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?

Oh this is a good one. We have so many great logos. I feel like there are a couple of these that are on a whole other power level than the rest of them though. Lets start at the bottom. For me, there are four teams that really stand out as below the rest and that is Tampa (Sorry TBB, I love the rebrand but a Barracuda just can't hope to beat a dragon), Baltimore, Hamilton and Edmonton. All fine animals, but birds and fish generally don't do well against large mammals. Neither does an arctic fox. Take your pick of them, one of them goes first. Then we have our cream of the crop, and there are really only two options. Toronto and Winnipeg. How does anyone beat a 500 meter tall tower in a 1 on 1 fight. The answer is, you dont. And an Aurora? THE POWER OF THE SUN?! Yeah no, there you have it. Game, set, match.

Which SHL or SMJHL team was the best team to not make the finals this season and why?

I really thought Seattle had a great team this season. They get overlooked a little because of some of the bigger teams and they struggled with some mediocre regular season results but their team is stacked. Their only real concern was goaltending and I think that may have been what did them in at the end. They just couldn't seem to get steady results out of that group. Its a really stacked team by all accounts. They also had a tough second round pairing so that may also have played into them not getting further.  If they are able to come out of the expansion fairly okay and can keep that core together for another season or two I think that will be able to make a splash.

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.

Well, first of all I just have to say that I am so stoked for Texas. They had a great rebuild and put together a great group and I am super excited that they got to win one before the expansion guts them. Great way to finish things off with this particular core. As for who gets my MVP vote, I think I'd probably have to go with Björn Leppanen. He was a total two-way threat that came up big in every situation. If you want to succeed at this level you need your defensemen to play a huge role I think, and Leppanen was dominant defensively as well as a force offensively, coming in with some clutch goals too.
