In this alternate reality, the S53 playoffs went very differently. The Calgary Dragons did not lose to San Francisco in 6 games in Round 2, in fact....they won the series in 7. In these current playoffs, Calgary was up 2-1 in the series, but San Fran won the next 3 games in a row to win in 6. Not only did Calgary beat them in this other universe, every goal scored in that round by the Dragons was from Mikael Choybuk. Mikael had 21 goals against San Francisco, as his shots were all going past goaltender Chris Partridge with ease. It's hard to say what happened to Choybuk in this season, but he was just on fire. The Dragons then won the next round, and proceeded onto the finals against the Manhattan Rage, who in our current reality won the cup. In this alternate reality however, Calgary swept the Rage in 4 games, while Choybuk and Parmborg combined for 10 goals in those 4 games. It was a big playoffs for Choybuk, for sure.

After redistribution for S54, I actually do not necessarily think the top teams will change too much. I think New England will be up there, as well as the Edmonton Blizzard, Calgary Dragons, and yet again, the Manhattan Rage. The Rage will need to defend their recent cup, after all. Teams will a high TPE squad will now get control over a more realized FHM system, and be able to implement the attributes they want from what they discovered throughout S53's sim. It will definitely be interesting to see what teams adapted in what way of course, but I think because of some teams and their good amount of TPE, they will just stick up top by that reason itself. It's not totally difficult to figure out the best ways to upgrade your player once you have a mindset of your archetype, so with just a few adjustments, things will mainly stay the same. It remains to be seen which players will completely change because they didn't like their build, however. We could potentially see a lot of different players in the Top 10 scoring next season. However, obviously, some people who were just in the top 10 in S53 will keep their build the same to remain there, and because of that I think their teams will remain on top.

Well, everyone knows about the infamous loved food of the Calgary Dragons, right? In these finals, some Calgary Dragons still get the spotlight, despite not even having their team in the finals themselves. During the 2nd intermission, we would like to represent the Calgary Dragons Chicken Parm Cook Off! Some Calgary Dragons will bring their kitchens to the ice and duel it out to see who can make the most delicious chicken parms! Who will be there to judge the dishes? Well, none other than some legends from each team in the finals, and also some Calgary Dragons chicken parm legends, Esa Anrikannen and Michael Boychuk. Watch from home on TV or from the audience as your Manhattan Rage and San Francisco Pride legends try some chicken parm dishes alongside Calgary legends, while current Calgary Dragons players like Mike Izzy and Esa Parmborg, Mikael Choybuk, and Kata Vilde make their favourite parmesan plate. We will draw a number from the audience who will come down and help out one of our Dragons chefs.

Last time Mikael Choybuk was in LA, he actually did get noticed by Hollywood. The TV executives took notice that he was one of the best snipers in the SHL, and they used their influence to get him onto a film set in the CW superhero universe. Those shows film in Vancouver, so he have a brief stay over there to be the next Red Arrow. They even let him throw a little dragon on his costume to show that Calgary Dragons flair. Obviously, the CW Arrow team and Mikael Choybuk saw that there was a nice crossover between being a sniper in the SHL and being a sharpshooting sniper with a bow and arrow.

If I had to choose an MVP for the series, I would have to pick the Manhattan Rage goaltender, Peter Larson. He had 2 goals or less scored against him in 5 of the 6 games in the finals. Let me put it simply: Peter Larson was a stud in net. This guy saved 194 out of 206 shots, which is good for a 94.2% save percentage. You just can't ask for anything more than that out of a goalie in the playoffs, especially in the finals. To be put on the world's stage against the San Francisco Pride and boast a 0.942 save percentage is amazing. He is definitely my vote for MVP.
