Oh no, the head honchos of the league are worried that there aren't enough story lines for the finals! Therefore they're changing the rules for the finals. The home team will get to choose to either a) play the whole game with 6 skaters on the ice at a time or b) be immune from penalties/offsides/icing. Whatever the home team chooses, the visitors get the other perk. Which one are you choosing, given the choice and why?

I would choose option B, being immune from all penalties on its own is reason enough. Sure you give the other team a perpetual 'power play' but it means you could hack and slash and trip and punch the other players all you wanted and if they retaliated you wouldn't be penalized for it and it would eliminate their advantage immediately if they get called for doing anything. Plus, with no offsides or icing, you could put a man in their end the whole game and they'd have to keep someone back to defend it, so again it's not that minor. But back to the no penalties thing - you could even deliberately injure their players until they only had 5 left, and then they wouldn't have any advantage at all. It would be a shocking display of violence and brutality given that sort of pass!

If you're sitting at home watching the Finals: What do you plan on doing differently next season to help your team reach the promised land? If you're playing in the Finals: Is there anything different you plan on doing next season to continue your team's success?

This season the Aurora were not able to match the excitement of S57's playoff run to the semifinals, bowing out in the first round to Buffalo. Throughout my career I have largely been an offense-first player, and for Winnipeg I have been one of the more consistent point producers over the FHM era. However, with regression setting in hard for me personally, and also the team going through more of a youth movement, I have been transitioning my build from a speedy forward type into a more defensive two-way forward. As a veteran player, my focus has to be on helping the young defenders in our own zone, and sheltering the young wingers as well. No more cheating for breakaways or always looking to make a play. Like so many veteran players the speed and the acceleration go away as you get older but you have to learn how to play smarter, and for the greater good of the team the smart thing to do is keep working on improving my defensive play and be more of a checking forward.

I loved this as a mPT when hotdog did it last season, so I'd like to bring it back as a permanent fixture. After all, we could all use a little positivity every now and then. Say something nice about another member or members, no word limit.

@sköldpaddor  I've never had the opportunity to share a Discord with you really so we don't interact much but I really enjoy your presence and attitude on things like twitter, media, livestreams etc. You are always positive and welcoming and inclusive and have a way of creating a very immersive experience with your player's stories and social media. You are one of many awesome people who make this place better for everyone!
