    This post season, each round I will pick one match-up deemed to be a close series in my opinion. This round, my first choice WAS going to be Chicago vs Cleveland, but seeing as I am on Cleveland, bias would probably run strong if I did that one.

    As such, for round one I shall cover what is in my opinion, the closest match-up in the Eastern Conference; the Toronto Marlies vs the Binghamton Senators.

    Tale of the Tape
    :team303: Binghamton Senators (2) vs Toronto Marlies (3) :team298:
    :team303: Binghamton Senators (43-28-11) 97 Pts
    Last 3 Weeks - 11-12-5 - 27 Pts

    :team298: Toronto Marlies (45-31-6) 96 Pts
    Last 3 Weeks - 18-9-1 - 37 Pts
    First off, hats off to @ele905 @xM2Sx WeLcHz and @Benzy19 for turning around their season. These teams were complete opposites of each other at the start of the season, and they kept that trend up all year long. Where Binghamton started strong, Toronto was a barn fire in the first few weeks of this season, and where Binghamton went downhill after the trade deadline, Toronto flourished.

    Now Toronto took the season series, winning 4/5 games. With that in mind, The stats are almost completely even across the board in every department except for the one that matters, goals. Either team has the ability to take this series, and it will no doubt be down to the wire between these two teams, with a lack of blow-out wins. Through the season series, these teams put up a combined 30 goals through 5 games, with most of the games being low scoring affairs, and one goal games. That brings me to the keys of this series.

    Now both teams have good forward line-ups and good goalies, but what they both lack is depth on defence. Don't get me wrong, both teams have their good defence, most of which are RD's. Since it's a given that the forwards are going to show up, this whole series is going to hinge on which team has their overall defence take it up to the next level. If neither do, it will become a battle of which team can expose the other teams weak defense.

    Players to watch
    :team303:Binghamton Senators:team303:
    Forward: @
    OrockOnYoutube (17-8-3) 64 Pts |+18 | 57 FO%
    Defence: @UnoX Clouds (9-11-1) +1 | 30PIMs | -50 TA/GA
    Goalie: Neither. Both are performing well.

    :team298:Toronto Marlies:team298:
    Forward: @Bryce18xx716 (15-9-2) 61 Pts | +10
    Defence: @KoryDub (8-15-1) -15 | 24 PIMs | -45 TA/GA and @CKlim20 (12-13-2) -
    12 | 24 PIMs | -33 TA/GA
    Goalie: Neither. Both are performing well.

    My prediction
    Even though the Sens got themselves together in week 9, the Marlies are RED hot and will carry that into round 1. The Sens will put up a fight, but the Marlies will take this series in 6.
