Legion's Playoff Hopes Dwindling

A recent three-game losing streak has put a damper on Toronto's playoff hopes

 

TORONTO, Ontario - No one predicted the Toronto Legion to even be in the playoff conversation this season, let alone this deep into it, so the fact that they even are is a testament to how much the team has improved in comparison to last years squad. Up until now, the Legion were able to stay in the hunt thanks to strong play by veterans Aron Nielsen and Zeno Miniti, as well as admirable  goaltending from rookie Jaxx Hextall, but it looks like their luck may finally be running out. In the last three games, the Legion have been outscored by a combined total of 12-3 (6-2 Seattle, 5-1 New York, & 1-0 DC), and all of those games were against conference opponents above them in the playoff picture. Toronto's next four games include three against NA opponents, and they will almost certainly need to win all three of those games to even have the slightest chance of sneaking into the playoffs. This is a make-or-break weekend for the Legion's S71 hopes.
