Every 'For', 'Against' or 'BS!' that meets the 25+ word criterion will receive 1 capped TPE; 10 or so people will be chosen as Participation+ members and will receive an additional uncapped TPE for demonstrating active argumentative fervor!

Deadline: 10pm ET on Sunday, October 20th

The topics:

Code:
No team is having a more disappointing season than...... the Toronto North Stars??

I'm not sure how this can be argued when New England went from president's trophy winners to bottom of the barrel in the Eastern Conference. The Wolfpack are definitely having a more disappointing season.

I would really like to argue against this because that's my record, but I can't. Kandinsky is on a roll and has had an amazing season so far. He will definitely shatter my record. The dude has 41 points in 33 games already, he's on his way to beating it already with so much time remaining in the season.

Imaging having to live in toronto and then to also play on the North Stars. Now thats just disappointing.

FOR: At his current pace it would be anywhere between extremely unlikely and absolutely impossible if he didn't manage to break this record. Shatter is likely even the better word, because we don't know how high his total number of points will be at the end of the season. Obviously playing alongside one of the greatest (Mikhail Lokitonov) and having tons of sim luck is helping, but we can't deny that Mika Kandinsky is an extremely talented rookie.

For: Mika only needs 4 points in 17 games to break the record. Right now he is on pace for 62 points, and even if he "hits the wall" and gets 8-10 points instead of 18-20 he'll still finish with around 50 points.

I don't see how anyone can argue against this one. Kadinsky has 41 points through 33 games and only needs 4 more points to break the record. Playing with Lokitonov will definitely get him to shatter the record. I would say he's even going to break the 55 point mark and set a very high new record. Even if he were to go on a cold streak, I don't see how he wouldn't get 4 points in his next 17 games.

Never bet on @Waters to perform well in any scenario, just bringing up the fact that he has a shot at it means over the next 20 games, he will be dead last in both categories simply based on spite, which is weird, cause he would only be spiting himself.

FOR picking this one feels like cheating as he already sits at 41 points with 17 games left at pace for more than sixty points, which I sure would like as he is part of my fantasy team yet Im still at bottom of my group.

He has done great work so far but to shatter this record I'm pretty sure team like Toronto will help you a lot as playing in first line with one of best in a league might be only way to make it possible, at least after this season.

Have we forgotten which simming platform we use? Mr. Simon T can be unpredictable, but there is a reason why it is usually the good teams who raise the trophy at the end. Normally I would be against this, but then again, I was on a Montreal Militia team in the early S40's that went to a game 7 of the Four Star Cup finals despite being the lowest seed in the playoffs. It can happen, and the SMJHL is the place for it to happen.

In my opinion it will still be very hard for both teams. but all is possible and we saw many things in the SHL History. So let us see what happen.

Against.
Blue is a great goalie and having another fantastic season (I drafted TBB goalies in fantasy because I am a genius) but he is not the league MVP. He is an easy nominee, but the winner should be either Mikail Lokitonov (for just having an overall dominating season) or Piotr Czerkawski (third in points, driving the best line in the league, and better plus/minus-hits-shooting percentage while playing slightly less minutes than number two in points who is only one point ahead). I would not blink at any of the three winning, but seeing how close Cedric Robinson is to Blue in both stats and shots against makes me lean the other way. I know there are other players with similar point totals but this is my post and I will be biased if I want.

For. It's pretty simple really. Russian machine never breaks. Mika is having a hell of a season and there is no reason that should change now. Get it Mika!

New England is overrated and was a surprise team last season. Anyone expecting them to be anywhere close to as good as last season is crazy. Leitner carried them last season and it is impossible to repeat that unless you are Benjamin Blue. Manhattan just sucks for some reason
