What's your prediction for this season's IIHF tournament? Which teams do you expect to do well (or not well)? Which players?

Latvia is in a unique situation for the first time in a long time. The roster is now fully unbanked with regards to its defenders and only 1 forward remains at 425 tpe. The team is almost done picking up the pieces from the great collapse and I frankly the team is in a tight race with Russia to grab the last playoff spot for the round robin. While Russia really only has one lethal scorer in Jakub Bruchevski (where as Latvia has 3), the Russian's have built themselves an impressive line of defenders. Currently tied for the least goals allowed is definitely impressive and I feel when the two teams do eventually meet in the tournament the question will be can Latvia's offense penetrate the wall? Obviously I am bias as I do play for team Latvia and want them to win, but I am hoping that we can find some cracks and create a flood of goals

To some, an interesting part of sports leagues is following celebrity fans (like Jack with the Lakers or 50 Cent with the Knicks last week) - who would be some relevant SHL celebrity fans? Which well-known celebrities would be superfans of which SHL teams?

Legendary Belarusian native Gary Vaynerchuk is a huge team Latvia super fan. With Belarus not having a IIHF team, the nation has placed its support behind the prosperous Latvians! Gary flys out to every IIHF game they play and has his own seat right beside the players bench. He recently started giving out scholarship to European teens who show high potential to become SHL athletes and pays for them to train in Latvia with their legendary IIHF players like Kaspars Claude. Word on the street is the next big talent is a teenager by the name Oles Kobliska. He is suposidly the next big center to come out of the nation, although he continues to train and has not yet declared for the SMJH draft

Welp, you waited until the last day to grind out your CW and the CC finals are longggggggg over by now. congrats to [TEAM], woo! Reflecting back on the series, who gets your vote for series MVP? Make the case why this player deserves it over any other.

Augustus Wang has my vote for the most valuable player for the season fifty nine SHL challenge cup finals. Having a +19 is absolutely ridiculous as a defender and not to mention he found the back of the net seven times and also contributes to Buffalo's success with 18 assists. Some would say he is a big reason as to why guys like Monkey D. Luffy are so good. It was surprising to see buffalo lose, but one thing is for sure. Wang was not to blame and I am happy to see a western team take down one of the great lake empires
