3. Written, 3 TPE, Song of the Playoffs (150 words min.)
Every season the NHL buys the rights to a song that they edit their playoff promotional materials to. This season we’re doing the same thing for the SHL! Pitch me your “Song of the S67 Playoffs”! Who sings it? Why do you think it would make a good hype song?

The NHL has had some interesting song choices over the years but I do think they have done a decent job recently at picking songs. If it was up to my choice, I would choose Rumble by Zade Wolfe. I think the league would have a pretty easy time securing the rights as it’s not a huge song. I had originally heard the song as it was an introduction song for a streamer with a bunch of his game highlights and I immediately put it on my gym playlist. It is very successful in getting me hyped and making me nod my head along to the beat. I think it’s a great song for the NHL or SHL to play in a montage, especially one with a lot of hits. It has some lines that work pretty well too other than the obvious “I’m here to rumble”. When the song says “It's coming down to the two of us” then you can show flashes of the teams that are facing off.

5. Written, 3 TPE, Hotel Rooms (150 words min)
During the playoffs it’s not uncommon to have to spend several days on the road in the same city. Whether you’re in the playoffs or not, who does your player share a room with on the road? What do you get up to? Are you the type to drag around a PS5 everywhere you go, or are you the first to hit the bar after the game? Are you a night owl or an early riser?


Finn often shares a room with rookies as he always makes sure to include them in his endeavors and will also set a good example when there is a curfew. He does occasionally bring his Xbox or gaming laptop on long road trips, especially in cities where there isn’t much to do but go out to a bar after you go to dinner. He plays a little bit of everything but like most young men is into Call of Duty but does also play RPGs and roguelikes. Long road trips where they spend time in cities are fun for Finn as he takes pride in finding the best spots for different cuisines and coffee. He loves when his teammates challenge him to find the best food or specialty restaurant that they are into. He also got made fun of as a rookie for wanting to sight see. Some of his roommates get annoyed about this as Finn often gets up fairly early to go to coffee shops and try breakfasts at different places.

18. Written, 2 TPE - The Procrastinator Special! (100 words min.)
Congratulations, procrastinator! Through your terrible time management skills, you’ve unlocked a special task! [TEAM] has won it all! Were the playoffs as you expected this year, or were there some surprises? Did anything stand out to you about this season’s results? How do you feel about season two of FHM 8?

Seattle won it all. Congratulations to them on their championship! I was slightly surprised at the results as they were the 5th overall team in the league. However when I was making my playoff bracket, I had Seattle as a team that could pull it off. They had a few players that were great to follow like Lukkas Lilja and Jonas Kahnwald. I’m liking FHM 8 so far but I don’t have a lot to compare it to since it’s only my second season. I hope scoring from defensemen continues to go up as it still seems a little below my expectations.

21. Written / Graphic, 3 TPE, Speedrunning (150 words min.)
Speedrunning is a huge movement in the video game world, and frankly I feel like the SHL is falling behind in this department. Pitch me a few different speedrun categories we could have in the SHL. Take it seriously! Or don’t! Is there any actual potential in this idea, or am I silly for suggesting it? As a graphic option, depict your player as a Twitch streamer going for a world record in the game of your choice!

Speedrunning is awesome and I love watching GDQ (Games Done Quick) every year on Twitch. As for the SHL, I’m not exactly sure how that would work because often there is a very optimal path that’s within the user’s control when they speedrun. I feel like the simulation option doesn’t translate too well especially since the players do not have a ton of control over how their General Manager’s control the tactics. I did think of some categories to make it interesting though. You could have categories like “First player to have 20 TPE in a category and fastest team to 100 PIMs on the season. I also think it would be amusing to have people raising to complete PTs. I’m not sure if we could trust people to time themselves doing it but it would be amusing to give someone an extra TPE if they are the first person after the thread is posted to complete the PT.
