So this was a tough season for everyone in the SHL. Dealing with trolls online, horrible PR from product endorsements, and on top of that all some minor identity fraud to add to the pile. Are these the worst things to happen to your player this season, or did something unimaginably horrible happen? On the flip side, were there any bright spots hidden in the countless nuisances and problems? What good things on and off the ice happened this season for you?

Worst thing that could happen to Alex Oscarsson this season was missing the playoffs, which did not happen. The Pride did still not get up to the level we wanted, but making the playoffs is the very core essence of what we want at this point in time. As for me personally, I had a pretty good year overall despite all the off ice shenanigans. 30 points for a 2nd pairing dman is completely acceptable. Add in a 4th place finish in the shots blocked category, and we are starting to get somewhere with this player.

The off ice stuff that happened was probably the biggest downside. Despite the aforementioned things, Oscarsson had to go through a motivational struggle as the season progressed. When the wins were not coming in, and you had to fight tooth and nail for any inch things were not as fun. But all challenges need to be overcome.

Freaky Friday.. or Monday. Tuesday? Anyhow, I think the finals will be over by Friday barring some kind of Re-sim :grimace: Anyways, I forgot the plot of the movie but there's something about a fortune cookie and now you're in your mom's body! But actually, it's the body of an SHL player, one from Chicago or Buffalo! (If you are on Buffalo or Chicago, you can't be yourself, pick a teammate or opponent). Now that you are them and they are you, what do you do during the big game? Play amazing and turn a scrub into a superstar? Play like a bum and try to help the other team win? Oggle yourself in the mirror? The world is so exciting in a new body...

I would become Matt Kholin. An old friend of mine from all the way back in S46. Sadly I did not keep going while he did. Sadly for @Kalakar I would not be helping those pesky Stampeders. They have already won too many titles for what a team should be allowed to do, and so I would try to ruin it. Do everything Kholin wouldn't do, like missing the net and score own goals and take a ton of penalties. I would also start rigging the sim probably. I\d do a ton of things.

Jokes aside, Kalakar is great and so is Matt Kholin. A legendary player and person who when he recreates will be playing with me once again. I wish the dude nothing but the best except for this particular maybe little final that he ended up winning. Journey before destination and all that, but the destination must have been pretty nice.

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

Sweden are winning the IIHF this year. A young team that is only getting better and better for each season that passes. We have skill, we have power, we have grit, we have speed. But most of all, we have #junipanda as our official mascot. Gunnar Söderberg, HLO, Yxskaft, Svenson Passamus, Bjerg and newly minted Challenge cup champion in Joseph Fantobens.

Add in a debutant through Alex Oscarsson who is playing in this tournament with the already young talents such as Yngve Simonsson and Calvin Hobbes and you have every chance to go far. Still not happy? How about we throw in the goalie pairing we have! A Jobin, considered one of the best goalies in the league together with one of the best up and coming goalies the entire league has in Jon St. Ark.

I don't know what else to say. Sweden are getting that gold, and you will all thank us for it.
