Task 1
Verification

Task 3 – 3 TPE
When it comes to playoff scoring I think it is always important to have a great amount of depth. I think depth will always help when things are not going well and the games get tighter. I always prefer if a team has a lot of players contributing when going into a cup final as it can be problematic for opponents to deal with on every line. That being said, when you have someone like Webb firing the way he is and scoring goals at will, that also is a little problematic to deal with. Sure, it’s only one player, but when things are going your way, it’s almost impossible to stop. I think both have their merits, and I would prefer to have more depth scoring, but having someone who seemingly can’t miss is a not something you want to face in a series, especially when the cup is on the line.

Task 6 – 1 TPE
I think this one is pretty easy, as I would say Tampa Bay. This is purely because my player is currently playing for the Panthers and the Pride are our rivals. I don’t really have anything against the organization or the people on the team, but I just couldn’t do it to my teammates or fans to get behind the Pride in the playoffs, especially when we’ve struggled to get past them the last few seasons.

Task 14 – 3 TPE
Honestly the series itself was highly entertaining, and was extremely close. Obviously San Francisco rattled off 3 straight to take the series 4-2, but I think you have to really applaud the work that Tampa Bay did. Not only were they going up against a great San Francisco team, but they also took down the juggernaut that was the Atlanta Inferno. Atlanta was absolutely unstoppable during the season with an incredibly potent offense and they managed to get through them. I think at the end of the day they just managed to come up a little short. San Francisco has arguably one of the best and deepest lineups in the league and they have the experience of being in a cup final (and winning) over the past few seasons. I think either team was deserving of winning, it just ran out for the Barracuda, but I think they’ve been building well and will probably continue to see success in the near future.
