Gearing up for Seattle vs NY

[studentized 166]

 

Seattle vs New York. Defending champs vs playoff rookies. Most skilled team vs hottest team of late. This matchup has a bit of everything so however you want to look at it, it should be a good one. 

 

Let's talk about Seattle. To my knowledge this is the highest TPA team ever assembled in VHL history, eclipsing the 10,000 TPA mark even before reaching the end of the regular season. But high skill isn't always favoured in STHS. They finished 3rd in the regular season standings and struggled against New York this year (the new New York, that is. Not the lousy team that started the year).

 

For New York, you just don't have the same skill. On paper they have one great forward surrounded by a lot of depth pieces. Good, but not great defence. A good, but not great goalie. But put them all together and they are playing like something special. Is it special enough to grind it out against Seattle in 7 games? Probably not. That said, something is there. If not this year, then next year or the year after. The window just cracked open for NY and it will be interesting to see how they fare.
