2. Lasse Zeigler and Nathan Cormier each come into these finals tied for the most assists in these playoffs at 21. Who do you think will have more impact as a playmaker in this series?

Nathan Cormier is going to be the player that makes a larger impact on the series. Cormier is going to be feeding one of the most dangerous post season scorers in SHL history, Ivan Lacksamus. Lacksamus is the kind of scorer that could make any bum taken off the street look good. Now you have an elite set up man in Cormier sharing the ice with him. Lasse Zeigler is clearly a great player as well, but the Texas Renegades do not have any players that have the same historical scoring pedigree as Ivan Lacksamus and the New England Wolfpack.

3. Ivan Lacksamus is once again leading his team in points and has already tied Aaron Wilson’s record for career playoffs points at 242. While they are not the only one in New England to be producing points, do you think Texas should worry about Lacksamus who seems completely unaffected by their age?

The Renegades absolutely need to worry about Ivan Lacksamus. A team can not just ignore a player of that quality just because of their age. For players like Lacksamus, age does not matter, and that is especially true in the playoffs. Every second has the potential to completely change the series and someone like Lacksamus understands that better than anyone.

4. Hodor and Seamus O'Slapahan have both been important parts of their teams offensive but they also have a noticeable lead in blocked shots in the playoffs. We know that one goal can change the game so each block is one puck on goal less to worry about, but can one person do it all or should the rest of their teams follow their example and start focusing more on blocking shots?

I am sure that the fact that I grew up as a defender will color my answer here, but everyone should be blocking more shots. I do not care who you are. You give up the body to stop any scoring chance whatsoever. Those blocked shots are going to help your goalie save their energy and be able to pull out on the stops on the eventual breakaway that is sure to happen. Sure, blocking shots is scary and has drawbacks. Yes, it will hurt. Yes, it might land you on the injured reserve list. Those things are all temporary. The glory of winning the cup last forever. A few bruises is a cheap price to pay for eternal glory.
