OPTION 2:

It is clear Los Angeles is the more offensively gifted team, and they came through the more difficult Western Division. To come out on top of the West you need a top tier offense. Tampa is no slouch in this department with a talented first and a capable second line. But it just doesn't compare to the depth LA brings to the table.

OPTION 3:

This entire championship will be decided from the crease out. Defense being a key role here. We all know it takes a team effort to win, we also know the old saying "defense wins championships." I firmly believe Tampa has the better defense going into the finals, I also believe they have the better goalie in the finals. What I don't know, can their forwards play a better all around game and support their defense than the Panthers? I don't think they can. This is where the Panthers could win the championship. I think they are a better complete team with 5 guys on the ice at any given time that can play a more defensive game making it more difficult for Tampa. Not only that they are more offensively gifted than Tampa. Better team offense and better team defense means, despite a talented defensive core Los Angeles will likely win the championship. I was saying boourns.

option 4

This is a close, super close goalie battle. I don't think either netminder has a true edge in this one, per talent wise. Both are elite goalies in the league, two of the best without a doubt. But, if I had to give an edge, and it kills me to do so, I would give it to Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz. He has the experience of winning it all before and been to the dance a couple of times. In a addition he has the stronger lineup top to bottom to support him in his quest for the cup. The proof is in the pudding as LA has already played two championship series this playoffs, one against the Pride, one against Texas and come out on top of both thanks to a fantastic netminder. Tampa had one hard series they danced through and have not been tested yet. Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz is battle tested and ready.
