VSN Presents: VHL Road to the Finals

[Gaikoku-hito 1,664]

@leandrofg

 

Play-off are an exciting time and made even more exciting with the Wildcard rounds having teams face each other in a best of five. Even better when you have rivals facing each other in these games as it heightens the atmosphere around the games.  These Playoff seen rivals Vancouver and Seattle; two of the stronger but underperforming teams facing off in the North American conference and Helsinki and London, two teams heading in different directions.

 

 

North American Conference Wildcard:

 

Seattle Bears (5) vs. Vancouver Wolves (4)  

 

 

Game 1:        Vancouver Wolves   3-2

Both teams seemed nervous and tight in the first game. In the end it was defense for Vancouver that won them the first game with Pierre Emile Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito scoring two goals and assisting the third on the way to shutting down the Seattle Bears offense for most of the game. While out-shot 33-26; Vancouver never seemed to be threatened much by Seattle offense also evident in the final 30 seconds of the game when Seattle could even enter Vancouver zone after making the game close.

 

 

Game 2:         Seattle Bears      5-3

Seattle Bears came out firing as they tried to get to the Vancouver Wolves defense and managed to do so effectively in the first (or paid off the referees) as Vancouver would see a steady stream of defenders heading to the box with Brian Payne @Scurvy, Liv Slater @Subject056 and Pierre Emile Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito combining for ten minutes of penalties placing Seattle on the power-play for about half of the first period. Vancouver must have been happy being down only 2-1 to the referees at this point but after the game was made 3-1 early in the second period did the whistle finally go away. The game from this point was also never in doubt.

 

 

Game 3:      Vancouver Wolves    6-5

If the referee were paid off in the second game by Seattle Bears than Vancouver Wolves learned their lesson and paid the referees off for game 3 as Seattle would be called for six penalties in the first period spotting Vancouver a 3-1 lead. Holly barn burner of a second period with the team combining for six goals (three apiece), a fight between Dogwood Maple @dogwoodmaple and Rex Wolffe Gregor @oilmandan and short-handed goal by Babay Shrimp @Blazzer. In the end Seattle just could manage enough for a comeback.

 

 

Game 4:        Vancouver Wolves       3-2

Seattle Bears came out flying but in the end Brandt Fuhr @Tate and the Vancouver Wolves defense were able to shut down the Bears offense. Brandt Fuhr @Tate would make 39/41 saves for a 0.951sav%; best of game by far of his during the series. As the final game was a close hard-fought but, in the end, Vancouver Wolves were simple too much for the Seattle Bears.

 

 

Vancouver Wolves win the series   3-1

Very close series as expected with only one goal difference between the two teams. In the end it was shame that this series didn`t actually go the distance as the VHL hockey world was robbed of a possible epic battle in a do or die situation.

 

 

 

European Conference Wildcard

 

      London United (5) vs. Helsinki Titans (4)   

 

 

Game 1:       Helsinki Titans      6-3

Jesse Teno @aimkin would be hammered by shots from Helsinki Titans right from the drop of the puck but he managed to keep the score close and gave his team a chance to win but in the end three unanswered goals in the third period would put the game away for Helsinki in a feisty first game with both teams combining for 30 mins in penalties. Both teams would look to clean up the PIM if they are going to be more successful as the round continues.

 

 

Game 2:        London United     3-1

Jesse Teno @aimkin is really all I need to say here for this game as he stood on his head throughout the game with 38/39hots stopped and 0.974sav% as London United would capitalize on the great goaltending to score three unassisted goals in tightly fought game. Helsinki Titans will need to find a way to solve Teno if they are going to win this series.  

 

 

Game 3:       Helsinki Titans        5-2

They broke Teno? Helsinki Titans seemed to either solve Jesse Teno @aimkin or he simple had a night to forget for the ages as he would allow four goals on the first nine shots he would face spotting Helsinki lead in the game and the series. Five different goal scorers for Helsinki as Fuukka Rask @Jubis would stand tall in the Helsinki net. Can Helsinki close out the series?

 

 

Game 4:       London United       3-2 (Overtime)

Goaltending battle is the only way to describe this game as Jesse Teno @aimkin bounced back in a big way and had Helsinki Titans frustrated through two periods as he had stopped 28/29 shots through two periods. While Fuukka Rask @Jubis was matching him with 21/23 shots stopped through the same two periods. Helsinki would finally tie the game early in the third when Lloyd Braun @Toast would finally break through the Teno armor and set up the inevitable Overtime. Holly!! Molly the cat @JCarson would only need one shot to force a game five; in a unfitting finish to such a battle between the goaltenders. 

