The reality that I would want is that the New Orleans Spectors didn't blow it in the semi-finals and they would have closed out that series in Game 6.  We always seem to choke in game sevens so it would be great to never play in one of those again.  In this reality we blew out the San Francisco Pride in that game six.  I do not mind much who we play from the East, but since SDCore is my boss I will say Chicago made it into the finals in this alternate reality.  New Orleans wouldn't even play around with getting close to a game seven in this new Challenge Cup matchup, and they would sweep the Chicago Syndicate in four games.  Jimmy Slothface would score a 100 goals per game in the series, and he would be awarded with the key to every city in North America.  The Spectors would hold a grand parade in the city and it would be bigger than Mardi Gras.  It would have been a fitting send off for SimonT.

I actually had to go check my update to answer this, and it looks like my highest attribute right now is Offensive Read, followed by Stamina of all things.  I do not really know what I am doing with FHM despite owning the damn thing.  I really just looked at builds of existing NHL players in FHM and tried to make an informed decision around that, but I have no idea if it will pan out.  I think Offensive Read will be good because it will allow my overall offensive game to flourish.  At least I think it will?  And stamina will be good because it will make sure I can keep playing at a high level late into games (and possibly seasons?).  I do not know if FHM degrades your skill levels based on stamina, but it seems like a decent bet that a good player would need good stamina in hockey.  I am hoping this engine is more lifelike than SimonT was.

This is going to be tough to answer because I think FHM will throw the Casino and fantasy hockey into a bit of chaos since it will be tough to know how teams are going to perform under the new sim engine.  I would have to give the best odds to the New Orleans Spectors because I am an unashamed homer.  We have consistently been one of the better teams in the Western Conference, making the playoffs every single year of our existence and performing pretty strongly in every regular season.  As per the recently released prospect rankings by the great Luke, we also have a bevy of good prospects in our system that will be joining us in the upcoming seasons to further solidify the base we already have with veterans.  I think we also have smart members so we will be able to handle the transition to FHM well (at least I am crossing my fingers that we do).  Some other teams do have people who test like crazy but I think we can make it work.  As far as the worst odds I would say.... Toronto I guess?  No disrespect but I think they are still in the rebuilding stage.  Maybe?  I think it will be tougher in FHM to have a good team without a bunch of active players so I think Toronto may take a season or two to get adjusted to the new sim.  I actually really don't know that is a guess.  I think I saw someone say in a FHM sim the team didn't do great, but who knows what builds that person was testing with.  But I had to go with someone, sorry Toronto.

I would say that Dominic Montgomery and Leo Lockhart are going to have many individual awards in their future.  They are coming into their primes of their careers and they are already fantastic defenders for the San Francisco Pride.  Even just this past season Leo put up an insane amount of power play goals from the blue line for San Francisco.  It will be tough with both of them battling each other for awards as they play the same position, but I am sure that they can learn to share all of their future accolades.  It seems like the Pride have a very good young core moving forward and these two will be instrumental to their success!

I am for the idea, anything that can help the environment is pretty cool to me. One draw back is that it would be expensive for fans of each team to fly to whatever the destination is and watch multiple games and such. On the other hand, it would be a very nice vacation for some people if they can afford it, but I would like to see if it forces some fans out of the equation. But there could be a lot of festivities at a destination series, and I think the Super Bowl shows how big of an event it could really be. And if it lowers our carbon footprint I am for it because larger corporations should be doing these sort of things since they create the most waste.

I like the San Francisco Pride's logo the best of the two, mostly because I like the colors a lot more than Manhattan's. Also I like the way the Lion is done versus the Bull on the Rage's side. The colors work well with the overall logo for the Pride and I think it is a good brand for ice hockey.
