1. Trivia + 3 TPE
Verification Word: Tentacles

4. Both Hodor and Seamus O'Slapahan have been important parts of their teams offense but overall New England has been blocking more shots as a defensive group than Texas, including their top defenders. Texas has their defensive core chipping in on offense more than New England overall and although they may be behind in shots blocked, they are leading in takeaways which in my opinion is a more important stat. I do not think the teams need to prioritize blocking shots and should stick with the plan and style that got them to this point, make adjustments as needed in order to shut down the play styles but not veer too far out of what they have done to get them in this position.

5. I would not say that Texas has a massive disadvantage, Dionne is actually hovering around an average performance and not a negative one. It would be more fitting to say that Olof Karsikko is having an unreal MVP worthy run than to talk negatively about Dionne. Karsikko putting up this high of a GSAA is insane and the last time a goalie put up those kind of numbers was Casey Fantobens in Season 71. There is no doubt in my mind that if New England wins this series it is because of Karsikko's performance throughout this playoff run. Karsikko would be my playoff MVP pick heading into this final round of the playoffs. (113)

11. After my rookie season I am pretty pleased with my performance, putting up 61 points in 66 games was above my expectations and I hope to eclipse the point per game mark next season. I will continue to max earn as long as I am able to and will hope to have my player improved a bit for next season where I hope to break the 20 goal marker for the first time. I ended this season at 19 goals which makes me want to hit 20 goals even more. It would be amazing to finish with 21 goals next season and 71+ points next season, that way I have 132 points in 132 games in my career. A bit selfish but I think that would be nice to have. (130)
