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.
1. Breakdown this finals matchup for us, how will it play out? who will be the stars of this series, what will the outcome be? (*tag anyone involved)
I think both teams are equally matched but I think Calgary is the team who will come out on top in a heated game 7. Calgary's elite players such as @~~Mike Izzy~~ will show up big time in the final game and be involved in the game winning play. Top stars of the series will be 1. Otis Driftwood @Slappydoodle 2. Crossfit Jesus @CFJ 3. Mike Izzy@~~Mike Izzy~~
4. Which player do you believe will be the differance maker in their franchise winning the title here in S47?
In the end, I think Calgary will take the title and in order to win the championship, you need your goalie to be in top form. Therefore, I believe the difference maker in this series will come down to how well Kata Vilde plays between the pipes. With a bit of momentum and some clutch saves during a 7 game series, you can find yourself on the winning side with the right back stop playing for your team and I think Vilde is coming ready to play.
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.
No surprise - this team is known to be a winning team throughout their SHL years so to see them bounce back and be in the finals is really no surprise to me at all. With veterans on their team leading the pack and some fresh blood filling their roles well, it was only a matter of time until Calgary was top of the stands once again.
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.
No surprise - WKP are also a team who is known to compete even though they play out of a state that isn't known for hockey prowess. WKP, a consistent playoff performer, rides on the coat tail of their netminder Beaujeaux Biscuit and veterans like Crossfit Jesus. The way I see it is, if you have a Jesus, especially one who does crossfit, on your team then you are almost always poised for a good playoff run.

Task 07: (Written, 3 TPE)
You have been given the responsibility of organizing the National Anthem(s) for both teams in the Challenge Cup Finals. With the entire world watching the league feels its imperative that who ever you choose really encapusates the persona of the team and their fanbase. In 150 words or more, let us know who you chose for both teams, why you believe they represent that franchise and anything notable about their performance,, IE outfits, accompaniment, etc.
Since we have teams from both sides of the border, we will have to make sure that both nations are represented equally and properly. With Calgary coming from the Great White North, I think it is best that we bring down Canada's queen of music, Celine Dion, to sing the national anthem. She will be accompanied by two of the red coat cop guys on horses and she will make sure to sing the French version for half the anthem to really bring everyone together from the GWN. When the USA anthem comes on, we will have no one else but Jim Cornelison to lead the anthem because no one does it better than our boy Jim. He will be sporting his signature black suit and alongside him we will have honorary veterans standing by, with a giant bald eagle call at the end of the anthem to lead into puck drop.

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)
Buffalo Stampede - The reigning champions fell short of the repeat and given their power rankings in S46 vs S47, many would say that their performance could have been better. Buffalo showed some life by advancing to the conference finals but lost their series to West Kendall Platoon after being up 3-1 in the series. Buffalo fans, who let's be honest.. are used to disappointment across all sports, could barely believe their eyes when they watched the horror unfold and many wondered how this could happen? Well in my opinion, I feel that some red-hot stars of last season were a bit dull this time around. For example, Dermot Lavelle put up a show in S46 playoffs with 7G 9A (16P) in 17 games, whereas in S47 playoffs he only managed to put up 0G 6A in 13 games. Oliver Konig also had 20P in S46 playoffs in 17GP, whereas this time he only had 1G 4A in 13 games. Simply put, Buffalo's top tier guys who rallied their team to a championship last season were simply shut down or not firing on all cylinders this time around and eventually lost a series which they should have closed out. Perhaps if they made it to the finals, these guys could have found their groove and repeated glory in the northwest NY city, but it seems it wasn't meant to be.
