The Michigan Pain have gone through the slump of a championship team. The Pain started the season like they finished Season 13. Although once the realization of having to play a whole 88 game season to get back to meanigful hockey, they slumped in the last hafl of the season. Now the Pain should have a that feeling of excitement that they once have had. They will be ready to go, and they will be feared. Everyone questions the defence and the goaltending of the Pain year after year. But this year the stats speak for themselves. Gigy was the only goalie to finsih with a .900 save percentage. The team as a whole was third in goals against and fifth in goals for. Although the Pain finsihed 3rd in the west, what people should remember is that the Pain finsihed last year in 5th. If the Pain are to repeat, they must come together as a team again.
The Pain will face the Bulin Wall and the Blawkhawks. The Blawkhawks will not be an easy team to advance from. If the Pain are to be succesful tehy will need to control the Center of the ice with two former all-stars, Lindros, and Christensen. The Pain will also need to get to the Bulin Wall fast, but reports are that Nikolai is not feeling up to par. GM Elliot was questioned as to what he thought about the Hawks, "This could be the last time we see the Blawkhawks in ahwile because they have traded away all their future for this moment. That moment is a shotgun start tournament at Pebble Beach in a weeks time." GM Elliot all jokes before the game, but come game time, the mood shall change.
