Which team has had the easier road to the cup finals? Do you think they could have made it to the finals if they were in a different division? 

The duo of Dominik Winters and Logan Webb currently lead SFP in scoring this postseason and have been top 10 in SHL scoring for the past three seasons. What makes them so special, and what does it mean for them to stay on top as a duo rather than a single successful player?

Despite being very heavily in regression, Tampa Bay’s Jølngüštrâädüvich DuBølk, Rikkert Biemans and Johnny Wagner-Svenson are still producing at very respectable rates. Is having depth players who can perform really well despite being low on TPE responsible for TBB’s recent success this and last postseason?

8 of the top 10 players by TPE on SFP are forwards, meanwhile 4 of the 6 TBB Defensemen are part of the top 10 players by TPE. Do you think it’s more important to have a core of powerful forwards or a core of incredible defensemen?

Your player gets added to a message group by accident and gets an unintentional invite to watch the finals live with the commissioners on their box. What does your player do and how does the situation evolve?

If you were commissioner for today (April 1st) what kind of announcement would you make?

Who you got? Who wins the Challenge Cup or Four Star Cup? Why?

Code:
9. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Finals Fiesta Faceoff

Of the two teams in the SHL or SMJHL playoffs, which would host the most banger party if the goal of the finals was to impress judges with the most stellar party. What would their party be like? What would impress the judges most? If your team isn’t in the finals, how would they one up the two finalists to have the coolest party ever?

Code:
10. Written, 50 to 200+ words. What do they do different?

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?

Code:
11. Written, 50 to 200+ words. It's About Time

Every season there are teams that seem to finally take that next step and be ready to make the push for the cup only to fall short and then be unable to improve or even stay at the same level as what they reached the season before. What teams did you think did better than what you expected this season, either during regular season and/or playoffs? Why do you think they exceed your expectations? Should they be even better next season? Do you think they can meet those raised expectations during next season? Can some of them become the next team that will make it to the finals 3 times in four seasons?

Code:
12. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Jenga

Expansion is once again a season closer and will potentially lead to each team losing three or four players. How do you think missing these players will impact different teams? Will it knock down the current competitors or maybe mess up the raising challengers? Do you expect those teams be able to recover with the assets available for them or do we finally see free agent movement like never before? What teams you would predict to be in cup contention for S83 and why?

Code:
13. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Old Reliable IIHF Analysis

Write your predictions for this year's IIHF tournament or WJC! Tell me about your team! What are your expectations for your player? What teams are you watching out for this time around? Did last season's results surprise you and how much do you expect them to change this time?

Code:
14. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Volatile Results

The IIHF has always been known to be hard to predict. Last season saw the 8th seeded Norway win the entire tournament after taking down 2nd seed Ireland, 3rd seed USA and 4th seed France. In season 77, we saw a similar situation with 8th seeded Ireland taking on 6th seeded Japan in the finals. How do you feel about the volatility of the IIHF, do you wish the series were longer so the stronger teams didn’t get upset as much? Or do you prefer the chaos that is single elimination?

Code:
15. Written, 50 to 200+ words.- The Procrastinator Special!

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?

In successful organisations, everything starts from the top. The winning culture is created by the owner of the franchise. In this case, the biggest reason too is that the owner of the Pride is very good in his task. He knows how to handle the players, GM's, coaches, managers, scouting staff and employees. Of course, Pride has too some quality players like Logan Webb who was monster in the regular season. Dominik Winters is good center, Sydney Shaw can move the puck from the blue line, Levin Schattedxg or whatever his name is written can bring some secondary scoring, Viktor Hargreeves is a proven two-way centerman, Oskar Scholz is very talented Danish winger, Mercedes Bayle is as fast as the Mercedes-Benz Car and can burn defenses that way, Filip Svatos is skillful Czech winger, Lucas Raymond is a Swedish diamond and in the net Justin Time is almost as clutch as Mat Smith was once upon a time. So, the player material gives them a chance to succeed but of course you need to have too some solid coaching. Bruce Cassidy is one of the best in the world at his job. He can really organize team defences without losing too much offensive firepower.

13. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Old Reliable IIHF Analysis

Team Finland is always a medal contender. Last season it failed to win a gold medal. It was a disappointment. This time they can go all the way and not lose in the playoffs. There are some youths coming up and ready to take bigger role. So, I would like to guarantee that it will be a better hockey team this year but in sports in general everything can happen and puck luck has a huge role too so I can not do that. I can just promise that it will give themselves a chance to win and hockey gods will then decide afterwards if it really wins or not a medal. Carpet in the net gives it a chance to beat other powerhouses every year. It is up to skaters and coaches to perform well too. When it comes to other teams, I expect big powerhouses like Canada, USA and Sweden dominate the event too year after year. The hockey culture is so incredible deep in those countries so they should contend for medals every season. Simply no excuses. Teams like Ireland, Japan and UK should not celebrate at all in the international stage. Maybe Switzerland always improves from last seasons. So, those are my excellent predictions and preview for the upcoming tournament.
