Castle vs Rask

[animal74 1,622]

 VS 

 

After being drafted 13^th and 14^th overall in the S86 Draft, goaltenders Joel Castle @animal74 (Toronto Legion) and Fuukka Rask @Jubis (Helsinki Titans) have been spending the last five seasons working their way up to the top echelon of the VHL, pulling their teams with them. Having very similar career trajectories, they both got their first taste of the post-season in S90 although Rask lost in the first round, while Castle lost in the Conference Final. Now they face each other in the Continental Cup Final and one of them will help their team end a lengthy Cup drought.

 

Helsinki last won the Cup in S66 and Toronto the season before in S65. This will be the 5^th time these teams have battled for the Cup with the last time being when Toronto won their last of consecutive Cups in S64 and S65 beating Helsinki both times. They also faced off against each other in S22 (Helsinki won) and S48 (Toronto won) which means that Toronto holds a 3-1 edge in Finals series wins.

 

Good luck to both teams!
