Michael Scarn had an interesting season. While his two linemates, Monkey D. Luffy and Buffalo newcomer Matt Kholin had incredible success, each tallying over 70 points on the season, Scarn struggled to find consistency in his play both in his playmaking and his goalscoring capabilities. Scarn ended up well off the pace in points compared to his two linemates, tallying just above 50 points on the season. While this would be an impressive tally for most other players on other teams, Scarn nevertheless was disappointed to see such poor results. Part of Scarn's struggles could have been because he was shifted out to playing on the wing instead of playing at center, where he has played for nearly his entire career. Scarn feels more comfortable distributing the puck from the point, and so playing at the wing disrupted his style of play and likely led to the deterioration in performance we saw.


Scarn and the rest of his teammates on the Stampede paid close attention to the Challenge Cup Finals this season. While they were bitterly disappointed to have claimed the Presidents' Trophy for the regular season with the most points among any team and still come up short of even playing for the opportunity to win a Challenge Cup, all of the team watched the final series of the SHL season with great curiosity. From observing the series between the Specters and Steelhawks, one can analyze each team's style of play and do some advanced scouting ahead of next season. The Stampede were pretty familiar with the Steelhawks, having played them in their last five playoff appearances, but did not have much experience playing against the Specters. The Specters and Stampede have rarely met in the regular season, and the Specters should retain a strong roster for next season so the Stampede watched the series with great interest.


Secret agent Michael Scarn is the perfect person to investigate the disappearance of whoever this Sergei guy is. This prompt is very weird because I have no idea who you're talking about, so yeah this is an unfriendly prompt and while I know it's probably here because funny meme, not really nice for casual members to write about. Anyways, Michael Scarn has a nice background working in the FBI and the CIA so he knows how to track down people just by having the slightest scent of them. Scarn's investigative work is fantastic so he will find Sergei and bring him to justice.


Flacko Lagerfield has an excellence chance to make the Hall of Fame when his days with the Steelhawks are over. Lagerfield has now logged the most points in the SHL for the past two seasons, and I am not sure if he has done it more since before then but this accomplishment is already impressive. Lagerfield is an absolute scoring machine for the Steelhawks, and truly a nightmare for any goalie in the crease on any given night. His playoff success is also fantastic, and I think Lagerfield's impressive performance even as he ages will be duly honored with a spot in the Hall of Fame.


Alexander Selich of the Buffalo Stampede would make a great sports analyst for the Challenge Cup TV presentation. Selich is one of the most intelligent players in the league, and his leadership on and off the ice helps organize the Stampede to be a contender year in and year out. Selich is also very cool headed, so his level of analysis would certainly be without bias even when commentating a series between the division rivals of the Stampede, the Hamilton Steelhawks, and long time SHL contenders the New Orleans Specters. Selich also hails from a rich heritage of hockey success, as his predecessors in the Selich family were hockey players in the SHL as well. Selich's rich background and attention to detail is what makes him an outstanding player, shown by his ability to convert from a winger to a leading defenseman quickly. Selich would be an excellent addition to the booth.
