NHLGamers, Just under a month, and 18 games later, and we are ready to preview the ECL 11 Neo Playoffs. Those of you who have read the mid-season reports are aware that we had a lot of tight battles at the top of the groups, and some of them really did come down to the wire, with tie breakers necessary in several groups. With this being said, this playoff review will cover the 10 playoff games involving the group winners. A note regarding League Administration actions taken in order to finish the ECL 11 Neo season: We have removed teams that were unable to finish the season with more than 4 WO's. We understand that both removing the teams and keeping the teams with WO's have their caveats. The system isn't perfect and we will be looking at ways to improve it and - most importantly - make it a more clear and transparent process for the coming seasons. Please share any thoughts on how you think it should work below or by contacting Support. For those unfamiliar with the format of the playoffs, 64 teams will enter; The top 6 from each group, alongside the 4 highest placed teams that did not make the cut. In the first round, the best of 5 series must take place between 14.12 – 20.12, with the winners progressing to the round of 32 after Christmas. Here is a full list of the playoff matchups in round 1. Now that the technicalities are out the way, let’s delve into the top playoff games: Rahinakaukalo vs Taskubilis One of the few predictions that turned out to be correct in the mid-season report was that Rahinakaukalo would go unbeaten. The number 1 seeds enter the playoffs with 18 wins from 18, and with the best defence having conceded the lowest number of goals in Neo. Despite their imperious record, they don’t have a single representative in Neo’s top 20 point scorers, which suggests that their team first attitude is not limited solely to their cohesion on defence. Taskubilis are the number 64 seeds this year. Despite missing out through the top 6, Taskubilis have the highest number of goals scored out of the 4 additional teams and won 3 of their last 4 games to secure the final playoff spot. It is a very difficult ask for Taskubilis, and it will prove difficult for them to spend a lot of time in the opposition offensive zone against a team that like to keep the puck, anything good they can do will come from their Talisman forward @Jalitmane10. Up against the lowest rank seed, expect Rahinakaukalo to continue their impressive form. Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/rahinakaukalo/ Uknighted HC vs Kiekkonorpat From the best defence in Neo, to the best offence in Neo. Another team that held out from the mid-season report, Uknighted HC top their group, averaging 6.72 goals per game on their way to the top. Four blowout games where the knights put up more than 12 goals on the opposition shows they don’t take their foot off the gas even when the game is won. The Knights also sport the number 7 best skater by points in @Flo_Lomp and the number 3 defensemen in @Nr-0847, who holds the highest assists in Neo for defencemen. Kiekkonorpat left it very late to mount their playoff push, 4 wins in their last 6 games, and a point in their penultimate game by taking Norrland to OT proved to be enough to take them to the promised land. It’s a tough draw for the 63 seeds, they haven’t been blown out since early in the season, and while they do score goals, their trouble has still been keeping the goals out. With the best offence and the best playmaking D-man in the league, it’s difficult to bet against the Knights firing their way into the next round. Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/ukn_tv Rostedtin Jetit vs HC Poteropojat In a tightly contested Group 1 win. Rostedtin Jetit had to watch as closest rivals Reign attempted to overhaul a 30-goal differential against bottom of the table Polish Patriots to win the group. Reign fell short however, and the Jets held out. The Jets are led by experience captain @rGinnu who is no stranger to the ECL scene. Previous appearances in Elite and eSHL have served him well as he holds a comfortable lead at the top of the Neo stats table (63+35=98). It might be top opposition that they are facing but HC Poteropojat had a nasty habit of taking their group games to OT. They don’t score many goals, but for a team that qualified from outside the top 6, they don’t concede too many either. They have a very reliable goalie in @Mikse94 and Poteropojat lost every game where he was absent in net. With that said, it is difficult to see where how they are going to trouble Rostedtin Jetit offensively. Expect one way traffic toward Poteropojat’s goal. Deggendorfer SC Esports vs Remparts Tours eSports 2 Talking of good goalies, Deggendorfer will have Neo’s number 1 ranked goalie on the ice for their game against Remparts in @Zefix. To continue with this stat led preview, they also will be icing the number 4 Skater in @blechi12 and two defensemen from the