a. At this point I would never bet against Chicago up against any none dominate team. While Atlanta has had a few good seasons recently I don’t think they have much of a chance. Chicago being one of the original great lakes teams seems to only fail against other great lakes teams.
b. While I am not a gm and have no idea what to do I will pretend. If Chicago is going to take the puck away then Atlanta needs to get rid of the puck. Do not give Chicago the chance to take advantage of them. Atlanta needs to pass frequently and shoot any shots they get.
c. While Chicago does have 13 more penalty minutes than Atlanta I don’t think that is going to play a big factor. Neither team has a large number of penalty minutes already but I would expect Chicago to pull themselves together and lower that number in the finals. I am unsure about how Atlanta will handle the pressure.
d. I think both strategies are valid and have their benefits. Splitting ice time evenly or balanced works well when you have depth in your roster. Chicago has that depth so running a balanced lineup is a good strategy for them. Keep everyone fresh. Atlanta needs to rely on their top line to do a lot of work. This strategy can work but I don’t think it will work.

Sketchy rich monopoly guy gives me a chunk of cash. Time to make the site the best. First things first I cut IIHF. While money wasn’t really needed to make this choice I know have the power to do it. Next we hire some full time coders, I know we have some pretty smart shl users we might be able to pickup full time, to give the site a couple of overhauls. Make updates an automatic process similar to banking. Next ill use some money influence to talk with out of the park studios about ways to improve FHM releases to promote both better control and parity. Of course making a better fhm would be pointless if I didn’t buy copies for the entire league. Now everyone gets a copy of the new FHM complete with signed copy of a Makrus card and Makrus on the front of the game. Money really does buy happiness.

Epic equipment for sale? Hell ya, Makrus about to hit the ice like we raiding Onyxia’s Lair. First thing Makrus needs is an epic helmet. Lets call it helm of the faceless man. This helmet does everything a normal helmet does but it obscures Makrus’s face. Think Vivi from Final Fantasy but without the eyes or cool magic. Just darkness under a helmet. Not that his identity is safe Makrus needs a weapon. Makrus wields The Faceoffer. A stick that complies with all hockey rules except the end is a shadow flame sickle blade. The blade fits all the requirements of the end of a regular hockey stick but looks super cool and can phase in and out. Giving Makrus the edge in all faceoffs and impromptu death battles. Lastly Makrus needs skates, Skates of the Trailblazer to be exact. These skates create a small current on the ice allow for Makrus’s teammates to gain speed boots when skating in his trail. This lets allies get into shooting lanes faster than ever. After all Makrus is all about the assist.
