3. Many of Tampa Bay’s defencemen, like Jølngüštrâädüvich DuBølk and John Brown have better defensive stats compared to Panthers defencemen. Do you think they can keep shutting down the offensive of Los Angeles or do you think that Los Angeles defencemen just appear worse because of the tougher opponents they have had to face?


The Panthers defenders had to face what was literally the second and third best teams in the league on their way to the Cup finals. It's not a huge surprise that they ended up with the worse stats. Not just that, but the fact that those series also ended up going to seven games more then once means that there was definately a lot more chances for them to get worse stats.

6. How was the season for you player? What you expect from next one?

Andren Akerson had his second worse season in his career. Aside from a new high of six game winning goals, he really didn't do anything remarkable. However, he couldn't be happier with that. You see, there is this funny coincidence that whenever Andren has what amounts to a lousy season, his team wins the Cup. It happened back in Season 75 and it's happening again now as the Panthers hoist the Cup a second time. Andren is like any other player, he wants those individual accolades. He wants to be winning awards and being singled out as the best but getting the Cup is always a really good way to make up for an individually lousy season. Next season will be a new start and Akerson is going for an award. Hopefully the Turd but he'd be happy with anything and if he does bad again... well hopefully there is winning a third Cup in his future.

8. Written, 50 to 200+ words. The Path

The path to the finals can matter a lot to a team and really, it depends on the team. You could have a series of injuries which bring you to the finals completely depleted or you could have a bunch of long series that really hardens the team and gets them in sync. The Panthers are the second kind. They beat the second best, third best best teams on their way to the finals... where they played the fourth best team. They literally had to go through two better teams to get there. There is no stopping the Panthers, they already honed their team on the toughest opponents the league had.
