SMJHL GM Daft Chipmunk Code: Code: +2 TPE (to hit 8 max) verification word is: boop Code: 9. Written, 50 to 200+ words. It Has Been A While Based purely on TPE spread, I want to say the Toronto North Stars are the most likely of the teams listed to end their cup drought. They improved quite significantly in the standings from season 77 to season 78, and this year they managed to push the Buffalo Stampede to 7 games in the first round of the playoffs. Their top players are just about to reach their peaks, and the supporting roster is full of up and comers who are all only going to continue to improve. They're definitely still a young group, but ancient regressing players (specifically mine) are annoying and overrated. Code: ^ 104 words +2 TPE ^ Code: 10. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Took Me By Surprise Apparently it's 'talk about the Toronto North Stars day' for me. They've been in rebuild mode for the entirety of my career in the SHL, so I admittedly wasn't paying attention at all to how much they've grown. At the start of the season I was expecting for them to continue on being a bottom feeder team, and they smashed that idiotic notion into the ground. Anyone with actual eyeballs and a pulse would have seen that they have been on a steady rise in the standings since season 74, and their roster looks primed for a long stay at the top. That is, if they can address their defensive issues. With a goal differential that is almost dead even (-1), the North Stars have issues keeping the puck out of the back of their net. They are scoring just fine with their first line, but it drops off significantly after that. Nonetheless, now that I'm paying attention, I have all the faith in the world that they're going to figure it out. Wally knows what he's doing, and he's already done the hardest part of drafting and developing his locker room after he blew it all up way back in season...uh, season 69. It's true, I went back and made sure. Code: ^ 212 words +4 TPE ^ |
