Malmo Head Into Playoffs as Top Bird

The Malmo Nighthawks have been a dominant force in the S92 VHL season and today officially captured the Victory cup and established themselves as the frontrunners for the championship this year.  In a talented European conference Malmo has managed to amass an impressive 108 points with an overall record of 51 wins, 12 losses, and 6 overtime losses in 69 games.

What has really stood out to me as a pivotal factor in their success is their balanced scoring approach and the collective contributions from every part of their roster. While they currently don’t have a 90 plus point player, they currently have at least 6 players in Viktor Jensen, Jacob Stone, Yaroslav Bogatyrev, Reese McFleury, Henry Eagles, and Ronald Johnson MacWallace III at a point per game or above. They have also got outstanding contributions from their young S90 and S91 players who have put up at minimum 40 points in depth scoring.

As the playoffs kick off later this week, Malmo will mostly likely wait to play the winner of London and Prague in the wildcard series.  While both talented teams, it will be interesting to see if those teams can kick it up a gear to compete with the excellence the Nighthawks have displayed all season long.

It's going to be an interesting playoff matchup since they'll have either London or Prague in the first round, both of which are considerably better than Malmo on paper, but STHS does STHS things
