This can't be good
The site is obviously not behaving properly.

This is hilarious. After shipping Shilling for Milburn, the idiotic computer comes down with this offer...
How hilarious this is?
Anders mate, you really need to fix computer controlled teams logic.

First off, a big Congratulations to Bouncer and the West Chicago Hawks on the ever so coveted GHL championship this season in Cage!
-
        My plan following the conclusion of the GHL finals this season is for a complete relocation/rebranding of the Netherhill Nightmares, (its DEFERIETly an original idea which has never been tried before, EVER. (Dont @ me))
-
With the conclusion of the GHL finals, i am pleased to anounce that the Netherhill Nightmares have Officially Been relocated and rebranded to become:
The Maxville Vortex

Effective Immediately.
 

So I may have had a rather busy Friday and forgot to put up a match up preview for the finals. Oops. Well your getting one late anyways.
 
#3 Sheshegwaning Dragons vs #2 West Chicago Hawks
Regular season series: 2 wins Dragons
 
I think this is likely to be a close series even though one game has already been played. The Dragons have the better offensive team talent wise while the Hawks play a more complete team game that emphasizes strong defensive play. If the Dragons had a goalie I felt like I could trust I would say that this is the match up of the two best teams in the league. Outside of the net it certainly is in my mind. I am really looking forward to seeing how this series plays out.
 
Honest confession: I'm pulling for the Hawks in this one for the simple fact that he has his entire team playing in a way I wish I could get my team to play. Either way, best of luck to both teams.

Wow, so the regular season series between all the current match-ups was 2-2.  These quarterfinals should be very close.  I agree that the Dragons and Red Tide are the two best teams in the East - and will be for quite some time.  They are starting to get a little rivalry going, which is great.  The Prairie Stars and Hawks have been the two best teams out West and I don't see that changing any time soon either.  But we all know that anything can happen in the playoffs, which is what keeps it exciting. 
And rainsilent - great season for you despite the early playoff exit.  I was impressed with what you were able to accomplish with a team without much super star power.  Taking nothing away from the Nightmares as Tyrod always puts together a solid team (think they are much better than 8th place btw), but the OT and double SO losses were a rough way to end it - and I still think the fact that we can't edit our SO lineup makes it frustrating at times.  On paper this was more like a 3/6 or 4/5 match-up.
Good luck to all remaining.

So, in the end I managed to guess 7 winners out of 8, only Minuteman failed to fit in my projections  So, round 2...
 
Dragons - Red Tide 3-2 (I would say here that Tide are favorites 60-40, but as I said before, can't go against my own team hehe)
Battlin Bears - Nightmares 3-2 (I will go with the Joe here)
Prairie Stars - Wolverines 3-2 (nice team by Wolveries, but Stars are winning Cup this year)
Hawks - Tomahawks 2-3 (my pick for surprise, based on nothing but wild guess)
 
Ta-da

Round two: No regular season stats anymore because it is the second round of the playoffs.
 
#2 Red Tide vs #3 Dragons
Regular season series: 1W and 1OTW Red Tide, 2W Dragons.
 
The two best teams in the East face off. It was a close series in the regular season and it will likely be close in the playoffs so long as the goaltending for the Dragons holds up. If it doesn't this is very likely to be a short series.
 
#4 Battlin Bears vs #8 Nightmares
Regular season series: 2SOW Battlin Bears, 2W Nightmares.
 
The two wins by the Nightmare were the last two meetings between these two teams and the games weren't close. I still think this is going to be a close series though however the Battlin Bears are the underdogs in my mind as I think the Nightmares have the better team.
 
#1 Prairie Stars vs #5 Wolverines
Regular season series: 2W Prairie Stars, 2W Wolverines
 
The regular season series between the two was a split and the entire series was actually close. The Wolverines has the offense to keep pace if it becomes a scoring race. The real question is if the Prairie Stars can take control of the games with their more complete team.
 
#2 Hawks vs #6 Tomahawks
Regular season series: 2W Hawks, 2W Tomahawks
 
Another series that was split however the series was rather lopsided with a win for each team that wasn't close at all. The Tomahawks were a great 5 on 5 scoring team while the Hawks struggled to score 5 on 5. I think this is going to be another close series determined by whatever team happens to play better 5 on 5.

Congratulations to everyone on another great regular season! Good luck to the teams still in the playoffs, and productive off-season to everyone else.
You know the drill.
