I had a terrible season on the ice this year. Don't really know what happened, but after scoring 45 points on the best line in the J last season, I really took a step back. Its funny, because I somehow ended up better as a 350 than I was at a 425. I think it really comes down to having a rough start out of the gate, and that got our whole 1st line a little off kilter. We turned it up big time in the second half, but it would've been nice to finish off our time together with a stellar season filled with goals and assists, just didn't end up that way. My goal is to always hit a point per game, and even though I haven't done that yet, I think I might be able to do so next season. Who knows, just have to stay positive and look forward.

This expansion draft is going to be wild. I think a lot of teams are hoping for the best and expecting the worst, and I genuinely can't place how the draft will go. There are so many good defenseman in the draft, but not very many forwards, just because of how the protections ended up. Teams like Chicago could get completely drained of their Defensive corps, or they could end up having no one taken at all. I'm excited to see how Tig and Hotdog work this out, and I'm sure we'll see a lot of unexpected picks in the first few rounds. Will they go for unprotected S53'ers? or for vets to try and compete right away? There's so many angles to take and I don't know which one each GM will take. I hope this opens up some spots for younger players in the minors, as it seems we're getting full in the big leagues with all these high earning TPE players.

I think Canada is going to repeat as IIHF gold winners. Its just as simple as having the best team, the best fed heads, and the best coaches in the game. We're seeing some new blood get called up to the big tourney, and after waiting as long as some of us have to before we make our debuts for the team Canada, I think there's going to be a fire under the new guys. I think team Germany is a dark horse to make a run in the tournament, as their fedhead seems to be pretty good at strats in FHM, and the German hockey program has been growing a lot lately in terms of players and TPE growth alike. This could be one of the most competitive tournaments yet, and I'm excited to see how it all shakes out. My final prediction is Canada beating the United States in the gold medal game, with Germany winning Bronze.

a. I would give the edge to New Orleans in terms of defense this series. Rex Kirkby is obviously the leader of the Specters defensive core, and he's an absolute stud for them. Thats not to say Buffalo are slouches, just that Kirkby and the ghost boys are the better pure defensive corps.
b. This will be a barn burner series, and that is in large part due to each team's barn. Both team's fans are notably loud and passionate, and its gonna be tough for either team to get their feet under them while traveling with how notoriously wild these two fanbases get. It'll be quite the atmosphere no matter which house they're in.
d. Gotta be Rex Kirkby. Guy is unreal on the ice, and on top of that, his first name literally means king. Imagine getting flattened on the ice after picking up the puck on the breakout and that guy is standing over you? No thanks. Another good name is Monkey D. Luffy. Even though his name is kinda goofy, he's disgusting on the puck and makes the other team look very silly more often than not.
e. Hippo all the way for coolest animal name. Hippo Passamus is a great play on words, and the saucy mits this guy has shown off this season makes his surname very fitting. He's going to be a big key for Buffalo this series, distributing the puck on either side to Kholin and Luffy. I'm excited to watch a line like this play in the finals, as it'll be a true test of just how good they really are.
