a. A full scale rebuild vs an expansion team and which is a more accomplished feat is a hard thing to quantify. For starters, Winnipeg went through a rebrand, but still had the storied past. Then Philly comes in with an expansion draft, a few key FA additions, and good drafting. When you try to build a good team, it all comes down to the locker room. In this case, Philly won.

b. To shut down Mikko Rashford is a simple thing to do. Take away all the passing lanes and let give him one on ones with the goalie. If he can't pass, he's forced to shoot. When he shoots, it's a pure gamble. So leave it to be for the Philly Goalie to go one on one with a clear shot, and the goalie will get it 99% of the time.

c. When you have that many shots against you, in such a short amount of time, and the adrenaline that comes along with it, you can't stop that goalie. They're on a historic run and got hot at exactly the right time. Instead, you try and wear down the defense even further and get better quality chances.

d. Well, on paper Winnipeg should have won. 200 tpe stronger than Philly, a good core group. But, Philly had the luck of the sim gods (with some help), this playoff run. The right players got hot, and that was it. So as much as Winnipeg should have won, you can't argue with momentum.


Bear god who is made of light, or a magma monster with a giant hammer. Well, this one has to take place on a planet with a decent amount of gravity, otherwise both forces wouldn't be able to compete. But how do you fight light with fire? is that even possible? Let's take a deeper look into it. Visible light is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. To take that even further, can the bear harness the power of light? If so, there's many ways that the bear could potentially harm another god like monster. Light below infrared, a microwave, could cook the insides of a normal person. But will that affect magma in the same way? Likewise, can the power of a magma forge hammer disrupt light enough that it breaks up the particles. How fast does that light radiation come back together and "heal" the bear god? This seems like an unwinnable battle for either side. But, as my name suggests, I'll be rooting for the bear. And when it's all said and done, I'll be wearing it.


Igor won the Cup
Philly beat the Aurora
Party like Ovi

To say this post season was a crazy one is an understatement. Philly was down 3-1 to MAN in the first round. It looked like, yet again, that Philly was going to have a 1st round exit, much like the real life Leafs. However, luck struck. A sim error! HO saved Philly's post season hopes and dreams. Re-sim happens. Philly goes on the run of a life time at that point. Sails past Man (who, let's face it, were having the sim luck of their dreams with a 500 tpe goalie), puts up a good challenge against ATL and wins it in 7, swept New England to make it to the finals. Only to have their dreams come true in the only season that really matter. Season 69 (nice)