top 10 in @Johannes.Helmbrecht and @Jules. The German side go into this game as hot favourites, having lost just 1 game in their last ten. With the 1 loss being a dead rubber encounter in their final group game. For Remparts, it will be a big ask. After some close encounters early in the season, the French side made it their mission to either win by a big margin or lose by a big margin. They are a physical side and are one of Neo’s top teams in hits. Getting physical and hoping to disrupt Deggendorfer’s offence might be their best bet if they want to get out of the first round. Vemppaosasto vs HC Northmen Despite losing 3 of their first 4 games of the season. Vemppaosasto went on an excellent 12 game winning streak to win Group 9. In a battle between the Finnish sides silky brand of hockey vs Dynamo Dragons more direct approach of throwing the puck on net at every opportunity, Vemppaosasto took the group by a single point. HC Northmen are the lowest of the Top 6 Group qualifiers with the 60th seed. The key to their success has been Powerplay goals, with a 46% conversion rate, impressive for a team lower down in the group table. Unfortunately for them, Vemppaosasto boast one of Neo’s best PK units. With a 94% success rate during box play, and they don’t give up many penalties either. Vemppaosasto are on the lower end of the goals scored table for Group winners, so there is always some hope for the underdogs, but not too much. Pinaattikone vs Million Plus Pinaattikone won Group 2 by winning their final two group games in OT, so the winning mindset is certainly there to match their ability. In a group with many other contenders for the top, Pinaattikone ground out win after win in the race for a top seeding spot in the playoffs. Furthermore, having iced just 6 players all season, they have one of the most cohesive units in Neo. Million Plus go into the playoffs in terrible form. They have lost their last 4 games, 2 of which were against the bottom team in the Group. They do tend to save their better performances for games against better teams and picked up wins early in the season against some of their groups top sides. They need to shore up on defence in this tie after averaging 4 goals conceded a game in the last 6 matches. They go up against a Pinaattikone side who will relish the chance to show their scoring prowess. Finnish Finishers vs Enkopings SK HK eSPORT The Finishers have the Top Scoring Defensemen in Neo in @MoisionMessier and he will look to continue his scoring record into the playoffs against Enkopings. The Finishers took the Group despite losing in their final fixture after challengers EHC TATNEFT AK BARS collapsed in their final game against X6tence Hockey. Another strength of the Finnish Finishers is in Net, a strong Group stage showing was rounded up by a standout performance by @ollihmollih in the penultimate game of the group. A game which ultimately gave the Finishers the group win. Enkopings enter the playoffs after an inconsistent performance in Group 9, unable to string more than 3 wins in a row all season, a 2nd period rally took them to OT against the aforementioned Vemppaosasto, and that was enough to take them to playoffs at the expense of EASHL Russia. Defensive struggles have been the problem for Enkopings, they have chopped and changed goalies in an effort to fix their GA, but to little avail. Not great news when you play the league’s top scoring Dman… SCB eSports vs EHC Traktor Chelyabinsk SCB eSports appeared to take it personally when I suggested in the mid-season report that they were happy to be a mid-table playoff side and responded by firing themselves into a three-way tie breaker at the top of Group 4 with Hannover and Ultimatum. The Swiss side were big scorers in their group and will take the same high-octane offence into this playoff encounter. Chelyabinsk enters the playoffs from Group 6 in one of the closest playoff races, with their 2 wins over HC Poteropojat, and a surprise win over Latvian Warriors in the run in, being enough to guarantee them Playoff hockey. For a playoff side, they took a lot of penalties, with more than a third of their total PIM’s coming from a single player. With an average PK unit, and with a dangerous opposition in SCB, the Russians need to keep everyone on the ice to have any chance of victory in this one. Latvian Warriors vs 3TUNA le Sport A very interesting playoff fixture here, Latvian Warriors enter the playoffs as the least in form Group leader. Two losses in their final two group games didn’t give them the best of endings to the regular season. Also, going to OT was the theme of their season and they won just 3 of their 6 OT games. With this said, they are still group winners and have some excellent defence to thank for this. They have conceded just 28 goals all season and the Warriors played in 13 games separated by just one goal. They have a top 10 goalie and the ability to wear teams down by taking them all the