SMJHL SPACE JAM 2 - PLAYOFFS

*If you are new to my Space Jam series here is how it's working this time: I took all the players from the most recent SMJHL draft and put them into the NHL. There is now a tournament going on where they are facing off against each other. There is not enough players in an SMJHL draft to fill out a full 6 team league so there is extra players that are NHLers to fill out the spots.

The SMJHL players are not using their real stats, instead they are paired with an NHL star and given their stats. What NHL star they are paired with depends on their draft number. If you were drafted higher you get a better NHL player to play as.*



Welcome back to my Space Jam series, we are here in the playoffs and ready to hand out the cup. Let's take a look and see who won it all!

Round 1:



The Rangers who were underdogs coming in defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs who really fell apart down the stretch. It was over in 6 games and the Rangers advanced to face the number 1 seed Boston Bruins in the next round.

The Montreal Canadiens who had the top point getter and goal scorer of the season made easy work of the Detroit Red Wings in 5 games. Montreal advanced on to Round 2 where the Chicago Blackhawks were waiting for them.

Round 2:



The top seeded Boston Bruins needed all 7 games to defeat the New York Rangers. It was a tight series but the underdogs couldn't pull it off so Boston advances to the Final of the Rookie Tournament.

The Chicago Blackhawks swept the Montreal Canadiens in 4 games...With Montreal's firepower most expected this series to go longer than this but Chicago was dominant and it's on to the Finals against the Boston Bruins!
