Admin Victor 10,942 Posted July 1, 2020 Admin Share Posted July 1, 2020 Ever since their very productive partnership together in Riga for 6 seasons, it looks like the Moscow and Riga GMs just can't get enough of each other. First, Podrick Cast was traded from Riga to Moscow and they promptly met in the Moscow's first playoff appearance in S67. Now, they're on a streak of 4 straight conference final appearances in a row. The Reign won in S69 before the Menace came up on top the past two seasons, including en route to the S70 Continental Cup. Moscow has never gone through a postseason without meeting Riga and fans are already booking tickets to Latvia for next season's playoffs. This has only ever happened twice before in VHL history, peculiarly in the same 4-season spell - New York and Calgary, and also Helsinki and Riga both met every season from S31 to S34. New York and Riga took the first 3 series, before Helsinki and Calgary avenged their losses en route to an enthralling 7-game finals in S34. However, only 3 of these 4-season streaks were conference finals: Riga beat Helsinki in the first round in S31, while Calgary's win over New York was also only in the first round in S31. Therefore, this is the first time ever that the exact same conference final has been played out for 4 seasons in a row. Are Riga and Moscow sick of each other? Will anyone stop them from going again in S73? And does either have a chance at the Continental Cup this season? I guess we'll have to wait and see. eaglesfan036, diacope and mediocrepony 3 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/86452-moscow-and-riga-cant-get-enough-of-each-other/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle 667 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Helsinki and Davos hadn’t played one another that many times in the 10s/20s? Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/86452-moscow-and-riga-cant-get-enough-of-each-other/#findComment-759756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