way. 3Tuna also enter the playoffs in poor form. A good start to the season was soon forgotten as they crashed to two defeats, one in OT, against playoff hunting rivals Kiekkonorpat, they followed this up with two losses against the number 1 seed Rihinakaukalo which almost saw them slide out the playoffs. Strangely however, they still enter the playoffs having scored more goals than the Latvian Warriors, I don’t understand it either but there we have it. This will be a really interesting one, one of the league’s best defence vs a leaky defence, the leagues poorest group winning offence vs a mid-table offence. Keep an eye on this matchup for sure. Goosebumps vs Ettan IK Goosebumps won Group 3 in a four-way tie breaker, after one of the closest fought groups in Neo history. They boast a top 5 offence in neo after putting up 103 goals in the regular season and despite this only had one skater in the top 20 points scorers, @Nagneigel. Goosebumps have points coming from all over the ice with three other skaters also putting up over 40 points for the regular season. They don’t seem too bothered about defending, and why would you when you spend so much time in the oppositions zone. Ettan are not a bad side either though. They took 20 points in group 10, a tally that would have seen them much higher placed in a few other Neo groups. They gave group winners Deggendorfer a scare early in the season and seem to have only gotten better since their early season defeats. They lost only narrowly to the other challengers in Group 10 so do not rule Ettan out of this one. If they can frustrate Goosebumps on offense then this tie is up for grabs, with that said, I am not sure if you can bet against a team that managed to win Group 3. Congratulations on qualification and best of luck to all Neo teams! See you in round 2!

NHLGamers, Welcome to the 2nd half of the ECL11 Neo mid-season report where we’ll look at Groups 6 through 10. Let’s get back to it, shall we! Group 6 Group 6 looks to have a clear winner already, with Latvian Warriors cruising in to a comfortable 5 point lead over nearest challengers Bone Breakers, who they won both games against earlier in the season. MOGA and EHC Traktor Chelyabinsk sit behind in 3rd in 4th place, but the playoff battle in the group remains wide open. Only 7 points separates MOGA, EHC Traktor Chelyabinsk, HC Poteropojat, Nordic Eagles, Etuna Eagles, Acta Non Verba and Aina Pystyy, with some of the lower placed in these teams already averaging a higher points per game average than the teams above them, with several games in hand over their rivals. Etuna Eagles will battle this week with Acta Non Verba, and Nordic eagles, the teams above and below them, in what will shape a fascinating playoff race in group 6. With the games coming thick and fast for these sides, the playoff race in group 6 could end with as little as 2 points between 7 teams. SC Rackelhahn eV, who sit bottom of the group with just a point will also play key games vs Bone Breakers and MOGA. While Rackelhahn can no longer qualify for the playoffs, their solitary win came in OT vs the Group leading Latvian Warriors, in their most recent round of games and they will take confidence from this going into the end of their season. Key team stats Most points per game: Latvian Warriors (1.8) Most goals per game: Latvian Warriors (3.08) Least goals against per game: Latvian Warriors (1.42) Best power play: SC Rackelhahn eV (40%) Best penalty kill: MOGA (91.67) Group 7 UKnighted HC hold a comfortable lead in Group 7 at the midway point. With just 1 loss to their names this season, and holding two wins over nearest rivals IHL Rams, they certainly hold advantage in the group. The most likely side to cause them problems is Masiina. Who also hold one loss, but winning their 2 extra games will leave them tied at the top of Group 7, with UKnighted and Masiina to meet in the final round of fixtures, neither side can afford to slip up in their remaining games. Elsewhere in the top half of the group, Karhukissat are sitting pretty in 4th place but 3 losses at this early stage may have already turned their table topping dreams into a damp squib. In the playoff battle, Ballbusters HC and Gleumes Hockey Krefeld occupy the final playoff spots, holding a considerable points advantage over the teams below them. In 7th place, most likely playoff spot challengers IHL Royals can still look to spring a surprise and overtake Krefeld but it will prove a difficult challenge. Games against HC Ice Time, Russian Ghouls, and leaders Uknighted leaves the Royals needing a minimum of 6 points prior to their last round of games which sees them play against Krefeld. At the bottom, Czech side The Hockey Crew, have disappointed this season. Holding just a single win over fellow strugglers Russian Ghouls. HC Ice Time also sit outside the playoff race, with their defensive struggles being the cause of their woes, as their offence has been effective