(7)Bramabulls vs Nighthawks (2) E1 Game 1

Nighthawks have no answer for Bramabulls top line

When it was all over and game one went overwhelmingly to the Bramabulls, the Nighthawks searched for various ways to say it was only one game. Unless they play a perfect match in game number two, this series will end fast.  No matter how tight they tried and play some of the Bramabulls top guns, M.Testolina and J.Palmitano just to name a couple still found a way to get through the defence and net minder. Both players each scored twice and were a big reason why the game was put out of reach .The only time the Nighthawks got on board was when their captain P.Santullo scored on the power play. That goal reduced the gap by three which felt a lot wider considering how well the Bramabulls were playing. It's safe to say that the Bramabulls have a shoe into the final if they approach the next game the same way.

(0)Carnage vs Les Rouuuges(6) E2 Game 2

Les Rouuuges showed why they deserve to reach final

Maybe for one period Carnage showed some resistance in an effort to keep the game close. However, that all changed by the second period. Les Rouuuges knew they had the series when they struck twice late in the frame for a favourable 5-0 lead. Everything went right for a team that expected nothing less than to reach the big dance. They played exceptional defence, getting a brilliant goaltending performance by P.Turturici and very balanced offense that saw six different players find the back of the net. A.Guillaume scored a lone first period goal that proved to be just enough for the win. Now that Les Rouuuges passed this semi final round, they will need to patiently wait and see who they'll get next between the Mighty Drunks and Chaos.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Matthew Testolina of the Bramabulls. No matter how close they tried to play him, lightning speed is impossible to keep up with. The forward was simply too quick producing two big goals along with a key helper.
