Ah, the smell of the rink, and a darn promising matchup on the horizon featuring the New York Sirens and the Montreal Victoire - surely not one for the faint-hearted.
We all remember that thrilling tussle between these two back on Mar 12, 2025, when the Sirens edged Montreal 3-2 on home turf. That's gotta sting, ain't it? But wait, the Victoire had quite a blowout on their own rink Feb 15, besting the Sirens 6-2. Let's just say they haven't been sending each other holiday cards.
But let's dive into the here and now, shall we? The Victoire thrashed my cousin Jebediah's favorite team, the Minnesota Frost, most recently, while our Sirens - bless their hearts - just notched a convincing win over the Ottawa Charge. Momentum or not, regular season stats side heavily with the Montreal's squad who seem to have a knack for winning the key games. The Sirens... well, let's just say they've been singing a sadder tune more often than not.
So where does this leave us? In the grand tradition of the spilled popcorn and melted ice cream vendors, we have a hard-fought, cavities-inducing contest that may very well come down to a coin toss. Or, you know, who just scored the most goals. Thanks, hockey.
Prediction? All right, without further ado, here it comes...
