Oh yeah let me tell you all about the Buffalo Stampede and the Hamilton Steelhawks, two of the most successful and dominating franchises in the Franchise Hockey Manager 6 era of the Simulation Hockey League (which began in the fifty third season of the Simulation Hockey League, to be clear). I feel the most surprising part of the season had nothing to directly do with these two teams however, since everyone knew they were going to make playoffs and make a deep run anyway. What was most surprising to me and most other people is the fact that mloo2 and the Toronto North Stars managed to make playoffs, even with a goalie lik Scoochie Stratton manning the posts (I guess he's only the backup so the amount of damage he can do is minimized). The fact that they managed to beat out the former cup champions of the fifty seventh season in the Chicago Syndicate is nothing short of incredible. Great job to mloo2 and his gang.

Oh yeah this one's definitely a good question, I think having six skaters on the ice would definitely be the worse choice for sure. Now before you get angry, hear me out. Why does everyone love three on three overtime? Now I'm not talking about the three on three point tasks that were added to the simulation hockey league player progression tasks under the reign of then point task director @hotdog. I'm talking about the real life national hockey league three skaters on three skaters overtime format. It's because fewer skaters means more exciting scoring opportunities and plays! So if we increase the number of skaters, that means it will get more boring! Checks out to me. Get rid of penalties and offsides and icings and we can see some teams really goon it up and come up with interesting strategies.

You know, there are two candidates for my answer to this question here so I am just going to give both of them as an answer and elaborate on them both in order to pad my word count for this answer. The first is the obvious choice for many people, which is the Texas Renegades. They've got a hell of a young squad who managed to snag the President's Trophy, and even though we all know the West is significantly weaker than the East so it was easier for them to snag easy points, we all know that the team is for real and they had a great chance to beat the juggernauts of FHM, Hamilton. My other team is Toronto because holy shit look at what they did to the Great Lakes oh my god great job ml.

Alright so here's the question that I get to just mindlessly ramble on about for every championship week because of my experience as a former federation head for great britain team in the international ice hockey federation tournament. Woo love it. Ok so as always we all expect the same 3 teams to do well every IIHF tournament, these teams being Canada, Great Britain, and the United States. Even though the United States seems to fail to live up to expectations for most of these tournaments, you still can't count out their ultra talented squad who are likely to win it in any season. That being said, we all know the top dogs are Canada and Great Britain. I expect these two teams to come top 2, and anything less would be a failure for both of them. As for which players, I think Monkey D. Luffy will do well because he always does since Japan has an ultra stacked first line.

No word limit? Does that mean there's no word minimum either? Oh well either way I will try to fulfill my quota of 150 words on this prompt, which shouldn't be hard because of the number of incredible people who I've spent time with while on the site. First and foremost we've gotta give a shoutout to my boy @5ympathies, he's been with me on this journey for more than 2 years now and I definitely wouldn't have made it this far without him. Super happy we're united again, throwback to when we managed to get drafted to the same team in an ultra stacked draft, crazy how that can happen huh? Next I've gotta give a huge shoutout to @hotdog, probably the person I'm closest with on the site other than 5ym (sorry hotdog you can't overcome 10+ years of friendship). Thanks for taking me under your wing, even if it meant having to trade that first for me. Thanks for doing all the GM things that I don't want to do (like scouting). And thanks for just being a wonderful guy. Next thanks to @Jepox @micool132 @Briedaqueduc @Leppish I fuckin love you guys being in nem and sharing all the memes in cross server posts and you guys are great people too I guess. Special shoutout everyone else on ATL too like @Acsolap and @bilbo there are too many people all tag so I'm sorry if I've missed you aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
