You know what, the past three seasons, i was disappointed with my player for underachieving. However, this season he has definitely improved quite a bit. This season, my player notched 9 goals and 17 assists for 26 points. In addition to these, he also had 84 blocked shots. This is a great improvement from the 14 points and 49 shot blocks he had last season. In fact he almost doubled his points production and shot blocks. The success is due to upgrade in shot blocking and increased in passing and puckhandling from last season. I am also pleased that Zlatan Ibrahimovic jr. was top 100 in the fantasy score card. This is a great achievement for someone who was not even top 200 last season. I do believe that Zlatan can continue to improve his performance and he should be a bigger threat in s56. He will look to improve his offensive talent a lot more in s56.

In my honest opinion, I do not think that it is a great idea to have SHL franchises in other continents besides North America. Why you may ask? Actually it is very easy to understand. Geographically it will be too hard to accommodate teams when they have to play in different continents. Imagine someone from North America having to play someone from Asia. There will be definite jet lag and it will be tiresome on the players.Also since they are so far apart, it will be too costly for SHL franchise as well. Another reason is that it will be too complicating. We may need to create different sub leagues just like in soccer. Thinking about it realistically, it is not such a easy task. This is why i personally think it is better to have it just in North America and recruit players from other countries and continents.

The best SHL team to not make the finals in my opinion are the Edmonton Blizzards. The Blizzards are a great team as they have a solid core with high tpe players everywhere. In fact, they only have 1 player on their roster who is below 1000 tpe and that is their backup goalie so it doesn't even matter much. Everyone else are in their prime. The team swept the renegades and lost to New Orleans Specters in a game 7 death match. The New Orleans went on to compete in the finals against Buffalo stampede. As you can see, if a bit of luck was on the Blizzards side, i am almost certain they would have became victorious over New Orleans Specters and may have even won the challenge cup.

For my predictions on the upcoming IIHF tournament, lets start of with the obvious winners. Canada and USA are both so deep in the amount of players they have. I am sure one of these two will win gold and the Other will earn silver. If i had to predict, I'll put Canada above USA. So Canada with the gold and USA with the silver. Now for bronze, it will be a tough competitive match but I will give the edge to Great Britain. They have consistently been doing well and I don't think this season will be any different. Sweden also has a great roster and they have a stud forward in Ola Wagstrom. If the offense can continue to put up points, Sweden may even sneak into 3rd place. In terms of surprises, I think Japan will be really good. They have star players like Nicholas Owens, all the Smebs and Monkey D. Luffy. It won't take them long to turn on their engine and compete with the best. The team i feel will be bad is Latvia. They have been struggling for so long and I don't think anything will change this upcoming season as well.

a. Definitely Buffalo Stampede has the advantage. After all they have the 2K legend in Cassius Darrow, who killed the regular season. In addition, to him they also have Selic and poopity scoop who are also at a very high TPE. When we look at their young core, they have Nicholas Owens and August Wang. So buffalo stampede will be set for a while. The highest tpe defenseman in New Orleans is kirkby who has also been a beast during the playoffs. But overall their defense is not as solid as the Stampede's.

c. I don't know how these stats affect FHM. I am also not the best when it comes to this sim engine but in my opinion it might serve as a disadvantage. This is mainly because it could lead to more penalties due to their aggression and Buffalo can capitalize on their powerplay. They are both equally talented teams. It may actually come down to luck in this series.

d. My favorite name that is currently in the finals is Monkey D. Luffy. I love anime and I love One piece even more. So when i hear his name it actually makes me very happy. Luffy has also been a huge beast this season with freaking 72 points. He is like his anime character, overpowered.

e. There are several animal names in this series - which of these animals is the coolest? sloth, hippo, otter, monkey, fox, kirby.
Hippo is definitely the most badass out of all these animals. The thing is so massive and did you see its teeth. It's also freaking gigantic. Hippos are also very deadly animals as they kill number of humans every year. In one video, I saw a hippo saving an animal but then it got too clingy so the hippo got fed up and killed it.
