Montclair Sopranos Sublimate Minnesota Blizzard
The Montclair Sopranos made incredibly short work of the Minnesota Blizzard, one of 2018's best-performing teams. In the twelve games against the Blizzard's boards two, three, and four, the Sopranos scored an incredible 10/12.
Ultimately though, this result had little impact on each team's fate as the Blizzard retain their playoff spot, and the Sopranos could not make the playoffs though they do avoid relegation.
Here is one exciting game from the match as two young American IM's faced off and Nico Checa saced a piece and came out ahead of Daniel Gurevich.
