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. Winnipeg made the finals last year and came up just short against the Forge. Last year, their offense ran through Mikko Rashford - this year, their top line has been much more of a balanced attack, with Gonzo Gobbledygook and Lias Ekholm-Gunnarsson stepping up hard. Does this make Winnipeg a stronger team, or would it be better to spread this firepower out and run multiple scoring lines?

b. New England finds themselves in a similar situation to Winnipeg's last year: star winger Petr Svoboda has an absurd 30 points in 23 playoff games at the time this is posted. 18 of those are goals, 12 are assists: how do you shut this guy down?

c. Olof Karsikko has made 823 saves in these playoffs, nearly twice the number of saves made by Winnipeg's Rebecca Montagne. What can New England do to help their tendie out? Or should they settle on a strategy of allowing their goalie to face a high volume of low-danger shots to get in the zone and stay hot? Alternatively, how can they rattle Montagne?

d. If it ain't broke don't fix it: Who you got? Who wins? Why?

a. I think that Winnipeg is a really strong team with lots of talent and it is best to spread that talent out as much as possible because it is tough for the wolfpack to keep up pound for pound. They would have to get some lucky matchups to get an edge regardless of where the peg places its pieces on the board.

b. I think the easy answer is to just smack him in the back of the head with a stick but the more difficult and more real answer is to just smack him in the balls with the stick but its a tough target to hit when you're flying around on the ice.

c. Karsikko is going sikko mode and all you need to do is work on offense and let that guy eat all of the pucks for breakfast lunch and dinner. Montagne will crack under the pressure once she lets a few in and Karsikko is going stronk. No mind games will be necessary.

d. I think that the Winnipeg Bear persons should easily win this matchup, the wolfpack are tired coming off multiple 7 game series and their depth is lacking so their only strengths are their star players getting hot at the right time. Its scary to rely on things to just keep working out rather than having the experience and the patience of peg.

3. Written, 3 TPE, History Repeating (150 words min.)

Tell me about something good that happened in your SHL career which you hope will happen again! What is it, what will it look like? Did it happen to your current player or one of your former players? What can you do to stack the odds in your favor?

I hope that I can get a game 7 finals hattrick again. Ideally still with Buffalo as that would be a crazy way to end my career. Also because of the implication that I would be winning the cup based on that and I would get a second cup so that I don't look like a loser with only one cup when all of the cool people have like 2+ cups. I need tomen to buy a bunch of really good players and stack the deck because I probably am not gonna be able to do that without getting fed a ton and missing like 40 shots before the third one goes in. Its one of those things that will look good on paper but if you actually watch the game I was kinda floundering and getting carried hard. Regardless, 3 playoff goals are good for that stat padding and thats all I really got going on right now.

Code:
4. Written, 3 TPE, Dream Series (150 words min.)

Many teams have rivals they'd love to trounce in a playoff series. Maybe you as a player have another specific player you'd love to beat to win the cup and lord it over them for the rest of their lives. Tell me who you'd love to play in a playoff series and why! Why would you love to beat this team or player? What would it mean to you or your team? Keep it friendly.

After going 0-3 against the stupid steelhawks in the challenge cup finals I still have not had my vengeance on them. So I would like the steelhawks to git gud again just in time for buffalo to come back and cut them down and then head on through to the finals, even though we cant play them there anymore. It is always fun to match up against other s53ers that are still skating around so I think it would be cool to go up against sven svensson or jimmy wagner or one of those old farts that are still hanging on for another season. It would be a nice way to close out our careers and hopefully Buffalo takes the win because wagner has too many cups as it is and he doesnt need another. I guess this actually did happen this season though as we took the wolfpack to 7 with burlok sulfurgold and they eventually won it but he has too many cups now too and needs to spread the wealth.

Code:
6. Written, 2 TPE, Hopeful Haiku  (5 words min.)

Write a haiku telling me what you hope to accomplish in Season 71! A haiku is a three line poem where the first line is five syllables, the second is seven, and the third line is five again. None of your lines may rhyme with each other.

It has been too long
The cup should be coming home
Before I go die
