London Complete Sweep of Nighthawks

 

The London United stunned the hockey world this week as they completed a resounding 4-0 sweep of the Malmo Nighthawks in the second round of the playoffs. The Nighthawks, dominated the regular season en route to capturing the Victory Cup and were hoping to continue their dominance in the postseason. However, London had other plans, continuing their momentum from their 3-1 series victory over the Prague Phantoms.

Thus far, London has been led by stellar offensive displays from players like Leonard Triller (18 points), Molly the Cat (14 points), and Wann Kerr (13 points). In addition to their offensive firepower, London's goaltender Jesse Teno, appears to be in peak form between the pipes and is  boasting a remarkable .946 save percentage and a 2.1 goals-against average.

If their offense and goal tending stay in this form for the rest of the playoffs, other teams might have a tough time competing. Next up on their path to championship glory is playing the winners of Moscow and Helsinki which is currently evened up with 2 games a piece.
