Task 12: (Written, 3 TPE)
Theres no path to the finals without a little bit of adversity. In 150 words or more, write about the adversity one of the teams faced on the road to the Challenge Cup Finals. (*tag anyone involed)
What could be a more comparable stat for this Point task then being down 3-1 in the semi finals? I'm not sure a lot more could be directly compared. That's exactly where West Kendall founds themselves not to long ago against the stampede. Having lost games 1,2 & 4 against Buffalo by a combined score of 9-5 the platoon were still in this, but hanging on just barely. What happened next, is something you dread as a franchise on one side and dance around excitedly as the other. West Kendall proceeded to fight tooth and nail and bring themselves back from the edge of defeat. Winning the next 3 games in a row, they punched their ticket to the finals and on the back of their goalie. 2-1, 2-1, and a statement game to finish it off, 3-0 got the platoon another shot at the cup as their main core ages with a chance for many to bring their 3rd cups home.

Task 05: (Written, up to 6 TPE)
Pick up to 6 challenge cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth '1' TPE. Each answer must be '50' words or more.
4. Which player do you believe will be the differance maker in their franchise winning the title here in S47?
I don't think you can get an easier question than this one to answer heading into the finals for the Platoon. It would have to be the goalie Beaujeaux Biscuit. Baring a monumental collaspe, his .950 save percentage is enough to put him into the halls of legend and win this cup alone if Calgary can't solve him early in the series.
5. After trading off there best players and declaring themselves in a full rebuild back in S45, The Calgary Dragons have made it to the S47 finals.. just 2 seasons later. Choose: ('No surprise', 'mild surprise', 'major surprise' or 'in shock') and explain why.
Mild Surprise

Here you have a team that was essentially the definition of league slightly above average. They weren't a bubble team by their team stats, but weren't anything to necessarily fear out of the gate. The Playoffs is a different beast, and maybe it's the team channeling some ghosts of the past to lead them where they are, but I dont think anyone called the Dragons in the finals
7. The West Kendall Platoon are back in the finals after a season out of the playoffs and a team that was in serious regression Choose: ('No surprise', 'mild surprise', 'major surprise' or 'in shock') and explain why.
Mild surprise

Sure they were the 1st place team in the league heading into the playoffs out of the eastern conference, but with the way things looked to be going against the defending challenge cup champions, many I think checked out of the idea the Platoon could actually make it, but well folks here they are, ready to go.
8. Star netminders Kata Vilde and Beaujeaux Biscuit have both carried there teams into the finals. Which franchise goalie has a better chance to carry their franchise to a title?
Beaujeaux Biscuit bar none. Just look at their comparative stats and the teams in front of them and you know the Platoon veteran has more than just an edge. The series is his to lose at this point and baring a massive collapse by the offense and defense, the platoon should tidy this one up in short order....hopefully.

Task 09: (Written, 3 TPE)
Which organization that didnt make it to the finals would you consider to be the biggest disappointment? What do you think are the main reasons why they fell short this season? (Must be 150 words or more)
The Edmonton Blizzard.

Infighting seems to be a regular occurrence with this franchise from what I always seem to hear from the grape vine and I would expect with some media that this was no different this season. Whether it's the leadership group unable to reel in the members with fire in the bellies or problems with the general manager and they way he manage's things, there is something sour in the Edmonton Water. The team has all the talent in the world, but continually seems to implode on itself like the Washington Capitals of old, and current actually. This is a team and roster that SHOULD be making it to the finals and WINNING them more often than not. After a cup win, they have gone 0-2 so far, and seem to be heading back to where they once were. Time will tell if they can pull out of this, with the window for this league being so large, but something needs to happen there to reel this madness back in.
