My last day's biggest surprise is Tampabay Barracuda rebranding. I’m not a fan of that color mix but actually, I must admit it works out pretty well. If we talk about hockey results. I’m still waiting for the rising of the New Orleans Specters. They were champs a few years ago and were a destructive force and I’m surprised that they can not pick themselves up for another season. Also, I’d like to give a cookie to a Tampa Bay Barracuda. Their record is improved and I hope to see some of their rosters in play-off games. I wish the best for them. Also, I was not definitively aware of Texas Renegade reborn to the top spot. I somehow missed that. Every one focus on Buffalo or Hamilton or Calgary as top President trophy candidate but these guys in my opinion silently took that. Good job fellas! As a statistics-loving person I must say I like that team win percentage is closer to mean value which brings the season more interesting.


I’m really confused about this task. First, between option, a “game with 6 skaters on the ice at a time” or b “immune from penalties/offsides/icing” more interesting would be option b. The main reason is that imagine You are a fan of a team and they got to finals and probably their goalie was a huge part of it then suddenly rules are changed to 6v6 … people can score a lot more goals in empty netter (except against Rangers – You saw that defenseman?!?) pfff I call it better some kind of fraud. Then better give a rest to a referee and let the boys play! I don’t get about that perk stuff.



I have a plan. Always. After this season I’m gonna improve my physical skills. I’m always preferring the philosophy that if the coach is good the high on physical is a deadly mix. He can use You in that situation that You are needed the most. Last season I upgraded my defensive skills and now I need to push my speed. I believe being too slow was my key fragment of unsuccess. The offense is a tough question because my team doesn’t need that much as an offensive player. More likely a dirty job on the back of my net. I’m fine with crease clearing defensive defenseman role. I hope if I boost my stamina too I could earn more time on ice and more time on the penalty kill. I’d love to be scoring defenseman but being part of the brick that holds the teams' defense is an important role too! When I’ll upgrade my physical and defense, I’d like to improve my puck handling skills from the offensive aspect!


Pfff! No-brainer. Calgary Dragons! Our team is always the elite force of destructive players. This season Parmbourg, Batsbak, and Bouchard line was something amazing and also the second line was doing great in scoring. At the start of the season, the 3rd line was doing a wonderful job on the offensive end. What was the rotten apple? Me. Another rookie who is younger than me made an amazing nearly 30 point season while my player managed to in of the top scoring team to get -8! Clearly, I’m part of that why we lost in series or did not get the President trophy. But I know I will part of that why we once get it! And the Cup!


I always put my money on the horse called Team Canada. I played in their juniors and it was fun. I liked how elite they were but it was unreal to get in their roster even when I would reach my prime. So I decided to switch to Team Latvia because of my Latvian roots but that's another story. So yes – Canada is an elite force of destruction and it is hard to resist them. I also like SHL Team Czech Republic they have a skilled force and I think they could reach some trophies this year. My main question is about this IIHF season's silver medalist – will it be team Japan or will it be team Great Britain? Funny but in real-life they both suck on 1st or 2nd league (That Great Britain wins a few years ago in the real-life was something). Yes, but in SHL they are a nearly destructive a force as Canada. Jon and Martin are my favorites of top scorer of the robin round!



Congrats to Hamilton Steelhawks on winning the series this season! Yes, the series is long over and I love procrastinator specials! The series was not fun as I expected. Buffalo was a deadly force either but somehow coin always flipped in the favor of Steelhawks. If I’m right when Buffalo won the championship last time it was against Hamilton. So they are natural-born deadly rivals of this SHL generation. Although I’m a fan of Micheal Scarn (just because of Office no SHL related) I would give him MVP (best name - seriously) but I can’t. Aaron Wilson was a better driving force for a team to win this championship in my opinion. Better all-around situations and in the end having +10 +/- and having most goals tying teammate Theo Morgan. I think Aaron did exceptionally well.
