Where to start with the downs. We started the season horribly and we thought we were doing something completely wrong and started doubting ourselves if the path we had set out for the season was good enough. But there came the ups. We changed up some of our tactics and they seemed to work. Also it looked like FHM was picking up our morale from the locker room cause it kept getting better and better. Halfway through the season we knew we could beat Los Angeles and claim the division title if we had the sim gods by our side. Then the opportunity came a long to make a big trade on the deadline. In the end the trade was pretty hard to accomplish and we had to involve 5 teams total to make it happen. Minutes before the deadline the trade was put up, but was ultimately declined by HO because it wasn't worded correctly and that was it. We ended up winning the division, but if this trade happened we probably wouldn't have.

The SMJHL is in me eyes completely different compared to the SHL. The SMJHL is the place where new players start, get to learn the site and onboard in their SHL journey. An off season can be hella long if your team doesn't make the playoffs, so in that case I think all teams should make the playoffs. Because winning should not be the primairy goal of any SMJHL team, retention of players should be priority number one. Every team making the playoffs will keep new players entertained and connected to the site and league, so that would be the proper thing to do.

This seasons IIHF tournament I don't think there will be many surprises. There's a few good nations out there and they have dominated the IIHF tournament the last few seasons, while smaller nations keep on struggling to get new players and are just participants and sometimes even cannon fodder. So the teams that will do well:United States, Japan and Sweden. Perhaps Germany or Canada can cause an upset. My own nation Austria is far down the ladder. Top players are regression and the youth players aren't even unbanked yet to make a proper impact on the tournament. The future does look bright as we've had quite a few new players join the nation in the last few seasons, so not all hope is lost at the moment. I just hope some other nations will win the tournament from time to time as this tournament is even more boring than it already was.

I know who won, but I didn't follow any of the games to know which of the players performed really well that should deserve the MVP award. So in that case I will just pick someone from the winning team, Buffalo (damnit). And the player I pick is.... Aron Hernadivic. Though this is based on completely nothing, nothing at all. He's a cool name I guess, but I don't even know if he's scored any goals this series. I couldn't give a rats ass who won the cup after we got eliminated in the round before the finals unfortunately peanut butter.
