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?

Well seeing as the game is done I guess there was literally nothing New England could do to save that one. Los Angeles never scored below 4 goals per game. Looking forward to seeing if they are able to keep up that level of success next year or if it was just sim luck.

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?

No animals were hurt in the typing of these words.

In the animal kingdom I am going to give it up to the Panther. A single wolf is not going to be able to handle predator at the top of the food chain like that. I am sure we could do some other factors to take into account but Cat>dog.

It has been 10 seasons since Panthers last won the cup and Yannick Svoboda is only player left from that team. While for the New England this is 4th finals appearance since S70 and multiple players have been there for all of them, including the two cup wins. Will that experience triumph over excitement or will it make them overconfident? Will the nerves of Panthers get better of them now when the stakes are the highest? Which team has the mental advantage over the other and how big of an impact you think it will have on the match up?

I think this is going to be New England in 4. Sorry Los Angeles Panthers I just think this New England team is too much of a juggernaut to be stopped. I also have some skin in the game as New England knocked us out early so my fragile ego is placated by the fact we lost to the champions. Unless Los Angeles has another teir that they can kick it up to I am just doubtful that they will be able to keep up....

Yeah... so I just went and saw the 4-0 sweep over New England. Guess I can chew my own foot? yikes completely didn't expect that but hey good on ya. I guess I can go back to hoping next season comes even faster so we can get back to some games. Wow Los Angeles only lost 2 games the entire playoff run that is impressive! Glad they are in the west.
