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. I think it is pretty clear that the Los Angeles Panthers have the advantage when it comes to offense as if you standardize the points to a point per game statistic, the Panthers still dominate the Tampa Bay Barracuda with their top players out scoring the Barracuda pretty convincingly with 5 players to 3 players on the first page of the scoring sheet.

3. Sometimes, having better defensive stats (i.e. having more shots blocked or hits) can mean a bad thing as that means that the team is hemmed in their own zone often whereas the Los Angeles Panthers have "worse" defensive statistics, maybe because they have limited time in their own defensive zone so I definitely won't count the Panthers out for defense.

4. Between Soonika and Brzeczyszczykiewicz, I would give the edge to Brzeczyszczykiewicz because he's been here before with the Panthers back in the S75 season, as well as the fact that he has a couple more seasons under his belt compared to Soonika. In cases like this, I take experience over anything. (51 words)

5. With the Tampa Bay Barracuda having longer names on average by 2 characters, they can use this to their advantage as they can pass the puck frequently between players with long names to hopefully confuse the other team on the defense end so in the moment of chaos, they can strike with a solid offensive opportunity.

6. My player had a down year this season as Ville Sato-Maki only had 33 points compared to his rookie season where he had 41 points. Definitely a step down in all aspects (expect for goals and hits) with more giveaways, fewer takeaways, less blocks, and less overall presence on the ice. This is a season to forget. (57 words)

7. It is the Maine Timber in the finals, I don't think I have to say anything more as with their regular season performance and their track record, it is clear that the Kelowna Knights are the major underdogs and they will need to pull every trick out of the hat just to make this a close series.