 

 

Game 5:        London United     5-3

The table turned as London United came out firing lead by Leonard Triller @Triller and they quickly chased Fuukka Rask @Jubis from the net with four goals on eleven shots. London never let off the throttle as they would fire another 37 shots towards the Helsinki net over the final two periods. Helsinki Titans tried to mount a comeback aid by their power-play bring the score back within one heading into the final frame but Leonard Triller @Triller stopped out all hope when he scores his third of the game.

 

 

London United win the series 3-2

In a series where Jesse Teno @aimkin played a huge role in majority of the games it is slight ironic that he played no factor in the deciding game of the series as he played his worse game; actually, both goalies did. In the end it was timely goaltending and offense from Leonard Triller @Triller that led the United past Helsinki in the series.

 

 

 

North American Semi – Finals

 

   Vancouver Wolves (4) vs. Toronto Legion (1)   

 

 

Game 1:      Toronto Legion   5-3

Back and forth like a heavy weight fight that majority came to watch but in the end Vancouver Wolves couldn`t shut down the top offense duel of Tomas Sogaard @Brandon (4G) and Ronan Lavelle; @Arce (4A). Vancouver will need a much better effort defensively to shut down these two all-star forwards if they are going to stay close with Toronto in the series.

 

 

Game 2:     Vancouver Wolves     1-0

Defense is all you need!! Vancouver Wolves managed to shut down Toronto Legion in the battles of the Goaltenders as Joel Castle @animal74 played well despite take the loss as Pierre Emile Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito scored the lone goal. Brandt Fuhr @Tate had his best game of the playoff pitching the shutout!! Toronto Legion will need to find a way to break the defense and goaltending of Vancouver Wolves.

 

 

Game 3:      Vancouver Wolves     2-1

Complete lock down by Vancouver Wolves seen Toronto Legion only manage 17 shots during the game; while they couldn`t stop Tomas Sogaard @Brandon and Ronan Lavelle @Arce duel completely. It was enough to sneak past Toronto with timely goals from Dogwood Maple @dogwoodmaple and Girts Galvins @Girts. If the games stay close it should favor Vancouver; right?

 

 

Game 4:       Toronto Legion      5-4 (Overtime)

Back and forth, Punch for Punch!! Vancouver Wolves weren`t able to contain Ronan Lavelle @Arce so they decided to remove him from the game sending goon Wann Kerr @VattghernCZ over the boards to deal with him. Ronan Lavelle @Arce somehow ended up with a Game Misconduct; giving Vancouver Wolves the advantage but a strong game from Siyan Yasilievich @badcolethetitan and Bobby Bob @Baby Boomer made up for the loss of Ronan Lavelle @Arce; with Siyan Yasilievich @badcolethetitan scoring the winner in overtime to bring the series back to even. Now a best of three.

 

 

Game 5:       Vancouver Wolves       4-3

Tale of the series? Defensive struggle through the first two periods with Vancouver Wolves shutting down the Toronto Legion offense until a third period in which the team would trade punches with Vancouver power-play keeping them in the game. Final punch being thrown by Vancouver Wolves at 19:00 when Oreo McFleury @JB123 scored; finishing off two goals and three-point night for the Vancouver forward. Anyone series; but Vancouver Wolves needs to shut down Toronto Legion offense again.

 

 

Game 6:        Toronto Legion     3-1

Joel Castle @animal74 stole this game for Toronto Legion as they also got timely goals from Mac Atlas @v.2 ; two of the three goals as Vancouver managed to shut down Toronto offense but this was the first game where it didn`t matter. A hot tender heading to a game seven; the Vancouver Wolves are in trouble.

 

 

Game 7 :       Toronto Legion      2-0

Toronto Legion took a page out of the Vancouver Wolves play book as they shut down the Vancouver offense and got another really strong game from Joel Castle @animal74; in an almost complete repeat of game six as Toronto also got timely goal from Mac Atlas @v.2 .

 

 

Toronto Legion win the series  4-3

In the end Vancouver Wolves was able to shut down the offense of the Toronto Legion but Toronto showed ability to adjust turning the tables on Vancouver by shutting down Vancouver offense and making the series a goaltending duel; in which the younger Joel Castle @animal74 was able to out battle the veteran Brandt Fuhr @Tate.

