Task 13
Parity itself has become an issue. A big reason for the new update scale was to bridge the gap between teams in the league, but with the lack of participants at the biggest stage the discussions should be rekindled. For the longest time, the Challenge Cup Finals were what I referred to as the “Buffalo Stampede and Hamilton Steelhawks Invitational”. I believe the majority of the issues around these revolved around the stable, competent management teams for both teams and the constant churning and changing of management personnel with many of the other franchises that were stuck in a bubble or perpetually rebuilding. I think that there’s not much that can be done to address this issue. It simply falls on competing franchises to step up and execute.

Task 14
Of the teams that are on the precipice, I can really see Tampa Bay being a team that makes a statement that they are here and ready to show that they belong. It wouldn’t surprise me to see them punch their ticket to a Challenge Cup Final, but they will have to emerge out of a tough Eastern Conference, which means if they want to represent the East, the road runs through either Hamilton or Buffalo. That’s trial by fire, if I have ever seen it. They did a traditional rebuild and are now being rewarded for the pain they endured back in the early S50s. I recall joking that the old Detroit Falcons team could have arguably beat the Tampa Bay Barracuda that went 0-for.

Task 18
I have been in the SHL since 2011. That’s a pretty damn long time. I’ve got over 30 seasons of GMing experience, and it all started way back in S6 or so when I worked with @diamond_ace with the Manhattan Rage. D_A is a great dude; I still talk to him from time to time. He has taken up residence over at the VHL last I knew, and didn’t have the time or effort that is needed to create a competent, competitive player here in the SHL. I’d love to have him return some time and give it a go again – it’s a completely different place now than it was then.

Task 21
Honestly, I thought the Pill PT way back when was really, really odd. I remember when every PT was hockey related, and it was sort of like, RP back then. This was a serious departure from the historical norm, and that was kind of entertaining in its own way. I find it easy to write about arbitrary hockey things and drone on to complete a PT, so this made me think a bit more critically. Overall, the PT Director gig is a rather unforgiving role, so I appreciate the effort you are putting into the site. Cheers, Slash! Keep up the good work.
