Written Option 2: Playoffs are here and it is time to put in the next gear. Do you think your player can up their game to next level and how do they do it? If they were already playing their best hockey during the regular season, how do they ensure they can keep up the level of play through all of the playoffs?

While the San Francisco Pride was having one of their best season in franchise history, statistically speaking, Levin was having one of his worst seasons on the ice, finishing near the bottom in points for forwards on the team. That is not to say that he didn't contribute, but it felt like he was a step behind his line mates most of the time. His goal for the post-season is to continue contributing on the defensive side of the ice, being physical and harassing the puck carrier, while also contributing more often to his line's offensive attempts. He may not be the sniper that Logan Webb or Dominik Winters are, but he can distribute the puck like no one's business, so he needs to thread the needle and make the goalie move from side to side more often than he has in the regular season, in order to open up scoring opportunities. With the way the group has been playing, the Cup is within reach - we just need to take it up a notch.

Option 1

The futuristic leagues of the SHL and the SMJHL is not anything shady. Many people have been wondering how the players of these two leagues have never had any injuries in the many years of the leagues. Well the truth is simple and this information should be spread over all of the confused people of the hockey community. The solution is that the players themselves while joining the leagues have signed a contract that states that players should not have any intent of injuring any player or else they would be banned from playing on the ice again. Although this clearly has worked throughout the years, it has gone so far that even if the players injured another person by accident, they would automatically be kicked from the leagues.
While this never happened yet, it is true that players are scared to do big hits or even fight over the limit. Clearly, because of these reasons, of course not, it is not a simulation (or is it...).

Written Option 1

The league's lack of injuries makes perfect sense once you're clued into one of the secrets surrounding the Simulation Hockey League. In truth, all of the players are robots, made to appear and act just like actual people. Between periods, there are robotics experts ready to service any problems the players may have accrued over the course of the period, from torn cables to dented shin plates.

This isn't known by many - not even the players themselves. They all think they're normal people, as they've been programmed to forget anything robot-related as soon as it happens. They don't remember getting worked on during the intermissions, they just go back on the ice feeling strangely refreshed.

Players slowing down over time due to age is actually their internal battery running low. The players are all powered by cold fusion generators, but the technology isn't perfected yet, leading to lower and lower returns over time.

Anyway, it's perfectly fine to share this secret because you're programmed to forget it as soon as you're done reading.

My suspicion for how the injuries remain intense, but never worthy of missing a game for is that the players are actually part of a secret project run by the Canadian government. Even the non-Canadian players and teams, yes. They’re part of the Department K branch. But this project, named Weapon H, is tasked with the explicit purpose of crafting the greatest hockey players known to man. Grafting the strongest metals to bones, altering their mindscape to only think about hockey even outside of the games, you name it they’ve done it. To address the injury question, naturally fast healers are researched so that the knowledge within can be applied to all of the players within the league. It’s also why our players have exquisite Leadership, Temperament, Professionalism, etc. Weapon H has crafted the players to peak performance, and that means that we can’t have any beef outside the game affecting the gameplay.

Juan has been waiting three hundred and 365 days for the playoffs to return. He has spent the regular season coasting, using game time as cardio sessions added on to his workout. This is his last year and is on a stacked team who has 1 goal in mind, the four star cup. The smjhl is just now seeing his new first gear as Quebec prepares to claim what they've come so close to acquiring but has always slipped through thier fingers. Multiple years of regular season dominance followed by playoff disappointment has scarred thr owls, this year they didnt care if they won another laufier (they still did but thats beside the point) they knew they needed to save the gas for when it mattered. So after spending the regular season dominating at a coast Juan isn't worried about keeping up in the playoffs, he's worried there isn't anyone that can keep up with him.

Written Option 1:
Now, you may think this prompt has an obvious answer.... It's a simulation, right? I mean it's in the name. Wouldn't it make the most sense if nobody ever got injured because the SIMULATION hockey league is just a simulation? Well, if that's what you think, I hate to inform you that you are misguided. The simulation hockey league is as real as can be and all of the players ranging from "Patrice Bergeron" all the way to "Deth Claw" are all really battling it out day in and day out in order to win the Four-Star cup. Now, you would think with all these players and all these games there would be at least one player who missed a game due to injury... Right? Well, once again you'd be wrong. Just like how many of the players in the league seem like they are straight out of a cartoon, the same can be said about the training staff. If you've ever played any Pokémon games you've definitely heard of Nurse Joy and all of her family... All named Nurse Joy. Well, the Poke Centers don't pay like they used to and many of them have taken their talent to the SHL. Whenever a player suffers an injury that will take them out for a game, they a stuffed into a Poke Ball and then healed by Nurse Joy. The league only permits this in case of an injury as many teams would abuse it to help their players get more ice time.

Maybe the way the players of the Simulation Hockey League avoid injury is that the league actually keeps clones of every player frozen in cryo statis at each area. That way, when a player gets injured they simply "take them to the locker room" for evaluation, where they are promptly put down like the lame horse they are. The dead player is then incinerated before anyone is the wiser.

As one could imagine, the costs for doing this are immense. These costs are passed onto the teams and this explains why player salaries are so comically low in the SHL. This is kept a secret from the players, as it would cause extreme discontent if they knew they would be replaced by a clone when they had an injury as small as a stubbed toe. The cloned players are given the memories of the now deceased player they are replacing. The SHL commissioner deems this a necessary evil to ensure the product is not negatively effected by injuries.

