4. Both Tibuk Soonika and Justin Time are playing extremely well for their teams, boasting very similar numbers all around. Soonika does have the edge on goals save above average however. Will this give the advantage to Tampa Bay going into the finals, or will SFP find a way to outdo the goalie playing above expectations

What a legendary battle between 2 heavy weights in the current goaltending universe. Soonika versus Time and now we aren't talking about Tibuk's progressing age here, we are in fact talking about Sir Justin Time. I am convinced if he is not currently being discussed as Sir he should most definitely be knighted at some point in the not too distant future. Getting back to the topic at hand, while I am indeed writing this at the 11th hour and am not more than aware how the finals turned out I think this really turned into a top tier playoff between these 2 goalies. While Time and the San Francisco Pride did ultimately win Tibuk put up an amazing Goals Saved Above Average or GSAA. Tibuk recorded a 10.52 to Time's 3.82 which is quite an accomplishment along with posting better save percentage (.915) in comparison to Time's .908 which is a very respectable number in the SHL. Time did edge out Soonika in GAA and did clearly post a couple Shut outs through these playoffs. It was a great showdown and it is a shame we have to wait a whole year for another potential show down again. Hopefully it tilts in a different direction and we can see some puck luck in the American pan handle.

5. If the SHL finals were to be held in another country this season, where would the best place be and why?

Wouldn't it be wild if instead of playing in a politically unstable American city we uprooted the whole SHL to Europe instead? That would be bonkers and is something I definitely think we should do because America is about to go down and no sense in dragging our glorious league with it. Seriously let's just change the American city names to European city names and call it a season.