despite their league position. Key team stats Most points per game: UKnighted HC (1.83) Most goals per game: UKnighted HC (8) Least goals against per game: UKnighted HC (1.17) Best power play: UKnighted HC (44.74%) Best penalty kill: UKnighted HC (89.47%) Group 8 A top of the table encounter tonight between EHC Tatneft AK Bars and the Finnish Finishers may well decide the winners of the group if either side can take the 4 points on offer in regulation, be sure to keep an eye out on twitch for these games! The Russians, who hold a 3-point advantage going into tonight’s games will see this as an opportunity to put the Group out of sight if they can put the Finishers away early. In the playoff spots, it remains extremely tight. BackDoorLoosters hold 3 points over their group rivals but just a single point separates x6tence Hockey, HC Palosaari and Team Czechoslavakia and French side Remparts Tours Esport 2. These sides all play each other in the coming week in what is the most cutthroat playoff race in ECL Neo this season. As Spain’s solitary representatives in ECL, x6tence will be hoping they can carry the flag into the playoffs but face a tough schedule to allow this to happen. At the bottom, Swiss Seniors, HC Korobka and French Rookies are all well out of the playoff race. The Rookies sit bottom of the group but and face Korobka tonight in battle to move off the bottom. For the Seniors, while the playoffs are gone, their remaining games against Finishers and Palosaari gives them a huge chance to affect the final group standings should they pull off a shock. Key team stats Most points per game: EHC Tatneft AK Bars (1.71) Most goals per game: EHC Tatneft AK Bars (6.71) Least goals against per game: Finnish Finishers (1.92) Best power play: Finnish Finishers (41.67%) Best penalty kill: EHC Tatneft AK Bars (100%) Group 9 Group 9 sees both a 3 team race for Group winner and a 6 team race for the playoffs. At the top, Vemppaosasto sit with a 3 point lead over Dynamo Dragons. Vemppaosasto however have the benefit of games against strugglers Epinal HC Esport and playoff challengers Uudenmaan Oilers to round of their race for the top. Dynamo Dragons face fellow Challengers The Real Rookies in the final round of fixtures however. The Rookies are the most physical side in Neo this season, racking up 296 hits so far this season. Herforder Ice Dragons debut season sees them hold a comfortable lead over the other playoff challengers. Just three points separates the next four teams, Enkopings SK HK eSport, Uudenmaan Oilers, EASHL Russian, and Motherfreakerz. Of these 4, Motherfreakerz hold the advantage in scheduling with 2 games to play against bottom side Karvanakit, maximum points here followed by a huge match this week vs the Oilers would see them sneak into the playoffs for the first time in 4 attempts. Karvanakits position in the table could be false however, as they are yet to play three of the four teams that lie directly above them, and while wins in all six of these games is unlikely, it would still be enough to pull them in to the playoff race also. Key team stats Most points per game: Vemppaosasto (1.71) Most goals per game: Vemppaosasto (4.64) Least goals against per game: Dynamo Dragons (1.5) Best power play: Dynamo Dragons (43.48%) Best penalty kill: Vemppaosasto (94.12%) Group 10 Group 10 sees possibly the strangest table in ECL Neo. With the race for the top underway, All, 6 teams in the playoff spots can still win the Group. Due to this, all 6 teams sit at least 8 points clear of the teams outside the playoffs, having played the same number of games, or less. Outside the playoff places, both Swiss Tigers, EHC Ice breakers sit tied at the bottom with just one win each. Annecy Hockey eSport, sit above in 8th but need 6 wins from their final 6 to mount a very unlikely playoff challenge. Taskubulis in 7th need the same. At the top, a 2nd game loss for EHC Amur against Annecy leaves them also needing straight wins to secure the group, despite having beat nearest challengers Monkey Brotherhood twice earlier in the group. With the Brotherhood unlikely to slip up tonight against Ice Breakers, it’s all to play for in the top 2. Ettan IK play both teams in the deciding week of fixtures and will want to prove that they can also challenge the top teams, with just 4 points separating them from the top its everything to play for Ettan. For Wisby Islanders this week, they will look to right things on offence as their 15 minutes on attack against Deggendorfer SC eSports mustered them just 3 goals, and zero wins. Key team stats Most points per game: EHC Amur (1.67) Most goals per game: EHC Amur (5.92) Least goals against per game: Wisby Islanders (2.33) Best power play: EHC Amur (60.61%) Best penalty kill: Biggie Stockholm (90.91%) With that, we conclude this second part of our ECL 11 Neo mid-season report. The last half of the season is already underway and now is the time to rack up those extremely important points, we wish all teams good luck in the pursuit of those last playoff spots!

