Season 86 - Are you ready?

[Al Svanberg]

Pheeeeeeew, two simultaneous CL finals (4 min apart), won one in OT and the other one on penalty shots...

The CL has gotten a little tougher. Faced teams a lvl higher than me in both tournies, and they were quite good. Al faced an opponent almost on par, but did quite well and won fairly in OT. Was never really worried. HFF though faced an opponent like 15% below it, but that opponent was tough. One of those games were it felt like no matter what I did -- all shots were blocked. He played with a DMC-DL-DC-DC-DC-DR backline (5-4-1). Tied it up to 1-1 pretty late, took the lead 2-1 in OT, but then instantly gave up a counter attack goal.

Something was odd in the PS though, I had a monster lineup with shooters, but only scored 2 goals on 5 shots (3 shots went wide). My opponent scored 1 goal on 5 shots, my keeper has the PS stopper SA, but must have been frustrating for him.

Double treble! Can I make it a double Poker? Tough FA draw this weekend, but not impossible... I won't repeat my Royal Straight Flush from last season though winning League, Cup, CL, FA Tournament and the FA division, we have gone 1-0-2-0 so far, its getting tougher in FAs too. But we had some bad luck/very bad timing mostly.
