a. Two new finalists mark the end of a dynasty in the west and the return of an old heavyweight in the east. Pick either of our finalists, and tell me what about them impresses you the most!

b. The Forge have won a cup with this core, while the Blizzard are sniffing this air for the first time in a while. Who would you rather be - the veteran team that's been here and won it before, or the hungry youngsters taking their first shot at glory?

c. The Blizzard upended a long-time nemesis in the Aurora to get here, while the Forge avenged several previous losses to the Wolfpack as well. Who had the more impressive victory to punch their ticket to the cup final, and why?

Code:
3. Written, 3 TPE, Forged in Fire (150 words min.)

The Forge and the Patriotes both won cups in recent memory, but while the Patriotes called it a window and tore everything down to the boards, their expansion brothers in Philadelphia have found a way to get back to the dance. How did they do it? Can they keep it up? What should teams like Winnipeg and New England learn from them?

Code:
4. Written, 3 TPE, Winter is Coming (150 words min.)

Unlike their rivals, who have literally never been bad, the Blizzard were deep in the doldrums not too many seasons ago. Now that they've reached the mountaintop, how did they pull off such a strong rebuild? What can other teams currently facing hard times learn from their success?

TRIVIA

Excelsior

2.
A:
I am leaning towards Edmonton with this, they are a roster built for wins now and to continue down a successful path in the future. They have the makings of a dynasty with an amazing goalie, Justin Time, to build from the crease out with. A franchise forward Evan Winter, with an amazing support crew around him. And a fantastic defense core ready to compete. The roster top to bottom is dangerous for a long, long time.

1 TPE

B:
Taking nothing away from a veteran roster, they know how to get it done, how to prepare and how to win it all. I am going to lean towards the newbies, and calling them newbies is not exactly fair. They have paid their playoff dues and worked their way up for a few seasons now getting deeper and deeper runs. This team knows how to win and Edmonton’s “newbies” are the team that will win the cup.

1TPE

C:
I am going to say the Forge had the more impressive win, and this is nothing against Winnipeg, New England, or Edmonton. The Forge, a great team, doesn’t have the same talent as the others listed above. It took some amazing coaching, and players playing just slightly above their average levels to win a hard fought battle against New England. Edmonton and Winnipeg are close to par in talent, so give credit where credit is due with a big win for the Forge.

1 TPE

D:
Edmonton wins it all. They have in my opinion the best roster in the SHL right now. They have the best goalie in the SHL right now. They have paid their “playoff dues” and lost against some of the best teams learned from their mistakes, and this core has done everything to get to the very top and win it all.

1 TPE

My clear choice is Edmonton. This is a team built to be a modern SHL dynasty and this is the year that starts it all off. They have a relatively young core with years left of top level performance and a young support crew that is just starting to reach their prime. This team’s excellence and strategy to win will be to lean on the stars of the team. They will be led by none other than Evan Winters, as an opponent you can game plan on how to stop Winters all you want, but it will be for naught as you can not contain a player like that. He has all world talent surrounding him making that job of holding Winters down even more difficult whether it is Luke Laraque, or Benjamin Surki. If you do manage to slow down Winters even a bit, then the second line attacks with the talented Jack St.Clair and his linemates. Their defense is second to none with the amazing Lousie St.Martin leading the pack but not to be outdone by Emil Egli. Finally, they have the best goalie in the league stopping the puck making scoring goals a true premium for the Forge. This is a roster that is too strong and too well built to lose in a 7 game series. Will they lose one or two games, probably, but they will not lose 4, congrats to Edmonton our new Champions.