 

 

 

  Los Angeles Stars (3) vs. D.C. Dragons (2)  

 

 

Game 1:      Los Angeles Stars    4-3

D.C Dragons took it to Los Angeles Stars in the first period but could only score two goals and Los Angeles played rope a dope with timely power-play goals in the second and early third accounting for Los Angeles stars coming out on top; with a strong game from Napoleon Dynamite @thadthrasher and even stronger game from Art Vandelay @Gustav (42/45 shots & 0.933sav%). Feels like Los Angeles stole this game.

 

 

Game 2:      Los Angeles Stars      5-1

Back and forth tilt until D.C. Dragons let frustration get the better of them as they couldn`t beat Art Vandelay @Gustav . Jason @Jason kranz; your best forward fighting is never a good thing and it would also seems like it back fired as it gave the momentum to Los Angeles Stars as they would score four unanswered to win the game. Hockey is also a mental game and right now D.C. is losing it!!

 

 

Game 3:      Los Angeles Stars    2-0

Goaltending battle between Bubbles Utonium @fishy and Art Vandelay @Gustav with Vandelay coming out on top with the shutout. Frustration still showing from the Dragons with even Bubbles Utonium @fishy collecting a penalty for slashing. If D.C. has any chance they need to stay out of the box and find a way to solve Art Vandelay @Gustav .

 

 

Game 4:      Los Angeles     3-1

Couldn`t solve Art Vandelay @Gustav and couldn`t stay out of the box as Los Angeles goes 2/8 (25%) on the powerplay to win not only the game but the series.

 

 

Los Angeles stars win the series 4-0

When you have a goalie that is playing as well as Art Vandelay @Gustav ; it isn`t a matter if you are going to win the series but rather how many games will it take. In this case it was rather quick and painless for Los Angeles as the rode the hot tender to four straight wins. D.C. Dragons became frustrated from the third period of the second game on-wards and really seemed to self-explode. Sad since I had hoped they would at least push Los Angeles Stars in this series as the best offense team in the regular season. No offense and No wins!!

 

 

 

 European Conference  Semi – Finals

 

   London United (4) vs. HC Davos Dynamo (1)  

 

 

Game 1:     HC Davos Dynamo     3-0

HC Davos Dynamo jumped on London United early and often as they scored two goals before ice was even dry. HC Davos also showed one of the strengths of the defending champions by shutting down London offense for the rest of the game on the back of solid goaltending of Lachlan Summers @kirbithan. Was this a statement game?

 

 

Game 2:       HC Davos Dynamo     5-4

Chippy game with a lot of stick infractions and a combined 28PIM between the two teams. London United jumped on HC Davos Dynamo only 4 seconds into game. Three quick goals in the second period would put HC Davos ahead; only to have London fight back to tie the game showing that they can push the Champions but, in the end, a costly or timely powerplay goal by DB III @wcats would be the difference maker; in a very entertaining game.

 

 

Game 3:    London United      5-3

Back and forth game with Leonard Triller @Triller and Molly the Cat @JCarson finally breaking out offensively for the first time in the series and timely goaltending from Jesse Teno @aimkin combined for a strong victory for the United. London must still be concerned with the high scoring affairs and will look for strong defensive game?

 

 

Game 4:     London United     4-3 (Overtime)

Series tied as London United  out last HC Davos Dynamo with Jesse Teno @aimkin making timely saves again and Deron Nesbitt @AW13 having a nice little game scoring the winner in overtime as London now makes the it a best of three. Where is Lachlan Summers @kirbithan and Jake Thunder @Thunder as Davos really needs them to step to their All-star selves!!

 

 

Game 5:      HC Davos Dynamo     5-4

Jake Thunder @Thunder makes appearance assisting on four of the five goals scored by HC Davos Dynamo in another back and forth game as Leonard Triller @Triller and Molly the Cat @JCarson continue to shine for London United. DB III @AW13 scoring the winner again late in the third period to claim the victory for HC Davos. Can HC Davos final shut down London offense and claim the series?

 

 

Game 6:      HC Davos Dynamo         5-3

It wasn`t pretty but it is done!! James Teekirque was the difference maker with two goals and assist with B-DAV D3 sealing the deal with empty netter with twenty-four seconds left to play in the third. London simply couldn`t get the equalizer as Davos played a fairly defensive game only allowing 20 shots against.

 

 

HC Davos Dynamo win the series 4-2

In the end HC Davos Dynamo were simple just too strong for London United in what was a very entertaining series of high scoring games when most expected a low scoring series, a goaltending duel series or at least that is what I expected.

