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?

Tampa has had the way easier road to the finals because they never had to endure the grind of a schedule in the Western conference. The teams are just better, meanwhile they're getting a cakewalk for most of their year against the Eastern teams. They also get to the playoffs and get to continue that cake walk as they never have to play a LAP or TEX or NOLA or anything on their way to the finals, just lukewarm opponents one after the other all the way home - must be nice! Meanwhile SFP is out here grinding - having to face the man Rasmus Bergling over and over again throughout the year and in the playoffs - it's a wonder they had the stamina, and frankly the health, to make it all the way to the finals when they've been taking such a physical and emotional beating throughout the year. Tampa doesn't know a grind, and I don't know if that'll help or hurt them here.