NHLGamers, Welcome to the first half of the ECL Neo mid-season report. As things begin to heat up in the race for the playoffs, we will take a look at the at the teams leading the race in pursuit of Group glory, the teams chasing those elusive final playoff spots, and the teams at the bottom looking to cause problems. Let's get on with the good stuff: Situations may have changed since the writing of this article - the article was written on 3.12.2020. Group 1 We begin with EV Duisburg and Reign who sit tied with 18 points each at the top of the group. Reign, however, hold two games over their rivals at the top. Reign will have their work cut out as they look to create an assured lead at the top of Group 1, they play their two fixtures in hand this Saturday evening against ambitious Piukat Paikat who sit just below them in third place, albeit with four more fixtures played. Both Reign and Duisburg then have a huge night this Sunday as they hold double headers. Duisburg play Eskilstuna Snake at 20:00 CET, and Reign face Black Wings HC, before the two meet each other in what could be a winner takes all encounter at 21:00 CET. In mid table, Rostedtin Jetit could remain the surprise package of the group. An incredibly tough early schedule has seen them face all the teams above them already, losing just twice. They finish the season with games against teams in the bottom 3 of the group, but fixtures with Black Wings and Northmen before this stretch could see their group topping dreams diminish. Northmen’s debut season in the ECL has been successful so far, with a staggering 72% powerplay success rate being the key to their success, but an opening day OT loss against Black Wings could come back to haunt them. In the race for the final playoff spot, Black Wings sit in 6th place with a comfortable three-point lead over nearest challengers, Alpenforcer. With a game in hand, they will look to extend this lead further. Eskilstuna Snake are the only team outside the playoff spots with a real chance to make up their point deficit, but 4 wins in a row for a team who have only won 2 games all season may be too much to ask. At the bottom, Polish Patriots have lost by 11 goals four times this season and will be hoping that they can recover some pride before the end of the season. Key team stats Most points per game: Reign (1,8) Most goals per game: Piukat Paikat (4.71) Least goals against per game: EV Duisburg (1.5) Best power play: HC Northmen (72.73%) Best penalty kill: Alpenforcer (89.29%) Group 2 It’s tight at the top of group two as 5th Line Heroes, Aladinit, Pinaattikone and Bauer Rangers GmbH battle it out for Group winners. With no team in these four having lost more than two games in regulation, it boils down to a number of big fixtures between the teams in the closing gamedays. Pinaattikone will face all three of their rivals in their final 6 games, meaning they are the only team in the group that control their own destiny: win all 6 in regulation and they will win the group, lose one and it all gets very complicated! In mid table, Mora IK eSport should have done enough to secure their playoff spot considering the struggles of the teams below them. While their tough finishing schedule contains group challengers Bauer and Aladinit, they have a fixture against group whipping boys Valhalla Riddare HC which should give them the 4 points needed to guarantee their progress. Occupying the final playoff spot is HC PyllistyS. They must defeat Redlight Jokers this Sunday to secure their own progress. Redlight, who also control their own fate, must win both games vs PyllistyS in regulation to give themselves hope of progressing before facing fellow playoff hopefuls Iserlohn Roosters and finally, Valhalla Riddare. Pirate Esports must also hope for a Jokers win vs PyllistyS, as they face the challenge of a penultimate game vs 5th Line Jokers before concluding their season against PyllistyS. For Valhalla it has been a debut season to forget. 11 games, 11 losses. Nevertheless, they hold they hold the key to other team’s playoff fates in their hands and will look to throw a spanner in the works before the end. Key team stats Most points per game: 5th Line Heroes (1.75) Most goals per game: 5th Line Heroes (5.08) Least goals against per game: Bauer Rangers GmbH (1.4) Best power play: Aladinit (21.05%) Best penalty kill: 5th Line Heroes (97.44%) Group 3 Group 3 is the most cut and dry group in the division. Electric-paced newcomers Fila De La HC have raced to the top of Group 3 and are yet to lose in regulation. Their final fixtures against fellow challengers Sesku Patversme and the always dangerous Russian Lightning give Fila the chance to win the group outright having never lost a match in 60 minutes. A stat that would mark them out as extremely dangerous opposition for any potential playoff opponents. Sesku Patversme could