8. I think tampa bay has the favors coming into the finals since they haven't lost as many games meaning they are more rested overall and since its only a one game loss the morale could be high in tampa bay while in los angeles they are exhausted from game 7s and morale isn't as high from losing almost half of the games they have faced
but los angeles also has more recent experience in playing more high stakes games since they have played game 7s while tampa bay has just basically swept their way into the finals meaning no recent experience in high stakes games so if it comes to game 6 or 7 i would say los angeles would win but if tampa bay manages to get a early lead they will win the series so overall tampa bay has a better shot if they can just get going early but if the fail to do so i will say los angleses will win the series and bring the cup. and my prediction is florida wins the cup in game 6 with winning the first two games losing the next 2 and then winning 2 of the next games thats at least my prediction on how the finals will go

13. this isn't really realistic or anything but it would be funny for the finnish region of uusimaa (the provience where helsinki is located in) to get a world champ team since there was also kinda of a joke when the boarders from uusimaa was closed to the rest of finland to try to reduce the covid infection in rest of finland that uusimaa should just become independent (this was only a joke btw nothing accttualy serious) but of course it could never happen due to the lack of finnish players and just because its pretty unrealistic for uusima to get a team what has no identity like quebec.
