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

a. During the Conference Finals Panthers had no players who had multi goal game, yet they beat the Texas in 5 games. Can New England shut down a team with such depth, how could they do it?

b. On New England side Ivan Lacksamus is back on MVP form, scoring 15 goals and 38 points in 19 games, including the 15 points scored in Conference Finals. Should Los Angeles try to find a way to stop him or hope that their stars kick in the next gear to meet the challenge head on?

a) I think it is going to be very hard for a team to try and stop a team with that much depth. They are clearly getting help from their whole team, everywhere up and down the lineup. They also had the leagues best player in my opinion, who led the league in goals and points if I remember correctly.
b) Last season, New England had a lot more of a set up like Los Angeles has this season. Last season, every single player was on a tear for the Wolfpack and they could not be stopped. You would man mark one, and the other players on the line would be able to make a difference. Stopping Ivan Lacksamus is the number 1 priority for the Panthers in this series in my opinion.

3. Written, 3 TPE, Been there, Done that (150 words min.)

It has been 10 seasons since Panthers last won the cup and Yannick Svoboda is only player left from that team. While for the New England this is 4th finals appearance since S70 and multiple players have been there for all of them, including the two cup wins. Will that experience triumph over excitement or will it make them overconfident? Will the nerves of Panthers get better of them now when the stakes are the highest? Which team has the mental advantage over the other and how big of an impact you think it will have on the match up?

Going to the finals this many times is fun. Like I mean, really really fun. And take it from me, who has ben able to be here for the ride with the Wolfpack. The only problem with always being in the finals is the toll that it takes on your body and mentally too. It is exhausting. It is tiring to be playing this many games every season. And, let us not forget the fact that it adds a target on your back when other teams want to beat the best and beat last years winners. The Panthers are coming in the finals very hungry. They were not happy with the way their season ended last season and they were able to see the Wolfpack be underdogs in a couple series last season and still triumph and come out on top. They kind of had to do the same thing this season, even thouhg they finished 2nd in the season, they were never really considered to be the top dogs in their series. SO they have a lot to prove, not only to win, but also to show the haters that they are a force not to be reckoned with.
