How is Toronto so Good?

Here we will go into depth of the magical run of the Toronto Legion in this season's play-offs. Currently they are in the finals with Davos leading one to nill in the best of seven series. With many expecting New York to defeat the Legion it came as a complete surprise when Remy LeBeau put on a performance for the decades to power his Toronto team to Continental Cup finals. After surviving a grueling six game series against Seattle their fortunes have been looking up and their team has been stealing the spotlight away from Rod Ford.

Goaltending:


This is the main part of the team that has stuck out for me. Remy LeBeau put on a goaltending clinic throughout the entire post-season and has been an important piece to the puzzle of Toronto's play-off run. After his first game against Seattle where he let in five goals on 36 shots he made a miraculous comeback and back-stopped Toronto through two series single glovedly. Get it? He leads all goalies in save percentage with a staggering 94.5 percent! His numbers have been unreal and it has been a true blessing to watch Remy go out with a trip to the finals. His consistent play will need to continue if the team wishes to beat a powerful Davos team. LeBeau will go off on a high note as he looks to wrap things up in Switzerland.


Offense:


Toronto's offense has been absolutely clutch. Their one-two punch down the middle of Lindberg and Kjellberg have proven formidable as they run with a strong supporting cast of Chic Salmon, Anatoli Zhumbayev and Evgeny Namestnikov. Kjellberg has scored an explosive twenty goals to lead his team and all players in the league when it comes to scoring. He may not be a big body but his finesse and skill allow him to make crisp passes and score when needed. Chico Salmon has become a big name in Toronto, scoring the game winning goal in overtime against Davos to ensure Toronto a lead in their series. With eight goals he leads the charge for this Legion squad. Evgeny is a craft player and alongside Zhumbayev they have formed one of the best lines in the post-season. Lindberg leading the forwards corps with solid two-way play proves that the Legion are a force to be reckoned with.

Defense:


You can't give enough credit to Sixten and Jack Sound who have been absolutely workhorses for the team and with Hudson chipping in, they have a solid anchor to chip in from time to time. They fight, hit, block shots and score. What more could you ask for in a defenseman? Jack Sound has produced at a respectable pace and the team will need to tighten up if they want to be able to defeat the Dynamos squad that are poised to make a comeback if the Legion aren't too careful. So far they have done a good job and shutting down opposing team's big guns and Remy will need to give credit for their work.

Overall it's pretty obvious that Remy LeBeau has been playing out of his mind. Davos are definitely favorites in this bout but if LeBeau has anything to say about what's been going on, there is no way Toronto will be going out easily. With Kjellberg leading the charge and their entire team pitching in it will be difficult to see where this run ends but we will make a prediction. Toronto wins the Continental Championships after a tough game seven to have LeBeau finish his career in style.

Nice article here. No doubt LeBeau has been on a tear this playoffs. I really thought New York would move past Toronto but leBeau pretty much stole the show from them. The whole Toronto team has been beasting, really.

Good job, just one silly thing:
