Blitz Farm Finals Completed

[dcicon5148]

The first ever Blitz finals came in with a lot of hype as the two top coaches this season brought in their teams ready for a epic match up. A showdown as Detroit took 3 of 4 from Buffalo during the regular season and the first ever Blitz Finals were about to begin and Buffalo and Detroit were ready for a war.

Game 1

3-1 Buffalo

In the opening game of the series there was a feeling out process with Mogilny coming out of his playoff funk to light the lamp twice and Fuhr shutting the door on any Detroit opportunity early. A defensive match up in the final two periods left for an exciting game and a great way to open the series.

Game 2

7-2 Buffalo

Game 2 was the total opposite of Game 1. Mogilny started things out with a natural hat trick and it was sweet sailing from there for Buffalo. Mogilny added 1 more and Lafontaine added a hat trick of his own to send things to Detroit with Buffalo atop 2-0.

Game 3

6-1 Buffalo

The Detroit crowd was restless and ready to support their team for Game 3. But Dale Hawerchuk must have woken up from his Games 1 & 2 naps as he starts the scoring out with Mogilny with 3 goals in 90 seconds to start out the first period. Fuhr shut the door again as Buffalo was just too much for Detroit in Game 3.

Game 4

1-0 Buffalo

Detroit just couldn't come back from the huge 3-0 lead and Buffalo finished them off gracefully. Buffalo showed why they were one of the top teams during the regular season and went 8-1 during the playoffs.

Congratulations to all who participated in Blitz Farm league this year, a great year and a great playoffs!! Best of luck to the guys in A & B for their playoff games!!
