Reflection on your season - how did your player fare on the ice this season? Did you meet or surpass your individual player goals or did you come up short? Whether you excelled or disappointed - what can you attribute that to? What will you try to do better next season?

(173 words) To be completely honest not just this season but the past several seasons have been disappointing ones for Brady McIntyre. When I came to the SHL you would see players last literally 4 decades and still have great seasons. With the switch to FHM we can't really do that anymore. Now I know that switching to FHM was both necessary and a good thing, but it really sucks that Brady got dinged at the exact time when the switch hurt the most. Just a couple seasons after he started regressing. We're getting closer and closer to Brady's final sunset, I just wish he could break the 45 point mark one last time before it happens. 11 goals and 23 assists isn't bad, not bad at all. He's a killer on the power play. But it's just not quite up to the standard that I've set for Brady. Losing in the first round of the playoffs hurts too. And only 3 points in 6 games, seriously? Dude needs to step it up next season.

Well, dang. Your team didn't make the finals this season - my condolences to you. Are you and your teammates planning on watching the finals even though you're not in it? If so, what are your watch parties like? If not, are you still following the finals or trying to ignore it completely? What are you and your teammates doing together (if anything) instead of following along? (if you're on Hamilton or New Orleans, or either of the 2 SMJHL teams that soon will be playing in the finals - congrats and sorry :p this one isn't for you!)

(161 words) Brady and the guys are fed up with not making the finals. Honestly fuck the finals, if you lose you don't watch the winners, go out and get fucked up! We're talking Vegas and week long benders. The off season is only so long right? Can't just loathe around and let it pass before the next season starts, it is the little amount of time that we get as professional athletes to really let loose before the next season comes back in full swing and hits you like a freight train. Bare minimum we're hitting 5 clubs a night and blowing hundreds making sure we don't have to deal with bullshit. VPI lounge everywhere or I'm heading to the next place. Clean Andrei is gonna tag along and be the designated driver cause you know he's reformed and shit. And if he isn't reformed then you know buddy can muck it up, right? Guy can party with the best of them.

It has been publicized a decent amount on this site but Hamilton prospect Andrei Kostitsyn's brother Sergei appears to be missing. Does anybody know where Sergei? What have you done/what can you do to help Andrei track down his brother?

(122 words) Sergei has been missing for so long, I feel so bad for (Clean) Andrei and I'm going to spend the 2nd half of my off season searching for him with (Clean) Andrei if he hasn't been found. I think it's obvious where we need to search. He's going to be in one of either 2 places, Moscow partying it up with none other than Vladimir Poutine or in Vegas partying it up with some Russian mobsters. I'm going to Russia with (Clean) Andrei and I'm recruiting my boys Blastmeaway and Karlssens to check out Vegas. We'll find him (Clean) Andrei, I swear we will. And if we haven't by the start of the next season I'll skip the preseason to find him.

S54 IIHF Predictions - with one FHM IIHF season under our belt, we've got a bit more of a sense of how the tournament might play out in the new sim engine. What are your predictions for the S54 IIHF or WJC tournament - how do you think your team will fare this season? Who do you think are the biggest contenders to take home the hardware and why?

(207 words) For my money I think I have to go with the classic picks for the IIHF this season. Now that we all know what FHM is like it comes down to TPE and GMs and I think both of those things really favor the classic teams. That means USA, Canada and Czechia. Before someone gets up in arms about Czechia not being a "classic team" I'm not talking IRL classic I'm talking SHL classic, and if you don't consider Czechia a classic team you probably haven't been paying attention to the IIHF for very long. We're not a team that was great in the early seasons, but the contemporary SHL has had Czechia as one of the top teams for a long time now. I'm thinking 1. Czechia 2. Canada 3. USA. Czechia just has that mix of great GMs and great players that absolutely is unmatched by other teams. The defensive group is absolutely ridiculous when it comes to TPE and the top 9 for forwards are all above 1000 TPE with only 2 players on the entire roster below 1000 TPE and those players are above 900. The team is just stacked, and with the acquisition of Conor Tanner this IIHF offseason they're even scarier.

Occasionally, broadcast networks will bring an active player into the TV coverage of ongoing finals if their team has been eliminated, and that player is often to give unique insights from a current player's perspective. During this NOLA-HAM finals, which SHL player or prospect would be a good addition to the Challenge Cup TV coverage? Why would that player be a good addition to the broadcast team?

(160 words) I think that the best person to bring on during the NOLA- HAM finals to help cover the Challenge Cup Finals would be someone who has already won a Challenge Cup and knows what it feels like and takes to win it. I think that would provide a very interesting perspective that not a lot of people have and therefore will create great content for viewers. Based on that I'm going to go with Andrej Doskocil. Doskocil is somebody that I know personally from playing with him in Czechia. He is a hell of a minute muncher and really likes to lay the big hits on opposing players. Everyone wants to bring in somebody like Ola Wagstrom or Luke Thomason, but the grinders and the stay at home guys really play a big part in bringing home cups too and I would like to show the rest of the world a bruiser's viewpoint, and Doskocil is an extremely talented bruiser.
