Supremacy takes the series 2-1 over Degeneration X in a matchup that was much closer than the final shot totals suggested. Supremacy opened with two straight wins, using a clinical territorial game to suffocate DX early on. While Degeneration X found their life in Game 3 with a dominant 6-2 response, the early hole was too deep. The series shifted permanently in Game 2 when Supremacy’s offense clicked into another gear, turning a tight possession battle into a multi-goal cushion that DX couldn't match until it was too late.
yRykerr was the clear catalyst for the Supremacy offense, racking up 8 points across the 3 games, highlighted by a massive 4-goal explosion in Game 2. On the back end, xMakar l8l and TrashDav were a lethal pairing, combining for 12 points and providing a constant transition threat from the point. For Degeneration X, bobaloooo_ remained their most consistent threat with 7 points, while m4ckzz88 did everything possible to spark a comeback with a 4-point hat trick in the final game. In net, LYCAN was under constant duress for DX, facing a series-high 57 shots and making 47 saves to keep his team within striking distance.
The series was ultimately decided by Supremacy’s ability to dominate the zone and dictate the pace. They held a significant advantage in time on attack, totaling 1830 seconds compared to 1481 for DX, and finished with a +19 shot differential. While DX proved they could be incredibly clinical on the counter-attack—converting nearly 50% of their shots in their lone victory—they spent far too much time trapped in their own end. Supremacy’s relentless forecheck forced DX into high turnover numbers in the first two games, allowing Supremacy to maintain the puck and eventually wear down the DX defense.
