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?

This season was pretty damn good for me. I finally started on the 1st line of a team and was pretty damn good. I ended up making the Edmonton Blizzard record books and the only sad statistic I can give myself is the fact I was 1 goal off 20 goals. I am mainly a passing player mind so that is not exactly an awful thing but to really be making a case of how fucking good Jon Forty-One finally is, is great to see happen. I am now one of the better players in my shitty draft class and proving all of the dicks in minors wrong. The Whalers are still cursed and overall it is great to see me max earn.

I kinda stopped caring about anything other than Great Britain and personal stats for the Blizzard cause I want to become one of their best ever players and closing in on the top 50 already. So yeah, overall pretty good.

What are your predictions for the upcoming IIHF or WJC tournament? What team do you think will win/surprise people/be bad/etc.?

I think the United States will once again choke to get to medals. Now this is a bold statement sure since they usually have the most Total Points Earned but they will forget to take out the back up goalie like they stupidly did last tournament and then get rekt again by a god awful team again. Thus missing medals. I think the safe bet past that is Canada, Great Britain and Czechia winning a medal or hell. Gold, silver and bronze in some form of order since they have the most Total Points Earned.

I cannot see any other nation really playing well enough unless groups help them out and they fluke an upset vs someone. But hoping for flukes is not exactly going to win you gold medal any time soon.

I hope Latvia surprise people though. I have not seen them do anything in a long time so it would be nice to see them get far. I am mainly just hoping for more cash so then I do not need to do media any time soon.

13. Written, up to 4 TPE Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. Both of these teams have stacked defenses - which team do you think has the defensive advantage in this series?

b. In the two regular season matchups, each team won once at home. Do you expect the results to reflect a home ice advantage in this series?

c. Based on FHM player ratings, New Orleans has higher average ratings in bravery, aggression, and fighting? Will that toughness have any impact on this series?

d. What is your favorite name from a player appearing in this series? Why do you like that player's name?

e. There are several animal names in this series - which of these animals is the coolest? sloth, hippo, otter, monkey, fox, kirby.

A - I will pick Buffalo purely cause I think they have the better D players and players with more TPE. So that would also mean that they are not facing as hard offensive players. Buf are the favs and NOLA struggled hard vs Blizzard so would make sense that they have the better defensive players. [55 words]
B - I mean it could but I think this will be over in 5 games. Like NOLA do win a game at home but Buffalo just own them in all the others. I cannot see them putting up much of a fight in away fixtures in Buffalos arena but maybe upsets happen. Just do not think they will. [58 words]
C - Nope not at all. Sure they will be the more aggressive team and will probably win fights more but that just means to me that Buffalo have points in more important stuff and will score more goals or simply stop them from scoring as many. It is a nice bonus but not enough to make a difference. [58 words]
D - One sec, I am just going to look this up cause I dont give a fuck about these teams usually. Oh it would have been Elizabeth Doyle but the winner is Monkey D Luffy. I like One Piece a lot so he instantly wins it for me. Just a fun name even though he would be a shit ice hockey player if he was real. Stretching wouldn't really help him. [70 words]
E - The Sloth wins it. Purely because of the user. I love slothfacedkilla. He is fun to talk to so naturally he beats all of the other bollocks animals. The sloth is also a pretty cool animal and whilst I love Otters the clear winner is the sloth for me. All other animals need not apply. [56 words]
