S48 VHL Trivia: Final Results

[Victor 10,953]

lol did I completely forgot to copy paste my prepared post into here? whoooooops

 

Anyway, here are answers for the Cup final edition, final results and TPE payout. And 'grats Toronto.

 

Which original VHL franchise have the Legion never played against in the playoffs?
ANSWER: In addition to not playing Cologne to date, Toronto also never met Vasteras/Madrid/Stockholm in the 5 times made it to the finals.
Most of Toronto's finals have involved Riga and Davos.

 

How many Continental Cups did the Titans win before their first Victory Cup?
ANSWER: Helsinki famously was the last original franchise to win a Victory Cup, taking 33 seasons to finally lead the league during the regular season. Ironically, despite a really good S33, the Titans didn't even make the finals. They had won the cup 4 times when they weren't even favourites at the start, in S6, S15, S22, and S27.
Since S33, Helsinki has won 3 Continental Cups and 3 Victory Cups (S34, S45, S46), now all in the same season.

 

Question for both and

Helsinki and Toronto have only met once before in the playoffs. What was the only award that season's playoff MVP had won before joining Helsinki?
ANSWER: Helsinki beat Toronto in S22 in a huge underdog victory - the Legion were defending champions and finished the season with 126 points - the Titans were tied for second place with just 99.
Yet it didn't even take 7 games for the Titans to win the cup - the power of Jason Eugene Terry (JET) channelled by Cam Fowler, led them to an improbable victory.
That was Fowler's first season in Helsinki after a move from Seattle, where he had less playoff success but did win the Scott Boulet Trophy in S21.
