The S50 playoffs were insane. The underdogs, Tampa Bay Barracuda, stormed to the finals on the shoulders of stars like Benjamin Blue, Gunnar Soderberg, a young Austin Roenick, and an emerging star Flacko Lagerfield. They surprised the whole league with their amazing run through the finals. The Tampa Bay Barracuda were the first seed in the east, like usual, having a fantastic regular season year after year. But, the playoffs were always disappointing for them, so this playoff tear was a break for the norm. The first round against the Toronto North Stars and emerging perennial all-star Harry Carpet, the Tampa Bay Barracuda won the series 4 to 2. Then, in the second round of the playoffs against the Hamilton Steelhawks, the Tampa Bay Barracuda emerged with a 4 to 2 series win again. Lastly, in the cup finals, the Tampa Bay Barracuda faced the Calgary Dragons; and what a series it was. Sadly, the cuda ended up getting reversed swept in sths garbage sim style, and was robbed the cup they so definitely deserved.
