Looking back at the seasons, we saw some nice improvements and could finally hope that it’s the last time that two out of the great lakes division are up for the finals. Most guys said that the Texas Renegades run to the president’s trophy was just because their division was so weak. But they took Hamilton to a game 7. So, it couldn’t be just because the division was weak, the Renegades are going to be a powerhouse in the future. But the biggest surprise comes out of the great lakes division, to be clear it’s one big surprise. Toronto in the playoffs and the champion of S57 Chicago Syndicate missed the playoffs. To be honest, everyone was just waiting till Toronto could finally challenge the big 3 and pass one of them. It was a little surprise that it was this season already and that it was Chicago they overtook in the playoff race. We will see if they could do it again next season.

That’s a pretty easy decision and not really something you would thing about to long, because the options are so one-sided that it brought a little smile on my face. As the home team I would use the immune from penalties/offsides/icing. Why? That’s easy if you don’t can get penalized for anything you do on the ice. There is no chance that the visiting team will have enough players to end the game. Or they would be to frightened to take the puck. Because I would give out the order to my team, that they should slash at everything that gets in their range and put down everyone till they get knocked out. After 20 min the game is over because there will be no healthy player left to step on the ice again.

Going out on game 7 the round before the finals, there is not much time gone to think about what you should do different next season, beside winning this fucking game 7. But for the reason the cup finals are done as well, by the way congrats to the Hamilton Steelhawks, we had some time to think about it. Looking at my team, I guess you would agree to me if I would say the Texas Renegades just have to wait and keep on the good work, they have done the last couple of seasons. The roster is stacked as hell and the most of them are not in regression yet and the few that are should be able to fight it for a long time. Guys like Kekkonen or Wachter aren’t young guns anymore and are now elite players in the league. A lot of younger guys in the team are just a few steps away to be an elite player. So, I personally will not change much, it’s just a matter of time till we reach a final.

I mean in the SHL it’s obviously the Chicago Syndicate. They went into the season as the champion and have been one of the top dogs for the cup again. But everything went not their way and it led to watching the playoffs at home on the TV instead of playing there by themselves. You could say that was their fault, but it’s not that easy. It’s the fault of the system we use in the sim. The best 4 teams of a conference in the same division, is something you don’t see often and with only 3 of them making the playoffs we will always see a team out that could easily win a cup if they get hot in the playoffs.

16. I want to say thank you to all my team mates in Texas, they are an amazing group and i hope we will have a lot of success the upcoming seasons. But the biggest thank you should go to @puolivalmiste our GM. Without his FHM knowledge we still would have a good team, but i am not sure if we would be at the level we are now. All the work and hours he spend for finding the builds that fit our taktik best and let everyone in the team know is absolut tremendous great. Hope he still has enough energy to keep it on and get us a cup finally.
