Yeah, between the identity fraud that was later determined to be a joke played on Sekai by his team mates and the crazy downturn that the Outlaws took in the second half of the season its been an interesting one for sure. Nothing super horrible happened exactly, but a small chain of bad lucks could best describe it. The worst thing that came out of anything was Sekai taking two weeks to find the tattoo that had been inked on his ass. At least it was a bad-ass tatty but no one but those most intimate will ever see it. The decisions to quit drinking for awhile gave Sekai a chance to reflect on his behaviour over the past junior seasons and decided it was time to grow up and focus on training more and having a better Public Relations record in Anaheim. In what will likely be the last season in juniors, Sekai wants to win that elusive 4-Star cup once and for all.

Freakiest of all freaky Fridays I suddenly woke up as the Buffalo super-stud player Jack Kanoff. I noticed right away because as soon as I stepped out of bed that morning I noticed my feet had gone from a paltry size eight to a shocking size fourteen. Not bad, not bad. But then when I saw the rest of me, I just stood in shock at the mirror and admired the svelte Greek god-like figure that stared back at me. I had no idea how this happened but dang... I looked so much better than the tall lanky Icelander I had been the night before. A knock on the door and my maties let me know that the team bus was waiting. I got on and everyone just stared at me as though they could tell I was a fraud but no one said anything. Then we went into the arena and won the damn Challenge cup and as I was hoisting it above my head the spell must have worn off because I woke up again in my old body but being Jack Kanoff for just one game was amazing.

Adding two more teams to the SMJHL should not change the playoff system of all the teams making the playoffs. It really doesn’t matter, Its a sim league and everything is fake, what does it matter if all the teams make the playoffs. FHM isn't like Simon T where you’re going to get those flukes where the last pace team takes it all the way to the top and wins it. It just doesn't happen. So why deny two teams the chance to at least have a fun playoff round even if they’re out after one round. The whole site should be about fun and acceptance that it is a SIM league and we’re all here for a good time.

The IIHF this year should be interesting. I personally think that Canada and the USA will do well because they always do. The smaller talent pool teams should duke it out for last place as usual. Some random teams from the mid-range in the standings might make a surprise run for it this year. Germany is always a threat and this year so is Finland. Both teams have a number of players reaching that elite range of 1500+ TPE and could shock the bigger teams with a large number of wins in the round robin. Japan could be the sleeper sneak in for the medal rounds as many of their previously young team has matured to the point of being worthy. My beloved Latvia is poised to be a bottom dweller again but in a few more season with the monster defensive core of the future starting to unbank this little country could make a surprise showing but not this year. Soon though. Soon....

a. Both these teams deserve to be here. They are obviously the best of the best and have worked their little bums off to be challenging for the cup. The individual efforts as well as GM’s for both teams have spent hours to have the chance to sick flex their victory when all is said and done.

b. Buffalo has built an incredible dynasty over these past twenty seasons and they keep trucking enough to remain among the top ranks. This is not an unremarkable feat. Props to the Management team for maintaining the dominance for so long. Chicago has scared everyone for years now and they are finally paying off for being an expansion team. Their sow but steady climb to the top will not be toppled easily and we should expect them to be contenders for years to come.
