Recap
Men In Black dominated the series, completing a 3-0 sweep of the Baboons in convincing fashion. While Game 1 was a high-tension 3-2 battle where MIB relied on clinical efficiency to overcome the Baboons' possession time, the floodgates opened in Game 2. MIB's wingers found their rhythm in that second contest, lighting up the scoreboard for 7 goals to put the Baboons on the brink of elimination. By Game 3, Men In Black had completely stifled the Baboons' transition game, finishing the sweep with a disciplined 4-1 victory.
TVK was the undisputed MVP of the series, putting up a massive 12 points (5 goals, 7 assists) across the 3 games, highlighted by a legendary 4-goal performance in Game 2. He was supported by center iiNsAnE x w00dy, who averaged 3 points per game and served as the team's primary distributor. Willisx97 also proved lethal on the wing, finishing the series with 8 points and a critical hat trick. The Baboons relied heavily on Buckley0306, who facilitated nearly all of their offense with 7 points, while Hergy9 held his own in the middle with 32 faceoff wins and 4 goals, but they simply lacked the secondary scoring to keep pace.
The statistical story of this series was MIB’s relentless shot volume compared to the Baboons' struggle to find the net. Men In Black outshot the Baboons 57-29 over the 3 games, effectively doubling their offensive output. While the Baboons were incredibly efficient when they did get looks—beating IamStillTyping 4 times on just 9 shots in Game 2—they couldn't sustain enough pressure to weather the MIB storm. MIB's defensive core, anchored by EricHMusic and JHubbs92, limited the Baboons to an average of fewer than 10 shots per game, while IamStillTyping slammed the door in the clincher with a .916 save percentage.
