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 was happy with my season as it went on, i improved on pretty much everything and thought i had a decent amount of hits and blocks while still scoring over 20 points, apparently my player was pretty much shit though if you look at milestones as the only one i hit was the GWG one. a +20 to hit the +/- milestone is pretty fucking awful IMHO but it is what it is, i guess it's based off of averages so i'll just have to live with the fact that i was dogshit. Next season i'm hoping that i will do better and actually accomplish something, be that with this team or another. Who know what will happen, maybe i get traded to a good team where i can leech some points and pluses from my teammates, seeing how that wont happen here in Los Angeles. Time will tell, but i'll be back with a vengance.

What are your predictions for the upcoming IIHF or WJC tournament? What team do you think will win/surprise people/be bad/etc.?
I think that there will be a bunch of very shady tactics going on with player roles and such sadly. I'm betting most coaches will try to take advantage of putting everyone as the same player role etc, like some teams did in the SHL playoffs. Guess you got to exploit to get somewhere, which is really damn sad when that was exactly what we wanted to avoid with a sim engine change. Either way i think that my Japan will be good this year again, We got the MVP Monkey D Luffy, as well as a bunch of sexy people from Chicago to lead the charge. I had a decent IIHF tourny last season and i'm hoping i can help my Japanese brothers and sisters get the gold this season. We got to play in the bronze game last season despite being predicted dead last in the entire tourney, so it's going to be nice to see what we can accomplish when people are actually giving us respect.

6. Written, 2 TPE (100 words min.) The world's hottest app is TikTok - which SHL or SMJHL player would have the biggest following on TikTok? What do they post there?
There are a couple of people i can see get tiktok famous. Andrei is definitely one of them where he can just meme about his lost brother. He can also post a couple of real freaky dark videos of him in the woods, as we have come to be very familiar with in the Newfoundland LR. Other than that i can see myself become quiet famous in the anime parts of the tik tok universe, i've started to see quiet a lot of accounts actually doing anime reactions on the app, so perhaps i could become an anime reactor and make the big bucks with sick comments to new cool animes.

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: My vote would be Buffalo Stampede. They had a sick D core of Cassius Darrow, Poopity Scoop, Alexander Selich, who were all over 1800, as well as proven brick walls. Sure Nola had a deeper D core overall probably, but the top 3 for Buffalo was just too sexy to pass up on.
b: Not really, i can't say that i have noticed a big difference between home and away games if i have to be honest, though i haven't done any research and won't be doing any either to be honest, lol. We know that the series was even though so again, i do not know, but buffalo won so im gucci.
c: I don't think so, aggression makes you take more penalties so if anything i'd think that is a disadvantage. I don't know if bravery does much really but perhaps it does. Fighting i think is pretty useless when there aren't injuries, there won't be any fights taking place because of ugly hits that injure people.
d: Obviously Monkey D. Luffy is the best name in the finals. One Piece has shaped my life and Luffy is the main character from whomst a lot of people on this site could take some pointers from. Life shouldn't always be serious but sometimes you got to be serious and grab the bull by the horns.

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.
Monkey D Luffy should obviously be in contention for MVP. He tied 18 points to lead the playoffs in points, and the ones he tied it with played 3 more games than him. He also had 24 hits and didn't take a single penalty. But then again his CF% rel was -1.1 so perhaps one of these award people will say he sucked, lmao. Nah Luffy is probably my bet for MVP, great season overall and i wouldn't be surprised if he won both season and playoff MVP, but people be hating on Buffalo so who knows, maybe someone from NOLA wins it lmfao.
Elizabeth Doyle would be the second one to fight for the MVP. a stellar .927, 3 shutouts and a sub 2 GAA. Sure GAA is definitely a team stat but still, it's in the goalie stat line and everyone seem to think that it's the quality of the goalie who determines it.
