Dead before we got out of the first. 2 finals appearances in 3 seasons for Lahtinen and heartbreak both times, oh well. Absolutely amazing playoffs from Riga, especially @Greg_Di who just proved to be way too strong to beat.

12-1 throughout the playoffs. Is that a record?

Kinda is and kinda isn't. Teams have won needing only 9 games before (Helsinki in S66 for sure and it's happened before that as well if I recall) but I don't think any team has done better than 13 games when needing to play all 3 rounds.

Yeah, that's a better win% than Helsinki going 8-1.

Yeah, if you go by percentage. I figured you just meant total games needed to win.

Wow @hedgehog337 what you feeding that Riga crew? Congrats on the pure domination from Riga these playoffs, holy man what a reckoning of a win.

 

Was like despite NA being more stacked the more competitive series took more out of CGY by the time they got to finals.

Technically we won the cup with the most wins and least losses all time, sooooooooooooooooooo

Congrats Riga ! 

We had no fight left I guess. 

 

@Tate ? enjoy the celebrations !  A well deserved prize for a great player like Lincoln

Busser out there scoring big goals in latest games, Eagles doing his Eagles job aka sniping a game away from an opponent and Nyko gets his CWG! RELIEF SEASON!

gg Calgary. Thought it's gonna go in 6 games at least, you certainly looked like a favorite after doing great in reg season and being clutch in NA series. And this game went to OT, so yeah. That was close. You still have a nice S69-72 core so your team should be good for seasons. Good luck in next seasons! @Jubis
