1. It has been a long road for young star Luke Atmey. In S32, Luke Atmey was at third overall by the Hamilton Steelhawks. He then helped the Detroit Falcons to make an epic comeback against the Montreal Militia and the Halifax Raiders. Unfortunately, the Falcons got swept by the Knights in the Four Star Cup final. In S33, he was called up to play in the SHL for the Hamilton Steelhawks. For three years, he has won a few trophies as a steelhawks but he was never able to make to the playoffs. The management lost their faith on him and they traded him to Manhattan. The next two seasons, he failed again and again but he didn't give up. He knows that he's skillful, he just need to be more consistent and to never give up. Today, he made it to the playoffs and beat the best two teams in the Eastern Conference. He's now one series away to win the Challenge Cup.

2. In my opinion, Brett Kennedy is the unsung hero of the S38 SHL playoffs. Some of you might be shocked by this one but I really do think that Kennedy has been a very important player for the Rage success in the playoffs and we should give him some more credits for his hard work. He has only scored 2 goals during the playoffs but he has been a very good playmaker and he has over 10 points. He's also playing around 24 minutes per game. He has been very physical through the series with over 60 hits. I feel like him playing that much minutes and putting up a lot of hits is really underappreciated but he's working way much than the players that are averaging a shooting % under 10. He also has been the best defensive forward on the team. He's not shooting a lot but at least he's scoring and he's positive rating.

4. Dani Forsberg has been a great forward for Calgary. He has never been in the final before so this is his first experience. He has already scored more than 10 points and he has been a very tough player, adding a +50 hits during his playoffs run. He has 12 assists in 17 games which is very good but he needs to change his play style. The finals will be the most important series for him and his team and he really needs to step up his game. It's great to score a lot of points but Dani Forsberg is known for shooting skills. So far, his shooting % is around 5 and he has only 3 goals. So if he could just score more goals during the final, he would be the hero for Calgary and plus, he has already a lot of points so his stats would be even better than it used to be.

6. If I was the manager of the Detroit Falcons, I would have played the BBB line during the final. Last season, they won the cup with the BBB line. They beat the Scarecrows, which were the best team after the trade deadline in my opinion, in 7 games. Then they swept the Militia in the final. The BBB line scored the championship goal and they were the hero of the playoffs run. This season, they keeped again versus the Scarecrows and they won the series so easily. For some reason, the coach decided to change the lines before the final started and it was a terrible mistake. It's true that the Firebirds are the favorite to win the Four Star Cup but you cannot let them intimidated you. They might have selled their future for superstars players but you have the best line in the league. There's no reason to breakup the BBB line. I bet you they would have swept the Firebirds.
