Yo! I know I'm late, but I thought that I would predict every single PLAYOFFS-series from now til the end of the tournament when CoG the almighty have lifted the trophy. Better late than never. I start with round of 16, even tho some games already have been played. But anyways, it dosen't matter since the answer is written below. This is offical and to tell you the truth ... with this in mind there is not really any vital reason for us to keep playing in this tournament. But meh ... I guess the obvious is satifying in it's own way as well.

 

Note: I only predict the winners, not in # of games.

Power of Finland - HC Meteor (Power of Finland wins)
HC Meteor has everything to gain, and nothing to lose here. But a win here would simple be the most monumental suprise in EHL-history. Obviously not going to bet on such a logic. Power of Finland is the best team right now and will probably win quite easily. PROVE ME WRONG!

 

 

Sons of the Morning - HC Rednecks (Sons of the Morning wins)
I think Rednecks can take one or two games in this series. But not three and NEVER EVER four games. I think Sons of the Morning is extremely eager to finally show what they can accomplish. They will probably go a long way with the right focus.

Laser HT - Company of Geeks (Company of Geeks wins)
My wonderful Geeks receives Laser HT - A very competent team. Heavy forwards with a flair for goals. But I'll be honest, I'm not particularly worried about Laser HT. They have a intense pace in their game, but lacks the huge hockey sense that Company of Geeks breathes. That and our experience is in our favor. However, I would like to point out that it is extremely important that Geeks are clear about who should play and not play and find that perfect structure and balance a team needs to go far in a tournament of this sort. Especially important also since geeks have signed a lot of new talanted members. If Geeks can succed in this department I do BELIEVE that Jesus .... ehh Geeks can win the whole thing. But first we have to get to the quarterfinals. 4-2 in games this series is a good start.

 

 

Drunken Rebels - Cosa Nostra (Cosa Nostra wins)
Two absolutely wonderful teams. Dare we hope for a live stream? I suspect that this series will offer quality entertainment and brake all kinds of pay-per-view records. Drunken Rebels is a solid team. But they lack a bit of edge. Cosa Nostra has gamewinners at litterary every position. Bait and haxxon, just to mention two excellent examples. And Foppatoffla is always competent in his game. However, Poco in net is a small question mark? He is one of the best goalies of all time, but have been rather uneven during this game.  Will he stand for the pressure? If he do, Cosa Nostra is a team to recon with in this tournament. Will either way, be an interesting match-up to follow!


Northern Stars - HC Redballs (Northern Stars wins)
Northern Stars wins. Pretty simple. Floorbandyking seems to be back. RedBalls is a talented team. However, my feeling is that they still lack the mental capacity required to knock out the champions that is Northern stars. But who blames them? Quite a tough storm to rid out for any team, and even with the perfect chemistry and state of mind, its still a high fucking mountain to climb. But, to play against Northern Stars in EHL playoffs is always an opportunity to make history since they have never lost a series. That is quite inspiring if you think about it. So go for it RedBalls ... but yeah ... Northern Stars will probably prevail!

 

 

Skugskugan - Red Light Zone (Skugskugan wins)
I think the Red Light Zone will invite Skugskugan to dance. They have an arsenal of dedicated finns in their squad and has the ability to get some serious momentum (not the engine LOL) on their side. Something that should not be underestimated. But the logical choice falls on Skukstugan still, partly because they seemed to have found peace and harmony in the team. However, the fact that PajenC is excluded from the team is a huge setback. Especially later on in the playoffs. But yes ... quarterfinals is posible even without PajenC.

 

 

 

 

Baltic Sea Eagles - Birka Vikings (Baltic Sea Eagles wins)
Baltic Sea Eagles scored most goals of all in the group stage and has impressed from the start with their massive production credits. Mike Honkanen is particularly lethal. He reminds me of tbnantti anno NHL 12! BSE lacks a little defensive stability and will suffer for it. But I do not believe that Birka will be the team that does that. They will score some goals, but they will still not be able to keep Baltic Sea Eagles from being 1-goal a head in every game. Will be a tough and rough series, but BSE will win becuase the exemplify a more modern style of play.

 

 

So yes ... what do you think? Is it a sure 8/8? I think so!
