In my opinion the best SHL team that did not manage to make the finals this season was the Atlanta Inferno. Now I know what you might be saying, they didn't even make it out of the first round. HOWEVER they're a young hungry team full of skill, grit, hunger, desire, and many more things I could name off but won't. Plus on top of all that they had the best play in the league, Angus McFife XVIII on the squad for his final season before retirement. The cup man himself should've been more than enough to push them to the final but unfortunately they didn't do his career justice and fell just a little bit short. @micool132 :wy:


d. So, a pack of wolves fighting some panthers. Where the fight happens? How it goes? Which side wins? Were animals hurt while answering this prompt?
I think that this fight happens in the woods out in rural New England. The panthers are out of their element here and are also overwhelmed by the sheer number of wolves in the pack. Since panthers mostly go solo and are ambush predators their best hope in this fight is jumping the wolves when they're not prepared and hoping to take down enough to turn the tide. However the wolves in my opinion come out victorious. 77 words

a. During the Conference Finals Panthers had no players who had multi goal game, yet they beat the Texas in 5 games. Can New England shut down a team with such depth, how could they do it?
Now this is an interesting question and will really decide how the series plays out in my opinion. Whoever has the better depth in this series will win it. If New England's depth can match the performance of LA's depth, they'll be able to shut down or simply outscore LA. They need everyone to step up, play hard defense, block shots, make hits, and just dig in. 67 words

c. Olof Karsikko, who has won the Razov and the Challenge Cup with both teams, while already past his peak comes into finals with higher save percentage than Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz who on the other hand has lower goal against average. Which team in your opinion has advantage on net and how much of an impact you think it will have on the series?
To me Olof Karsikko will be the difference maker in net. He's got the higher save percentage which to me shows off how good a goalie is more than his goals against average. Nothing against GAA fans, but it feels like more of an indication of team defense rather than save percentage. With that in mind I think Olof freezes LA out and really shuts the door to get them to the cup. A hot goalie can steal a series away and that's what it feels like he is right now. 91 words
