2. d. 1TPE One of the few times I think they both had the same difficulty path to the finals. Both with a pretty easy and convincing first round win, followed by scraping by in a tough 7 game series against the between top two conference teams. Finish that off with wiping out a team that upset its division series, and here you are in the finals!

2. e. 1TPE Listen, that eagle would probably get a ton of fly by hits in, but its never going to be able to finish off the lion. All it takes is one lucky grab when that eagle swoops on by and the lion has it finished. Death by a thousand cuts? Try death by one bite. Lion wins.

5. 3 TPE I am not sure of the options for FHM, but I think a round 1 divisional game makes sense. Creates rivalries, makes sure to keep all divisions going further into the playoffs which increases fan engagement. But I think one round is enough. I would like to see a reseeding after the first round. Usually I find this would not change that many matchups, but it would be nice to finally see some other teams before making it all the way to the conference finals. I mean you are already playing your division like seven or eight times during the season, we already have a rivalry with them. Adding another round in the playoffs enhances that, but I want to beat other teams as well. This would favour the higher seeded regular season teams (at least one would think) but playoffs can be a completely different kind of hockey, so that might not really help anyway.
