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?

Due to the chaos that would ensue by having a day with no rules on an SHL ice surface, my player would probably suck or be stabbed with a hand carved shank made of a Bauer stick.  Given that Sekai Wollker tries to be a fair player and has a good strong Icelandic heart on a good day, the lack of rules would probably melt his poor little brain.  But, if anything, some titanium pads would sure make his hits felt a lot more than normal. Given that the other players will probably be equipped to the nines, I’m not actually sure it would be any advantage. 

One bit that would fun would be that you could have a player cherry picking at all times and with no offside or icing... Wollker gonna light up some team mates with some stellar cross ice passing. And then he will skate down and take out the goalie cause its something he’s always wanted to do.  Sportsmanlike, bare hands.  Like it was intended when hockey was invented.

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 real life versions of the SHL logos entered into a fight I would bet on the Rage to come out victorious above all others, after all, with all that pent up rage how could they not destroy all others in the battle to the end.  Rage wins all in emotions and no matter how steeled your hawks are or snowy and devastating your blizzard, rage dominates.  Panthers and Pride aside, all animals need to be brushed aside to lower rankings for the powerful feelings to win.  I think the first to be eliminated would be the Aurora because you could just have this battle in the daylight and they probably wouldn’t even show up.  Instant fault and elimination point just by a scheduling issue.  Rage can exist at any time, day or night and likely would win over the Monarchs in a bitter fight to the very end.  Or I’d be so wrong and the Dragons would take it, but I thin Rage beats Dragon in the pantomime game.

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

My prediction for the IIHF this season will be that Latvia will not win.  I want them to win, I always have, but the way the FHM stacks the teams it will probably never happen but I refuse to give up hope.  I just hope they do well enough. So I guess I will pick Canada.  Canada is a team that always has a ton of recruits so even if the system filters through ten years of stats and players, the player pool will always be so deep for this team, how could they not be favourites every year.  Given that they have been contenders every year, they are a safe bet to pick to win a medal but this year I think they will take the gold.  Bugger damn those Canucks are always good enough to do well.  What a dream it would be for Latvia to beat them in the finals and completely ruin my predictions. Woooooo regardless and I hope its a fun tournament for everyone.

Write a sonnet about an SHL-related topic. Be sure to follow the proper ABAB-CDCD-EFEF-GG rhyme structure or I'm gonna track you down and give you a failing grade.

The hard frozen black rubber falls from the official’s hand
A shout is heard above the roar of the crowd
The game begins, the seated may stand,
The good guys have scored, but the goal’s dis-allowed,

It seems that the home team has been called off-side
The refs caught that one to everyone’s surprise,
the call, though disputed, has changed the tide
The bad guys race to the net, like shit attracts flies

But a quick leg kick to the right from our hero in a mask
sends the puck to the corner, the battle begins
The tall defenseman is up to the task
He grabs the puck with one of his toothless grins

Down the ice again, he slows at the blue line to be sure that he’s in
His center is there, snipes the shot for the win.
