Da Trifecta 1,899 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 The Playoffs The playoffs are something that most teams get to enjoy every season. You have three teams from both conferences who make the playoffs and the remaining two from each don't. This season will be featuring the Toronto Legion, the New York Americans and the Quebec City Meute from the North American conference. The Meute finished with the league's best record of 60 wins with only eight losses and four overtime losses. The Legion had 59 wins, nine losses and four overtime losses as well. The New York Americans finished with 57 wins, 14 losses and one overtime loss. The North American conference was the most amazing conference in the league and they dominated the competition all season long. Even the team in fourth place, the Seattle Bears finished with 40 wins, 30 losses and two overtime losses. Four teams finished above .500 and even the Bears finished with a better record than any team in the European Conference. The European Conference was a complete joke. The team with the best record was the Cologne Express and they finished 35 wins, 32 losses and five overtime losses. The Davos Dynamo came in second place with 33 wins, 30 losses and nine overtime losses. The Riga Reign slid into the playoffs as they basically were forced to. They finished with a record of 31 wins, 36 losses and five overtime losses. The only team in the playoffs under .50. Despite how the teams have fared, both conferences look like they could be a toss up for who wins their respected conference. The North American Conference has each team within 1-2 wins of the next competing team. The European Conference has teams within two wins of each other. The European conference is believe to be the weaker conference and I am almost certain a team from the North American Conference will win. Now it's not set in stone who will win and some teams may be favored more than others, but this will be the best playoffs we have seen in awhile. I mean in terms of talent. The NA conference is stacked with talent and loaded with star power. The EU conference also boasts some star power, but not as much as the NA conference. It's going to be interesting to watch the finals as I state above the NA team being favored. Of course we have seen crazier things happen. If the Toronto Legion get there and they are up three games to one, we could see the curse take effect. Or they could be the first team to repeat since the Helsinki Titans did it a few seasons ago. Right now all we know is that the playoffs can and will be exciting for most. Many players and GM's will be let down for obvious reasons. We may see the underdogs take over or we could see the best of the best win. I'd like to wish all of the teams the best of luck and I just want to say "Go Davos".

Phil 5,119 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 The Riga/Davos series should be a close one! Also, let's see if the addition of Karnage is enough to down down Toronto. Gonna be good.

FacePuncher 1,343 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Review: i agree, this will be some good playoff hockey, especially if Quebec loses! I wonder if New York will be able to pull out a victory with Karnage leading the way. Anyway i will be looking forward to my golf swing getting that extra work! 503 words Edited July 2, 2016 by ADwyer87 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/31751-the-playoffs-reviewed/#findComment-354912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
