Exlaxchronicles 415 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Who's Getting The Cup This Year? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well another season has just about ended and positions one four and five in the standings have all been locked up by Calgary, NY and Quebec. The Titans and Dynamo both have a game in hand but Helsinki has a one point lead. This could factor in a second place finish for the club if they pull a win their last game, regardless if HC wins or loses. But Helsinki needs the win for second spot. I see the Meute as the underdog here. They have a good core of young players from last seasons draft, but they're still raw so it'll be a season or two before they are more competitive. NY is a dark horse. The club is either going to play like they did early in the season or come on strong as they have these past fifteen games. They have the talent but can they keep it all together for the playoffs? HC is pretty even with the Americans in play but they have a little bit more offense, where as NY has a tighter back end. ( No pun intended). It'll be interesting to see how both clubs fare. Right now Helsinki is the highest scoring team in the league. But they are also the worst defensive club making the playoffs next to Quebec. I think though with their offense the Titans have a really good chance to make the finals. Calgary has wrangled itself to the top of the pile with a solid blend of both offense and defense. The only thing is though is that the club pretty much heavily relies on one line to do the scoring. So if other teams can shut down their top line, Calgary may be in trouble. I have no idea who will make it to the finals. Do I see a repeat of last year? Its possible but any of the clubs have enough talent to win it all. Feel free to leave your predictions down below.
