It's round two of the remaining playoffs and the results are looking good, unless you're a Rangers or Frontenacs fan. In our first playoff prospect battle Bracco is down 2-0 to Marner/Piccinich. Still plenty of time to come back. Desrocher and the Fronts however, are down 3-0 to my IceDogs, shocking everyone who was looking at this series going 6 or 7 games, eventually in the Fronts favour.
In the Q Both our teams are tied 1-1 in their series and in the SHL Andreas Johnson and Frolunda are one win away from the SHL final.
