ECN's "VHL Now!"

14th Edition "Playoffs are here!"

Welcome back to your ECN coverage of important things happening around VHL and this time we will be looking at playoffs and first games we have seen already played between teams who have graciously made their way into playoffs.

 

Quite surprisingly, every team that we see in playoffs have had truly competitive series. We are currently 4 games into Playoffs and 3 of the series are tied at 2-2 and only one series has 3-1 score.

Seattle and Toronto are still keeping up the same competitive nature they had in regular season. With series 2-2 and very similar on-ice performance, we see a battle of a young and flourishing team battling against hardened, older team that has all the tools to win any match-up. The question here will be who’s goaltender will win the series for them, either the best young goaltender in VHL Rayz Funk or highly praised goaltender JB Rift?

 

Calgary and Vancouver are series that probably not a single person thought will go this way. After Calgary sent their star player Diljodh Starload to Vancouver they seem to be performing better as they not only finished season on a better pace then they had at the start of the season, but they have seen to found their way at being a tough team to fight against on the defensive end. Again, another series that will be decided on a single question – will Vancouver be able to crack the shell the shell of Brick Wahl and make their way past the team they have faced 2 playoffs in a row?

 

Davos and Malmo match-up is interesting, yes, Malmo on paper has the better roster and they are clearly the favorites for the cup win, that being said, we can not lay off the idea that Davos could completely destroy Malmo and be victorious in the end. Here Davos will have to rely on their star goal-tending and offensive capabilities that we see from players like Jake Davis. Who knows, maybe their secret weapon Gritty will be the one to lead the team to the next round?

 

Helsinki and Riga match-up is probably the most interesting one considering how much star power is surrounding both teams. Helsinki and their fantastic duo in Julian Borwinn and Kronos Bailey have kept everyone on their toes after they have continued their fantastic play we saw in regular season. For Riga it is the question of whether or not their amazing and experienced forwards in Rauno Palo and Ryan Kastelic will be able to push for multi point games and be as effective on the offensive end as their opposing team.

 

All in all, we have to wait and see who will be going out of the first round and who will be getting their chance at winning the prize everyone wants to get – Continental cup! Will they be current champions Vancouver Wolves or will there be a new challenger who will hoist the cup and have the bragging rights for the next season.
