So it's been a nice offseason so far, got a bit of training in, some time on the ice as well. I feel much more prepared to be relied on as a top 6 forward this season, and hopefully it'll translate onto the ice. But overall, in terms of predictions, I think that I'll finally be able to crack that 20 goal plateau this season. We've got a lot of development in terms of just everyone on the team getting better, and with the loss of some players to the SHL, it'll be on us to step up and generate offense to fill the gaps. But I worked pretty closely with Ham in the offseason and I've developed my game, so the 20 goals seems realistic. As a team, I think we can definitely win our conference and make a run for the playoffs, as we've got a pretty deep team. If I can crack 50 points this season while having more takeaways than giveaways, that'd be dope.

So, I didn't watch preseason and I don't know how to find the stats, but I did just watch WPG's first game of the season against LAP, and we didn't do badly. We lost 18 seconds into overtime, but we certainly played with passion and had a roughly equal shot count. My player had 4 blocked shots despite being on the third line, which is just apparently something that he's good at every single season no matter what. He's also -2 through one game tho, so that's not great. My prediction for Kimanje is that he will finish with better than a -15 this season, which could be a bit of a stretch since he finished with a -24 last season. But as he continues to improve along with the rest of the team I think that he will be able to fix some of the mistakes he is making while on the ice and get better. He might even have more than ten goals this season, we'll see.

I was not looking much into the other results in the league. My main focus was on my team, how effective I was being on the ice this season and how much work needed to be done to be in contention. So far has been up and down in my first campaign with the Pride, with a couple close wins but mainly getting battered by the better teams in the league. I think we are going to have a really tough time winning the majority of the games but in the end through grit and determination we will make the playoffs even if just squeaking in. I would like to think despite the lack of experience and needed skill I am going to achieve a +50% faceoff margin and contribute 20 points to the team. It is unrealistic being on a young team like ours to turn a +rating but I am hoping to do better than -10 on the season.

I'd like to start this prediction by saying that I feel the Seattle Boaty Eye Face Guys did a great job this offseason and really made themselves contenders this year. I think with the acquisitions they've made over the last few seasons they are finally going to be a force in the west and my prediction for this season is that they will have at least 42 wins. I can't say they are the best in the west because I think Texas will still be ahead of them, but if they finished 2nd in the west I would not be shocked and I think this prediction has a solid chance of coming true. I even bet the Over on them in the SHL casino and expect that bet to be a sure thing this season. The acquisition of Scarn was gravy on top of all the other hard work they've done to build a competitive franchise.

Well if we are talking about extrapolating out a very small sample size across the entire regular season, the easiest small sample size to discuss is how many games I have watched during the preseason. The number is zero lol. I was very busy irl and have not had a ton of time to watch. Extrapolating that out across an entire season would mean that I would watch zero games during the regular season. I stayed true to this prediction today when QCC played first and I was still making lunch, thus missing the game in what can only be called a classic zeagle moment. After a slight kerfuffle with the stream and sim, QCC's second game had to be quick simmed, and I was in a meeting anyways so I would not have been able to watch anyways. I hope to buch this trend throughout the season and actually watch some games though.

Oh umm I aint be paying attention to the preseason like that. I legit have no idea how BAP or Murphy did so brb... oh shit we went 4-2-1 in the preseason. People generally meme the shit out of their lines, but I'll pretend that didn't happen here and say fuck yeah. BAP keeps trending upward. And Murphy even snuck a few points with 2 goals and another 2 assists in 7 games. Hell yeah, I'd love to see a little more PP time since the team has me building a 2-way defender but overall the preseason seems to have gone well and looking at the season I anticipate that Murphy can keep up a roughly .5 pt/gm scoring pace. I don't anticipate us maintaining a .643 pt% through the entire regular season so that seems to just be some good breaks. All things considered I hope Murphy can maintain preseason production in through the regular season and I'd love to see BAP keep things rolling, but don't expect that to happen just yet.

