Quote:Task 3

Winnipeg making the finals four seasons in a row is very impressive and it requires multiple factors. I will not give specific names because I have no idea who the players on the team are or even the GM. I barely pay attention anymore to be honest I'm just seeing how long I can keep this up. But from my time with Texas, it requires players to buy in and remain patient and it requires the GMs getting the right pieces. You need a handful of veterans so that will make the new guys more comfortable and confident in sticking around, and you need a handful of hungry rookies who want to race to bead those TPE records. The most dangerous thing after four in a row is complacency so it's very important that they don't rest on their laurels especially when they have a huge target painted on their back. Most importantly, you don't need people like me who are barely a presence and just happy to be there.

Without knowing what their salary cap looks like I'd say it would be very difficult to keep the core together but if they can, well done. I honestly thing this is an anomaly and anyone who tries to replicate that kind of success will end up disappointed. It's best just to enjoy witnessing greatness. I'm curious if there was cap circumvention. I'm not even sure what that is but it was a thing at one time so maybe there was some of that involved. But they seem to just have landed on a lot of the right players and literally every line is dangerous. Some teams will take a while to recover from the beatings they received. Just sit back and enjoy the greatness that is the New England Wolfpack. That being said, I think Winnipeg will take it to them this season. This is like Cody vs Roman but I don't know who is who. I just wrestling metaphors sometimes I don't know.

So when does it end? That's a question we used to ask ourselves in Texas when Hamilton was dominating. The answer is when someone beats them. Even if they lose a piece or two, they will still be lethal. It will take another team rising up and dethroning them rather than one of them losing steam. The obvious suspects are Edmonton, Chicago, and Montreal. The champion is never champion forever. Even Max Verstappen will lose eventually. But just historically it's a combination of those teams getting a hair older and not replacing their top players and new teams just buying in and getting better. I honestly thing the can goes down the road for another few seasons unless a new contender manages to step up. It can be frustrating to watch the same teams every season but that's just the nature of the beast and it's all cyclical. Someone will dethrone them in the next season or two.
