Well @JSS  it was a good year for Kristaps Ball if I say so myself. What I accomplished is being the best defenseman in the league by leading defenseman in points and also leading the league in shots blocked. Pretty good if I say so myself. Obviously I'm strong at scoring and putting my body on the line, better than anyone else in the league really. What I need to improve on is well not much, but I would like to score more, I guess. I'm already pretty fucking good, I don't know what else to improve, so I'll score more. I could get more hits too I guess, but checking is my weakness and I can't be bothered to dump TPE into it. My role for S49? Well it's simple, I don't want to be taken off the ice, I wanna average 60 minutes a game. But in reality, I want to be the number one defenseman that plays in all scenarios no matter what.


Well, it's been awhile since I was called up, but when I was called up I wanted to be an all around amazing goal scorer. This is when Kristaps Ball was still a winger, however, and not a defenseman, so lots has changed since. But I was hoping for Kristaps to get like 25-30 goals a season consistently in his prime, to be the guy the other team game planned around to try to stop you scoring, but fail to do so. I guess I was trying to model my game after current Cameron Carter II, or maybe Flacko Lagerfield but without the hitting. I wanted to get scoring as high as possible, then get things like puck handling, skating and defense as high as possible too, as well as passing so I can still get lots of points. It's fun to think about how my player and time here would be different if I was still chasing that build instead of being the best defensemen in the league, but I'm happy with how Kristaps has turned out to be.


Do you like hockey? Do you like historic sports moments? Do you like hard hitting and fast skating? High scoring, constant star power dominating the ice? Or strategic coaching by some of the best managers in the league? If you say yes to any of these questions, you need to watch the Challenge Cup Finals between the Buffalo Stampede and Winnipeg Jets! Watch as these two great franchises look to expand their trophy cabinet in a sure to be thrilling and hard fought series! Every day there is a breath taking play by play that will bring you right into the action! There is nothing better than hockey playoffs!

I would have @Toivo do the ad because he's the only podcast I listened to this season. Also because my ad is shit and I think it would be funny to have Toivo do the ad, but also because I think the ad would actually work out on his podcast and get more viewers for the finals.


In S33, the New England Wolfpack faced off against the Calgary Dragons in what would be a win for the Wolfpack, but I can't find how many games it was won in since the indexes are dead and neither of the teams in their history post say how many games. The Calgary Dragons were looking to win their second straight cup after winning one the previous season, while the Wolfpack were looking to win their third cup in four seasons after winning it in S30 and S31. This series was a tale of two dominating franchises in the league and a cup final between the two of them was highly anticipated and eagerly hyped, and it (probably) didn't disappoint. The Wolfpack were able to pull through and win the cup on the backs of players like Raven Silvering, who was 2nd team all SHL that season, and their goalie Mikke Laukkenen, who was 3rd team all SHL. They also had helped from younger players like Toivo Kosonen, who was on the all rookie team. This cup helped cement the Wolfpack as one of the leagues best dynasties in the leagues history and made the Wolfpack one of the best teams in the league history as well. The Dragons are also up there, with many cups to go with their name as well, and this finals series was definitely a historic one. (Link to thing: http://simulationhockey.com/showthread.php?tid=76032)
