THE BEST OF THE BEST....................ARE ALL THAT'S LEFT!!
Well the competition has been whittled down to the 4 best teams. Not just the 4 best remaining, but the 4 highest scoring teams from the regular season also. For the vanquished that may mean something but not to these folks. The Crushers led the league in scoring during the regular season with 14,645 points but have actually been outscored 8440 to 8367 by their next opponent the SAS Strikers in the playoffs so far. The Wood Choppers were the second highest scoring team during the regular season with 14,206 points but they too have been outscored by their next opponent the Superstars 8583 to 7860 during the playoffs.
Now for a history lesson. The Strikers are the returning champions from last winter and the Superstars (then known as the Steelers) were an Elite 8 round team. The Crushers and the Wood Choppers are both new entries to the league and WOW did they make their presence known. So we have 2 cases of Old vs New or Experience vs Upstart, however you want to look at it.
Now lets throw another twist in there. The Strikers didn't even finish 1st in their conference. They came in second to the Wood Choppers BUT they won their match against them. Both were part of conference 12 which was the toughest conference to be a part of. In large part because of these 2 battlers. I'm not sure which one will have a bigger chip on their shoulder should they both advance to the final.
The Crushers and Superstars have other ideas though. Their numbers have been impressive as they dominated their competition in the regular season and the playoffs. Both are forces that need to be reckoned with.
Who will come out on top and advance to the championship? Stay Tuned..................
Best of Luck to all 4 teams.
