Strong finish for the Musketeers in regular season and the Moosejaw Oilers take it home!
This season was very competitive in the Eastern Conference that buried the West all season long. The two strongest teams early not surprisingly, had the most weekly total point wins. The Musketeers won 15 weeks and the Riverrats won 10 weeks.
The Musketeers were powered by the almost 4 PPG performance of Zach Werenski and the 3.5 PPG of Filip Forsberg and all together they hasd 12 triple point getters on the team for the season. The Riverrats had the rising superstar Brady Tkachuk with 3.5 PPG and Tom Wilson at just over 3 PPG and comparitivly had 10 triple point getters. In the last couple of weeks of the regular season the River rats rattled off 2 weekly wins and almost caught the Musketeers, finishing a mere 27 points behind the leader.
Of the remining top 5 finishers the Muddogs won 8 weeks, the gateways 10 weeks and the Cobras 6 weeks. the Muddogs got great performances from Mark Scheifele, Auston Matthews and Nick Suzuki. The Gateways had Rasmus Dahlin, Nazem Kadri and Brayden Schenn, while the Cobras had Sam Reinhart, Adrian Kempe and Kiefer Sherwood. The Cobras got into injury trouble with Elias Pettersson performing well under expected for the season or could have done better.
The plauyoffs have been interesting to say the least and much due to uncharitaristic performances in the first and secon rounds. For the west 1, 2, 3, 5 made it to the second round and for the east 5, 6, 7, 8 for the east, clearly not what was expected. As we find ourselves in the final with have the #2 in the west taking on the #8 in the east. Probably not going as one would expect, but the Oilers (no pun intended) are beating down the Generals. Not going to say that is over but....
Once we have completed the entire season and handed the cash out I will be looking for commitments for next season so that we cna get an earlyu srat on recuriting, Have a couple of interested parties so far so don't want to leave them hanging too long. People get busy with "other stuff" in the summer and hockey (no shockingly) usually takes a back seat for most until September.
Congrats to the Moosejaw Oilers in a convincing playoff win handily finishing off the Atlantic City Generals!
Looking forward to a new season, lots of adjustments at least for me with my roles and responsibilities shrinking a bit. What the heck, change is good!
