10. What do they do different?
Both teams had some bad seasons in the past where they had the chance to get some high picks and grab some really good players that will put them at the top of the league again. So, I think teams need to have some bad seasons from time to time to get one or more high end prospects that will help them be back at the top.

11. It's About Time
For the regular season, I think Texas had a season way better than expected! We had one of the worst tpe ranking team but still managed to finish a top 5 team in the entire league! Don’t know how we did it and if our GMs made some magic or something, but I’m really impressed with our season.
For the playoffs part, New England went farther than expected for me, I had them loose in the first round haha! The first round against Buffalo was a 50/50 so I can understand they won it, but I’m really surprise they managed to win against Montreal and got to 7 game against Tampa Bay.

13. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Old Reliable IIHF Analysis
I think Canada will win the IIHF this season are they are at home. They are always competitive and have a chance to win it all. For me in Québec, we are still a young team trying to improve every tournament. We were at home in Montréal last tournament and finished at the 9th position. With only 3 points, I hope I can do better in this tournament and help the team be in a better position and make the medal round.

14. Volatile Results
I think it’s fun that way, there is a bit of luck involve in each tournament so we can see some surprises and I like the format we have at the moment. I don’t even know what change I would do, maybe do a 2 of 3 for the medal round, because elimination game for a medal is probably the only part I don’t like.
