Davos/Moscow Round 3

[JCarson 798]

Season 97 has come to an end.  It was an interesting season with many surprises.  It was an interesting season with some things being as predicted.  It was an interesting season for sure. 

 

With that said I want to focus on one specific topic, one particular outcome.  Since my player came into the league in season 95 they have been in all three seasons of playoffs.  During that time HC Davos Dynamo and the Moscow Menace have had to face each other in every playoff.  In the first two contests between these teams Davos has gotten the upper hand eliminating Moscow twice. 

 

So, what can we expect in the third installment of the Davos/Moscow playoff battle. As in prior years the on-paper analysis would suggest that Moscow is the stronger team. Yet if you look at season 95 and 96 the same would have been said.  

 

Looking at this season, Moscow and Davos played 5 games, Moscow took 4 of those in regulation and one in shoot out.  Moscow took all 5 games.  Does that mean they have the advantage this season. It could mean that, but we will need to see for sure. 

 

All I know is that Davos has been the underdog against Moscow the last two seasons and found some way to rally and take the series.  Season 97 may be no different.  The players are ready for another fight and are focused on proving they have what it takes to win another series and move on towards another championship appearance.
