Vasteras Eliminated From Playoffs

After a 2-1 loss to the Riga Reign, the Vasteras Iron Eagles have officially lost the European Conference semi-finals in 6 games.  It proved to be a short run in the team’s first ever playoff appearance in five seasons, however the fact that the series went six games rather than four inspired hope among Iron Eagles fans.  “I’ve still got hope,” said one fan after Game 6.  “It’s relieving to finally see this team make the playoffs, and to see us get so close to getting out of the first round was upsetting, but still reassuring knowing that the team can get even further next year.”

 

The loss was just as devastating for the players.  “It’s tough to be eliminated in our first series,” said Vasteras captain Willem Janssen.  “We’ve worked hard enough throughout the entire season and we had a desire and a will to fight for the cup.  We’ll be back next year and ready to make a run for the championship.  We can only go up from here.”
