3. My favorite three items from the charity auction were determining the name of the replacement for the old stats bot, "the ugliest blanket imaginable", and Tesla's recreate. Two of them have similar reasonings - both the replacement name for the stats bot and naming Tesla's recreate are both hilarious prizes to me because both of them are pretty big, ESPECIALLY the stat bot. Every time anybody ever checks their stats until the SHL dies or the bot dies has to look at that. I don't know Tesla well, but if the guy's willing to put the recreate name as a reward he's probably dedicated enough to updating his player and doing PTs that maybe there's a chance of [YOUR NAME HERE] winning some league awards. The ugliest blanket imaginable??? Self explanatory. Best prize of the bunch.

7. For the most part, I think that PTs are kinda fine as is. Overall amount really isn't too bad - your weekly PTs and mPTs, and the big season end slate and that's really it. The weeklies, at the very least are pretty much perfect and I don't see any real way to improve them. As for the season ending stuff, perhaps a bit more flexibility insofar as how All Star Week and Championship Week divide up themselves or a reorganization of the structure entirely (very easy to forget about one or the other as I did with CW this season!), perhaps a rolling several week process that's somewhere between like half to three quarters of the current ASW/CW thread but still more than a PT/mPT week? It's abstract but I think it could work.

11. I have a couple candidates for the most impressive back to back award winners of all time, at least as far as I would judge it. Obviously the Jeff Dar isn't league MVP or anything trophy cabinet centering of that nature but it is DAMN hard to get anybody to agree on anything for back to back years, so for getting 4 straight with sole possession of the award I have to absolutely hand it to Grogu Mandosson (as much as I loathe the name!) for that. Another huge hand goes to John McBride (the award is named after the guy for a reason!) for 4 straight wins on best goalie as well. There are a decent few 3 consecutive year award winners as well, and while there's too many to list here they deserve a hand too. On a more lighthearted note: I didn't really consider any of the stat-based awards because they don't go through a voting committee but incredible shoutouts to Danny Foster for managing to get most PIMs 4 in a row, and then another after a 1 year gap. They could have had the crown for 6 seasons running... a horrifying thought to be sure.
