Obviously in an alternate universe Buffalo is winning the Challenge Cup. There's no reason the Steelhawks swept the Stampede unless they cheated so Buffalo will take the obvious win in 7 and Hamilton won't be in the finals like they are currently. NOLA didn't cheat either and still lost to LA albeit much quicker, probably in 5. Also Calgary beat Edmonton in 7. Because I predicted that. The Calgary/LA matchup is a lot closer, with Calgary ultimately winning in 6. New England sweeps Manhattan and meets Buffalo only to lose in 6. This leads to a Calgary/Buffalo final. It is very heated but ultimately the Stampede run over the Dragons in 5. The MVP of the playoffs is Elizabeth Doyle who is called up after Cedric Robinson breaks his leg and the Stampede lose game one of the finals. Special mention to Monkey D. Luffy who scores 69 goals during the playoff run.


I don't think there will be any massive change in the top teams. Hamilton will surely always be there, and Edmonton will not fall off quite like Manhattan did. I predict Buffalo to challenge New England and Hamilton for one of the top spots. I also think NOLA will pick up and finally challenge for the cup. I have overrated Calgary in the past so this time I think they will be lucky to make it out of the first round as they would have been this season. We could definitely see Chicago start breaking into the top teams as well as the pride taking another stab. I don't see the true bottom teams like Toronto, Tampa, Minnesota, and Winnipeg making it out of their holes just yet. Especially Tampa who is on fire sale right now but poised for a bright future. Their players have gone to NOLA and Buffalo which is why I think those two teams will do better in S54.


My idea for a new award would be the Ola Wagstrom Award aka the You Tried Award. It would be awarded to the player who achieved the most without actually achieving anything worthwhile. In order to qualify you can't win MVP and you can't make it to the finals. Obviously Ola Wagstrom would win the award as he is about to lose out on MVP to Flacko Lagerfield despite having like 2000 more TPE and his team the New England Wolfpack similarly did not make it past Lagerfield in the playoffs. Could this be because Hamilton cheated? We may never know for sure. Am I a little salty that New England destroyed my bracket? Who is to say? Other awards Wagstrom will not win: Sergei Karpotsev Trophy, Jeff Dar Trophy, Turd Ferguson Trophy, Ron Mexico Trophy, Sarmad Khan Trophy. He will however win the Jay McDonald Trophy for most goals this season. Congratulations Wagstrom!



I was just watching The Disaster Artist and every Hollywood actor and their brother was in that thing. So I don't think it would be out of place for a random celebrity cameo. I think it would be especially funny with Disisdie Dayudie because he never takes off that mask. He should play an important character in the film but never acknowledge the mask. But the Panthers are full of characters like Max Mauldin, Gottlieb-Odilo-Dankward McZehrl, and Philipp Winter that would be cool to see. Plus since everyone is an awful actor in the movie they would fit right in. He's still a prospect but I would love to see my boy Jimmothy Wagenheimer on the big screen as well.


Edmonton's stadium has decided to sell BlizzPops, fancy new ice cream treats featuring some of your favorite players! You may have heard of some similar popsicle items featuring popular characters like Sonic the Hedgehog. Well we've created a similar product that features the faces of the Edmonton Blizzard players you know and love! We have Pepperoni Pops that look like Tony and taste like pepperoni! Bischoff? More like Biscoff Bite! This pop tastes like a biscoff cookie and is a fan favorite! The Julio Popolosh is black and white - cookies and cream flavored - after our beloved bovine skater! These products will absolutely not look demented like their counterparts and will genuinely look like the players you think they will! We even have Ham Pops to commemorate our Challenge Cup opponents! It's just a hunk of ham on a stick! Devour that Ham like our boys in blue will devour them on the ice!


a. The best player in the series is Tony Pepperoni. Lagerfield may be the regular season champ but Pepperoni is turning the Blizz into a force to be reckoned with during the playoffs. I had Calgary beating Edmonton in round 1 but Pepperoni completely carried them through. And their momentum continued to destroy LA. I think the team will rally around him and Hamilton will lose if they cannot bring him down.

b. Hamilton's balance and strength will give them the edge because Aaron Wilson said so. We all know that team is built exactly how they want it. On paper higher SPD and ACC seem to correlate with a higher GR but a high GR doesn't always equal a win. But only the two teams know exactly what they are expecting out of their builds.

c. Ideal fantasy team would be Kryyst in goal for sure, clear TPE advantage and carried my fantasy team. A D pair of Gabe Johnson and Karlstraße Scholz because they have been on fire so far this playoffs. And then finally a forward group of Tony Pepperoni, Robert Phelps, and Flacko Lagerfield. Between the 3 of them there is enough experience, TPE, and heat level to out-gun anyone else.

d. I hate snow. I've lived around the Chicago suburbs my whole life thus far and it fucking sucks. All it does is make everything cold and wet. It fucks up your car and makes it difficult to drive anywhere. Shit can't get plowed fast enough. Fuck snow angels and snowballs and shit this ain't the episode of Spongebob where they got those big ass snow forts the snow don't ever stick to nothing.
