If real life versions of all 18 SHL team logos were entered into a fight, which would come out victorious and why? Which would be the first eliminated?
Damn. It's kinda two sided question, because there's two ways how you can understand it - which one is stronger or which one looks much better. So, the winner is the stronger animal in logo or that logo who looks much better? Haha. However, I'll make it sure I make things clear for both. I think if we talk about power then Buffalo Stampede would win for sure. It would be pretty close fight between them and Manhattan Rage, but Stampede would come strong and win it all. If we talk about best logo, then fight would be again between Buffalo Stampede and this time - Edmonton Blizzard. I think that Stampede would win again (mostly, because I am loyal player from Buffalo Stampede). Only surprise might be if Portland Admirals come back, because then it's an easy fight for them and they're winning easily. But since they won't come back (probably), then it's an easy W for Stampede, in my opinion. Mostly, because these logos I talked about have much bigger and stronger animal.

Which SHL or SMJHL team was the best team to not make the finals this season and why?
This season were really interesting and I think that SHL Finals are pretty obvious. I think it's a bit shocking that Hamiltoon Steelhawks choked a bit and lost in semi-finals. They lost in 7 games versus Texas Renegades who finally made it to Finals. So, I would say that Hamilton Steelhawks is the best team who didn't make SHL Finals this season. Chicago Syndicate are in similar situation as Steelhawks, but they had worse semi-finals where they lost by gentleman sweep. In SMJHL I think there are no surprises. Anchorage Armada and Kelowna Knights deserved to make Finals and they did. Maybe Newfoundland Berserkers and Detroit Falcons should've made it too if we look how good they are roster and management wise, but it's already too late.

What's your prediction for this season's IIHF tournament? Which teams do you expect to do well (or not well)? Which players?
We've seen in last seasons that IIHF is most predictable thing, because it's always similar to previous season. For example, it seems like worst team will be Austria, Latvia, Ireland and Finland, while bet ones will be United States, Sweden, Great Britain and Switzerland. Best countries are really close at standings, but worst are similar in points, but just lower amount. Canada, Germany, Russia and Czechia are good too and I think TOP 8 from last season might surprise and get medals. Julio Tokolosh are definitely on the way to show that he is the best player in IIHF one again too, I think. Sad to see Finland doing that bad, but I think one or two seasons and we will be back much stronger in IIHF. I won't predict anything big for my player Aumy Jr., because I don't think he's able to get much points as a defender. Mostly, because I saw how badly we performed last season in IIHF.
