16. Trivia, 3 TPE: gokraken

14. Written, 2 TPE: Congratulations to the New Orleans Specters! It was honestly such a daunting task to take on the Hamilton Steelhawks and to attempt to come out victorious, but they did it regardless! In terms of a Simulation Hockey League Challenge Cup Finals Series Most Valuable Player, my personal and humble vote would most likely go to Jimmy Slothface, as they continuously fought vigorously to bring the victory back to New Orleans in such a fantastic manner. There is no way to argue against such an amazing player on the ice getting this most prestigious award, Slothface has earned it both on and off the ice.

1. Written, 3 TPE: Joseph Weston of the Calgary Dragons, my own unique and first generation player, first of his name, did not have nearly the best sophomore season as he, Joseph Weston, would have liked. Joseph Weston would have liked to produce more offensively while not being such a liability on the defensive side. This is obviously such a vague desire understandably, but still such a disappointment for Weston's development. Weston is proud that he was able to improve his defensive game in some aspects at least. This way Weston can continue being a power at both ends of the ice, despite the realities of training being a real circumstance that Weston must wrap his mind, and heart, around. Weston needs to be better of course, and this is something he has always strived to be. While regression is still a long ways off, there is still much to be done for Joseph Weston before that beast rears its head.

3. Written, 2 TPE: Sergei is an interesting case. There's no reason for anyone to think that something wrong has happened to Sergei, is there? He might just be enjoying a vacation, like one where Sergei has bought a boat that happens to have sails on it, maybe a sailboat, and is sailing around the Mediterranean Sea having a grand old time. Why would we just assume that there is something wrong with Sergei? That seems like such a defeatist attitude, we should instead be happy and thinking that Sergei is enjoying himself. He has great family and friends to look after him, after all.

8. Written, 3 TPE: After failing to win the Challenge Cup in such an excruciatingly painful sweep, the Hamilton Steelhawks General Manager came forward at a press conference to offer the following words: "We don’t have any words and we know you don’t want to hear them. We understand your anger, your frustration, your sadness. Everything you’re feeling – we get it. This isn’t the ending we imagined, and certainly not the one we wanted. Thank you for being there the entire way." Now obviously this is such a ridiculous parody of what has happened in both reality and fictional hockey universes, but after the outbursts some of us heard about this is probably the much better look for the Hamilton Steelhawks. You know what they say and all, haha ghost test simming go brrrrrr.

13. Written, 3 TPE:

a. Cain has the largest advantage in net that anyone has ever seen. The memes that stand behind AC in net will overwhelm the ability of Hamilton to shoot and score, Cain will absolutely dominate the goalie battle here. There is no way that Kryyst has any sort of potential to live up to the challenge here.

c. Re-actively answering this question makes me want to burst out laughing because of how obvious it is. There is no circumstance where anyone should want to have the better overall stats compared to the regular season match-up stats, and the testing done has proven it. NOLA didn't just sweep the regular season, they swept Hamilton in both the Regular Season AND the Challenge Cup finals, honestly that's just embarrassing.

d. Lmao who would pick Hamilton? Who, outside of those who live there, has ever even heard of Hamilton? New Orleans would be a beautiful sight to see, especially around the Spring when Lent is coming up? Getting to visit New Orleans on an all expenses paid vacation would be such a dream, spent seeing the old town and all the history there.
