6. I think the best team to not make the finals was LAP. The panthers were only 3 points behind SFP in the standings, and 8 points above the 3rd place team. They were even tied with SFP for regulation and overtime wins. They had the 3rd most goals scored and the 3rd least goals against, and the 2nd best goal differential, once again only trailing SFP.

14. Having not followed along with the finals as they were happening, I'm only catching up on the series now, and it looked to be a high scoring 5 games. The first thing that stands out to me, is despite the finals being between both 1 seeds in each conference, none of the games were particularly close. The smallest margin of victory was a 3 goal win for SFP in both games 4 and 5, but also includes a 6 goal win by PHI, and an insane 14 goal win for SFP. SFP definitely had the more potent offense, which is a continuation of their #1 most goals scored in the regular season as well, scoring 6.2 goals per game in the finals compared to PHI's 2.4. Despite the large scoring differential, the shots were much closer, where SFP only outshot PHI by around 5 per game, 34.8 to 29.6. Which brings up one potential MVP candidate, SFP goalie Justin Time. After shaking off the rough game 1, Time would only go on to let up 4 more goals in as many games, posting a .966 in the 4 SFP wins, and .919 for the series. Some other standouts were Dominik Winters and Mercedes Bayle with 10 points each, including Winters with a crazy 8 goals. Victor Hargreeves was just behind with 9 points and the second most hits in the series. And Rowan O'Beirne with 6 points in 5 games, but also racking up 17 blocks.
