3 fun facts from the S93 playoffs

[Victor 10,828]

1. The Seattle Bears have defeated the D.C. Dragons for the fifth straight time, improving to a 5-0 all-time playoff record over the capital's finest – now one of the most lopsided matchups in VHL playoff history. What it means for the final result is up in the air though – the Bears went on to win the cup the first two times they beat the Dragons in S71 and S73, but lost in the finals after making it past D.C. in S79 and S84.

 

2. For the first time ever, the European Conference playoffs were contested solely by expansion teams – Moscow, Malmo, Prague, Warsaw, and the conference champions London. Not a great showing in S93 for the old guard of Riga, Helsinki, and Davos.

 

3. Just the one brand new playoff match-up in S93, with New York and Chicago facing off for the first time. The Phoenix have now played each of their seven conference rivals at least once since coming into the league in S73. Although it will take time for all the expansion franchises to meet every team in the other conference, this now means there is only one conference match-up yet to take place: Warsaw vs London.
