After a slow start to the regular season, the Dragons have surged of late and have rallied around the #CalgaWe notion of togetherness. On the other side, the Barracuda battled through a difficult East and are led by a very strong young core. Which team are you personally rooting for to take home the Challenge Cup and why?

I'm rooting for Tampa Bay and it is hard to do because JSS is a traitor. Luckily he didn't become a traitor when I was in Buffalo but that's the word around Buffalo that he is a traitor. But then Calgary are honestly a team of many boomers and I can't support a team that are boomers and also that like to cheat and then pretend to be innocent. I guess they are kinda like the Astros or something. They also once beat me when I was GMing in the finals and that one hurt though it hurt less than it would now because it was before all the confirmed rule breaking that they somehow only got slaps on the wrist for. Though someone on my team many years ago did tell us that he thought Esa was cheating regression. I now really do believe it though I don't have the energy to go on the old site and try to check. So by all that I do wish the Barracuda would become the champions of the SHL in Season 50!

Are there any changes to the playoff format you'd like to see implemented? More wild cards? Move to a single-elimination to bring about even more chaos? 999-game series to minimize chaos? Be creative!

Okay well I see in this question that you are trying to spur discussion with some unrealistic suggestions but I really think about a much needed legitimate change to the playoff format that is needed. That first play-in series should not be seven games long. It's far too long. It may be forced by the way Simon T is (I wouldn't be surprised because I don't like Simon T his simulation engine really is annoying) and that all playoff series must be the same length but these long play ins just extend the playoffs and further worsen SHL's already established problem of too much downtime after a season. The playoffs are long. The off-season is long. It can get very boring. I think even the playoffs could and should be shortened by simming the games in terms of how the schedule is (2-2-1-1-1) - that will cut down a full day of playoffs per series by simming the first four games in 2 game increments. I should actually propose this now that I think about how big brain this idea is.

As competition ramps up for the playoffs, players (both those still in and those eliminated) work extra hard to improve areas of their game that are lacking. What one area of your game do you really needs to focus on improving and how will this benefit the team?

It's so sad that we didn't make the finals - the Buffalo Stampede are an elite team but we will make it and win the cup in Season 51, let me tell you! I think I am a very good player, to be honest, but I do still have some areas to work on though I am improving quickly and am becoming an elite player, like one of the best ever and a future Hall of Famer. The area in which I am working to improve, though, is in rounding out my game to put allmy godly physical talents together to become a truly elite player that is elite among elites. I can skate well, I can hit well, I've been a turnover generating machine, I'm a great passer. Maybe I pass a bit too much so I must work on that one too. It can possibly help me lower my turnover numbers. When I can lower those turnover numbers and lower my penalty minutes (but not my fighting, I will fight and be the best enforcer the SHL has seen in our days of the hockey life), I can truly leave a great legacy for the youngsters to look up to and desire to live and be like.

Which player from Calgary or Tampa Bay would you bet on to win a regular season individual award in a future season? What player and what award? What makes you think they'll live up to their potential and take home the hardware?

For this one, I think I will choose the man, the myth, and the legend defenseman Nikolai Evans. He is becoming the team's top defenseman and he is so young that he can play at an elite level for a long time. He even has the award winning genes inside of his blood and organs as he is the relative, maybe even the brother, of former SHL MVP and Challenge Cup champion Zach Evans, who played a long time with the Winnipeg Jets of the Simulation Hockey League, not to be confused with the Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League! With Nikolai Evans' raw talent and his genes, I think he can compete for the Stevens Trophy soon and be a true Hall of Famer and maybe even win some cups and I agree it was said he couldn't win the cup in Season 50 but he is lucky he has a long time to go.

A. Each team enters these finals with a red hot superstar - longtime league legend Mike Izzy for Calgary and surprise breakout star Gunnar Soderberg for Tampa Bay. Which of these players will have a more dominant finals?

B. Kata Vilde and Benjamin Blue are two of the best goaltenders in the league - which team has the advantage in net?

C. Do you expect this to be a high-scoring series or a low-scoring series? A mix? Do you think it'll be competitive or will one team run away with it?

D. What's your favorite player NAME on either team? why? (note: not who's your favorite player. which player name)

E. If you could choose any one of the following four options, which would you pick? 1. A chicken parm sandwich from Esa 2. A tray of cookies from c00kies 3. A custom feet pic from JSS 4. An hour long stick and puck session with Jepox

D.My favourite name is Shooter McGavin II from the Tampa Bay Barracuda. What makes it great is that Shooter McGavin is on the Calgary Dragons so this can provide some confusion for us! Additionally, I will be so anxious to see if Shooter McGavin II can skip regression like the original Shooter McGavin! It's always nice to see SHLers like that spreading their seed.

E. I choose custom feet picture from JSS his feet are so interesting, you know? His toes are very long, like full hand fingers but on his feet! I wonder if he is human some days but I think that may be a different argument but if he can send feet pic I will study them in my laboratory so we can understand the anatomy of the JSS foot to learn more about prehistoric humans.
