Kyrie 54 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Outlaws Rushed Out It was tough on the fans to watch the Turku Outlaws crushed in the VHLM finals by the Yukon Rush in sweeping fashion. Many had predicted that the Outlaws would put up a struggle but the complete dominance that Yukon had displayed was a sight to behold. The three-two loss in game four was a bitter pill for the team to swallow but there were many reasons to why the Rush cruised past the Outlaws with relative ease. Two teams that were top of their respective conferences met up to prove themselves as a mismatch. Here we take an in depth look at why Turku failed to win a game.Goaltending: Magalhães Pergher let Turku down big time. The amount of goals he let in were downright horrifying while only posting a save percentage above ninety percent in game one. The Outlaws did not leave him out to dry and he was given great defending but he looked like a complete sieve. Pergher should feel ashamed to put on such an underwhelming performance and will need to bounce back from his flounders. In the opposite corner there was Brock Waldron who was an absolute rock for the defending champions of the Founder's Cup. He posted an unreal save percentage north of ninety four percent! He is definitely in contention for being the MVP of his team.Special Units: Turku had one of the worst special units performance I have ever seen. Only converting sixteen percent of their powerplay opportunities while facing the Rush in the post-season. They had multiple chances to score with a man advantage but Yukon's penalty kill dashed any hopes of Turku using the powerplay as an outlet to barrage the Rush with goals. After barely squeaking past Moscow this team's powerplay seemed to have completely dried up. Their penalty kill was no better as Yukon converted one hundred percent of their powerplay opportunities in game four and have used their own powerplay to overpower the likes of Turku. If the Outlaws had gotten a more organized special unit's formation then things definitely could have been more interesting.Disappearing Act: Koji Yamazaki is thought to be one of the top prospects for the upcoming entry draft. His physicality, responsibility and heavy shot are what teams value in a defenceman but the Rush were having none of that. Despite being a physical presence Koji recorded a total of zero points in the Yukon series. Zero. This was just after he had put up eleven in seven games against Moscow. Yamazaki struggled to produce when his team needed him most but that is a credit to the Yukon Rush. They battled hard and made sure that the Outlaws would have a difficult time against the defending champions. We had predicted that the Moscow Red Wolves would lift the cup earlier but it appears that has been proven wrong as the Yukon Rush yet again win another championship. After Turku blitzed Moscow with high flying offense there was much anticipation for a long drawn out series with an exciting finish but the Yukon Rush were too good. Did Turku pass Moscow by a fluke or was it the fact that the Rush had formed into a freight train that did not want to stop? The Outlaws will wish they had converted on their chances but we bid a congratulations to Yukon for their Founder's Cup victory.

Guest Svoboda_3 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Content: 3/3 569 words. I, too was a bit surprised that the series between these two teams ended so quickly. You did a good job exemplifying the problematic areas for the Outlaws. As a former Outlaw myself, it's tough seeing that team reach the finals and then come up short. They had promise, and this article featured promise that the Outlaws were missing.Grammar: 2/2 Just watch the missing commas, which usually translate into run-on sentences. top of their = tops in their units performance = unit performances seen. Only = seen, only with a man advantage = with the man advantage Moscow this = Moscow, this special units = specialty unit teams = team's Appearance: 1/1 Loved it.Overall: 6/6 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/9751-claimedclaimedoutlaws-rushed-out/#findComment-91218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
