For Sasha Dangelchek, I think it’d be best to focus on both offensive read and defensive read. I think hockey IQ is an important aspect of the game, and with these two attributes, Dangelchek will be able to excel in that. Additionally, as a power forward, I want to build up his checking and “getting open” abilities. I think these go kind of hand-in-hand, as a good check can lead to getting open. Once a player is open, he can join the rush and add an offensive threat to the game. I think by focusing on these attributes, which benefit both the offensive and defensive sides of the game, Dangelchek can become the best player he can be. – 118 words

So, our boy Sasha has generally decided in offseasons past to take it a bit easy. In retrospect, at this point in his career, Dangelchek knows that he needs to add a little bit more to his arsenal. He’ll spend a quick few weeks at home in Czechia, catching up with family and friends. You know, doin’ his whole Czech thing. But then, as the offseason goes on, he really plans to step up his training game. Focusing on some new attributes in the FHM system has given Sasha a new lease on training. He plans to work out and try to get skating time at least 5 times a week. Working on all of the new aspects of the game will certainly give him a lot of new things to focus on, and he really wants to win that 4 Star Cup in Season 53 with St. Louis in his last season in the SMJHL. Mr. Dangelchek is going to work hard to make that a reality. – 168 words

I’m all for the idea of reducing the carbon footprint and saving the environment, but I am definitely against this idea. It would destroy any semblance of home-ice advantage in the playoffs, and we all know that the players love playing in front of their own fans. I always thought it was a bit weird that the Super Bowl was in a neutral location anyway, although I guess the popularity of the NFL kind of means they can play anywhere. I think the SHL would lose a major selling point and attraction for fans if they moved to a rotating, neutral location. – 102 words

2. Generally, I’d recommend a more even distribution of lines for effectiveness in any playoff series. But in terms of ferocity, I’d say that the San Francisco route is better. Who wouldn’t want to see the best players on the ice more often, bringing the heat down on their opponents? It might not be the most effective strategy in terms of player strength and stamina, but it definitely brings a fiercer atmosphere to the game. – 74 words

3. I’d prefer San Francisco’s logo because lions are badass. The gold and purple also work well, because the king of the jungle, am I right? The lion logo is also kind of classic looking. I think the use of the lion logo and the Pride team name is also super clever which is always a bonus. – 56 words

4. I like William Goose on Manhattan. Who was one of the best characters of any movie of the 1980s? Goose in Top Gun. What’s one of the most heartbreaking parts of any movie ever released? Goose’s death in Top Gun. Who was one of the best damn guys to ever fly in the backseat of an F-14 Tomcat? Goose in Top Gun. I rest my case. – 66 words

5. So, I would choose the all-you-can-eat grape buffet with Grapehead, almost exclusively on the probability of this buffet including wine and grape juice. I love both wine and grape juice, and I happen to know that they pair quite well with grapes themselves. I don’t know Grapehead personally, but if Grapehead likes wine and/or grape juice, I’m sure we’d get along swimmingly. – 62 words

New England is surely the best
They usually rise to the test
But alas! This season
For some odd reason
They failed in their ultimate quest.


We are saying goodbye to Simon
And I think it’s with really good timin’
Because simulation
With no vindication
Sure leaves a lot of teams whinin’.
