Dune is incredibly boring

a. I think Viktor Hargreeves on SFP will carry their team. He did it throughout the regular season, there's no reason to believe he won't continue to do it throughout the finals. He's too good to be shut down by any team for an entire series regardless of how good they are defensively or how well they adhere to a system.
b. I think the numbers are misleading but I also still think that Beau Kavanagh still has the upper hand. It's more because the team plays so well together and that he knows how to play behind them and not that he is an especially incredible goaltender. He plays well within his team and system.
c. That is absolutely enough to make them the best defenseman in the playoffs. All of the points are great, but the number of takeaways and zero giveaways are what really make the difference. Points can come as part of being on the ice with other great players, but being able to create turnovers for your team and not give any up is what really puts a defenseman above the rest.
d. Baltimore had the easier path the to the finals. San Francisco had to go through Los Angeles and Winnipeg to make it, two really good teams as of recent. Meanwhile Baltimore got to play Atlanta in the first round, an aging Philly team and Hamilton was a total cake walk for them. No wonder SFP was able to take them down so easily.

I chose Czechia a long time ago when Blastmeaway was the head of the federation and I wanted to join them. Since then I've stuck with Czechia with every player. I love the people that are part of the federation, how much we talk and support each other outside of the SHL. Blast has come back recently and that made me so glad that I ended up staying there instead of moving to Sweden. I would like to have been in Sweden because there are some really cool people there too but I'm sure I'll be on SHL teams with them at some point.
