SportsGamers,
We've entered the Playoff stage of the 2022 eHockey Finnish Championships and with that, it's also time for #1 seed and invitee FILADELPHIA to take the ice for the first time in the tournament. They'll have the favorable position of facing off against the 64th seed Tampere Taisto, which should be a soft entry for them into the eHSM action.
All in all, it was a rather exciting group stage once again with most of the favorites marching through with ease, while others had to fight harder for their postseason push. One of the most exciting surprises in the group stage must be Setelit On Ice, who made a comeback just before the tournament started and ended up grabbing the #1 spot in their group ahead of other established outfits, such as Roots Gaming, GHETTO FIREBIRDS and GIFU Hockey.
Nemesis is another squad that managed to squeak by some great teams to clinch that #1 spot in their group, putting them in a great position for the playoffs, whereas the likes of Golden Nights and Valco finished a bit lower than they perhaps would have wanted.
The toughest race to the finish line was seen in group 2, where three teams ended up going for the tiebreakers for the 2nd place finish. Be a Bro, Kouvola Screaming Eagles and Gunners HC all finished with 22 points even, had 11 wins each and split points between the three of them in the group stage, so the eventual tiebreaker ended up being goal differential.
The first round of the playoffs (BO5) is to be played between Sunday, 4th of September and Tuesday, 6th of September.
