Beast dads on here thinking this win added a few inches to their junk

MNS is a solid team with both strengths and weaknesses. Kids are not very strong, but coach is great. Their biggest strength—and weakness at the same time—is their extreme dependence on the goalkeeper. He may not be the best in Toronto, but he consistently stops almost all weak and mediocre shots, something many other goalies struggle with. Other teams need to create a high-quality scoring opportunity to get past them, which not everyone is capable of doing.

I can’t quite understand the phenomenon of Beast, VR, and to some extent, VP. Beast has only a few strong skaters and no standout players, yet they play exceptionally well. They create numerous scoring opportunities every game and maintain a tight defense. Despite having slow defenders, they allow very few chances against them.

On the other hand, the Rangers and, especially, the Panthers are by far the fastest teams in the league. Their players are skilled, play aggressively, and seem well-coached. However, both teams are inconsistent—they can lose to anyone, miss a lot of shots, and overall, it feels like they are underperforming.

#4's dad isn't a hockey guy. He doesn't know the game. Don't blame the kid. Maybe sharpen his skates dad.

You contradict yourself here.. if VP and VR are so skilled and fast then they’re clearly not well coached if they’re underperforming.

Not accurate.

MNS has a top C, either best in loop or top 3. He’s very fast and very good at evading the defence. When he dekes out the goalie he scores 99% of the time but doesn’t have a good on the go shot. And the best D-man, big, physical, can shoot and very rarely makes mistakes. The other even bigger one is good too and dont let his size fool you he can skate but doesn’t choose to which is a problem. Then they have 4 who thinks this is Disney on Ice he’s got better edges than figure skaters showboats like crazy. They have a couple more forward who can skate but the rest of the team is A or should be. The coach is a miracle worker.

The Beast have their star forward 11 and the big D Peter and one solid goalie. The rest are well coached but there are some weak kids especially the small ones on D who should go to A with the MNS crew. You have to play a short bench especially on D to deny chances to MB forwards who don’t have great shots but are tenacious in front of net. FT do this successfully. MB might be best team on the boards.

The Panthers have the best assembled team but something is off there right now too bad it’s playoff time.
