This team has been my most frustrating. It's been the highest power ranked team I've had since almost the very start, and does well during the regular season (this season was my 4th dominance trophy with them), but other than the 1 MetrohoCup (season 5), they've never even made the finals until this season. Definitely the choke artists of my 3 teams.

This is how the finals matchup stacks up:

New Bedford Hax (#11, 3 Dominance, 2 Finalist, 41-31 this season)

Akbar (94, Sniper) - Schwinghammer (91, Playmaker) - Rawls (93, Power)
Ermitano (90, Two-Way) - Mugg (91, Playmaker) - Engelking (90, Sniper)
Kao (88, Power) - Smerkar (83, Playmaker) - Vilardi (89, Sniper)
Wascom (80, Sniper) - Wettach (76, Playmaker) - Pry (83, Power)

Sabbagh (92, SaH) - Spice (94, SaH)
Tibbles (89, SaH) - Clearman (88, SaH)
Miyata (83, Offensive) - Hoopes (88, Offensive)

Hardigree (94, Stand Up)
Avalos (91, Hybrid)

vs

The Hunters (#3, 4 Dominance, 1 Metroho Cup, 48-24 this season)

Newville (95, Two-Way) - Boda (96, Playmaker) - Boyd (92, Sniper)
Genous (90, Two-Way) - Caylor (92, Playmaker) - Saka (91, Sniper)
Steinmeyer (87, Two-Way) - Villarin (85, Playmaker) - Harger (91, Sniper)
Getty (82, Two-Way) - Schwager (83, Playmaker) - Ayo (80, Two-Way)

Harger is my rental and ideally I'd have a sniper on the 4th line RW. I've got a guy who is close (Gallwas, 79) but will need to hit the 80 OA to get inserted into the lineup.

Piatak (92, SaH) - Scheidegger (91, Offensive)
Sudbeck (85, SaH) - Carethers (90, Offensive)
Lienhard (85, SaH) - Nevares (83, Offensive)

Dancey (94, Hybrid)
Hohlfeld (94, Hybrid)

My best hope is for his starting goalie to go down, but assuming that (likely) doesn't happen this really has the makings of a 7 games series (I really hope I don't get swept, I think the last time I met him in the playoffs he beat me 4-1, oye).
