Reflection on your season - how did your player fare on the ice this season? Did you meet or surpass your individual player goals or did you come up short? Whether you excelled or disappointed - what can you attribute that to? What will you try to do better next season?

I just had maybe the worst season in the history of the SMJHL. Not only did I have one goal, but everything else I did was a disaster and disappointment. Not enough shot blocks. Not enough takeaways. Too many penalty minutes. Just a trash player. And it’s not going to get any better. If anything it’s going to get worse. Not only is my build proven garbage, my team is going to get significantly worse. What a nightmare. Losing around five players. Lost our general manager to the SHL and I can’t afford any kind of redistribution. The real losers here are the Texas MUTHAFUKKIN Renegades. They picked MAS which was nice. Then an inactive. Then me, someone who should be inactive. No wonder dan retired. He saw my pathetic ass stumbling my way up the pipeline for inevitable failure. I guess you can say my season was ok....and the future looks ok as well...

This offseason will be extra exciting, as it features the rare expansion draft! Write about how you think the expansion draft will play out, either for one or both of the expansion teams or from an SHL team's perspective.

I think you have two big brains in hotdog and tig for the expansion draft. I figure both teams are going to end up decent. Probably one if not both, may start not as the worst team in the league. Which is saying something for how bad some teams in the league are. I don’t really know hotdog but they have been around a while and is apparently very important to the simulation hockey league website. Tig however I have know for years now which sounds weird. But it’s true. So I know he can run a team and have them perform well. Hopefully he can still field a decent team when he gets to keep his players for more than three or four seasons. I guess time will tell. I’ll be watching from Detroit with my popcorn hoping everything goes smoothly. And if it doesn’t, the site is no stranger to a good ole shit show. Good thing I already have the popcorn.

It's too late for this go-around of expansion, so hypothetically - should there be SHL franchises in other continents? I saw some interesting European proposals in the PT. Should these - or proposals for any other continent that's not North America -
become a reality in the

I don’t think it really matters. It’s pretend hockey. Who cares where the teams are from. I understand people like to keep it to North America to keep it “realistic”. But they do understand that one of the players in the league is a sentient grapefruit. There is other ridiculous shit that I can’t think of, just that signature of the picture of the grapefruit and it says grapefruit on it, and it was graded a five of five. In that sentence there were two things more silly than having a team not in North America so who gives a shit. Nothing personal against grapefruit....

Which SHL or SMJHL team was the best team to not make the finals this season and why?

You didn’t specify what best is pertaining to. So, the best team not to make the finals this season was the Detroit Falcons. Were they the best hockey playing team? No. Do they have the best hockey players on their team? No, they didn’t. Well then you may ask what’s my argument? Fuck you. That’s my argument. The Detroit Falcons are the best goddamn team to lace up skates and I’ll fucking shank you if you don’t humor me. They easily have the cutest bro’s, and they don’t take any guff. Half of their home games are in a strip club. Their yearly outdoor game is even in the parking lot. How much better can you be? You can’t. And that’s why the Detroit Falcons at the best team not in the finals.

What are your predictions for the upcoming IIHF or WJC tournament? What team do you think will win/surprise people/be bad/etc.?

I don’t thing there’s going to anything surprising this year internationally. USA or Canada will probably win gold. You will have teams like Great Britain, Ireland, Sweden and Chechia maybe even DACH looking for other medals. I’m not sure how I’m going to get enough words here. Shit I don’t even know who is on what team. Ok, the story of both tournaments will be Sweden winning both golds. Both teams are decent but it would be a surprise for either to win a medal let alone gold. So to hav eth both win would be great. I think the IiHF team is better than the wjc team, not just in better players, because they are better, not in juniors. I mea better quality players. Whatever, we are going to win medals. Everyone is going to say hey there goes teams Sweden they winning all the medals for adults and kids. And king Carl will rejoice....
