7. I have to go for the Québec City Citadelles, their roster is stacked and the repeat is within reach. Carolina is just too young to beat all the experience that the Quebec squad has. They have a good shot next year if they can beat the Armada.

12. Canada is so good that I think they will at least make it into a medal with ease, but when it comes to who will lose, it is a harder decision. I think that Switzerland will just fall short, and Ratvia gets Silver, Czechia gets Gold and Canada gets bronze.

13. I am not a huge fan of the WJC, but since my player is from Slovakia, they have gotten shunted around Rhine and World, so they haven’t really had a chance to succeed since they went to World after they won Gold in S79. I understand the reason for why they have them, but I haven’t really liked it myself.

9. Tampa Bay did a really good job drafting their players over the years, but they haven’t had the luck to get several good players in one year, which is really important in a league like this where the peak of a players career is quite short. They are still young and might have a chance next year.

3. This stat is so wild I think it has to be a coincidence, but the different strategies is something we can take a look at. Tampa Bay really is lacking a star player, and so they compensate by sharing the puck as much as they can, while San Francisco just feeds the puck to their best scorer.
