Headline: Cape Town Cruise To A Third Place Finish

The long grind is over, and the playoffs will soon begin.

Cape town cruised to a third place finish in the league, but were unlucky
to be in the same division as the second place finisher, Havana. Cape
Town finished second in the division, and is assured home ice advantage
in the first and third rounds.

Cape Town's first victim will be the Mexico City Burritos. Mexico has
acquired a bunch of mercenaries, and is expected to take heavy losses in
the upcoming FA draft. Hopefully, their players will be talking to their
agents rather than their trainers for the next week or so.

MEXICO 80 45 29 6 355 292 96 .600 3-6-1 1G winning

Mexico has excellent balanced scoring, with five thirty goal scorers, and
five more players with 19 goals or more. They don't have any game breakers, as Eric Belanger lead the team with 78 points.

The awesome and unbeatable Stingers, on the other hand, have three forty
goal scorers, along with five additional players with 20 or more. Chris
Dury has become the best player in the league when the game is on the
line, scoring a TWHL all time record 13 game winning goals this year.

In fact, Cape Town has 17 players with at least one game winning goal this
season, so that's all you need to know about their heart.

As for goaltending, let's just say that Mexico's starter is much the
same as Cape Town's backup.

Looks like a nice Mexican vacation for Cape Town. Apparently, numerous
Stingers players have already booked a week-long vacation in Mexico
starting directly after game 4. Some suggest that this might be a
little optimistic, but not me!
