Are we voting on this or simulating it or...?

 

[seventieslord]

voting, I assume...

why would we vote on the first two rounds and then simulate the finals?

 

[MadArcand]

Dunno. Just that no one was saying anything.

 

[seventieslord]

Oh. Haha... yeah, I have to get on this pretty soon here.

 

[VanIslander]

The Whalers have a potent powerplay and a playoff goaltending edge.
The Shieks have a higher potential offense (two question marks at left wing) and better penalty killers.

Another close series that could go either way.

 

[Hedberg]

Sorry, I wasn't on this weekend and forgot to administer the voting process (although probably would have been slow anyway). I'll get that going tonight, hopefully with the results tomorrow.

 

[Hedberg]

The New England Whalers are the AA Champions! They defeat the Saskatoon Shieks in 7 games

Congratulations MadArcand

Three stars:
1. Guy Hebert

[MadArcand]

Thanks, gotta say I'm surprised considering the regular season rankings. Still, it's awesome to win something.

 

[seventieslord]

not surprised at all. the teams were all very close, for reasons I've described a few times in the past. Good job Hartford. I wish we made a a series out of it, though. I was too obsessed with the next level of players. Didn't even know we were getting to voting time.
