No big surprises there, Calgary begins their playoff journey against Seattle for the 3rd consecutive time in the last 3 seasons or the SHL. The season has been going pretty well, but Calgary are on the back end of things as it is, Seattle being the frontrunner to proceed. Against all odds, Calgary defeat Seattle in game 7 and move on to face the LA Panthers - who they also take down in game 7, Cale Amundsen being huge in their series against the Panthers, saving 60 shots in game 7 while only allowing 2 goals behind his bars.

Come conference finals, Edmonto has made the biggest upset in recent SHL history knocking down Chicago in 5 games and they face their arch nemesis Calgary for the spot in the finals. 2 seasons ago it took 4 games, a season ago it took 5, and now it took 6 games for the series to end - in Calgary's favor. Esa Parmborg on his last season as a Dragon notches up 5 goals and 11 points in 6 games, leading the Dragons for the cup finals - where they face Baltimore Platoon, who made the second biggest upset in recent SHL history by taking down Buffalo Stampede in just 5 games. Home advantage is a real thing, since no games was forfeited to the opposing team, until Calgary takes down Baltimore in game 6, tying the series 3 wins for each, and taking hockey back to Calgary. The superior atmosphere in the Big Parm is too much to handle for the notorious Platoon, as they fall flat on their dull skates, losing 4-0 to Calgary in game 7 - Dragons win the cup. For the first time in a very long while
