2B. In my oppion, I wou;d definetly rather be the Blizzard than the Forge. The Blizzard are on the up and coming while the forge is giving one last shot at winning it all. I would definetly want to be on a team with a better outlook but hey being on either team in the finals is amazing. i hope one day with Toronto we will be in the finals.

2C. Definetly the Forge. How many times did they lose to the wolfpack? I don't even know. (Just looked it up they lost in the conference finals 4 seasons in a row LAMO) it reminds me of the Islanders losing repeadetely to the Lighting to be honest. I think it is way more impressive to finally take revenge on a long nemesis.

2D. This is a hard one. I dont really know becuase I haven't really been focusing on the SHL this season as I am still in the J's. Im gonna have to go with... The Blizzard. This might even go to 7 games but I had to choose the Blizzard becuase they got most likley the best goalie in the leauge in net. Though I kno FHM doesnt really care bout goalies so sorry if Im jinxing you edmonton.

3. Now as I said before, this season I didnt really follow the SHL becuase i was busy with the J's so I really cant tell you what the forge did right and montreal did wrong;But I will tell you how in my oppion a team even though their prime has passed, can still be competiitve. What I'm thinking is a good team beconmes bad as their old players regress and retire, now in a baking metaphor I will tell you how I think a General manager can prevent this/prolong this. For one, you cant let the dough(Team) get to dry, you have to keep adding liquid/eggs and stuff, keep incorporating them in gradually. Its the same thing with a team:You have to keep developing prospects on the back burner to eventually come up and replace the guys regressing with new guys going up and up. To do this I think you just can't have your core be of the same or one or two draft classes, they should at least span 6-8 draft classes so one season everyone is in their prime and the next there all regressing, that is the formula for short term succsess you need to spread it out and keep the cycle going, that is how good teams stay good.

My Federation is Team USA. It is the best,THE BEST Federation. Currently in my 2nd season GM'ing USA's World Junior Show case team! In the World Junior Show case , team USA is going for gold... for 3 years in-a-row. Yes you heard me correctly we are going to make a dynasty, and by the looks of our team I think we can. Team USA will definelty medal at the World Junior Show case I can tell you that much. Last season's gold was awesome, this seasons will be AMAZING! Team USA has so many up and coming players to fill our ranks the big IIHF team (hopefully) in a few seasons should be back to gold. Let me tell you why though tea USA will win yet another gold: The Players. We have a great mix of returning USA gold medalers such as Merecedes Bayley my Elk teammate and some new S73 faces from my draft class such as myself mac turner. To put it simply, Team USA for the win.
