(shoutout to @Jexter for the name)

Good day eh, were you too busy to tune into the SHL streams this week? Didn't want to watch or couldn't get to your screen in time? No worries, I gotcha covered for these playoffs, I will be recapping each round of the playoffs and breaking down each series game by game so that you can stay up to date on the happenings around the SHL.

If you are familiar with the Squidcaps I've done for the SMJHL playoffs before, I will be doing something similar for the SHL and may be trying to turn it into a weekly thing. Recapping who has done what, outstanding performances, and trying to keep you informed about sim-related happenings. The goal is to make it an easy way to refresh yourself or be informed on happenings around the league without having to tune into every sim or check the index for each game yourself.

This week we will be recapping the 1st round of the SHL Playoffs. (not including the re-sim)
