One a piece in a Toruń doubleheader
The play-offs are finally here. After finishing 6th in the regular season we’re facing a tough series against KH Energa Toruń. We won against Energa just once this season so there’s a strong will of revenge. Thanks to the likes of David Goodwin, Jeremy Welsh or Taylor Doherty the team is undeniably stronger than in the regular season.
The appetite for success is enormous. We could see that in the games directly preciding the play-offs. 3:2 against JKH GKS and a 10:1 blowout in Katowice shows us real strength and potential in our team. Said potential has been hidden in the team since the beginning of the season. With so many acquisitions though, a certain amount was needed to match all the pieces together. It has finally come.
The series moves to Kraków for two games which will be played on saturday and sunday (27th and 28th of February).
