Honestly, it would be very tough to count out either of these teams in the final. There is a reason why both the Edmonton Blizzard and the Hamilton Steelhawks are in the finals right now, and it is because they are so dominant on the ice. But personally, the New England Wolfpack made some interesting moves recently and they would have my vote to go the whole length next year and be dominant once again. Slap McShotty and Ola Wagstrom were already one of the top duos in the league. Along with Eko Van Otter, they are pretty young and have a great amount of TPE, and some will also not regress. Add in Rex Kirby on defense, a newly acquired Benjamin Blue in net. I think they personally bolsted their lineup to a point where it will be tough to take them down, and then even more tough to try to beat them 4 times in a 7 game series. If someone can, hats off to them. But they take my vote at this stage of the season.

Both teams have deep rosters that excel in their own way. You can easily name a defenseman from either top pairing to take home the Scott Stevens award. You can then look at their forwards and say the Ron Mexico and Jeff Dar is in place for either team and they will have to fight it out. Let us not forget how teams build their rosters, starting from the back. The John McBride can go to either Canadian team. But personally, the one award that I think Flacko Lagerfield or Tony Pepperoni will fight for will be the Sarmad Khan award. The excellence that they have, and the way Lagefield also dominated the regular season by leading the league in points and offensive game ratings he just gets my vote. But who is second in the league with offensive game ratings? You guessed it, Tony Pepperoni. They are weapons and effective on the ice and everyone can see that.

The great award that I have come up with should be named the Simon Tremblay award. Why the Simon Tremblay award you might ask? Well because if it wasn’t for him, we would not be using FHM as we speak. Also, I am pretty sure that is the simmers name when I watch the streams so it has to go hand in hand. The award would be given out to the best analytical player in the regular season. It could be broken down into Offensive and Defensive awards, but I think with the amount of advanced stats that are available to us with the new sim engine and how analytics are so present in the modern day NHL and SHL, it would be cool to give out awards to people who excel in that field. More of like the unsung heroes because sometimes analytics go under the rug. I wish I knew who to give it out to because I do not really understand analytics and how the sim engine outputs it, that’s where the brains in this league come out and see and the committee does their voting as a whole so it isn’t biased.

I know a lot of people on here are not from Quebec so they probably do not know this show but one of the funniest and dumbest shows at the sametime that I enjoy watching is called Occupation Double, it is pronounced in french but spelt the same almost. It is pretty much a bunch of different women and men who go on and try to find love and become a couple in order to win the prize of a convo and a bunch of other stuff. I think my player would be good at that because it is all about playing as a team and well, you get to hookup with a bunch of hot women. So it is a mix of different things that I enjoy and with the fame from playing hockey in the SHL, it would be easier for me to meet someone and converse with other people on the show. Plus, I think I would be a pretty big catch for the girls who are puck bunnies and tend to be puck bunnies from Quebec



A. Tony Pepperoni is the easy one here. He not only leads the playoffs with the most points, but he also leads the playoffs with the best Game Rating and Offensive Game Rating compared to everyone else. Just goes to show how dominant he is on the ice. Also, if you look deeper, you notice how he is averaging 27 minutes a game thanks to all those overtimes he played in and is still managing to be a plus 4 in these playoffs. Goes to show that he produces more than he concedes when he is on.
B. Edmonton to me. Looking at the official stats of hits and shots blocked, you can notice that Edmonton tends to be hitting more and blocking more shots. So yes, the Hamilton Steelhawks have the better ratings when it comes to players, but the stats and the production on the ice seems to be favored to the Edmonton Blizzard. So I would have to take the team who is ahead in speed and acceleration aswell as hits and shots blocked compared to the individual ratings of Balance and Strength
C. Most people draft according to the hits and shots blocked categories, well atleast I do and it seems to work for me so I can not complain. But the league leaders in points these playoffs seem to be well ahead of everyone else so it seems pretty easy to go with the attackers of Tony Pepperoni, Barrett Blackwood and Robert Phelps. Pepperoni especially with his large amount of hits helps build a great base. On defense, we going to have Karlstrobe Scholz and Gabriel Johnson. Both leading their team in points aswell as racking up a large amount of hits and shots blocked, over 20 in both categories gets those secondary points. And I am going to go with Geezus Khryst in nets. He is second with Goals Against Average aswell as second in Save Percentage, and also makes a lot of saves.
D. Well I think this is easy for me to answer just because I am from Montreal. If you do not like snow and you are from montreal, what is wrong with you? Also, big hockey fan and hockey player so snow and arenas is what it is all about when it comes to Quebec Winters. Talking about Kaspars Claude for a second aswell, he comes from Latvia who has very cold winters but not too sure about the winters down there. Just, as a hockey player, you get accustomed to the cold and the snow so you embrace it as a culture rather than complain about it
