The Philadelphia Forge of the Simulation Hockey League have encountered some close friends of the third kind. This time, it just so happens to be that it's an alternate universe where it's the National Hockey League instead of the Simulation Hockey League. This seems odd and weird to the team, but it's becoming obvious, very quickly, who the kindred spirits from the alternate league our. It's bound to be none other than the current Dallas Stars. You see, the Dallas stars, while not new to the league, have a decent mix of a slightly aging core but a good group of younger players who are biting at the opportunity to make it in the league. The Dallas Stars, unlike the Philly Forge, have made it past the first round of the playoffs in years past. Even making it all the way to the finals they call the "stanley cup", weird.

The weirdest thing that ever happened to Frederico Von Schnicktenburg is when he was younger, he was visiting different countries. He was out in the sticks, but it was all just regular farmland. There were a ton of crops growing, but no 'farms'. Fred was driving late one night back to the house he was staying at and out of nowhere, there was a horse reared up on the side of the road. It turned around and ran back into the wooded area, and Fred went back to the house and told everyone. Not a single person believed him and thought he was drunk. Horses weren't anything new back home, but here it wasn't something you saw every day. Seeing one on the side of the road at two am is not something that's expected. To this day, no one believes Fred even though he was in fact, stone sober. It's a shame because it was a good-looking horse, too.

There's absolutely no question that the coolest thing that's ever happened to Lord Zomp was the day that he woke up and found himself having a massive piece of cinnamon toast crunch as a head.
It's almost like he had became spiderman, although instead of being bit by a spider he simply ate a metric ton of cinnamon toast crunch and found himself becoming it.
There's no question that he lucked out with the fact that he still had eyes and mouth and wasn't simply a generic piece of cinnamon toast crunch. One of the downfalls or upsides depending on who you are is everything that he eats from this point on tastes like cinnamon toast crunch.
The only other cool thing that I'd even be able to consider is the fact that he's a player for the Anchorage Armada in the Simulation Hockey League, soon to join the Tampa Bay Barracuda's in just another season or two.

The night was quiet and my air conditioner blew air and noise around my bed room to keep me still as I count sheep in my sleep. All of a sudden I wake up from abrupt shaking and a bright purple light in my face. A mini alien saucer was flying over top playing images of a parallel universes video.. and it looks very similar to what we play in the SHL. It showed hundreds of 5-10 second clips of all their apparent teams, the players and everything like that... some had foreign space names like the Dallas Stars... Capitals.. and then you had some of animals like the Penguins and Panthers. One player was strong, brave and very good and he reminded me a lot of my father, Magnus Jakobsen, and of what I can be and wish to fully become. There was a player there by the name of Alex Ovechkin. He could slap shot from his magical spot like no other.. and despite always doing it.. no one could stop it or him.. he could hit.. he was tough.. he was a champion.

Thank you purple light. I will be like him one day. (197 words)

For a while, the Los Angeles Panthers could be similar to the toronto maple leafs where there were numerous first round exits. This happened maybe 4 or 5 seasons in a row and many times to a lower ranked team. Perhaps this was the parity we were all looking for but still disappointing as leaf fans probably are after last night. Currently with a couple of deeper runs under our belt I would say that the current panthers could reflect the San Jose Sharks of 7-8 seasons ago where they always had a good team but could never really make it all the way in the end. Hopefully this will change in a couple of seasons and we can be like the capitals where after many years of trying we finally break through. That would be the goal at least to get at least a single cup victory to our name because at the end of the day that's what everyone wants.

It is difficult to make real world NHL comparison to the Texas Renegades, which is a team that has undergone massive changes recently by starting a rebuild and going from genuine cup contender to a bottom feeder over the course of one off season. This type of drastic change does not occur so rapidly in real life as teams generally have their star players locked up for longer term deals and players don't regress as much, causing a much more gradual decline. If I had to choose a NHL team to compare to, then I think the San Jose Sharks would be a apt comparison. Both teams were cup contenders not too long ago, but they weren't able to draft and develop enough talent to remain at that level, causing the need to start a lengthy rebuild. While it may take several seasons to get to the top again, both teams still have solid veterans players and a few young guns to help them continue to play competitive hockey.

