Code: While these two teams are no strangers to the Cup finals, we did see some very interesting things this season. Looking back, what do you feel was the most surprising part of the season? Looking back to the season, I have to say that I mostly focused on San Francisco Pride, my casino bets and the standings. Those things included a couple of surprises: San Francisco Pride did surprisingly well and Texas was surprisingly dominant in the regular season. I have to be a homer and go with San Francisco Pride. First, not being last. Then, not being completely terrible and even occasionally stealing points from actually good teams. And then, actually competing in a playoff series. Pride had a bunch of rookies and still some inactives, and there weren’t really any expectations - not within the team, and even less from the outside. 20 wins out of 66 games was a solid record, and with Antonescu in net we were 18-19-5, which is - in a good way - very average record and a great signal for the future. The cherry on top of the cake was the playoff series against Toronto, which we managed to force to game seven - again something that basically nobody expected. (174 words) 2. Written, 2 TPE (100 words min.) Code: Oh no, the head honchos of the league are worried that there aren't enough story lines for the finals! Therefore they're changing the rules for the finals. The home team will get to choose to either a) play the whole game with 6 skaters on the ice at a time or b) be immune from penalties/offsides/icing. Whatever the home team chooses, the visitors get the other perk. Which one are you choosing, given the choice and why? This is actually a fun thought experiment, and it would be interesting to see in action. I think I would go with penalties / offsides / icing immunity. And I would take it even if it was only the penalty immunity. It would just make both attacking and defending way easier. On the d-zone you could just wrestle everyone down, push the goal out of its place when someone is close to scoring and chip the puck over the glass every time you are in trouble.. When attacking, you could basically just run through a goalie to score a goal. In theory you could also just play dirty and make the opponent play hurt all the time. So yeah, I choose the immunity.

If you're playing in the Finals: Is there anything different you plan on doing next season to continue your team's success? (157 words) 9.
