Quote:Andrej Doskocil is the toughest guy in the SHL
I have a lot of love for CoA. But that title goes to none other than Slip McScruff.
Slip is a beast. Admittedly, he has around twenty less hits than Doskocil, but has the advantage in shot blocks, 131 to 77. Andrej has gotten into two fights thus far, but won neither. How many times has McScruff fought? None. No one's brave enough to throw down with him.
28 minutes in the penalty box... that's 76 less than Doskocil. Even the referees are afraid of him.
Then there's the intangibles. Slip eats a box of nails before every game, which might explain all the missing teeth. He benches a literal grizzly bear during the offseason. His beard can cut glass. There are countries around the world who, not having an equivalent of the word 'grit' in their language, decided to use 'McScruff' instead.
Slip McScruff is the toughest SOB in the SHL, and he'll run over anyone that disagrees. ■

Ola Wagstrom is the SHL MVP
he's killing it right now with the number of goals he's scoring and I think over a goal per game so yeah, he's been lights out amazing and NEW would not be in the highest of the standings right now if it weren't for him.

Ola Wagstrom is the SHL MVPFor. The Wolfpack lead the league in points percentage at the time of writing, Wagstrom has the most goals in the league and only lags 4 points behind Flacko Lagerfield for the league lead in points with 5 games in hand to catch up. Ola is the best player on the best team.

and so far this season in Edmonton we are having an excellent season and I believe that when the regular season finished, the will sit atop the West.

Quote:Toronto will "beat out" Tampa Bay for the worst team in the league
For. When you've got the seasoned (now retired) tank commander Mikhail Lokitonov at the helm, the sky's the limit for Toronto's floor. He knows all of the worst strats, has all of the worst players, and uses all of the worst lines. How can Tampa even compete?

Detroit will win the 4-Star Cup:
As much as I hate to say it, Detroit probably will win the 4-Star. With essentially a team full of capped out players, and a league leading point getter in Edward Williams, the team who leads the entire J in TPE is unstoppable and has proven it through this point of the regular season, and I don’t see this changing during the playoffs.

Someone with fewer than 425 TPE will win the SMJHL MVP award.
For. But also, low hanging fruit. The top scorer on the top team, Edward Williams, is 350 capped this season. Second place in points is 11 behind his 48, and it's his line mate. Third place is 17 points behind.

Andrej Doskocil is the toughest guy in the SHL
against.
This man is having a great season and definitely someone to look out for in the next line of deviant creatures.. but to be fair you got to be doing it at that level for a little longer then half a season before you become heralded as the flag ship tough guy.
Mike Izzy is 170 hits away from becoming the SHL’s all time hits leader at 3435... a record that's held for more than 25 seasons. until he retires he’s the bruiser daddy.

Toronto will "beat out" Tampa Bay for the worst team in the league
For. Toronto's season has been one for the record books and not in a good way. Their records are similar but Toronto's defense has been awful, with them having nearly 30% more goals against than any other team. Ultimately they won't be able to steal as many wins with the remaining games compared to Tampa.

The Los Angeles Panthers will finish the regular season atop the Western Conference
For.
Thats a talented team with a top tier GM and the services of Coach Creller who has put so much time and effort into the knowledge of this new engine that its no real surprise that LAP is having an elite level season.

For. I had them coming out on top in my predictions and that means that they will do it. That's how predictions work, right?

nice try Hotdog, not taking this karmic jinx bait
Someone with fewer than 425 TPE will win the SMJHL MVP award:
This one on the other hand is basically a given at this point, it seems. Williams has such a ridiculous lead at this point it's going to take the other top scorers who are at around a point per game, just going point per game to catch up to where he is now. To actually beat him out, he'd need to slump hard and someone would need to go on an insane heater. The goals race is far more competitive though, that could legitimately go to any one of a number of players.

One team (Texas or New England) will finish the season without a single OT LossFOR: New England is on pace this season to have the best ever SHL record. As they are currently the team with the highest average TPE, it's going to be hard to seem them lose at all to close out the rest of the season.
