3. Four straight years in the finals, we shall see if this is the year their core can have that final push. LEG, Rashford, O'Neil, Kinsinger, Montagne have been the beefy arms, jacked legs, and shredded torso of the Shiny Bears for years. They have the skill and the dedication to stay at the top of their game and help make that team great. They have all been award nominees, award winners, and all-stars for most of those seasons. With a top line and top pair like that, it helps out the lower lines as well as they all get favourable matchups. The Aurora draft well, which allows them to trade those good future players for win now players, hopefully giving them that last boost to win the cup this season. So draft well, trade well, play well seems to be the winning combination for a dynasty. Seems easy enough for everyone to do. 153 words, 3TPE

12. Well looks like Winnipeg finally pulled it off. LEG crushing it up front all series, and Montagne holding down the fort with back to back shutouts at home. It must have been very demoralizing for New England to lose an OT game at home, to then go on the road and get shutout two straight. Coming home down 3-1 makes it very mentally tough, and it looks like they just didn't have anything left. For NE, I would say their high powered offense let them down. Lead the league in goals only to be shut out twice is not a good look. I am happy for Winnipeg to finally get it done, those guys deserve it. 118 words, 2TPE
