Trivia: chat (+3)

2. A. Hargreeves is the obvious choice here as he was the leagues leading scorer, him and Scholz are a scary duo to have. Even if they haven’t relied on their scoring to win games during the post season, the defense has to focus on them so it gives room for depth players to score. Maybe with the threat of more depth scoring the defense lets off them a little and they have room to really lock in and score a bunch (+1)

B. I do not think anyone ever has the upper hand on Justin Time. He is an absolute stud between the posts. He may not have better numbers but he has that experience and the pure skill to pull some saves that no one has any business stopping. Plus i’ve heard that Ramen has some magic or something that he can cast which will make Justin Time a complete brick wall so if those rumors are true there’s no one who can stop Time (+1)

F. I think the Pride are going to win. They have the best forwards and the best goalie. Obviously the Platoon are not far behind in any metric, but sometimes the better team is just the better team and it’s that simple. Justin Time is the main factor just because he is so good in between the pipes, and even if he has a bad game he has Hargreeves and Scholz who can drop multiple points a night. It will be a hard battle but I have the Pride coming out on top (+1)

11. I chose Latvia with my first player because I knew that Latvia needed players. We were lacking so much that I played in the IIHF every season including my rookie season. Now that Latvia has more players it was the choice to stick with the people I spent 10 seasons with already. I want to try and win a gold with Latvia, and I will probably keep recreating as a Latvian until we do it. Who knows, maybe even after I’ll be so invested in Latvia that I’ll always recreate as a Latvian. I have no real connection at all with the country but on the SHL forums, they are my countrymen now.
