General Manager Notes: Tomorrow...
Tomorrow...

We'll continue, tomorrow. And we'll be facing the Orlando Talons. Unsurprisingly, it would have been unrewarding had they lost at the North Plainfield Plague though. Elsewhere in the conference, the Paris Musketeers also made the best of their wild card and as a result we'll see crossed matchups between the European and Southeast division champions and runners up. In the other conference, the four remaining teams are the four division champions.

Orlando lost in Gothenburg last season in the conference semi finals, in 2089 they won the IHOF Bowl out of the #2 seed, in 2088 they lost in Gothenburg and in 2087 they lost the conference final after beating us in our most recent playoffs game. We also met them in 2085, that time we upset #1 seeded Orlando in their place in the conference semifinals.

Other things that sports journalists love to dig up, but that have basically zero effect on tomorrow's game? We won the last three home games in the playoffs, our last loss at home was in 2079, then we we're the #2 seeds and lost against the #3 seeded Toronto Lake Monsters. All-time we're 19-17 in playoffs games in Oranje Haven, but we're actually 3-6 as #2 seeds in the conference semifinals, we've got quite the reputation of going one and done out of this slot.

Yeah, we've had plenty of that kind of bad luck in the past. Let's go out there and make things happen, team. Clarence Gore for team MVP? You can do this, kid!
