S54 Championship Week

![]() Registered Posting Freak Code: 1. Written, 3 TPE (150 words min.) This season was an interesting one for Krash. Ideally you see the team progress overall as they improve with your player, but this season saw Baltimore post a worse record than the previous season and Krash put up the same point total with 26. Being a team focused guy, Krash would rather play 3rd line with pk minutes and get 10 points all season with the team posting a competitive season and making the playoffs. Unfortunately as things are falling out it looks like Baltimore is in for a few more relatively bad seasons where they might over preform, but it’ll be a waiting game to let the current prospects simmer and continue to develop into grade A potential. Hoping to be able to grow and increase his point total even if the team takes on some more losing ways will be the small light at the end of the tunnel for now as there are a few rough seasons to go. 162 Words, 3 TPE Code: 2. Written, 3 TPE (150 words min.) Krash is always interested in taking in some SHL action. Unfortunately being on the outside looking in on the playoffs is something that he has started to get used to so far, failing to make it into the playoffs with the Platoon. As a general rule he can be found hanging out at one of the team’s home city for the duration, and this time is no different as he will be spotted in New Orleans throughout the finals. As far as watching the games, he’s always in attendance for the home games and partaking in pre game and post game events such as tailgating and bar crawling. If he’s familiar with some of the players from one of the teams he usually tries to wiggle his way into after win celebrations with that team. One day the hope for sure is to be the one hosting these parties, but for the foreseeable future piggybacking off others success will have to do. 162 Words, 3 TPE Code: 4. Written, 3 TPE (150 words min.) I think that Sweden has a very solid shot at meddling this season for the IIHF tournament. We have a solid roster with some league leading players from the SHL throughout the lineup. I think that it is a very good look that I’m not looking to be on the top half of the forwards line – I feel I work much better as a shut down player anyway and it means that we have better players taking on the offensive roles. We also have one of the better goalies in the league in Vilde. I think the biggest contenders to take home hardware are USA and Canada. Both nations have extremely deep rosters, and I feel that this allows them to roll lines more evenly, and they can also exploit other nations lower lines which might have less skilled players on them. If they are able to run full lines of over 1100 TPE players than they get a huge advantage over other teams who are icing weaker secondary lines. --170 Words 3 TPE-- Code: 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. New Orleans has the big goaltending advantage in this series. To be fair it would not really matter who they were facing because they have had the best skilled goalie in the league the last few seasons now, but until now they have not fully meshed to give Cain the support to go on a cup run. --57 Words-- Code: b. There are two Johnsons in this series - Gabriel (HAM) and Darnell (NOLA). In fact, the two used to host the Johnson & Johnson Podcast together, but they're now on the ice as bitter rivals. Which team has the better Johnson? Hamilton has the better Johnson in this series. Darnell may look better, smell better, be more respected and just be all around a better human being, but unfortunately I have to give the pure sim hockey sense for the S54 playoffs to Gabriel. He had a clutch 2 ot goal vs Buffalo and he has an annoying knack for clutch performance. --61 Words-- Code: c. The Specters won both regular season matchups, but Hamilton finished with better team stats overall. Do regular season head-to-heads provide an accurate forecast for a playoff series? (answer predictively if it hasn't happened yet; reactively if it has.) Absolutely not. First off all the regular season doesn’t matter aside from just making it into the play offs. Secondly Hamilton was able to pump up stats vs bad teams like mine. You play the regular season to try to put together the best overall strat for every opponent. Come playoffs you are designing specific tactics to exploit weaknesses on the other team, or to shut down certain players. Entire different strategy. --72 Words-- Code: d. If SDCore offered you an all-expenses paid week-long vacation to either New Orleans or Hamilton, which city would you choose to go to? (tough choice I know lol.) How would you spend your time there? Absolutely New Orleans. All offense intended I do not think anyone in their right state of mind would select to go to Hamilton instead. I would be doing my best to take part in the southern culture, enjoying some delicious meals at some authentic restaurants, enjoying the night life and perhaps visit a voodoo doctor or two in hope of making Krash a better player. --65 Words-- 4 TPE Code: 16.
