FOR. Despite the Karmic implications, @notorioustig is due, and this team is straight up slapping. Since the hot start that everyone is going on about, Detroit is 17-4-1. Those 17 wins are more than only two other teams have ALL YEAR. All but a few of their losses have been games where they outshot and outplayed thier opponents, but FHM decided the opposing goalie would stop 60 shots. Anything can happen, but this team feels like they are on the warpath.


This feels like it should be an easy FOR, but I am going AGAINST. Flacko Lagerfield (@JSS) is tearing it up on the Steelhawks in his elderly age. Wagstrom is a superstar, and very well may catch him (5 games in hand at this moment, and 4 points back) but I think Lagerfield gets it despite his trade demand to get away from Gabe.

FOR. But only so the SHL gods can give Toronto the best lottery odds and then have ML lose the 1st overall pick.


AGAINST. Slip McScruff (@Scrufdaddy) of the Winnipeg Jets is the man you are looking for. Leading the league in grit (hits+SB) he is the toughest and grittiest guy in the SHL now.


FOR. Duh. But it will actually be Jobin (@"Awesomecakes") our All Star goalie that will win MVP. Or maybe that Williams scrub, IDK.

FOR. I don't think there is any way that they catch up to San Fran, especially looking at the goal differential, the Pride have a clear advantage over NO unless they choke down the stretch.

AGAINST. I think that one of them should win, but I also think that they will end up splitting votes from committee members, and that Ivan Maximus will end up taking home the award, just by virtue of being the only skater. He deserves it with 28 points so far, but his -14 is ugly. Probably due to playing on Texas though.

AGAINST. No one is currently on pace to do this, and I don't buy anyone picking it up enough to catch the record. We may have a few that are close, but no one will get 60.

This is tempting because New England could straight up dominate the fools, and Texas could be so bad that they get blown out most of the time, but I am choosing AGAINST. It has to happen, especially with fatigue, that either NE will go to OT and lose with a lesser team, or Texas will force OT against a better but tired team and lose.

AGAINST. Just because there is more parity in the West does not make them better. The East has Detroit, head and shoulders the best team in the league. St. Louis also has the most TPE by team after trading for Indigo Trevino, and are a solid squad with a 425 goalie. They are probably the two best teams on paper, with Kelowna coming in third. Newfoundland has been outperforming their TPE, and while Carolina and Maine have not been good this year, points wise they are about on par with the bottom of the West. 

Code:

FOR. LAP has some filthy depth, and I think they get it done. They are in a virtual dead heat in terms of points and goal differential with Edmonton, but LA will get it done on the backs of their superstars.
