1980 PLAYOFFS
Well, that was over quick. The Whalers got swept by the Islanders, and it wasn't really close. Not really worth talking about. They had the better team certainly, and probably have some great hidden "big game" ratings due to their early 80s dynasty. The likes of Bryan Trottier, Clark Gillies, Denis Potvin, and Mike Bossy ran over us in every game.
The Islanders ended up making the Stanley Cup Finals, but lost to the surprising St. Louis Blues! At least in my alternate history, the Blues won the Cup ~40 years earlier than they did in the real timeline.
I feel alright about this one, especially because I pulled a trade with the Blues (Mike Liut) that likely favours me in the long run. That's the biggest thing I'm worried about when trading, is fleecing the AI. Well anyway they won the Cup so that's a small price to pay for them.
Onto the offseason next.
