Task 5:
The Hamilton Steelhawks most important game 4 of the eastern conference semi-finals. Before this game, the Steelhawks were down 2-1. After losing game 2 in a close game 3-2 in overtime and again in game 3 after getting shut out 3-0, they came right back in game 4 winning a huge game in overtime. After that game, they won the next 2 games to beat the Rage and then swept Minnesota Chiefs in the next series. After the game with the Rage, they never looked back. If the Steelhawks would have lost that game in overtime, they would have been down 3-1 and might have never even made it to the finals.

The most important game for the Panthers was game 3 in the conference finals. After finally losing their first game in the playoffs in game 2 of the conference finals, they came right back in game 3 in convincing fashion winning the game 4-1. After that game, they proved that they can come back from adversity as they eventually won the series after taking it in game 6. If the Los Angeles Panthers never won that game, they would have been down 2-1 in the series and if all the results were the same so to say, the series would have went to a game 7. A game where the Renegades are used to the pressure. Even if all the results were the same, the one thing you could not do against the Renegades was let them lead the series and let them play their game. If the Panthers lost that game, the Renegades probably would have won that series.

Task 6:
Riko Muerto and Nicholas Pederson are the two starting centers for their respective teams. Both players were vital reasons why they were successful in making the playoffs and were successful in helping them in the playoffs as well.

Riko Muerto had 22 goals and 22 assists in the regular season giving him a total of 44 points. That is an outstanding number for a center who also need to focus on defence. The Hamilton Steelhawks will miss him this season as this will be his last season in the SHL. Nicholas Pederson on the other hand had 18 goals and 29 assists with the Panthers. He is a dominant goal scorer but an even more devastating playmaker and his point total proves it as he had 7 more assists than Muerto this season. On the offensive side of things, we would obviously have to give the edge to Pederson. On the defensive side of the ice, we would have to give the edge to Muerto. Muerto had a plus minus rating of +8 this season. Pederson only had a +3. Muerto knows how to keep the puck out of the net and put it in the opposing team's net. He knows how important every goal is and that is why we gave the edge to Muerto in that department. Even though Pederson had more points, Muerto was on the ice for goals for more than Pederson was.

The main stat for centers is faceoff percentage. Muerto had a 46.67 faceoff percentage while Pederson had a 51.92 faceoff percentage. One of the most overlooked stat for star centers around the league, but for this series, it will be very important. Puck possession is vital, and starting off with the puck is very important. And this is where Pederson also beats Muerto.

The center who will be more dominant this series is Muerto, whether it'll be enough to put the Panthers over the Steelhawks, only time will tell.
