Another season in the books for Bobby Sharp and this time it came with a career high of 78 points thanks to the extended schedule. Sharp continues to be a workhorse for Buffalo season in and season out putting up solid offensive numbers as well as keeping pucks out of the net with solid defensive play. Sharp's playoffs was also the best in his career with 19 points in 17 games, only trailing players who had 24 games played. Buffalo being a perennial contender and providing a system and supporting cast has resulted in Sharp and the other vets being set up for a lot of personal success. Not much else to say, Sharp continues to be on the fringe of the top players in the SHL and is making a solid career for himself while no one is really paying any attention. The Nicklas Backstrom RP is quite strong with this one.

So homer bias is a thing but pretty much every season Buffalo doesn't make the finals is another season where they're the best team to come short. The Great Lakes division is far and away the most dominant division in the SHL and has been for nearly a decade, so much so that with the recent playoff restructuring we're now seeing double Great Lakes teams in the finals. Buffalo's regular season yet again shows that they can win against anyone on any given night, and with a strong initial playoff run this season they showed that they were just as likely to make it as anyone. Without fail though they had to go through Chicago, and unlike seasons past they couldn't manage to pull it out this time. I also would like to given an honorable mention to Toronto, a team that has been on the up and up for seasons now but is unfortunately in the Great Lakes division. They had a strong season though and being in any other division would have likely poised them for a decent playoff run.

Here's where I tend to say that this season USA will return to form and make a deep run and walk away with some, if not the prettiest hardware. And then later is when USA does decent in the round robin but has an early exit in elimination games. Its sort of become a personal unfortunate tradition at this point. Well, this time around I'm going with the hottest of takes by saying USA is going to win their group by just slipping past Great Britian and they will actually make a deep run and walk away with some hardware. Maybe not gold but I believe they will make a medal game at the very least. No surprise upset in early elimination games to Japan (pls no jinx hockey gods). No last minute goalie "injuries". 2021 is a brand new era for the United States, and their SHL IIHF hockey team is going to punctuate that with a medal around their necks.

a. I think Chicago has the edge this time around. Something about this season for them has been special with getting past Buffalo and they've had a hell of a long playoff run that has them nice and loose and in prime condition in a world without injuries ready to pounce on a cold Steelhawks team.

c. I personally prefer Hamiltons mostly because of the color scheme being more to my taste. The blue/grey tones are basically how I have rooms in my house painted. The logo itself is also a little cleaner and less busy too which is a plus. I kind of like the Syndicate theme for Chicago over having a generic bird mascot though.

I don't think there is really much of a question around the type of content Bobby Sharp's only fans would contain. With such incredible access to such a person of interest with the media and the fans, Sharp would be able to live off of his only fans that is exclusively pictures and videos of Monkey D Luffy in every possible situation you can think of. Sharp could just bring a go pro into the Buffalo showers and point it at Luffy for instant fortune. But it doesn't have to be exclusively lewd and nude though. The media is always fiending for more Luffy and Sharp is just the guy to deliver and serve him up on a silver platter. Sharp has access to every aspect of his life, from showers to relationships to guilty pleasures. No one woulda thought Luffy cries during anime until Sharp gets the heartwarming candid of him. Also the amount of drugs that guy does... wow (all SHL legal of course).
