+3 tpe 2. Which team has had the easier road to the cup finals? Do you think they could have made it to the finals if they were in a different division? So I think San Francisco had the easier path because they were pretty much the top seed and had to face the 8th seed Winnipeg and they got home ice advantage in the whole playoffs and they pretty much got through the first three rounds with very much of eas and had no game 7's, while Tampa has had to come back from down 3-1 against the forge while having to play on the road twice and they had to overcome adversity with the new England wolfpackd in the ECF with the wolfpack storming back from down 3-0 to tie the series and force game 7 at the wolfpack's home ice and Tampa delivered 1-0. So personally San Francisco had the easier road and I think no matter what division San Francisco is in they would probably get through each round and winning because they are the best team in the league right now and also they won the president's trophy which gives them home ice advantage through the whole playoffs and also knowing there playoff history I would expect this roster to experience one last hoorah for the home fans with one of their best teams that they have had yet. 200+ words 4 tpe 10. Written, 50 to 200+ words. What do they do different? We’ve seen Tampa Bay and San Francisco make the finals twice in a row and both 3 times in the last 5 seasons. What do they do differently that other teams should follow for better success in their future playoff runs? I think both Tampa Bay and San Francisco has some of the best rosters in terms of tpe and the experience in the playoffs from so many deep runs and what I think they do different is that they have pretty much stacked rosters and great tactics, all of which leads to them having so much success in the playoffs. 50+ words +1 tpe ![]() ![]() Registered Posting Freak

Short Prompts Well this one is blatantly clear and the answer is San Fran. As always with less tanking teams in the east it's a tougher road throughout the season and intelligent thought makes you think that that season prepares them for the playoffs. In reality, Tampa had to go through Philly, Atlanta, and New England, all of which are perennial powerhouse teams. They had tough opponents the entire way and you can think of it either as they slogged through a very difficult three rounds and are drained and tired, or they are battle hardened and ready for whatever bullshit San Fran is able to toss in their direction. 108 Words, 2 TPE ISFL PT Claim 3 TPE Total 8/8 TPE TPE scale reminder: 50-99 words, 1 TPE 100-149 words, 2 TPE 150-199 words, 3 TPE 200+ words, 4 TPE ![]() Head Office Head Office ![]() SHL GM Formerly Gyro_Hero

1. Trivia - confirmation Llama - 6/8 12. Jenga 8/8 I do not believe that everything will get knocked down a peg with expansion changing the landscape of the league. I think it will lead to higher scores sometimes, probably a few seasons of new strategies and attempts for massive wins and playoff dominance before settling into a new normal, but most likely every team will stay comparatively the same. Some teams will handle it better than others by making trades to allow them to continue to be good, and some teams will simply sell off and try to rebuild. I believe that all of the expansion teams will be given to users who are somewhat competent, so I believe that the best laid teams to succeed will be those that have layered depth and a well-rounded roster.

For the two teams in the cup finals, I would say that the San Francisco Pride have had the easier path in making it back to the cup finals. They won each of their previous series in 6 games whereas the Tampa Bay Barracuda have had two series requiring 7 games. Also, I believe the western conference has more teams re-building compared to the East so SFP would have some games where they had a better chance of winning and thus improving their record. I would still give SFP a high shot of making the cup finals if they were in the East but for TBB, i'm not so sure because they had an average regular season and barely squeaked out series wins by requiring 7 games. I would say for TBB this season in the playoffs, they were the underdog for each of their series but have found a way to come out on top so who knows what will happen in the rematch from S80. (167 words) +3 3. We have seen how important line chemistry is in the FHM era and for SFP's Dominik Winters and Logan Webb they have been together for a while now and i'm assuming have legendary chemistry with each other which is the highest you can reach in FHM. It is not a surprise to see them leading the way offensively for SFP this past season and so far in the playoffs. They have connected on each other goals countless amount of times and when you can develop that chemistry with another linemate it makes it that much harder for the opposing team to defend. Hockey is a team sport and can't be relied on a single player to carry the team, luckily SFP has a deep and stacked roster so they are able to roll 3 lines effectively but every time that Winters and Webb are on the ice, the chance of scoring goes up that much higher.
