1. In an alternate universe where SimonT would work properly and not sim completely randomly, the playoffs would not have unfolded the same way at all. First of all, LAP would not have choked against Calgary. That should have been in the bag for LA after winning the 4th game. Somehow, Calgary came back out of nowhere. The Panthers were the ones that could compete with SFP, and maybe the Pride wouldn't have gotten to the finals. The other clear matchup that could have went totally another way is Hamilton-Buffalo. Hamilton really should have been the winners here. They were among the best teams all season, and Buffalo got a wildcard spot in the playoffs. Somehow, they still won against the Steelhawks 4 games to 1, to then lose to the Rage. If Hamilton would have won, the Rage could have easily not win and again, the finals would be very different from what they are currently. (156 words)

3. For my player in FHM, I want to do a defensive defenseman again. After being bad for all the seasons I've played, I think that I could get a better chance of being kind of decent. I really don't have a lot of knowledge of FHM, so I'm thinking of doing a NHL player, probably somewhere close to Jeff Petry, but I feel like Jeff Petry still has maybe too much offensive stat, so i might turn that down a bit. I also really want to focus on defensive attributes, like checking, hitting, and I also maybe want to put a little tpe in fighting, just because I like doing fights. (111 words)

4. Simon LeBlanc is again going to go see his family back in Montreal during the long off season. He's going to have even more time this season, since the off season started early for Simon, as the Panthers were eliminated quickly. Besides meeting with family, LeBlanc also wanted to just play with kids from his neighborhood, and just have fun, like in the good old days. Simon also has to prepare for the next season. There's many things he wants to work on, so he will also spend a lot of time in the rink in LA, so that he's ready for the next season. LeBlanc is looking to work a little bit on his shooting, but also he really wants to work on the defensive aspect of his play. This upcoming season is going to be Simon's third, and he wants to start being one of the best defensive defenseman in the league. He has to start training for that though. (162 words)

14. 1. I think Manhattan, simply based on the fact that I like Luke as a person, so he's probably a good co-gm too. JayWhy is probably also a great human, since he hired Luke. Nothing against SFP management, they're probably very good too, but I don't know them that much and Manhattan's management just looks better. (55 words)
2. Again, I'll go with Manhattan. With Manhattan's strategy, their players are going to be much less tired compared to SFP. Having more energy is going to help out with points production. SFP relies too much on their top two lines, if one line has a bad night, all they have left is the other one. (55 words)
3. Both logos are pretty solid to be honest, but I think I will have to go with Manhattan's yet again. It's pretty much simply based on the fact that I like Manhattan's colors better. Maybe if SFP's colors would be different I would like their logo better. The purple and yellow just doesn't do it for me I guess. (59 words)
4. I would have to go for my bud Nathan Explosion. His name just embodies his play style : explosive. He just explodes people on the ice, crushing them with powerful hits. He's one of the few players whose name spread fear among the enemies. You do not want to be in the way of the explosion. (55 words)
5. I would go with b). Meeting Gritty is pretty cool on his own I guess, even though I'm not a Flyers fan, but with Luke too? Can't pass on that, it's a one of a kind experience, where as the other choices don't look too appealing to me, but this one actually seems like a great time. (57 words)
