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?

6. This season was pretty disappointing. My lowest points scored in my career and far off pace for where I want to be. Just gonna make my points grind that much longer. I'd still like to get more assists than goals so I can maybe push for 1000 assists but who knows how far I can stay in it. I think as long as I have some goals I'm fine though. Next season I hope to get closer to 40 points. I have less TPE but you never know with the sim, things can just hit right and you can get extra 15 points for doing nothing in a season.

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

Los Angeles comes to finals after two seven game seriesses while Tampa Bay has only lost one game after the first round and they have 3 less games during the playoffs. Do you think Tampa Bay gets meaningful advantage from seemingly easier path to the finals as they come in more rested? Or is there no stopping the train of the Los Angeles after they fought their way through teams that finished second and third during regular season? How do you think the path to the finals will impact the series and does it change who you favor?

I don't think rest matters too much for these teams I think when you got a team like LA tanking through the best of the best in the league that they are gonna keep that momentum and bulldoze on through. Though the underdogs have been winning recently you never know that could be the break that puts tampa over the top.

Team Russia got replaced by Quebec, which for sure got people talking about the IIHF. What other nations/regions would you like to see get their own team? Would you think they should replace current teams and if so which ones would you seek to replace? And most importantly, why you think that teams you picked would be more interesting or improve the IIHF in general?

Probably Mexico, there is a lot of support for that I think. Probably something from South America too that's a whole continent without really any representation. A Brazil team would be really interesting to see or maybe Argentina or Colombia. Any of those I think would bring a unique vibe to the IIHF that isn't there yet. I don't mind teams getting replaced if they don't have the interest to sustain their base without serious intervention. Times change and the population as well and I think that the IIHF nations should reflect what nations people want to be in it. Maybe just a South America team if its too hard to get anything for one specific country.
