Once again we have the reflection for like what the fiftieth or something season for our hero monkey d. luffy. It comes at the apex of his career and we all know it is downhill from here. With the first extended season in the books, luffy continues to be at the top of the league in terms of production and capability as the captain of the buffalo stampede. It goes to show how dominant this player has become and will continue to be for some years to come. With no signs of slowing down luffy wants more cups as the captain of buffalo and will continue to do everything in his power in the coming years. We'll see if he can continue his outstanding offensive upside and work on his defensive side as the years come and he starts to slow down. Luffy will continue to be a household name in the SHL for years to come.

A wild new skater type for FHM could be a honey badger type player. Similiar to a two-way forward this player tries to utilize their defensive upside and work that into their offensive game. I think of Yamamoto as the staple of this player, since two-ways or power forwards usually use their size, but honey badgers would be capped on height and weight and instead use their skill and tenacity for their defensive prowess and their uncanny ability to force turnovers for scoring chances. At goalie I would try to but a way to break the current FHM 3/4 stat staple for goalies and have the other attributes matter more, now that's more of a fundamental issue in FHM than just a goalie type could do.

As covid is still going on, luffy has taken up the online world by storm and has all his social medias on point. He has a PR manager and has set up a charity that streams through his twitter, tiktok, facebook you name it. All the revenues that Luffy makes through his socials will be donated to this that help anything to do with covid such as healthcare, education, vaccination resources and anything else for front line works. No matter what Luffy does only a couple things in the offseason, train hard, get a little relaxing, and when not doing either of these he's trying to make the world a better place where he can. Its hard even for somebody making millions of SHL bucks a season, but anything that can just get even one more person to see some much needed help is good enough for the luff master. This is why luff mainly uses social media as an outlet for self promotion and charity. It provides more brand awareness for himself, to reach a wider audience, to therefore make a little bit bigger of a splash when it comes to organizations or people luffy can help out.

We all know this is the great lakes hockey league and the finals shows just that. The other 2 great lakes teams are buffalo and Toronto. Now toronto is the best team to miss the playoffs and it comes at just being in the hardest division known to mankind. But we see that buffalo is on the outside looking in aswell. Losing in game seven against the eventual winners is a sting but we would rather see Chicago hoist the magic trophy over hammy. Buffalo is hands down the best team in the league and sometimes you lose 50/50s in rocket league and in fake hockey. Its just the way she goes bud.

This one has got to finally be the one for Japan. Japan is sporting a near undefeatable roster when compared to most international teams and they are all at the peaks of their career. Sure Canada and USA have a huge log jam of talent and their 4th lines would be the starters on most international teams, I really think japan is super motivated to finally bring home the gold medal for their country. They are a newer international team here in the shl but they have been climbing higher and faster than any other team ever, they look to be rivaling the powerhouse Ireland team of STHS years. If Canada or the USA make one slip up they know that a hungry hungry Japanese team is right on their heels ready to be at the top of the podium this year. It will be a battle for the top, but a battle japan is ready for.
