We’re finally here, folks. It’s the last round of our 24 team playoff sim, with the winner to be decided.
I won’t waste any time getting right into this, so let’s go:
(Note I’ll be going on a game by game basis)
Game 1
Colorado were the “home” team in the first game, which doesn’t give them any advantage other than the last line change, but nevertheless it is a slight bonus.
There was no scoring in the first period, though both team took three penalties each. Both goaltenders, Carter Hart and Philipp Grubauer stood strong in their respective nets to deny either side on their three power play chances.
