It has been 10 seasons since Panthers last won the cup and Yannick Svoboda is only player left from that team. While for the New England this is 4th finals appearance since S70 and multiple players have been there for all of them, including the two cup wins. Will that experience triumph over excitement or will it make them overconfident? Will the nerves of Panthers get better of them now when the stakes are the highest? Which team has the mental advantage over the other and how big of an impact you think it will have on the match up?

The Los Angeles Panthers are setting themselves up for the biggest mental challenge of their careers. You have a team that is mentally, physically, and emotionally at the top of their game. You can throw anything at New England right now and they will battle it, and battle it hard. However, it's not just the reputation of the players, the coaches, the fans, it's due to one singular player who has carried them through everything they've been through int he past 5 seasons. That player is Olof Karsikko. Olof Karsikko, or know as Ollie to fans, maybe, has been the one leading the Wolfpack his entire career. He is the alpha wolf, he is the one who they all turn to when shit gets tough. Why? Because he gets belted with pucks all day long, and stays hot, and stands on his head when the rest of the team is on their skates. That's just next level goal tending right there. Someday when the league is long gone and all the teams have been obliterated because of nuclear war, he will be the one statue outside the NEW stadium that still stands.

Which SHL or SMJHL team was the best team to not make the finals this season and why?

There is only one answer for this question, and it's the Philadelphia Forge. Take a look at their season. They went 45-17-4 for 94 points, won 25 home games, 20 away, had a +137 goal differential, scored more goals than anyone else in the league. The only reason they didn't get into the finals is because NEW, and specifically Olof Karsikko, thwarted them in the eastern conference finals. Edmonton didn't get in? Boohoo. The forge were only 2 ROW behind them. The Western Conference is also a joke. The west doesn't have to play against the perennial favoties of BAP, NEW, BUF, ATL every year. They get a few free wins against teams like Minny, Calgary and Seattle. DOn't get me wrong, the East all won free games against MTL, but everyone does. So what I'm trying to say is, PHilly deserved the finals appearance again and it's a FHM shame they didnt' make it.
