Titans Advance

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

This team is resilient. Helsinki was down 3 games to 2 and knew they needed to perform with two big wins to advance to the second round against Riga. And that is what they did. The Titans threw their game play out the window and decided to pepper the young Malmo goalie with shots. They were able to score 10 goals in the two games and exhausted Malmo's playoff season. Not usually known as a goal scorer the Titans first round star was Jim Bob @jRuutu. He scored 7 goals in the 7 game series. That has him as the playoff leader, the 2 players below him were 2 Malmo players at 6 goals and they both had already played 12 games. The Titans had many star performances including Erik Summers, Hiroshi Okada, Valteri Vaakanainen, Ben Hafkey,  Erik Draven and Jared Spaz who are all over 1 point per game. Helsinki's powerplay was 25% in the series. Samuel Ross was great with 92.3% and 2.73 goals against average. Bring on the Riga Reign.
