We're adding 2 teams to the SMJHL this season. Do you think we should keep the current SMJHL playoff format of everyone makes it? Or is it time to just take the best 8 or 12 teams and let em duke it out? Defend your stance.

To be honest, I think that it is pretty dumb that every single team makes the playoffs in the SMJHL. I obviously can understand the reasoning why that is and how it could help some people stay engaged. But it actually seems really pointless to see teams that have won like 10 games all season actually try to win a playoff series. I don't really think that those teams that would not have made it in in a more restrictive playoff format really make an impact on the playoffs at all. So with that being said I think that we should go to a new playoff format where less teams make it in.

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

Since this year I am representing both Team World in the WJC and Team Japan in the IIHF tournament, I am going to have to say I expect Japan to do really well again this season. I really believe that with the strong group of Japanese players, we can repeat the medal performance that we have seen last season. However, to be honest, with myself on the team playing as a forward instead of on defense, I have a bit of a concern! However, we still have some very strong players, such as Ryujii Minamino and Slavakov Vladimirishakov. Okay, I really cannot spell Minnesota's player name but you get the idea of who I am trying to mention. Other than the team I am representing of Japan, I have to say that I would not be surprised if Canada did very well in this season's IIHF tournament. Though, it can be such a random format that it is hard to tell who will do well.

We're at a point in the SHL where a good chunk of the playerbase played back in the STHS era, and a good chunk has known nothing but FHM. If you're in the latter part of the league you must have heard the horror stories... so: Let's make a hypothetical.

Players who played in both eras: What would have happened if we just had one sim engine? Posture how your career would have gone if we stayed in STHS (sans exploits). Or what if you had created in FHM the whole time? Would things have gone better or worse?

For you FHM babies: What if we were still in Simon T land? Would your career be where it is now? Or would randomness have stunted the dynasties you may or may not have been part of?

I am one of those players where all I have known is FHM. But I think that either way, my career would have gone okay. To be honest, it did not start out that well for me when I was a rookie with FHM, so maybe I could have done a bit better with Simon T. One of the sim leagues I was part of that is now inactive actually used Simon T, and I found it okay, but not very immersive since it is just completely text based. However I found the switch from Eastside Hockey Manager to Simon T pretty good. I am not sure about those exploits that are mentioned, so I do not have much to say about that. Though I do think it would be really annoying if everyone was trying to play using those exploits and it led to some really weird stats. Overall I definitely think we are better off with FHM.

Code:
12. Written, up to 4 TPE - Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. The salt special: Do these teams deserve to be here? Or were they gifted a trip to the finals through puck luck and bullshittery?

c. Everyone's a critic: Nitpick one thing about either team's logo, jersey, rink design, goal horn, or general site demeanor.

a. I really and truly think that both of the Chicago Syndicate and the Buffalo Stampede deserved to be in the Challenge Cup finals. Both of these teams had exceptional regular season campaigns, and Chicago battled the season out in a tough division. There could have been a couple of teams I wouldn't have been surprised to make the finals either though.

c. Since I am a prospect for Chicago, I am going to lightheartedly complain about the logo and jersey of the Buffalo Stampede. I have got to say, yellow certainly suits the Chicago Syndicate better than the Buffalo Stampede's logo and jerseys. Black and yellow is a much nicer combination than green and yellow, at least in my opinion!
