1. If the season 52 playoffs happened a different way the New Orleans Specters would be hoisting up the championship. Each series for the specters would have been blowouts until the finals where they would have beat the Buffalo Stampede in seven games. The battle of the s45 expansion teams finally happened and it was one for the record books. This final will be the most watched in the history of the shl and the Play by play would have the most views ever for the game seven game. The two players who will solidify their hall of fame careers in this series will be Nicholas Williams who went off with a dominant twenty one points in seven games and the specters legend winger Joe K, who scored twelve goals in seven games to cap off an amazing career. Joe K would go onto announce his retirement after scoring the game winning goal in overtime in game seven. (3)

2. If I was put in charge of creating the casino odds for season 53 then I would first have to consider how the new sim engine works and look through the new attributes that players will putting their earned points into. After factoring all of that into my decision then I will predict the best team in the league. I will predict that the New Orleans Specters. The Specters would have seven to one odd to win; thus, meaning if you bet one hundred dollars then you would get seven hundred dollars. I made this selection because on paper before any games have been simmed they have the best top nine in the league and they have a young and constantly growing top four defensemen core which only will make them better as the season goes on and the players earn more attribute points. The worst odds would be to the Hamilton Steelhawks as they are cheaters. (3)

3. The one attribute I want to focus on the most is passing. I want to be a playmaking defenseman who has the ability to might tight passes in the offensive and defensive zone. The quicker I can make the pass the quicker the puck gets up the ice and I pick up a few secondary assists. Passing will also be important on the powerplay and I can assume the quarterback role that a lot of teams are missing in this league; this will give the Specters an advantage. Passing will also help set up my teammates better so that they can further their development. (2)

6. I would not be in favor of this super bowl type championship. Team’s play the all fifty regular season games to earn their respected seed; the better the seed the more home ice advantage they have during the playoffs and I think if this was taken away we would see more teams rest players and not take the regular season that serious because the fifth seed and the first seed would have the same home ice advantage if the SHL championship was played like a super bowl. Also, the fans wouldn’t be able to see their team play if the “super bowl” wasn’t near them. (2)
