Prompt 1:

ATL for the past however many seasons has been a first round exit guaranteed. Things were looking so bright last playoff run as they went up 3-0 on the Tampa Bay Barracudas, but then lost their edge and were reverse swept, once again missing out on the post season past the first round. The team is growing strong and is bringing in a promising addition in Burlok Sulfurgold. Burlok Sulfurgold brings in some much needed offensive firepower to the team, leading the SHL in goals last season and going point per game for three seasons straight. This combined with the team growth and minimal regression paints a very pretty picture for the Atlanta Inferno this season. While the team wants to remain realistic, there's an aura of optimism going around the locker room and the fans are expecting a lot. On top of this, old man defenseman Gabriel Johnson will be retiring after this season and everyone wants to see him hoist the cup in his final season with the league.