 

 

 

    Riga Reign (3) vs. Prague Phantoms (2)   

 

 

 

Game 1:      Riga Reign     4-3 (Overtime)

Riga Reign seemed to want to set tone for the series in game one as they took thirteen penalties for 31 PIM while Prague Phantoms answered back with seven penalties for 19 PIM; in by far the chippiest game of the playoff so far. With a fight between Perry Laperriere @KaleebtheMighty and Larry Abass Jr @RileyL only three minutes into the series. All the while Prague peppered Henry Tucker Jr @NSG for a total of 62 shots but in the end, Riga Reign would stand tall and win the game on the back of strong performance from The Frenchman @OrbitingDeath (2G – 1A) as he would score the Overtime winner. What a series we could be witnessing if this game is any indication?

 

 

Game 2:       Prague Phantoms       5-2

Three goals in under five minutes of play and majority of the chippiness from the game before was gone. Riga Reign couldn`t handle the duel of Perry Laperriere @KaleebtheMighty (3G) and Moritz Stauffer @GoodLeftUndone (4A) as Prague also received as strong goaltending performance from Matt Murdock @Acydburn (45/47 shots & 0.957sav%). Riga Reign needs to shut down Prague Phantoms offense!

 

 

Game 3:       Riga Reign     4-1

Henry Tucker Jr @NSG was fantastic as he out-dueled Matt Murdock @Acydburn early in the game until two quick goals in the third broke the game open and Riga Reign would add another as they would eventually cruise to victory. Offensively Riga Reign were led by AK Wit da Hoodie92 @hedgehog337 (1g & 3A) as they will look to take a strangle hold on the series. Prague Phantoms will look to have another offensive break through to try to even up the series.

 

 

Game 4:       Prague Phantoms       2-1

Well, not the offensive break through Prague  Phantoms were looking for but John Jameson @Frank seems to finding his footing in the playoffs with his second goal into two games. Another goalie duel that seen Matt Murdock @Acydburn get the better of Henry Tucker Jr @NSG this time; who really kept Riga in this contest making 47 saves on 49 shots. This game was really all Prague. Series now moves to best of three in what continue to be a chippy series.

 

 

Game 5:       Prague Phantoms     3-1

The goaltending battle continues in what has been a epic battle between the pipes with Prague Phantoms scoring quickly into the game forced Riga Reign to chase most of the game. Perry Laperriere @KaleebtheMighty two goal performance would be the difference as Admir Bala @Tyler would also have a nice game for himself with 3 helpers. Riga Reign are now the team looking for offense or they will be going home.

 

 

Game 6:       Riga Reign      5-2

Riga Reign finally broke Matt Murdock @Acydburn as they would score within the first minute of the game and force Prague Phantoms to chase. Brian Kowalski @Wheaties would have himself a game to remember with a hattrick and helper to lead Riga. Henry Tucker Jr @NSG was solid again in net but far less busier than previous games. Dabnad Shaw @Dabnad would fight John Jameson @Frank and be ejected from the game. Anyone series heading into game seven but I am expecting a goaltending duel so let’s hang onto our britches.

 

 

Game 7:      Prague Phantoms     5-4

Riga Reign hammered Prague Phantoms in the first period; that was very chippy with eight penalties. which led to the opening goal by Larry Abass Jr @RileyL for the Riga Reign. Penalties would play a huge role in this game; as Riga would be called for the next three to start the second period and while the teams trade goals all three goals from Prague Phantoms goals including the tying goal would come on the power-play. Deadlocked heading to the third with all on the line. Prague scored two quick goals around the sixteen-minute mark and seemed ready to cruise into the next round but Riga has other plans when Brian Kowalski @Wheaties scored just two minutes later to bring the game back within a goal but in the end, Prague was able to hang onto the Victory.

 

 

Prague Phantoms win the series 4-3

High scoring back and forth series was very entertain where either team could have actually won the series. Prague at the end of the day were simple too strong of a opponent for Riga Reign to handle but they gave it their all.

 

 

 

North American Conference Finals

 

     Los Angeles Stars (3) vs. Toronto Legion (1)    

 

 

 

Game 1:         Toronto Legion     3-2

Toronto Legion quickly jumped to the lead with two goals in under the first five minutes of the game and series as Toronto fired everything at Art Vandelay @Gustav in the first. The game became a defensive struggle before B-LAS D3 would get Los Angeles on the board and within a goal. Napoleon Dynamite @thadthrasher would tie the game on the power-play early in the third before Jimi Jaks @kelvi would score the winner just before the eight minute mark of the third. Los Angeles Stars took too many penalties putting Toronto Legion on the power-play eight times so they will look to stay clear of the box in the next game.