Lemo is a mainly a healthy lifestule kind of guy, doesn't drink much, doesn’t smoke... at least not regularly. He has tried this or that, but mostly found it a waste of health and money. But lately, occasionally he has started to do it more than ever before. Maybe it's been the accumulating stress of moving his whole family from Texas to Toronto and having to deal with all that this entails when there's also children involved. Well, to get to the point now, a few days ago Lemo lost his cool a bit and had a bit of a breakdown. But things cooled down after a while amd then he really felt like he needed to get out of the house and have himself a cigarette. He tries to keep this developing habit from his family, because he does not want to set a bad example for his kids. Now when Lemo smokes at all, he smokes only one kind of cigarettes: I won't name them, because that would be advertising cigarettes and we don't want that here, despite what this story sort of tells. So Lemo goes off to the nearby store to buy himself a pack... and they're out of that particular kind. So he goes to the gas station across the street and... they're also out. But so by this time Lemo already feels better enough from the short walk that he decides to forgo further search for them and just have a coke and a smile on a street corner and later try to hold off on buying another pack for as long as it seems unavoidable. So that's my weird story, take it or leave it Tongue

AJ Williams has had some weird stories for sure throughout his playing career. The craziest that comes to mind is when his Major Midget AAA hockey team travelled north to Timmins for a hockey tournament. The team left at night so that they would arrive in the morning a day before the tournament to do some team bonding and check out the city. It was around 2am with a couple hours left in the bus ride, everyone was asleep except the bus driver. The driver was dosing off a bit and missed the turnoff through North Bay and started heading towards Sudbury. This is when it gets weird. On the way to Sudbury there are a lot of res places where you can buy cheap stuff. At 2am there was one place open selling the best chew in all of Northern Ontario. When driver pulled up to buy a tin for a nice head buzz, the res cashier pulled out the prices and to the driver’s disbelief, it was $30 a tin!! The driver was desperate for a dip so he bought it anyways and got back on route to Timmins this time.

I really had nothing to write about that was a lame paragraph lol.

Just taking a look in general I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Tampa Bay Barracuda of the Simulation Hockey league are somewhat Similar to my favorite national hockey league team. The New York Rangers. In recent history prior to our rebuild, we were competitive in the STSH era, made it to the Challenge cup finals but ultimately lost. After a short rebuild period we started to get competitive. We make the playoffs consistently, but haven't really been able to make it out of the first or the second round. In the SHL, it seems like Atlanta is holding our cards. We have a great, well built team, but struggle to make it far in the playoffs. We have a young home built core that have been with the team for a long time now. The aging core has been around for their entire careers and just love to call their team and locker room home.

Interviewer: Can you share any piece of history that you'd find unique about yourself?
Harrier: Eh, like what? I'm kind of a character myself, y'know.
Interviewer: Just speak of anything you hold dear to your heart.
Harrier: I mean, I could tell you about the first time I killed a succubus but I think you would want something more... family-friendly, y'know what I mean?
Interviewer: ...Yes, preferably.
Harrier: Well, then. I could talk about... y'know, back when I found out my folks were demon hunters.
Interviewer: ...Wait, that's a thing?
Harrier: Yeah, when ya look hard enough. My family's whole lineage is kinda like that since my great-grandfather. Y'know, the guy who beat the Devil at fiddling. That's my real old man, though he's still kicking somehow. Anyway, they hooked up when they were studying to become hunters themselves. I actually found out when we moved to Brazil. There was this huge demon chicken roaming around Rio, it kept killing stray dogs and all, just a mess. My parents left one night to fight that beast and while they were able to keep it away from the public, I got a glimpse of them slicing the chicken's head off. So they just came clean about it. I've done my bits here and there, but it depends on the demon. Not all of them are violent, so we got no reason to strike back at all times.
Harrier sighed.
Harrier: Sucks but it's the way it is, y'know.
Interviewer: Do you think they'll believe it?
Harrier: That's really open to the reader's interpretation, ain't it?

In this parallel universe where the "NHL" exists and teams battle for the "Stanley Cup" on a surface level the team that mirrors the Minnesota Monarchs just based on location is the "Minnesota Wild" who oddly have the same logo as the LA Panthers. Going beyond the surface level and face value comparisons a team that is most similar to the Minnesota Monarchs would be the Buffalo Sabres. I'm not too familiar with the Monarchs history but from the time I've been on the team, they have ended their seasons towards the bottom of the standings and end up with a top 5 pick in the draft lottery for all the incoming rookies. Similarly the Buffalo Sabres have followed the same story finding themselves towards the bottom of the standings generally ending with a top 10 pick. Both the Sabres and Monarchs have been using their draft picks to select talent that can be built around while also maintaining a veteran core to help the rookies and new talent develop. Within the next few years, both these teams will be worth keeping am eye as talent develops and find their groove propelling the Monarchs and Sabres towards the top, back into the playoffs and hopefully making deep runs to the finals.

As I the St Louis Scarecrows of the SMJHL a minor league, I noticed while learning of this "NHL" that there is also a minor league "AHL". I immideatly noticed some similarities in us and Toronto Marlies. A struggling team with great past, sounds exactly like us! As I learned more about them, I also learned of their NHL team, Toronto Maple Leafs, who also, despite packing high caliper talent in the front, are a struggling franchise in the playoffs, with a glorious and rich past. They also sound similar to us! We have a lot of talent, but haven't been able to put it together. I believe they will be similar to us in future too, since we are going to be contending for the cup as will they in future. I hope to see them succeed in the endveours and raise the cup with us in the other universe