still upset their party however, a double victory over Fila, combined with wins over third place Sawolanche, and some help from Russian Lightning in their fixtures over Fila gives them a chance of upsetting the odds. In the middle of the pack, NHLgang and Goosebumps look clear favourites for the final playoff positions. UnknownHeroes sit just outside the playoff spots and will look to overhaul NHLgangs points advantage. With this said, their inability to defeat the Gang in the last round of fixtures leaves their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. Particularly with NHLgang still to face the 0-10 Galaxy Huskies. At the bottom of the group, Galaxy Huskies prop up the table, but close out the season with fixtures against fellow strugglers OilBarons and Tango Delirium which gives all three teams a chance to avoid last place in the group and the dreaded wooden spoon. Key team stats Most points per game: Fila De La HC (1.86) Most goals per game: Sesku Patversme (6.58) Least goals against per game: Sesku Patversme (1.25) Best power play: Sesku Patversme (26.09%) Best penalty kill: NHLgang (100%) Group 4 At the top of Group 4 Ultimatum are also unbeaten so far this season in regulation, racking up a frightening average of 7.5 goals per game on their journey to the top. Hannover Indians eSports look to be the only team left in the group that can challenge Ultimatum, with the two teams set to meet this Sunday in a top of the table encounter. Packing out the rest of the playoff spots are Million Plus, EHC Basel eSports, SCB eSports. With Fearless Knights holding on to the final play-off spot, their fixture with 7th placed HC Sokol Moscow this Sunday could be a knockout blow for the Moscow side should they fail to take all 4 points on offer against the Knights. Given that they entertain Group leaders Ultimatum and challengers Hannover prior to the season’s conclusion, 4 points is a must for the Men from Moscow. The two Swiss sides Basel and Bern have enjoyed strong debut seasons, and with their Points per game positions will both enjoy pressure free games vs Ultimatum before the close of group play as they seek to send out a playoff warning to potential rivals in the next round. 3rd place Million Plus, with their low points per game average, will also be watching this weekends fixtures with a bit more anxiety as they seek to avoid being pulled into a playoff spot struggle. Legion of Doom, who sit dead last in Group 4, having been crushed 19-1 by Ultimatum in Season 11’s biggest margin of defeat, entertain fellow strugglers Puliveivarit and HC Porokeisarit. These 3 teams may look at these encounters as a way to build a winning mentality in competitive 6’s before their return to ordinary play. Key team stats Most points per game: Ultimatum (1.89) Most goals per game: Ultimatum (7.56) Least goals against per game: Ultimatum (2) Best power play: Ultimatum (48.28%) Best penalty kill: Ultimatum (100%) Group 5 ‘It’s lonely at the top, but the view is nice.’ - Rahinakaukalo. Finnish club Rahinakaukalo have utterly dominated Group 5. 12 played, 12 wins and 15 goals conceded in the process. They have defeated 2nd place Norrland twice this season, and face 3rd place Dead Evil on Sunday. You would be hard pressed to find someone willing to bet against them winning 18 straight, they have been that dominant. Norrland and Dead Evil also look secure in their playoff qualification and it would take a monumental collapse by both teams to see them enter the playoff battle. In 4th place, 3Tuna Le Sport are being led to a fine season by Captain TableHockey, and despite some last-minute roster changes prior to the season puck drop, they have looked convincing. Tough single goal losses to Norrland in the last round of fixtures were a sore blow to the Swedes, but they do not look like slowing down in their playoff pursuit. Team Rocket, Yellow Jackets and KulmalaHengaus will battle it out for the final playoff sport, with less than 3 points separating these teams with 6 fixtures remaining, it’s going to be a no holds barred battle in the Group 5 playoff hunt. KulmalaHengaus hold the advantage in the pursuit for the playoffs, facing both Yellow Jackets and Team Rocket in their remaining fixtures. Full points from these games would place them in the playoff spots going into the final fixture round. At the bottom HC Lachen’s troubles continue, they are 1-11 going in to a 3-game stretch against 3 teams in the playoff hunt. With this said, their single victory this season came against 3rd place Dead Evil, with no pressure on Lachen, they could always create another upset. Key team stats Most points per game: Rahinakaukalo (2) Most goals per game: Rahinakaukalo (5.83) Least goals against per game: Rahinakaukalo (1.25) Best power play: Yellow Jackets (32.26%) Best penalty kill: Dead Evil (100%) That's it for the first part of our mid-season report! We'll be releasing the overview of the rest of the groups shortly.
