(S8) - PT 4 - Rivalry

[AzhekAhriman]

The Yellowknife Wraiths and the Philadelphia Liberty have had something of a rivalry during Rainey’s time in the frozen north, although its been more about when the games were close than the volume of close games. The Wraiths have went 3-1 against Philly during the last two seasons with one more regular season game and a probably meeting in the playoffs remaining. The Wraiths, however, are decidedly dissatisfied with that record as the one game they lost was the one they had to win, the conference championship that sent Philly to an Ultimus that they would win against the odds against the Orange County Otters juggernaut engineered by shadow coach Angus Winchester. The Wraiths view the now fire-selling liberty as fierce rivals despite the sentence that I just wrote, after all we had the best shot at a title that the franchise has ever had, with a 13-1 record and being prohibitive favorites against both Philadelphia and Orange County only to have the dastardly liberty steal it out from under us. Although you’re always sad to see any team go into rebuilding mode the Wraiths would be ecstatic if they could avoid seeing the Liberty in the playoffs again, it would surely signal a return to the title game for the spookiest of teams.
