Philadelphia Fires Ahead

[flyersfan345 38]

Through the first 26 games of the season, the Ottawa Lynx looked unstoppable, holding a commanding lead over Philadelphia for the top spot in the VHLM. This lead started to show cracks after Ottawa ended an eight game winning streak and Philadelphia began to close the gap. The once double digit lead was down to five by the 30 game mark.

 

Since then, the Philadelphia Reapers have been completely unstoppable. They now hold a commanding nine point lead over Halifax for the top spot in both the Eastern Conference and the VHLM as a whole. Over their last 20 games, Philadelphia has an astounding record of 15-2-3. Their slow start to the season has been completely brushed aside. After several incredibly high scoring games, the Reapers now have an easy league lead in goal differential, standing at +59 so far this season. While there's never a guarantee for any team to win it, they're inching closer to the playoffs as clear Founder’s Cup favorites in a top heavy league, where the top four teams are all Eastern Conference rivals.
