NHLGamers,
Many - including our writing crew in our Finals Preview - doubted FILADEPHIA’s chances tonight after witnessing hREDS’s dominating performance in the ECL 12 Elite Finals a couple months ago. But FILADELPHIA would not budge, and successfully defended their Finnish Championship title with an overwhelming performance.
Despite the finals ending in a sweep, the games were very even with game 1 being decided in overtime and the decisive game 3 seeing a game winning goal in the dying minutes of the game.
Game 1: hREDS - FILADELPHIA 1-2 OT
Game 2: FILADELPHIA - hREDS 4-1
Game 3: hREDS - FILADELPHIA 1-2
