9. I think that the team I would pick as most likely to win their first Cup of the FHM era among those who have won the Cup under the old STHS era would be the Baltimore Platoon. I know the Platoon had a down year last year after making it to the Finals in the season prior, but I think they are the best team that looks likely to break their duck. They have a good core of players, strong leadership from Trips, and I think they have lots of good people there that are highly invested in seeing them succeed and win games. This doesn’t mean, of course, that they will get across that hump and win the Cup, but I think they have set themselves up well to be in a good position to succeed in they continue on the same path they are on currently. There’s a lot of things that need to go right for them to get across the line. That said,  I am of the belief that they will continue to do the right things ,but themselves in the best spot possible and bring a Cup back to the Baltimore area for their fans and their team.

14. I think that New England wins the series as experience does matter, not so much in terms of players for FHM but in the organization’s ability to adapt and put themselves in the best position to succeed. They can make those adjustments and not panic if they fall down in the series and adjust. This is why they came back and won the series in the end.
