HC Wild Hogs through to semis — Clowns On Ice on the verge of an upset  Quarterfinal drama unfolds — who will book the remaining semifinal spots? The quarterfinal stage is heating up. HC Wild Hogs are the first team to punch their ticket to the semifinals. Clowns On Ice are one win away from eliminating title favorites Chlastpumpy. Meanwhile, Fladie Faxes are preparing for a battle with the hard-hitting Sunburst Howlers, and Tibro HC will soon take on the mighty Personal Rainerit. The group stage gave us a preview: Personal Rainerit went unbeaten in regulation. Fladie Faxes were clinical. Chlastpumpy scored for fun. But the playoffs are where the real action happens, and surprises are already shaking the bracket.    Personal Rainerit (1) vs Tibro HC (21)  Not started Personal Rainerit were unstoppable in the group stage: 146 goals scored, just 28 conceded, and 10 straight wins entering the playoffs. Their attack is led by @jooheippa (ttskede) (41 points, 24 goals in 6 Playoff games), supported by @Elop-_-, @hhugobbrann , @Mallu_Poskessa (Maltseviii), and @Veljenpoika69. They also posted an impressive 60.17 % faceoff win rate and 36.11 % powerplay success. Tibro HC have been punching above their weight, driven by @melwin (Murvel-Swee) (24 pts), @Williamssk (Twitch_wannika), @Zonkji v, and goalie @KFC Melker, who sports an 82.72 % save percentage. They could steal a game — but Rainerit are too deep over a best-of-5. 👉 Prediction: Personal Rainerit 3–1.    Chlastpumpy (2) vs Clowns On Ice (11)  Current score: Clowns On Ice lead 2–0 This is the story of the playoffs so far. Clowns On Ice have stunned everyone by taking a 2–0 lead over heavily favored Chlastpumpy. @Pathen-21- (22 pts) and @PaddyD1412 (21 pts) are driving the offense, while goalie @Christoph Kugler (kuglach) has been lights out with a 89.13 % save percentage and 1.67 GAA. Chlastpumpy led the group stage in wins and scored 86 goals in 16 games. @sushiiik (29 pts), @Tadik16 (23 pts), and their 18.52 % powerplay can still turn it around. But they now need three straight wins — a tall order. 👉 Prediction: Clowns On Ice to finish it in game 4 (3–1).    Fladie Faxes (3) vs Sunburst Howlers (8)  Not started One of the most anticipated series. Fladie Faxes bring both offensive depth and defensive structure. They boast a lethal 25.93 % powerplay, led by @Snoop Frog (Lypsaaja6365) (26 pts), @SoldatUgglan, @Dan9105, and goalie @Padde Kaic (Elvira123) who owns an insane 89.66 % save % and 0.5 GAA. Sunburst Howlers are the most physical team left — 330 hits in the group stage. Their top guns @Ederby88 (24 pts), @Martin 82 (Kvarting666), and @Jocke_Gulsvart will test the Fladie defense. They also have a rock-solid 93.75 % PK. 👉 Prediction: Fladie Faxes in 5 games (3–2).    HC Wild Hogs (5) vs Kasanovat (7)  Final score: HC Wild Hogs win 3–1 HC Wild Hogs booked their semifinal spot with a convincing 3–1 series win. Their offense is led by the trio of @zheka-ekb (44 pts), @Max14 no_tactic_ (43 pts), and @NotChillyO (35 pts). Their 31.82 % PP was among the best. Kasanovat had a fantastic season.
