Michigan Looking for the Ultimate Hatrick

The Pain enter this years playoffs in hopes of an unprecedented third championship in as many years. The team has never finished the regular season on top of the Western Conference. This must be of most horrofic concern for any unlucky team to face the Offensive Terror of the Michigan Pain. Never before have they been so powerful. With the aquistions of Roman and Guerin, the Pain have added depth and security heading into the playoffs. Although the Pain are feared by all who enter their house, the Pain are not unbeatable. Michigan lost first line D-man Nolan Yonkman for the entire playoffs. The depth on D comes in very handy but it will still be
hard to replace Nolan. Another concern for the Pain was the lack luster of effort after the all-star game. The team slumped out of first only to regain its composure for the final stretch. Although the players shy away from stating they lost the President's trophy race on their own accord, they must feel as though it is their own fault. The Pain only needed to cruise through the final stretch but they let teams like the Ice and Hurricanes back into the race. However the playoffs is where the Pain shine. They have proven that the playoffs is a whole new season; they start their quest for the grail tonight.

PAIN vs. RENEGADES

The Renegades have been quite the hang nail to the Michigan Pain in the regular season. The Renegades seem to match up against the previous champions very well. They are not full of superstars but they play as a team which can produce great chemistry. The Pain will be gunz a blazin in hopes to smuther the Gades quickly.
