a. Of course, on paper, it's always better to have more people that can score, however, it always also depend who's doing the job, how they are doing it and against who they are facing. I think they definitively had an avantage on this, but that new england was able to block it off. 53
b. There's no stopping someone who's achieving god level during the playoffs, the only way would be injury, but that does not happen in our fictional league. The only way would revisit the whole defensive system for winnipeg, but i think it would hurt them more than anything, because the guys are used to it by now. 56
c. The fact new england goalie saw more rubber than winnipeg's is not too much of a problem in my book. It keeps them sharp. I think winnipeg's goalie saw so little shot due to the domination of winnipeg, which doesn't help them as much to stay sharp. Down the road, the goal is to make the most save possible against the other team, so new england goalie have a edge there. 71
d. Well im writing this at the end of the playoff so i can see that i got the wolfpack in this because in four of the seven matches they played, they scored more goals than the winnipeg aurora. The serie was actually really interesting to watch, with the first 4 games being blown outs and then the other 3 being super close. 62

I think one team i would like to see the Minnesota Monarchs take on in the future in the finals are the Toronto North Stars or the Montreal Patriots. The Toronto North Stars is more because they are also starting their rebuild recently and i think in the future, it could be fun to face off with a team that will also be pretty close to us in term of TPE and activity, as the minnesota monarch are on the rise in my opinion. It would make for an interesting finals in my book to have two old rebuilding team clashing at the end of the season for a few times. After that, the Montreal Patriots would mostly be for Nevek Kove to be able to play in the finals close to home, so he could have more of his family rooting for him when they are in Montreal. And he could make sure they are in the stands no matter what if he wins. 165

All right, lets take that a bit realistically, we have a bear and we have a pack of wolves. The aurora thing isn't taken into concideration in that fight because the wolves are not magic and i want this somewhat equal. So you have the might of the bear, we all know they are some of the prime predator in the wild. One versus one, the bear destroy the wolves one hundred percent of the time. But here, we have a pack of wolves, so a group of the most clever and enduring character. One point to concider though, is that even exhausted, the bear is probably able to take a swing and kill a wolf in one shot. In most situation, due to the size of the bear compared to the wolf, even if they are 2-3 on the bear, they won't be able to do any consistent damage if they want to hunt him from the back, their only chances are key area like the neck and the paws, but in those area, they are all in swipe area from the bear. I think ulimately, the bear might win this one, but it would be a bloody and gore fight, with the bear maybe not surviving the following days as well. 213
