I'm so honored to get a chance to go have a good time at the home stand of my choosing for the finals.  So you know I've got to go to Boston.  Great town to walk around and drink in.  It's also a great hockey town so you know I think I'd need to go see it.  I could even learn something about American history while I'm there.  Then after the games I'll probably walk around town and go party all over the place.  They also have that great seafood there, so you know I'm running up the tab at all the best seafood restaurants around.  Bottomless lobster?  Yes, please.  Then at the bars I'll be getting top shelf vodka all night long, maybe some bottle service at a club later on.  If everything is paid for, you know I'm going to do it big.
Tony Pepperoni (@"TommySalami") walks down an alley of Edmonton all by himself carrying nothing but a hockey stick and wearing an Edmonton Blizzard sweater.  All of a sudden all of the lights in the alley go out except for one.  Into that spotlight, a Wolfpack of actual wolves, step.  A close up of Tony Pepperoni's face as his eyes narrow.
Tony: Give it your best shot!  
Suddenly the wolves lunge at Tony Pepperoni.  Tony dodges and throws the wolves off to the side of him.  He's using his stick like a kung fu master.  The wolves attack from every which way, but Tony Pepperoni is able to fend them off.  He takes a slapshot as if one of the wolves was the puck and the wolf goes flying into another wolf.  Tony Pepperoni then dashes forward and body checks one of the other wolves into the side of the building.  The wolves eyes do a cartoon-like bulge out as if his eyes were being squeezed and popped out of it's head.  
Tony: Had enough?
The wolves scamper away, Tony looks satisfied.
Tony: I'll be ready for you when we meet again.
Graphic for the SHL CC finals goes up with all the details.
I think it's great if kids are looking up to me as a player now.  I'd say the most important things about my game are my work ethic in practice.  I'm always training to be better every day on the ice.  I'm always around the rink or in the gym working on some part of my game whether it's speed or strength or working on my positioning.  I think the best thing you can do is to make sure you know how to look at your own game and find your weaknesses and then work on them.  I think believing that you are really good so you don't have to work very hard is one of the worst mentalities that you can have in hockey.  So you should definitely practice every day and make sure to do the things that you are worse at.  If you only practice what you are good at, you'll never really improve as an all around player.  I pride myself on my two way game and my skill, so to be well rounded it's a full time job.  So keep practicing and dedicate yourself to the craft of playing hockey!
The team I tend to play well against has to be Detroit.  Detroit is our biggest rival and I can't help but get excited when we play them.  I think I get more focused and try to bring my game to another level.  I'll do anything to help my team win against Detroit.  Whenever you play your rival, you want to go out there and be a difference maker.  It is more prominent in your mind than when you are playing another team you don't have as much of a disdain for.  So that really juices me up and gets me to go all out in those games in particular.

A.  I think that the trio that Edmonton brought in are going to have a bigger impact than the trio from New England.  They have already combined for 36 points together compared to New England guys' 27.  I also think that New England is having so much success off of Gordie Boomhover @gordieboom that everyone else's efforts on that team will look quieter.  


B.  Gordie Boomhover is my first pick.  He’s a beast of a player and also my ex teammate from St. Louis.  He’s dominating the playoffs right now and leading the Wolfpack in points with 18.  So he’s my easy pick.

My next two forward picks are being taken from Edmonton.  I’m taking Teddy Cuddles and Tony Pepperoni.  Not only are these guys studs in this playoffs with 18 points each, they’ve also got some of the best names in hockey.

On defense I’m taking Brady Mcintyre from Edmonton who has 16 points this playoffs, and averaging just over 26 minutes per game.

My second defensive pick is going to be Perry Morgan from the Wolfpack.  Morgan has 13 points and is a +13.  An absolute 5v5 monster.

C.  I think Johannes Leitner is the goaltender with the edge in this playoffs.  The simple fact that the Wolfpack has only let in 34 goals in these playoffs compared to the 61 goals let in by the Blizzard tells most of the story for me.  I think the Wolfpack are playing great defense in front of their goaltender, so I'd say he has the edge in this matchup.

D.  I hinted to this in one of my other answers, but my favorite name in this matchup is Tony Pepperoni.  It just rolls right off of the tongue and it makes me think of that show the Sopranos which I love.  So yeah, Tony Pepperoni is an amazing name and definitely the best one in the challenge cup finals.

E.  Right now I'd love to be eating some nice salami.  No offense to hotdogs which I also enjoy, but that salty cured italian meat is just something special.  You can also pair it with some great cheese and a beer or wine and really make a meal out of it.  Since summer is over now, I'll have to go with salami over hotdogs.
