Things can get a little bit boring in the offseason and the conversation can qymuickly deteriorate into trash talk between friends. This season saw some interesting banter between Alexi Piastri and some of his rivals from across the league. Piastri is a bit of a free spirit, he's more likely to be talking about places that he's going to or his latest surfing trip than about the SHL. He posts on social media about things that 99% of the general population probably doesn't quite understand or maybe even gets people questioning what's wrong with him. This offseason he ended up in a battle with Philadelphia Forge goaltender BASE PACK. PACK was upset about what he called a dirty screen during the previous season, something about throwing an octopus at him during a powerplay. Piastri being Piastri ignored this attack and instead called PACK a kook for not following proper surf edicate and dropping in on him during what should have been one of his best waves of the day. "Get out of the water you don't even have arms" - Not Alexi's proudest moment.
