Scavengers Reign was an incredible show

Derek Martin is player with most points that plays in finals. Los Angeles has 3 other players that are also above or tied in points with Tampa’s Max Carnage. Does Los Angeles have advantage on scoring or does it just seem like it as they have also played 3 more games?

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?

Before finals both goalies have pretty similar Goals Against Average, Soonika leading 2.51 to 2.55, but Brzeczyszczykiewicz has edge on save percentage 0.927 to 0.919. Which of the teams do you think has edge on net?

Finals can often come down to smallest details and teams are looking for any edge they can have. On average Tamba Bay players have longer names by almost 2 characters, how can either of the teams take advantage of that?

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

This time for J: Who you got? Who wins the Four Star Cup? Why?

2. Los Angeles absolutely has the advantage in scoring, playing more games and still being able to put the puck in the net for every game doesn't mean your stats are padded. It means that you can consistently get the job done despite having to do more work than the other teams in the league.
3. I don't think there's any way that Tampa can shut down the Los Angeles offense. I know they say defense wins championships but sometimes offense just completely overpowers defense. The Panthers have players that are too big and too fast for any team to completely shut down. You have to do well enough defensively to give yourself a fighting chance and not fall too far behind, but the reality is that Tampa is going to have to score their way out of this series if they want to win the cup this season.
6. This was an awful season for Cal Juice. He regressed horribly all the way from 29 goals and 70 points to 21 goals and 34 points, his worst point total in his SHL career so far and also to -43 which is his worst plus minus of his career so far. All in all this is a season to forget about entirely and move on.

12. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Is It Always The Same?

IIHF is short tournaments with only 12 round robin games for each team, which leads to huge swings from season to season when it comes to standings. Same is true for the WJC as well. With that in mind what do you think will be different from last season? Do you expect things to change for your team or player? And what you expect to stay the same?

The biggest change I see happening this season in IIHF is Czechia moving up the standings. Czechia has been in long lasting rebuilding stage but the young players are finally getting to be key players in the SHL. I don't expect Czechia to win gold this season but we absolutely will make it to the knock out stage,maybe evn the bronze medal game!
