For Nevada, the key to success is a proper team-first type of mentality from each player. There is no need to do anything flashy, trap, and hit back when there is a turnover. The players who are key factors are of course the goalies Weaver and Supernaw, but also the defenders in front of them, Zoidberg III, Kamado, and Balzams are all solid puck-moving defenders, they need to be able to get the puck up the ice fast and accurately. Bane, Afalava, and Funk are more defensive, especially the first two. They need to take the body and that way make it as annoying as possible to get into the danger areas in Nevada´s end. Funk is known for his at time dirty playing style, but he was also the third-best in takeaways, so he is going to have a big role in the defensive end as well.

Finally, the biggest reason for Nevada having strong playoff - the forwards. Every forward need to commit to backchecking and trapping. After that comes the counter-attacking part and making sure to use the chances to score, Zuntnere, Helminen, Wallace, Danger, and Vermette all have the tools to score goals.

Overall, keep it simple, rely on defense to keep games close, and use counter-attacks as well as possible. That is the recipe for Nevada!
