2. a) The LAP are a great team no doubt, they are solid from front to back and have shown that coming right back to the cup finals. I still feel TBB is the underdog but they are my team. TBB is very active and very hungry for their time to hoist the cup!
  b) The top TBB line are monsters the only way to contain them is match your best defensive players on them and hope your scorers can out score their top line. This will give the best chance just limit them and hope to put a few through the TBB goalie Strom.
  c) This D pair is stingy, they are going to be hard to work around. The best chance is work around them. Try getting some mismatches from depth to work around the top pair. keep the game as clean as possible and work to avoid PK so you can have chances working on the PP.
  d) I cant see blocked shots ever being a bad thing. I understand the idea that it could mean more defensive time but having the players able to play the defensive side leads to more opportunities the other way. Defense leads to offense and if once team isnt as strong defensively it could make the difference.


4. I know there are alot of superstitions out there but the one I have been using so far is if my team makes the finals I will not look at the championship tread at all until the series is over. Being a prospect on the TBB and having them make the finals I refused to look at the championship thread until after the series was over. I feel I want no distractions and all these "what should this team do to stop these players in the series" questions are only going to put more unneeded thoughts in my head. I feel to keep all my mind on the series and nothing else is the best way to focus on the cup. I really think this can catch on and be a main superstition for most people in the finals. lets all get into it, NO CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK THREAD DURING THE FINALS!

5. I had to dig deep for this man but he has been one weird story. His name was Ted Yoskin. I know what you are thinking, "who the hell is Ted Yoskin?". Well exactly, he was been in the league since S1 and no one has known. He started as a player getting average minutes and putting up average numbers. He retired after an average career and ended up managing a handful of players. He made them great moves and had a lot of clients go mid rounds. This all seems odd doesn't it? Well that's the point. He has done some much for the league yet never has he done enough to make it on people radar. He has always been the guy laying low and doing a lot. I would give him the nickname "The Stealth Bomber" always doing the work and no one having them on the radar. Always remember Ted Yoskin.

6. There are so many great stats you could add. I feel one that would really be a good idea might be Intuition. You hear all the time on draft day and scouts talk about a plays intuition. Their ability to see a play unfold before it happens. That pass McDavid makes before his player gets to the spot. The move McKinnion makes in the corner without even looking at what is behind him. The intuition stat could really be cool to see implemented in the FHM and see how players can build the stat. Get players making blind passes in Gretzky's office for sick goal, or if not having a high intuition and the player has higher turnovers making blind passes to opponents. This would be really cool to see work on stream see some change in player builds and how to make lineups. The GM would be likely to get some playmakers with high intuition with a sniper and really see some magic happen.
