In all honesty, I don't believe there is a path that takes us to the cup without some luck. The team is young and growing. We've made playoffs back to back which is great. But we had a rough regular season against a lot of the teams in our division. Anyone other then Chicago probably would have given us a chance to get through the second round. But regardless in the reality of this prompt we'll roll with chicago. In a twist of fate and luck, we manage to take them to game 7 and steal it from them. Smith and Ward having known each other from their time in QCC gives their teams pointers in what the weak points of their game are. Leading us into a match up with Texas, which goes to game 7 again. Ward standing out against a hailstorm of pucks. And offensive showings from players like Sutton. In the Semi's we face off against LAP. Taking them in 6 games leading us to the final against Buffalo. Where Ward faces off against his long time idol in Doyle. A heroic effort from both goalies takes it to game 7. In the 9th overtime a puck deflects off of Doyles on pad and causes an own goal. Leaving your Blizzard as Champions!
