[Tape-to-Tape 298]

The playoffs starting this week with the wildcard games between Prague - Riga and Seattle - Calgary. With those best of 5 series done the Helsinki Titans will now start their first round series against the Warsaw Predators. Warsaw only finished 2 points behind Moscow. Warsaw has been an impressive expansion team that has shown improvement each season and now they are a top contender. They scored the most goals in the league  and are equally great on the road or at home. Helsinki had another great season finishing 42-23-7 and are going to give it their all to make another run at the cup. Ola Vikingstad will lead a strong offence after he scored 50 goals for the first time in his career. Patrik Laine has proven to be what the Titans drafted. Laine ended the season with 97 points. Zamboni Driver earned 38 wins and 5 shutouts. He will face Ajay Krishna who had 47 wins and 4 shutouts.
