Third Time's a Charm

TFHL 15 was supposed to be the year of 3 championships in a row. It was
however another 3 that broke the Michigan team. The Achaeans did not let the
Michigan Pain embarrass them 3 years in a row. The undisputable team to beat
this year fell to a team that has fallin short of great expectations in
years past. The TFHL 15 season predictions discounted the Achaeans of TFHL
cup glory. So with young talent and little expectations they rose to the
ultimate glory; eliminating the burden of playoff failure.

The Michigan Pain offseason began alot sooner then most of players expected.
The sting of their first playoff loss since thear of the Hurricane does not
sit well with the players, fans and local sports meadia. The media and fans
are pointing fingers at Coach Wilson. Even though the top line was
unsuccessful in the first two games, averaging a plus/minus of -2, coach
Wilson stuck with his guns and limited Daze and Yashin's playing time. This
proved to be their fatal flaw.

GM Elliot had a few comments the past season, "It is a shame to have our
best regular season effort go to waste. Everything in the second round just
didn't go our way; it happens to the best of them from time to time.
Unfortunatly its back to business and I will need to make few tough changes.
As for the Achaeans, am I happy for them? You know not really because I now
see how it feels to know that we lost to the champs. With that said, I give
Butchart and the players all the credit in the world but I am still bitter
about the loss. However we will be back and in full force next season.
Redemption will be our word for the year.
