Prompt 2

If you asked me halfway through the season how things had been going, I definitely would have had a completely different answer; here and now, with just a half dozen games left in the season, the LA Panthers are finally looking like what we thought they would. All of our S56 guys are hitting their stride in their respective roles, which is important because of those draft picks we traded away in exchange for most of the top of the draft class. Oh, and Jimmy Wagner is playing out of his mind. His point totals are one direct reflection of that (34G, 44A) but his linemates in Donair and Fruit are thriving as well. Several win streaks of 3 or more games have really propelled the Panthers to an outright lead in their division - though you can tell from the overall season point totals that it has indeed been a dog fight all year. It's still pretty unclear who we will face in the first round of the playoffs. Both Chicago and Texas look formidable, but a lot of their wins (esp. referring to Texas) have been against bottom-feeding New Orleans and Winnipeg, so I'd say their prowess is slightly inflated. The Panthers will hope to turn around their recent playoff luck with a big series win next week.
