3. A total of 5 goals separates SFP and TBB’s goal differentials. The difference? SFP has 17 goals from Logan Webb with most of his teammates just feeding him puck while TBB has no player besides 1 to have less than 2 goals scored this playoffs. Which team’s strategy is more likely to pay off in these finals and why?

It all really depends on if Webb can stay hot. Some times a player will just get hot at the right time and take over the post season. This is great but is not always sustainable. Over a long playoff series and against a strong team like Tampa Bay eventually they will find a way to lock a player down. It is a team sport and one player can not carry a team forever. So the question becomes can the Pride win before Tampa figures out a way to lock it down. If the series goes long it will probably lean in Tampa's favour. (104 words)


6. Which team would your player root for in the finals and why?

I think Jack Ellul would root for Tampa Bay but probably just because he is currently playing for Thunder Bay! The bay/fish teams need to stick together and root for one another. That said the Pride are a very strong team and are a great team to watch and support. (51 words)

7. Who you got? Who wins the Challenge Cup or Four Star Cup? Why?

I think the Pride take it at the end of the day. They have the experience from last year and have shown that they do not have any sort of post championship hangover. They are an extremely strong team which plays great hockey and has the ability to win. Tampa has shown spirit and was able to beat Atlanta on their run to the final which is no small feat but the pressure of the finals is something new. I think that they will be back next year to claim it all. So, season 80 goes to San Fransisco but I would not be surprise to see Tampa Bay as our season 81 champs. (114 words)