The Toronto NorthStars were 5-2 in the Season 59 Pre-season. They scored 28 goals for an had 18 goals against. Based on this Pre-season I am going to redict that the Toronto NorthStars finish the regular season anywhere from first to fourth in the Great Lakes Division. The Great Lakes is a toss-up at best and no one knows what will happen in this division. It is safe to say the Toronto NorthStars will be one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference and the entire league, but they could also not make playoffs at the same time.

In terms of individual success, Liam Slate finished Pre-season with 2 points in 7 games. Based on the pre-season I would project Slate to finish the regular season at a half point-per-game pace or even at a slower pace. I am hoping that the Pre-season was just a slow start and not an indication of how Slate's season will go, because it if is an indicator I do not believe I will be too happy. I am going to predict 36 points in 66 games.

The Winnipeg Aurora were a 2-5-0 team in the preseason, so judging from this I should prepare myself for a season filled with ups and downs and a lot of pain as we drop games that we should win. The other teams seemingly leapt forward in the Northwest division - or those teams at the top took a slight step back - whereas the Aurora didn't move very much in either direction. Therefore I am fully ready to get ground into hamburger meat in a division that is starting to resemble a western Great Lakes division albeit in a much shallower, less talented way.

In terms of individual success, I Magnus Liljestrom scored 0 points during the pre-season games, so I should expect myself to have a down season after having a successful season last time around. As befits my career so far, it seems that a rollercoaster with lots of ups and downs is the usual and it seems like a down season in S59.

The pre-season for the Manhattan Rage was not the greatest. There were a lot of changes through the off-season that has the Rage looking at a bit of a retooling period. Through seven games, the team was able to pick up three wins and post a goal differential on -2. I think based on the changes the team saw through the off-season and pre-season results that the Rage are going to struggle. They have some youth that will eventually be some of the best players in the league but for the next couple of seasons were going to see Manhattan still relying on the older players such as Wagstrom who led the team in points through the pre-season.

Manhattan also acquired Jack Klompus and Rocco Berni from Minnesota through trades during the early off-season and both players struggled through the pre-season. If Manhattan is hoping to return to the post-season both of these players will need to step it up.

Boris did a lot of training this offseason since the legend himself is getting old. He trained with the hall of fame Scherbluk brothers as he wanted to improve both his offensive and defensive game going into season fifty nine. Now according to the analytics team in Calgary, Boris' ceiling for points this year is 70 and this result has appeared a few times. More assists rather then goals as Boris is re-tooling himself to be more of a playmaker as regression takes its toll on the once two way forward. Now on the other hand, Boris also had some tests come back where he averaged 45 points, making this the floor point total amount. Realistically we an expect Boris to hit the high fifties, but sadly we will not see "the Pitbull getting unchained" as the aging forward has lost some of his physicality. Mind you he can still play a nice defensive game, but don't expect to see those crazy hip checks like we used to

Kelowna went 3-3-1 in the pre-season, and we looked a little shaky in a couple different areas. I'm trying not to place too much focus on it. Not only do I feel like it wasn't a good look for what our performance will be like over the year, I really need to (on a personal level) remain positive about the future. Our loss in the playoffs last year was a huge shot to everyone on the team, and it's very important that we move past it and focus on the task at hand. Dropping a couple of games in the pre-season and early on in the regular season isn't the end of the world. I'm optimistic that things will even out as the regular season goes on, and things will settle where we (mostly) expect them to. We're doing a lot of things right, and overall I think the Knights are going to perform up to the standards that we expect from ourselves. It should be a fun season!

My "hot take"/prediction for this season is that my player, Jarmo Kekalainen, returns to the offensive dynamo that he was back in S57. In fact, I think he tops those totals. Back then, he was a 350 capped player. Wasn't even the top player on the team! Now, he's arguably the player that the team will lean on the most for offensive production. He'll be out there in every offensive situation, playing 20-25 shifts a game. Depending on how SFP's coming off season goes, and how the expansion draft goes, there's an outside chance that he sees himself getting called up to the big leagues next season. So I think he'll certainly go out with a bang (and a Four Star Cup!). So far after day one, he has three goals in as many games. I think he ends up with forty goals and adds around thirty assists. I also think he steps up his hit/shot block game and gets...let's say sixty of each! Hot take baby!!