Anastasia Söderström's playoff performance is a pretty low bar to clear after the unmitigated disaster of last year's campaign, and though she had a slow start to this season she's been adapting well to the greater responsibilities as the season has gone on. Heading into the playoffs, she's adapting to the increased pressure well. Other than last season's meltdown, Ana has always been a goalie who can really elevate her level of play for big games and get mentally dialed in and ready to play, which is an important skill for any goalie and especially one on an underpowered team. Practice is also the most important part of playoff hockey, and it's especially important when being able to focus is Ana's best trait when playing goalie. Last season, she let in some weak goals and struggled to find a groove after that, but she didn't have to worry too much about media because the team shielded her from having to talk to the press. This year, she's taken the expectations in stride and is thriving under pressure.

I have decided that the SHL and its subsidiary the SMJHL are just a giant science experiment. You see scientists and doctors have made repeated pushes into medical science through studying sports medicine and seeing just how far they can push the human body, but they found themselves needing to go deeper and have a large sample pool to pull from. Thus our league was founded and now these mad scientists just go crazy. Nothing is off limits as they pump these players full of drugs, steroids, and all sorts of experimental foods and nutrient slushes. If you can consume it, they've used it on these players to see how far they can push them. They didn't leave it there though as they began to experiment with cloning tendons and ligaments and even cartilage to replace on these players as they begin to age. And even decided to play god and elevated animals and some inanimate objects to see if they could also play with the best! Full on mutants, full on weird, full on experimentation!

(Option 1)

I don't actually think we prevent injuries in any way. My theory is that injuries happen pretty normally during the season, but the way they're handled is where it gets messy. Whenever somebody gets injured, they bring out a clone. Every single player is cloned at the beginning of the year, and whenever they get banged up the clone gets brought out to play. The clones don't have as much personality as the real players, they mainly focus on physical ability. Everyone on the team knows that it's a clone but the fans have no idea If those clones get injured then they have to clone the clone and it just becomes a whole big mess. They don't hire doctors though, there's no room for medical opinions in the SHL. We do it the old fashioned way around here, with clones and cloning those clones when people get banged up

Quote:Written Option 1: Despite high speeds, countless hits and blocked shots somehow no SHL player has missed a game to injury in who knows how long. How does the league do it? Are players pumped up with so many drugs and steroids that nothing can hurt them? Better doctors than money can buy to operate anyone during intermission? Clones? Is it all just a simulation?

The SHL accomplishes this through a three-pronged system that aims to curtail the biggest weaknesses of the human body and condition.

1) Copious amounts of drugs. Each SHL athlete is given an assortment of vaccines to start the season, ranging from protection against viruses like ebola and covid, to over sweating and stimulation. Every SHL player is constantly on death’s door, healthy enough to play hockey but so biologically zooted up to their eyeballs that a strong gust of wind could annihilate their immune system.

2) Spiritual introspection and acuity. All SHL athletes must undergo a rigorous regimen of eastern meditation and mind-awakening, overseen by a crack team of Buddhist monks, the kind that were banished from their original monasteries for being too hardcore.

3) The occult. The founder of the SHL, John Q. SHL, originally prayed to Satan to grant his athletes the physical fitness to withstand any injury or malady. Satan granted John this wish, on the condition that the SHL must always have an outlet of evil on its forums, namely the thunderdome. It has long been said that closing the thunderdome would anger Satan and cause him to renege on this deal, though nothing has happened so far.

So many seasons in this great league known as the Simulation Hockey League aka the SHL have passed and with them comes no injuries whatsoever which is a big shock to so many people watching because wow players like Sim Wen out there are willing to just get down and block shots and hit bodies and it looks like he has no regard for his own personal health which some fans love. The secret to this lack of injuries is that every player was sprayed with a special can of "Go Away Injury" that was invented by the miracle worker @micool132 back in '01 once they enter the league. This spray makes their bones like titanium and the rest of their body like some sort of mythical indestructible material. Some wonder if the players are even human at this point they've been tricked out so much but the league office doesn't care they just want their players out there providing entertainment so get those players the good stuff.

How does the Simulation Hockey League limit injuries? There's a few different ways to think about how this all happens here. The first is the most obvious one, all the players on the ice are super mutant teenage hockey players from the planet Orr. They've all made their way here to show the humans how to really play hockey, and the best part is they can't get hurt. At all. Because they're just holograms playing on the ice. But the most realistic holograms you've ever seen. Now that the obvious one is out of the way, let's think about it another way. Drugs, and lots of them. There are so many mind altering and body enhancing drugs out there that the SHL just turns a blind eye to. ANd you know what we get to avoid? the problems that the NHL has, no LTIR players who magically get hurt in january and all of a sudden are "healthy" when the playoffs start. Let's just leave it at those two.

This season has ended in heartbreak for the Toronto North Stars who were narrowly edged out of the playoffs by the Atlanta Inferno for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

While we may have to wait for S76 to see how much of an extra gear Brooklyn Physt has, we can look at this past season as well as her final season in the J for some clues.

First off, as a rookie Defenceman, Physt managed 40 points (team lead among Stargang Blueliners), under the tutelage of veteran Louise St. Martin. Both ladies play similar games.

Back in the J, 2 seasons ago, Physt lead the league in points for a Blueliner with over 60. In the playoffs that year it was a similar story and would go on to win the 4 Star Cup with the Colorado Raptors.

With all this in the rear view, we could expect that she would have to make her mark in the playoffs next season both using her speed and fearlessness at both ends to create chances, as well as capitalize on Powerplay chances where a solid portion of her point production came from this year.
