SHL is fun



I mean the obvious answer to this would be to severely injure all the players on the other team but it depends on if you're allowed to bring foreign objects onto the ice or not. If the purge is actually in effect for everyone I'd probably drive a Zamboni out on the ice and run over the other team then spam shoot the puck in the net to secure the win. If that's not allowed then you just spam slash the entire opposing team until they run out of players to ice and then wait until they have to forfeit the game or run out of players and then you can just skate down the ice off a face-off and shoo the the puck into the empty net. I'd also wear armor underneath by gear since you have to assume the other team is thinking the same thing and planning on injuring all your players as well.





You have to always expect teams like Canada and USA to do the best in tournaments like this. They have the deepest rosters in IIHF and have the best pool of players to draw from. I also expect like every year Japan to be massive lmproved, they have two new GMs who are already making moves to improve the roster and have an outside chance to medal for the third time in IIHF history. I think Parker and Daniel Smeb will have big IIHF tournaments now that they no longer have to worry about the added pressure of GMing and coaching the nation, I think Akira Ren will also have a big tournament since he's even more improved from last tournament and already had a good tournament last year. I think a nation like Switzerland could have an improved finish this year as well and medal for the second time in their history if everything ends up working out well for them.



a. I think the edge in terms of firepower has to be given to the Buffalo Stampede. They've have the higher end regular season scorers and players that have more experience when it comes to the play-offs and play-off scoring. I think texas has some top end firepower as well but I think in this series the edge has to be given to the Stampede due to players like Kholin, Luffy and Hernadivic
b. I think Texas will have the clear chip on their shoulder this series. This is their first time ever making the finals with this core and already were able to upset the favorites in Hamilton. I think Texas going into this series knowing they already beat the team that Buffalo couldn't beat will give them extra motivation and confidence to win this series.
c. Wadey created the Renegades and I remember being tampered by him to go play for them in their season second season. I like the Stampede concept and everything but I've still always preferred the original Jesster version and prefer the name of the Thunder to the Stampede even though the team concepts are pretty much the same. Overall I like the Renegades concept a bit more.
d. I know very little about either city but more people tend to shit on Buffalo, as someone from Edmonton that has to listen to friends who live in the city for 6 months then go back home and shit on it without ever really taking advantage of anything the city has to offer I feel like I can relate more to Buffalo. I'd probably go to a Bills game even though I don't really watch the NFL.
