hello

3. 3 TPE
This one hits home. My good frenemy from Hockey Dynasty, Titan, was drafted along with me to the New Orleans Specters, both of us coming out of the Kelowna Knights, which I, of course, was ecstatic about! But alas, he never donned a NOLA jersey and went out a Kelowna legend instead. I was drafted 4th overall to NOLA while Titan, Cian McFelter, joined me shortly after at #12. Tons of potential there, dude's a legend in Hockey Dynasty; Discord mod, always around to help newbies, always there to make fun of me whenever I show up, and a solid GM (I have 2 Cups to his grand total of 0 though, so take that with a grain of salt eh). If he were still going strong on the SHL, NOLA would be that much better! We'd have a solid Center playing up the middle for us and a great linemate for Vlastislav Malik. We could probably run a Malik-McFelter-Kauppinen line, composed fully of Hockey Dynasty guys. Anyways, maybe he'll come back one day!

a) Not going to lie, I don't care either way. But, I'll say a Cup win in the FHM era, since that's where we're at right now and I am here now and I need a Cup win with NOLA. I do have a Cup with Kelowna though, so I guess that's better than nothing.
b) Let's be honest here, we're seeing the same teams basically every season, because there is a problem. I barely follow along with the playoffs (partly since NOLA isn't in it and partly because its boring and partly because I barely follow along with anything anyways besides being a max-earner). So, yes. We probably still would've seen the same teams. Get it over with and move on to the next season already.
c) Let's bring a team to Markham. We're a growing city and clearly have more than 5 people (I can vouch for this). Where is Markham? Near Toronto. Don't we already have a team there? Yes, but who cares? Bring a team to Markham, since I'm here. Wait. If HAM relocates here, will people automatically hate Markham? You know what, never-mind. Take it somewhere else.
d) Me. Vlastislav Malik. Max-earner since he joined the SHL in S56, drafted to NOLA in S57. I want to be in the Finals, its that simple. Malik does fairly well on a bottom team and its time we improve. Enough of watching the same teams duke it out. Its boring. Move this along. NOLA vs X would automatically be more exciting.

a) Well, I believe the Texas Renegades won. They won over the Hamilton Steelhawks, so I suppose a chunk of the SHL is automatically happy. Anyways, they won in 7 games, so I'd say that's fairly exciting right off the bat. If you count the fact that they went up 1-0, then 1-1, up 2-1, tied 2-2 in OT, down 2-3 in OT, and then came back to tie it 3-3 and then winning it all 4-3, you've got a rollercoaster of emotions there. Not sure if there was a clear winner, considering it went back and forth and all the way down the wire, but I think we'll take TEX over HAM by default.

Take a nap. We're in for another boring season. Besides that, I'd bet in the Casino, get some money out of the TEX win and the HAM finals (again eh), etc. Also, I'd probably go back to my fantasy picks and not take those dmen I took (Lyle Odelein III, etc). They clearly didn't help. And I'd probably get my NOLA teammates pick Vlastislav Malik up in fantasy, at least as a 3rd forward, considering I finished 31st in fantasy (while on NOLA). I did drop off in the 2nd half of the szn though, so MAYBE its worth dropping me around then and taking someone else. I'd also start posting everywhere about parity. Seriously, are we going to do something out that? I don't see why people in other teams would even want to stick around, besides tight-knit Discords. Hopefully we won't have a similar prompt next season and we'll have other teams in the Finals. IRL, COVID isn't gone yet, so gotta get people to get their boosters, stay safe, etc. Cheating on Primetimes, etc is a given of course.
