WSJ Mixed Feelings on 1st Playoff Experience

[Cornholio 182]

It was quite a thriller down the final stretch as the Prague Phantoms’ faithful held on to postseason hopes for their team. In their third season of existence, Prague has started the season strong, only to cool off for a bit too long. Then the Phantoms had to battle Helsinki Titans and the Malmo Nighthawks for the final two postseAson berths in the European Conference. 
 

“It was quite a thriller. We almost knocked ourselves out for the count when we hit that midseason slide. Sure; our inexperience could have killed us, but our veterans helped to keep our heads into the moment and not worry too much. We were finally able to right the ship and notch some huge victories to lock in our berth. That was fun, yeah. 
 

The actual postseason experience.. eh, I think that could have gone better for us. I mean, we knew that it was going to be a gauntlet going up against #1 Moscow but we did decent against them toward the end of the season... so why not? Then we just up and got swept. That wasn’t cool at all. Kinda defeats the purpose of going into the playoffs if you know what I mean? 
 

I hope that the management is able to keep all of us together and we just got to you know, keep on working and hopefully we’ll do better next year.”
