S78 PT #5: Playoff Woahs and Woes Due: Sunday, September 15th @ 11:59 PM PST
#78

Written Option 2: Every season, only 17 players of the 340 in the SHL get the honour of lifting the Challenge Cup and only another 17 of the 272 players in the SMJHL get the honour of lifting the Four Star cup. With the odds stacked against you, how does your player deal with the pressure of potentially losing in the playoffs? How does your player deal with defeat in playoffs? What does your player do with the free time after the woes of losing in playoffs? Does your team follow the tradition of golfing after the playoffs?

I'm on my fifth player now, and haven't won a Challenge Cup since my second player in S38. But I won a combined five Challenge Cups with my first two players. In fact, my very first player won two Challenge Cups in his first two seasons so at the time it seemed very easy! Mostly he was just lucky to be drafted to a powerhouse team back in those days. And now there are way more teams in the league and way more great players so it just gets harder and harder to win one. And to build a team to the point where it's a contender can take many seasons, like over a real life year to get a team to the point where they maybe have a better chance to contend, and even then there will probably be several teams that are just as good. So there's never any guarantee. The 4 Star Cup seems like there might be better odds to win but not for me, I've never been on a team that won the SMJHL championship. The one area where I've gotten lucky though is in the IIHF, I've been fortunate to play for Norway which has won quite a few medals and even got a couple golds in the World Junior Championships, so my players haven't had careers with absolutely nothing to show for it! I don't know how I would react if I won anything with my newest player, but I feel like it might be the last chance to try and win a Four Star Cup but if we don't, I guess it's just look forward to the IIHF again!
