Lavishly's Line's Playoff Week #3

Cleveland Freeze @ Detroit Waza Flo  Detroit has been my dark horse pick to win the whole thing since before the playoffs started, but even more so since claiming home field advantage.  Now that the team that has beat them 2 seasons in a row in the playoffs is out, the door is wide open for them to go on to the finals and win their first ever Ron Newman Cup Championship.  Cleveland, on the other hand, will not go down without a good fight, and despite being a new team in the league, have some players with some experience like, Allen Eller, who can lead the team to victory with his experience and his ability to draw the extra coverage, open up other players, and deal out the assist.  Grossman, Ostergren, and Gillespie are keys to the Freeze's success, and if they can all have good games, they will certainly be a tough team to overcome.  Detroit is no spring chicken.  They have the talent, the drive, the heart, and the time together in the trenches that make them one hell of a team to try and knock out of the tournament.  They have proven time and time again in the playoffs that they can hang with the best of them, and that they can climb out of deficits at any point in the game.  I am thankful that Detroit is one of the few class organizations that provides their games free to view on the internet and will most definitely be tuning in to watch this one.  Cleveland will put up a good fight and keep it close, but I think, and hope, that this is Detroit's year to claim the top spot in the league. Detroit -1.5 o/u 17