 

 

Game 2:      Toronto Legion      5-4

Jimi Jaks @kelvi; the star killer as he scored four goals to led the offense for Toronto Legion. Once again jumping out to an early two goal lead before the game was ten minutes old before allowing Los Angeles Stars to storm back into the game in the second. The second started in a crazy good old playoff hockey fashion as Napoleon Dynamite @thadthrasher would score 23secs into the period before only 4sec later Jimi Jaks @kelvi would score his hattrick goal to restore a two-goal lead. Los Angeles would than score two more goals to tie the game heading to the third before taking the lead just before the seven-minute mark when Napoleon Dynamite @thadthrasher would beat Joel Castle @animal74. Jimi Jaks @kelvi would scorer his fourth to tie the game before Bobby Bob @Baby Boomer would score the winner on the power-play and seal the victory for Toronto. Goaltending has been rather average so far in this series; which has been rather shocking.

 

 

Game 3:      Los Angeles Stars     2-1

Well, I had to mention the average goaltending at the end of the second game and both teams seemed to lock down the offense as both goalies would have their best game of the series. Art Vandelay @Gustav in the end out dueled Joel Castle @animal74 as the early goals continue to be a thing in this series. Los Angeles Stars have life and will continue to try to shutdown Toronto Legion offense. Toronto Legion will look to bounce back offensively in the next game and try to claim a strangle hold on the series.

 

 

Game 4:    Los Angeles Stars     5-4

Offensive game from Los Angeles Stars when I expected them to shut things down? Actually, what happened was Los Angeles stars let up after scoring three goals in under ten minute and thought they would cruise to victory before Toronto Legion would answer for two of their own to make the game close after one. Los Angeles must have received a tongue lashing as they scored two quick goals in the first ten minute of the second to seal the victory. Toronto would add one late but ran out of time for a comeback. Joel Castle @animal74 will look to have a bounce back for Toronto Legion as he allowed five goals on sixteen shots; simple not good enough!! Oh, Series also tied so we are now a best of three and momentum in favoring Los Angeles Stars.

 

 

Game 5:        Toronto Legion      3-2 (Overtime)

Bounce back game expected from Joel Castle @animal74 and that is what we got as the goaltenders decided to duel again but this time Joel Castle @animal74 and Toronto Legion coming out as the victors. Mac Atlas @v.2 lead the attack for Toronto Legion with a goal and two assist; including the game winner in overtime. Jimi Jaks @kelvi would also make his first real appearance since game two scoring the tying goal in the third period to send the game to overtime.

 

 

Game 6:       Los Angeles Stars      3-1

Art Vandelay @Gustav had a subpar game five and made up for it in game six (28/29shots) as Los Angeles Stars would score three unanswered as they force a game seven winner takes all. Bobby Bob @Baby Boomer opened the scoring for Toronto Legion as once again early goals seems to the theme of the series at 46sec mark of the second only to be answered back by Los Angeles Stars  Todd Cooke @KRZY one minute later. Another Goaltending duel won by Art Vandelay @Gustav and Joel Castle @animal74 has to be better if Toronto Legion are going to win game seven.

 

 

Game 7:        Los Angeles Stars     3-2

Team traded punches through the first thirty minute of the game before Art Vandelay @Gustav shut it down for Los Angeles Stars. Los Angeles Stars Adam Rage @MrMom would open the scoring just before the ten minute mark of the first. Only to be answered by two goals by Toronto Legion would give them the lead heading into the second frame. Early goals are a thing and Napoleon Dynamite @thadthrasher wasted little time tying the game just 30sec into the second. Gregger McKeggegger @TheNeonShaman would finish out the scoring at eleven minute mark on the power-play as Los Angeles Stars head to the Continental Cup finals for the first time in their history.

 

 

Los Angeles win the series 4-3

Close, tight hockey in which the better teams defense or goaltending usually wins and this was the case in the series with Art Vandelay @Gustav out playing Joel Castle @animal74. This series really could have gone either way as all games were decided by a single goal except game 6. Los Angeles Stars will now look to bring home their first Continental Cup in their first ever finals appearance.

