Pretend that your team has hit an injury bug - the roster is so depleted that your coach is asking you to play out of position. What position is your coach asking you to play and what about your player build will help you be successful in this new role?

Defense, all the way! I have a high defensive rating, and my only accolade is winning the WJC gold, and I played out of position in defense for that tournament. Mind you that was with the tournament MVP as my partner, so I think everything should work out as long as I get paired with an MVP Caliber player... so probably either Adam Barron, or FR Finn-Rhys would do nicely.
A few other peaces that would fit nicely as a defense, is I love to hit, so I can plaster those forwards on the boards, my shot has been getting better and better so I could just blast away from the point, and Karl loves his pasta. So, if he gains a few he gets a harder shot, heavier hits, it's really a win-win.
I suppose left wing wouldn't be too far of a stretch as I'm already a winger anyways, and it would give me more of an angle to shoot. (162)

The Most Generic Prompt of All Time - what is your player looking forward to in the offseason? What are they planning on doing? Training? Relaxing? Testing free agency? Whatever it is, let us know!

Karl is looking forward to the WJC's this offseason, and his first step on international ice with the IIHF. He's feeling good about pulling on the new colors, Blue and Yellow, for the first time. He's always been interested in Sweden, and now that he's on the team the offseason might be a very good opportunity. Once those tournaments are all finished it's time for some fun in the sun! We're talking about wrestling meth heads and meth alligators. practicing leather working to make some nice alligator skin boots for my friends.
I suppose I could hit the training facility and get ready for my rookie season in the SHL, so I'll do a few laps in between punching alligators. work on my positioning a bit, speed and my silky smooth hands and watch out league, Karl's making noise!
Finish up the summer with some nude sun tanning to get these cheeks nice and toasty, and we have ourselves a wonderful offseason! (162)

Which player from Hamilton or Edmonton 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?

FR Finn-Rhys is going to be a top defense in the league for a long time, and I think he will start getting up there soon. He already has hardware in the form of WJC MVP and best Defense, and SMJHL top Defense. Those accolades are going to follow and continue to flow and before too many seasons are done, we will be seeing that name consistently among the annual nominations. Playing along side FR for a few seasons I was able to get a view into his talent and humility and those are the guys who go on to be exceptional. (102)

A. Tommy Tuck posted a better SV% during the regular season, but Geezus Kryyst has been lights out during the playoffs. Which team has the advantage in goal for this series?

B. Edmonton averages more hits per game than Hamilton, but also more PIMs - and Hamilton has proven pretty deadly on the power play this postseason while the Blizzard's PK has struggled. Be the coach: should Edmonton stick to a physical style of play or back off a bit in this series?

C. Who is your X-factor skater in this series? Who's got the intangibles? Who's gonna step up for their team when it matters most? Why do you think so?

D. Which player name is your favorite from the rosters of these two teams? (not your favorite player, but your favorite name)

E. WOULD YOU RATHER: (a) eat a Pepperoni pizza with Tony Pepperoni (debatably cannibalism), (b) get a nice long hug from Teddy Cuddles, (c) have Tor and Tommy Tuck tuck you into bed at night, (d) do squats with Hugh Jazz, (e) have a tug of war with Tig, or (f) have Aaron Wilson uncover a brand new strategy for your team to use? Why?

A) Hamilton has the goalie advantage. Regular season means nothing other than getting you in the playoffs. After that happens it is all about getting hot at the right time, and staying hot long enough to endure the schedule. With that said, it's possible the Hamilton goalie cools a bit, and Edmonton heats up. Who knows? Only time will tell. (59)
B) You stay with what got you into the finals. Now is not the time to change things up and an aggressive hard hitting style with a lot of penalties got them here, so they need to live or die by their game, because if they change it up now they are going to take a punch in the teeth from Hamilton and may not recover. (65)
C)FR Finn-Rhys is the xfactor. He plays 3rd pairing minutes, so he is coming in fairly fresh. He is one season removed from being the best Defense in all of the SMJHL, so you know he has talent. And he already has 1 cup ring so he absolutely knows what it takes to get the job done. He is like a spring loaded jaguar just waiting to pounce, and Steelhawks might fill his appetite. (74)
D) Favorite name would have to be Al Kayhall. I was blown away earlier this season when the entire Raider LR realized at once that his name is a joke. I assumed they all got it right away (like immediately after draft right away), but either way it was a fun experience. He has it all, a legitimate enough sounding name, but with the twist that it could appear as a joke name in the Simpsons for crank calling Moe. (79)
E) Eat a pepperoni pizza with Tony Pepperoni, ideally made by Tony Pepperoni so it is for sure authentic! I think this would be a great meal either out at a bar, or perhaps even pregame, but pregame might have some nasty burps on the bench. Nice long cuddle with Teddy Cuddle is definitely a close second. Cuddles are the best. (60)
