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 for me, someone who doesn't necessarily know much about all of the other SHL teams, it is that the Tampa Bay Barracudas and the San Francisco Pride have put in the work to build SHL the are made to win. I remember many seasons ago, when my first player was playing in the league, both of these teams were at the bottom of the standings. They both have obviously done a whole lot of work to get these teams out of the basement and now are the best of the best. That isn't easy and they must have had some solid upper management to help them draft well, to retain and attract quality talent. It isn't easy to get to the top of this league, let alone remain at the top. I have to give credit credit is due. Well done Barracudas and Pride, you deserve this. See you both next season.

Looks like [TEAM] won Season 81 Challenge Cup! So who won and why? What could the other team have done differently to change the result? What was your favorite part of the series?

As I am sure everyone knows, the San Francisco Pride are yet again the Challenge Cup winners. Congratulations, San Francisco. A heck of an accomplishment. I am still a little sour about losing to the Pride in the Western Conference finals, I felt we gave the Pride their toughest series, and with a little bit of luck, we could have maybe stole the series. But alas, it wasn't in the cards for the Specters, the Pride beat us fair and square, just like they have done 16 times in a row. Crazy. Nothing but respect for the team. I hope the Specters can take the Western mantle next season, and maybe follow in their footsteps.
