Task 2 (2 tpe)

No penalties on its own would be omega busted, but adding the other two is icing on the cake. Being able to defend illegally instead of worrying about staying within the bounds of the rules gives much more of an advantage than a 6th man. Yes, if a team played perfectly and their mentals were unphasable, the team with 6 players could probably just overwhelm with the extra man, but that's not unrealistic. In this scenario, the team with 5 men could commit murder on ice and pass to the guy cherrypicking across the rink for an easy goal. It's a no brainer.

Task 5 (2 tpe)
The best team to not make the finals was definitely the Texas Renegades. A team that has been putting it together for a while finally did an incredible job in the regular season of getting wins on the board, but they got unlucky to face the only better team in the league in the second round. Maybe the Renegades could've put up more of a fight, but their quality is undeniable. The K-unit of Kvalheim, Kekkonen and Kubinec is pretty unstoppable, and that's not including the rest of their unbelievable offensive depth. 8 players had over 50 points this season for the Rs.

Task 12 (4 tpe)
a. The Stampede simply have more offensive depth than the Steelhawks. If Buffalo can make the top forwards on the Hamilton side work for everything, they can make their task a lot tougher. They also both have elite defenses, so a huge deciding factor will be what the Stampede defense can do that the Steelhawks defense can't in this series.

b. Unfortunately, as we saw, the great offense won out, but I think it's also a case of the fact that the Steelhawks defense was just as good in terms of the individuals' skills themselves. Meanwhile, the top end of their offense was nigh untouchable, and that's why they managed to take it in the end.

c. You could make a case for either. Hamilton is a garbage city, and if the team were anywhere else, the branding would vastly improved. That said, I think the Steelhawks is a strong branding choice, great logo, great color scheme, and it has staying power. I love the Green and Yellow, but overall, I think I have to lean Steelhawks here.

d. I'm going Aaron Wilson and Theo Morgan from the Steelhawks and Bobby Sharp and Emilia Bergman for the Stampede. In terms of pure goal generation per 60, these are the top 4 guys, and they're all very strong at limiting the other team's offense as well. End of the day, both teams are so deep that you'd be comfortable with plenty of players, but it's definitely these four that I think lead the pack.

Task 13 (2 tpe)
On a team that is constantly stacked on offense and defense, I think it's time to give the goalie their due. Jobin was fantastic all playoffs long, and he's never been unreliable between the pipes. It feels like any player on this offense can produce on any given night, but for Jobin, he's got to be on his game every day, and he never missed a beat. Outside of Game 1, Jobin did not let in more than 2 goals in any game of the finals, and while the team backed him up, he still had to make those saves, and he did.

Task 15 (3 tpe)
milestones

Task 16 (3 tpe)
I can say nice things about so many people on this site, but it feels like every time I do this PT, it goes like 600 words, so I'll save myself by talking about the people on this Steelhawks team that I talk to every day and I love to death. @nour, @Gooney,@Hallsy,@whateverKimmyiscalled, @RotticusScott, @notorioustig,@Gwdjohnson, you guys are all pretty pog and I love talking to you. Without the boys, my life would simply be worse than it is. Every movie night, every fun bit, every league game, i feel better when I'm with the boys. Plenty of people hate Hammy cause they don't know what we're like in our own little bubble, but I couldn't imagine how I'd feel if I weren't in this lr, with my friends, my men, my teammates, my lovers even. God bless Hamilton and you know what? God bless America. Yeah.
