VHLM Playoff Round Two Predictions

[Grape 528]

Philadelphia Reapers (1) vs Houston Bulls (5)

Prediction: Houston wins in 5 

Rationale:

I will continue to put doubt on Philadelphia until they lose. The Reapers are a fraud of a team, simple as. They have arguably the worst roster in the league with arguably the best goaltender, which has somehow kept them in contention. Houston is a complete juggernaut of a team, oozing with high end depth. The Bulls should absolutely stomp the Reapers in this matchup, and that is what I believe will happen. Reapers likely steal a game or possibly two due to goaltending, but this is an easy round for Houston.

Las Vegas Aces (2) vs Miami Marauders (6)

Prediction: Vegas wins in 7

Rationale:

 

This is a clash of two very strong teams, with only a 4 overall difference and somewhat similar goaltending. This will likely come down to STHS choosing which team they like more. It feels like Vegas has been close for a handful of seasons now, so STHS takes pity and lets them win the coin toss. Whichever way it goes though, this will likely be an extremely tight series.
