The playoff tree for the Anchorage Armada to win the Four Star cup would probably be getting a first round bye, playing a team like the Colorado Raptors in the second round. Third round, the Armada would likely play a team like the Detroit Falcons before finally matching up against hte Vancouver Whalers or Nefoundland Berserkers in the Four Star Cup final. It would be a hard fought series, having to go to seven games between the two juggernaut teams in the SMJHL but hte Armada would eventually triumph nad Mikhail Novikov would get to hoist the trophy that has evaded him for his 5 year SMJHL career - the Four Star Cup. It looks like a similar playoff tree could happen this season, and hopefully it does so Novikov can finally win a Four Star Cup before moving up to play with the Buffalo Stampede in the SHL. But we will have to wait and see who is on top at the end of it all.
