3. Gulp, well here goes nothing. For my bet, I would bet on nobody other than Mr. Gabriel Johnson himself. Although I know he's gonna read this and walk into my DMs tomorrow with his chest puffed out and head slightly bigger than it was today, Gabriel Johnson is an incredible player and he had a great coming out party in the Challenge Cup, putting up a number of goals. Not to mention the fact that for some reason his player gets a ridiculous number of breakaways for whatever reason. Something something sim breaker Gabriel Johnson. All in all despite what he says about a flukey season and all that, Gabriel definitely enjoyed an incredible year where he was going at a point per game pace for a significant chunk of the season, and given how long he has until regression, it would be scary to NOT bet on him.

A. Man, in all honesty all of these players would easily be accepted on many other teams as their best player, yet here we are, arguing over who's better and all that. Lagerfield just accomplished what many couldn't and that was overcome a 700 TPE deficit to beat out Wagstrom for scoring leader, which I find absolutely incredible. Phelps has been a rock in Hamilton history, consistently holding the fort down and being their franchise player for many seasons, and a solid 2-way player for the entirety of his career basically, similar to say, Anze Kopitar and Johnathan Toews. Kryyst has been standing on his head all playoffs and did just that the last time Hamilton won a cup, the incredible playoff performer keeps the hits coming and he really did not hold back, going blow for blow with future HoFer Tuck. On the other hand I believe Pepperoni is on the player in Edmonton, no questions asked. He's been one of the best players in the league no questions asked. I think the best player will end up being Pepperoni due to sheer skill and TPE levels, and although I don't think Edmonton will win the series, Tony will most likely be a force to be reckoned with all Finals.

B. I think it ultimately comes down to their playstyles, with the way FHM works I think the balance and strength side will actually be better as there's no way to just completely out skate opponents (Despite the fact that sim engines usually end up really liking speed as an attribute) and players can now outmuscle others for loose pucks and all that. Outside of that I think Hamilton will have the better strategy up their sleeve and have shown that with big wins against Buffalo and the (probable) favorites, New England. They've shown they can win with TPE deficits and as a result I believe that they can win once more with a deficit despite being the slower and less finesse-y team

D. Snow sucks. I was someone who was brought up in super hot conditions in Singapore, I'm much more used to those conditions than being rained on by cold white stuff (Yes hotdog I said cold stuff, the hot white stuff can wait till later tonight). Anyways, the snow was something that was a new experience for me when I initially moved to Toronto at the age of 10 and lets just say it was not exactly for me. Outside of that, just the general cold temperatures that come along with the Blizzard and snow really ain't my thing to be honest. Just something that I could never get accustomed to and although I may not be a huge fan of it, it has brought it's fair share of golden memes like this icicle i found outside of my house
