The Purge is a concept where typically illegal things (e.g., robbery, murder) are legalized for one day. In an SHL-purge, there's a game day where everything typically illegal to do on the ice is now legal. No rules for sticks or pads, no penalties, no icing, etc. What will your player do on the ice to make the most of this and gain a competitive advantage?

In order to take advantage of this misguided and probably horrific idea, Jonas is going to simply pick the puck up and skate around with it depending on where he wants the puck to go. Wants to pass to a teammate while under pressure? Simply pick the puck up, evade the forecheckers and drop it on their stick. Down a goal late in the third? Pick the puck up and pop it into the opponents net for an easy snipe. He is a very good skater so it would be difficult for opponents to catch him and neutralize these options. And then maybe they would figure out that this was a terrible idea and the shouldn't have done that because now young Jonas has throw the puck into the net 15 times and it's only halfway through the 2nd period. i will admit though, with some other ways to abuse this rule there could be some fun outcomes and nothing stops the other team from copying Jonas and doing the same thing.

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?

If all 18 SHL team logos entered into a fight that would be very interesting. I think starting from least intimidating, the first logo that would be out of the fight would have to be the Winnipeg Aurora unfortunately. They are just the northern lights, they dont do much of anything other than look pretty, that doesn't bode well. The rest are all somewhat intimidating in their own rights. At the right of the spectrum, I would say there would be a little mini war. Panthers and Pride vs Blizzard (wolves) and Wolfpack. It would be a dog vs cat kinda thing and it would be pretty cool to see, but since it would be lions and panthers vs wolves and dogs, I think it would over pretty quickly with the cat side winning. The you might have the stampede and rage ganging up against the steelhawks and inferno in a birds vs cows type thing, and I have no idea how it would go. I guess a steelhawk and a bird on fire would cut through some cows pretty quickly. Especially if the platoon and their eagles joined in. Anyways Panthers would come out on top.

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

I think that the best SHl team to not make the finals this season was the Hamilton Steelhawks. The Steelhawks dominated in the regular season yet again with their top 3 players in Elijah Jones, Theo Morgan and Aaron Wilson carrying the offence and Mitchell van der Heiden also having a big year as well up front. Their defence was led by two of the best dmen in the league in Hugh Jazz and Samuel Michaud. It's a real shame they didnt make the finals since I really needed the tpe. Shoutout also to the Newfoundland Berserkers in the SMJHL who were the best team in the J not to make the finals, props to them, absolute madlads.

a. Which of these teams has stronger offensive firepower?

I would say that the Buffalo Stampede would have more offensive fire power than the Texas Renegades. The Buffalo Stampede had 3 players during the regular season who were able to put up 75+ points while the Texas Renegades did not have any players who hit the 75 point mark this season, despite playing in the weaker division. As well, 2 of those Buffalo players were in the 80+ range, so I think the Stampede have the offensive edge.
