Reality Check vs Växjö Lakers 
(2)
Both of these teams are coming into the finals off of very similar campaigns, and to no one's surprise, these two are the teams that managed to dominate their respective groups in the regular season too. While Växjö had a very disappointing Winter season and are now proving themselves in an incredible bounce back effort, Reality Check is heading to the finals for the second time in a row. They've been a fringe Elite team for a very long time, and maybe this is going to be their turn to shine?
Reality Check is 12-1-1 thus far in the playoffs and they've been in very convincing form throughout. Most of their games have been rather tight and we've seen several one goal differentials, but the main thing for this team is that they seem to be able to turn almost every game in their favor in one way or another. Usually this entails stringing together solid decisions and managing to limit high danger scoring chances for the opposition, which also statistics support for this team. They've been excellent throughout their lineup and their goaltender @FINSeRe has been a beast. The team has allowed a bit over 9 shots per game against and the goalie stops pucks at a rate of 86,05%, which surely indicates that opponents will have a rough go scoring against this squad.
Just like Reality Check, Växjö Lakers have been very impressive all season without too much of a slip-up at any point. The fact that their forward trio @Kattenj, @Birkedal96 alnd @dzouvi are topping the scoring statistics between the tree of them is a pure show of their scoring power and the dominance they've been able to exhibit thus far in the playoffs especially. Due to their high offensive drive, Växjö Lakers is also a bit more probable to allow more shots, and they've been fine with that since they've been able to trust their goaltending and match the scoring whenever needed. Regardless of who will take this series in the end, it's guaranteed we'll see a great fight and some fireworks in the series coming up.
Prediction: Reality Check wins 4-3
