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?

This one is what is really made this season hard, after over a year of taking luffy to the top of the tpe charts and trying to position himself to be known as one of the greats, he kind of fell flap this year. Leading the league the entire season by a hefty margin and just coming up short for his dream of leading the league in points at the last second. A huge disappointment in the individual side, but being the captain of the best team in the league really makes up for it. A deep playoff push and, since this is after the ploofs, scoring the biggest goal in the entire league is what drives this player to keep going up and up and never stopping. Nothing can beat a game 7 finals OT winner. Next season luffy is getting older and will be nowhere near this peak season but i believe in the org and all the players around luffy to help raise him up for seasons to come.

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.

This is going to be an extremely difficult season for teams at the top, especially coming from buffalo. Losing a lot of key pieces to expansion and free agency is going to take the toll on us in particular. It's nice to see more teams and see some of the wealth spread out over the league, but it really sucks losing players that you have grown with and experienced so much with. Buffalo has made some moves to lighten the blow that is going to happen this off season but the dreams of this season and having almost over a full line of top tier talent will be a thing of the past, only able to get back to that with fancy team management. It's hard to see which one of the two new teams will come out on top but i have a feeling atlanta will come out just a little ahead, only because the gm has to take his own player and hes a bit higher than tig atm. Only time will tell for these two.

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

The best team to not make the finals this year i would say are the manhattan rage. They put up a stellar performance for this season and were only a couple points behind the big dogs like buffalo this season. It's really hard to break through to the top in this league and the playoff bracket is a harsh mistress when you have to take on the big bads in the early rounds. I have a feeling we will be seeing the rage in a final sometime soon and have no doubt in my mind a cup is in their near future, that is if buffalo has a random year of bad luck.

13. Written, up to 4 TPE Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. Both of these teams have stacked defenses - which team do you think has the defensive advantage in this series?

b. In the two regular season matchups, each team won once at home. Do you expect the results to reflect a home ice advantage in this series?

c. Based on FHM player ratings, New Orleans has higher average ratings in bravery, aggression, and fighting? Will that toughness have any impact on this series?

d. What is your favorite name from a player appearing in this series? Why do you like that player's name?

e. There are several animal names in this series - which of these animals is the coolest? sloth, hippo, otter, monkey, fox, kirby.

a. Easily we have to give it to buffalo, their core of selich wang scoop and darrow are unmatched both in terms of raw power on paper and a play that speaks for itself. No team comes close to these 4 core and even their bottom two defense are heads and tails above everyone else as well.
b. There is no home ice advantage to be had in the fhm era in my opinion. Both teams play just as good home and away and they just win, so being at home or away doesn't matter for these two powerhouses. This game will go all the way and no home ice will matter.
c. Sorry having only an advantage in shitty things like toughness will not be a changing or deciding factor in these finals. The better skilled team will come ahead here and the best coached one. Not even cheese all out aggressive forechecking strats will be able to carry the weaker team here.
e. Once again buffalo wins it here with hippo otter and monkey. First kirby isn't even an animal and a sloth can barely move so how can it skate? Sure a fox is a wicked cool animal but its getting teamed up on by the three other awesome animals from buffalo so it can't hold its own sorry.

Welp, you waited until the last day to grind out your CW and the CC finals are longggggggg over by now. congrats to [TEAM], woo! Reflecting back on the series, who gets your vote for series MVP? Make the case why this player deserves it over any other.

There is only two players in my mind that even are in the debate for that and those are monkey d. luffy and elizabeth doyle. Luffy leads the league in playoff points this season and doyle was a monster the entire run. Both had huge plays that either saved the series, doyle making a breakaway save in OT, and then luffy potting the eventual winning in game 7 OT. My greed wants to give luffy the nod, but doyles stats don't lie and she should be the MVP for this series and the entire playoffs, captain luffy promised to win the cup for her and realistically she did it instead.
