GMC Playoffs Round 2

Round 1 of the GMC Playoffs witnessed 20 very tough games with 8 coaches competing hard to make the semi-finals.

A lot of times after a playoff series, "could have gone either way" is said between opponents as pivotal moments in a series rely upon winning close games. This was proven true in Round 1 of GMC playoffs.

Of the 20 games played in round 1: 9 games were decided by 1 goal differentials (45%), another 9 games were decided by 2 goal differentials (45%), and only 2 games were decided by 3+ goal differentials (10%).

A big thank you to all coaches for staying committed and competitive throughout the season.

The Bruins and coach minpinD after a very successful latter half to the regular season came short in a hard fought 7 game series with the Calgary Flames. Between the pipes for the Bruins, Ranford entered into a 7-game defensive series with all-star netminder Patrick Roy. Each game was decided by 1 or 2 goals with the Flames moving on, congrats to Minpind on completing a great season and a major thank you and kudos for helping put GMC together. We will definitely be seeing minpind back in season 2.

The Buffalo Sabres under coach Jer_33 fostered one of the most potent offensive rosters but struggled to find momentum going into the playoffs with the top seed. As Mogilny, Lafontaine, and Gretzky continually pressed Potvin forcing him to make big saves throughout the series. As the Sabres were unable to keep post-season hopes alive, coach Jer_33 has already confirmed his return for season 2 to make another run at the cup - congratulations on the season and thank you for your sportsmanship & commitment.

The Chicago Blackhawks were a cup favorite with Ed Belfour in the net and bringing on Teemu Selanne with Peter Bondra to add to Jeremy Roenick's incredible offensive capabilities. No one expected their quick exit facing St. Louis, but "Super" Mario Lemeuix was able to solve the Chicago netminder. After a great finish to the regular season, we all know coach JackandJose will be back in season 2 to give another run for the league title - congrats and thank you bud.

The Vancouver Canucks and Coach Probob were stunned as the 2 seed by the Rangers in 5 games. Staying atop the standings during the regular season building around offensive powers in Pavel Bure, Geoff Courtnall, and Brian Bradley. Having the last pick of free agents, the Canucks faced improved teams in the latter half the season making it much tougher to win games. Coach Probob played all season long with high enthusiasm and exemplifies the sportsmanship GMC promotes. Thank you and congratulations on a great season, hopefully we see you back for season 2.

The Maple Leafs (1), Flames (5), Blues (6), and Rangers (7) got the job done to advance into Round 2. Higher seed has home ice advantage in same format as Round 1. The deadline for round 2 is Monday, 5/26.