 

 

 

European Conference Finals

 

     Prague Phantoms (2) vs. HC Davos Dynamo (1)  

 

 

Game 1:       Prague Phantoms       3-2 (Overtime)

Good strong defense is usually lead by a strong goaltender as the first game of the series seen a goaltending battle between Lachlan Summers @kirbithan and Matt Murdock @Acydburn. Summers kept HC Davos in the game face 49 shots of which he was able to stop 46 of them but it wasn`t enough as Jason Argos @Insypher would score the overtime winner to give Prague Phantoms the series lead. HC Davos Dynamo will be kicking themselves for being undisciplined taking eight penalties including one in the third that lead to the tying goals being scored by Fred Hampton @TownBizness; they will look to be more disciplined in the next game.

 

 

Game 2:       HC Davos Dynamo      5-4 (Double Overtime)

Offensive outbreak as Prague Phantoms were unable to control the trio of James Teekirque @Mongoose87 (3G & 1A), Pete Mitchell @Crstats23 (4A) and Skor McFleury @Alex (2G & 2A) in a game where Matt Murdock @Acydburn was able to keep Prague in the game despite giving up five goals as he would face a total of 67 shots making 62 saves. At the other end Lachlan Summers @kirbithan was solid and allowed Skor McFleury @Alex to score the overtime winner just 15 secs into the second overtime. Prague Phantoms will try to shut down the offense out burst of HC Davos Dynamo and hope the strong play from Matt Murdock @Acydburn continues.

 

 

Game 3:     Prague Phantoms       4-1

Early goal only 29 secs by Nikolas Kauppi @Tetricide set the tone as Prague Phantoms would take the game to HC Davos Dynamo right from the moment the puck dropped. Prague offense was led by John Jameson @Frank (1G & 3A) and Nikolas Kauppi @Tetricide (2G) as Prague offense continues to roll. HC Davos Dynamo will look to try to solve Matt Murdock @Acydburn as his strong play continues and try to shut down Prague Phantoms offense. Prague Phantoms on the other hand will try to claim a strangle hold on the series. 

 

 

Game 4:         Prague Phantoms          4-3 (Overtime)      

Much stronger start to the game by HC Davos Dynamo seen them leave the first period with a two-nothing lead and they would hold this lead for most of the second until a costly penalty would see Prague Phantoms bring the game within one as Velociraptor Greg @samx would score their first of the game on the power-play. Prague Phantoms would than score two quick goals in under six minutes to start the third period before Halvar Torbjorn @Rayzor_7 would tie the game just after the nine-minute mark and send the game to overtime for the third time in the series. Velociraptor Greg @samx would score their second of the game and the overtime winner on the power-play. Prague Phantoms now have a strangle hold on the series up three games to one. HC Davos Dynamo need all hands on deck if they are going to comeback in this series.

 

 

Game 5:       Prague Phantoms     4-1

Prague Phantoms  dominated from the start scoring two goals on fifteen shots and adding another goal while firing twenty-nine shots at Lachlan Summers @kirbithan; who was doing everything he could to keep HC Davos Dynamo in the game and series. HC Davos Dynamo tried everything in the third period to save their season but couldn`t solve Matt Murdock @Acydburn until the final minute of the game on the power play.

 

 

Prague Phantoms win the series 4-1

Series was a lot closer than the five games length might actually suggest as three of the game went to overtime but in the end, it was the offensive strength that powered Prague past the defending Continental Cup Champions and Lachlan Summers @kirbithan. Prague Phantoms also showed how lethal they are on the power-play and made HC Davos Dynamo pay for any infractions. Prague Phantoms will look to claim their first Continental Cup as they make their second appearance in the finals.

 

 

Continental Cup Finals Outlook

     Los Angeles Stars (3) vs. Prague Phantoms (2)     

 

Los Angeles Stars; an expansion team in S73 will make their first trip to the finals against Prague Phantoms an expansion team from S68; who is making their second trip to the finals. Either way History will be made as Los Angeles or Prague will lift their first Continental Cup in franchise history. Two high powered offensive teams with two more than capable goaltenders could see an wildly unpredictable finals but a very entertaining one!!

Unexpectedly my free graphic program decided today it wasn`t going to be free any longer so now I am either searching for a new free program or going to have to buy the program. I am leaning towards just buying it.

 

I will fix the image now since I also figure out how to us the image link!! LOL!! I learn new things everyday!!

Also I was going to cover the wildcard only than cover the Semi-Finals and than lastly cover the Conference Finals but my procrastinating butt meant I kept missing the rounds and new ones started and finished faster than I could write.
