Predicting the SMJHL Playoffs...with Coin Flips
#1

So this is something I like to do for the NHL every season, but I figured with the SHL and SMJHL seasons wrapping up today, it would be fun to predict who would win each respective league if the games were thrown into the hands of me and my shiny Canadian quarter. Here is the quarter in question, for those who are curious. For the flipping, the highest regular season team of the two will be heads, and the lower one tails. Allow me to begin!

ROUND ONE:

(7) Lethbridge Lions  Lions  VS  (10) Kelowna Knights  Knights

Game 1: Tails,  Knights  win (1-0)
Game 2: Heads,  Lions  win (1-1)
Game 3: Tails,  Knights  win (2-1)
Game 4: Tails,  Knights  win (3-1)
Game 5: Tails,  Knights  win (4-1)

Knights  ELIMINATE  Lions  IN 5 GAMES


(8) Halifax Raiders  raiders  VS  (9) Colorado Raptors  Raptors

Game 1: Tails,  Raptors  win (1-0)
Game 2:  Heads,  raiders  win (1-1)
Game 3:  Heads,  raiders  win (2-1)
Game 4:  Tails,  Raptors  win (2-2)
Game 5:  Tails,  Raptors  win (3-2)
Game 6:  Tails,  Raptors  win (4-2)

Raptors  ELIMINATE  raiders  IN 6 GAMES



Round One Summary: In both round one series', we see the series favourite fall to the underdog. Colorado and Halifax were relatively even throughout the season, so a tight Raptors win isn't too surprising, but the other series saw a huge shock. Lethbridge, who only finished in the bottom-four by a point, managing 51, saw themselves get smacked by rock-bottom Kelowna in 5 games. The Raps will go on to face Anaheim in round 2, while the Knights will be after the biggest upset of all against St. Louis.


ROUND TWO:

(1) St. Louis Scarecrows  Scarecrows  VS  (10) Kelowna Knights  Knights

Game 1: Heads,  Scarecrows  win (1-0)
Game 2: Tails,  Knights  win (1-1)
Game 3: Tails,  Knights  win (2-1)
Game 4: Tails,  Knights  win (3-1)
Game 5: Heads,  Scarecrows  win (3-2)
Game 6: Tails,  Knights  win (4-2)

Knights  ELIMINATE  Scarecrows  IN 6 GAMES


(2) Anaheim Outlaws  Outlaws  VS  (9) Colorado Raptors  Raptors

Game 1: Tails,  Raptors  win (1-0)
Game 2: Heads,  Outlaws  win (1-1)
Game 3: Heads,  Outlaws  win (2-1)
Game 4: Heads,  Outlaws  win (3-1)
Game 5: Heads,  Outlaws  win (4-1)

Outlaws  ELIMINATE  Raptors  IN 5 GAMES


(3) Detroit Falcons  Falcons  VS  (6) Anchorage Armada  Armada

Game 1: Heads,  Falcons  win (1-0)
Game 2: Heads,  Falcons  win (2-0)
Game 3: Tails,  Armada  win (2-1)
Game 4: Heads,  Falcons  win (3-1)
Game 5: Tails,  Armada  win (3-2)
Game 6: Tails,  Armada  win (3-3)
Game 7: Heads,  Falcons  win (4-3)

Falcons  ELIMINATE  Armada  IN 7 GAMES


(4) Vancouver Whalers  Whalers  VS  (5) Montreal Militia  Militia

Game 1: Tails,  Militia  win (1-0)
Game 2:  Heads,  Whalers  win (1-1)
Game 3:  Tails,  Militia  win (2-1)
Game 4:  Heads,  Whalers  win (2-2)
Game 5:  Heads,  Whalers  win (3-2)
Game 6:  Heads,  Whalers  win (4-2)

Whalers  ELIMINATE  Militia  IN 6 GAMES


Round Two Summary: Lmao the absolute memes my coin is bestowing upon this article. After beating Lethbridge surprisingly, the Knights then went on to beat the best team in the league in 6 games to advance to the semifinals. Can they actually go all the way? The rest of the series' were boring, with 2nd seed Anaheim, 3rd seed Detroit, and 4th seed Vancouver all dispatching of their underdog oppositions to advance. Onto the semis!


ROUND THREE:

(2) Anaheim Outlaws  Outlaws  VS  (10) Kelowna Knights  Knights

Game 1: Heads,  Outlaws  win (1-0)
Game 2: Tails,  Knights  win (1-1)
Game 3: Heads,  Outlaws  win (2-1)
Game 4: Tails,  Knights  win (2-2)
Game 5: Heads,  Outlaws  win (3-2)
Game 6: Heads,  Outlaws  win (4-2) Crybaby

Outlaws  ELIMINATE  Knights  IN 6 GAMES
Crybaby Crybaby Crybaby

(3) Detroit Falcons  Falcons  VS  (4) Vancouver Whalers  Whalers

Game 1: Tails,  Whalers  win (1-0)
Game 2: Tails,  Whalers  win (2-0)
Game 3: Tails,  Whalers  win (3-0)
Game 4: Tails,  Whalers  win (4-0)

Whalers  ELIMINATE  Falcons  IN 4 GAMES


Round Three Summary:Everyone's favourite luck benefactors finally fall at the hands of the defending champs in Anaheim, who beat them in 6 games. In the other matchup, Detroit sees themselves shockingly swept by the Whalers, who will be very grateful to have gotten four flips in a row land tails.


SMJHL FINALS:

(2) Anaheim Outlaws  Outlaws  VS  (4) Vancouver Whalers  Whalers

Game 1: Heads,  Outlaws  win (1-0)
Game 2: Tails,  Whalers  win (1-1)

Game 4: Tails,  Whalers  win (2-2)
Game 5: Heads,  Outlaws  win (3-2)
Game 6: Tails, Whalers  win (3-3)
Game 7: Heads,  Outlaws  win (4-3)

Outlaws  ELIMINATE  Whalers  IN 6 GAMES



THE CHAMPIONS OF THE COIN FLIP SMJHL PLAYOFFS ARE
Outlaws THE ANAHEIM OUTLAWS!!!!!!  Outlaws


Final Round-up: Well by sheer coincidence, the Outlaws bag what would be a second consecutive 4-star, as the luck of the quarter was granted to them. Now we'll see how it plays out in the real sim! Will be doing an SHL version of this soon.
