VIP Status babyyyyyyyy - your player has been invited to attend one of the first homestands of the CC finals as a VIP guest - all expenses paid, front row seats, any hotel you want - and it's all on the Commissioner's dime! Are you going to Games 1 and 2 in Tampa or Games 3 and 4 in Calgary? Why are you picking there? And what are you going to do in that city to run up Eggy's tab?? (This is the same prompt as last year but we've got different cities! be creative! Don't re-use what was written last season)

Games 3 and 4 in Calgary. Alexei having been drafted there is exited to see what his team can do even though he is busy with his own finals with the Carolina Kraken. That and Alexei wants to test the amenities of The Big Parm especially the wide variety of parms that he could possibly sample. Alexei more than anything wants to emerge himself into the culture in Calgary hockey and what better way than to see the team that drafted him lead the way in the SHL Finals? As to what he is going to do to rack up Eggy’s account? That is easy Alexei already has pulled out thousands of dollars in singles and has attached them via strings to parms and will throw them after every Calgary goal. Alexei is going to make it rain parms and singles. That and Alexei is going to sample the finest, most expensive bottles of vodka he can find anywhere in Canada.

After a slow start to the regular season, the Dragons have surged of late and have rallied around the #CalgaWe notion of togetherness. On the other side, the Barracuda battled through a difficult East and are led by a very strong young core. Which team are you personally rooting for to take home the Challenge Cup and why?

Easily the Dragons. Not only because they drafted me, but it is a great group of guys. Like the Montreal/Carolina locker room the Calgary locker room has been warm and inviting. It is a great group of guys who are extremely supportive of each other and have some great sense of humor. There is no competition. I am sure the Barracuda locker room is great but I can only go by what I know and Calgary is a great team with people like Esa, Izzy, Slappy, and my boy Weston it is a great group of people and they have been absolutely on fire this season. 2 back to back sweeps speak for themselves.

Which player from Calgary or Tampa Bay would you bet on to win a regular season individual award in a future season? What player and what award? What makes you think they'll live up to their potential and take home the hardware?

Mike Izzy easily. He is a dominant force both on the ice and in the locker room and could easily be league MVP. Honestly, I think most of the Calgary locker room could be eligible for an award, but Izzy puts up numbers, is a solid, stabilizing force in the locker room, and is a great guy. With his dominant physical presence and his ability to put up insane numbers especially when clutch time kicks in proves that Calgary has a great force in Izzy. It will definitely be a sad day when he retires and the presence will be missed on the ice and in the locker room but at this point he is still proving that he has great game and will continue to show the league what he has every single game.

12. Written, up to 5 TPE Pick up to 5 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words to qualify.

A. Each team enters these finals with a red hot superstar - longtime league legend Mike Izzy for Calgary and surprise breakout star Gunnar Soderberg for Tampa Bay. Which of these players will have a more dominant finals?

B. Kata Vilde and Benjamin Blue are two of the best goaltenders in the league - which team has the advantage in net?

C. Do you expect this to be a high-scoring series or a low-scoring series? A mix? Do you think it'll be competitive or will one team run away with it?

D. What's your favorite player NAME on either team? why? (note: not who's your favorite player. which player name)

E. If you could choose any one of the following four options, which would you pick? 1. A chicken parm sandwich from Esa 2. A tray of cookies from c00kies 3. A custom feet pic from JSS 4. An hour long stick and puck session with Jepox

A. Absolute it will be Izzy not to snub Gunnar, but I must go with my guy Izzy. He has proven time and again to provide the firepower and physicality that makes Calgary a dominant force and it will be no different this time. In Izzy We Trust, and you should too.

B. I must go with Benjamin Blue he was otherworldly this season. 2nd in the league with a save percentage of 0.919, third in the season for Goals against average with 2.63. 1st in the league for shutouts for 6 and 2nd in wins at 27. The numbers don’t lie Blue was dominant this season.

C. I think it might be very lopsided in favor of Calgary. With back to back sweeps they are the team to beat even though Tamp Bay is the higher seeded team I just am not sure if they are going to be able to compete with the Dragons in their prime and firing on all cylinders. Will likely be a low scoring affair in favor of Calgary.

D. Esa Parmborg. I like parms, parms are delicious beautiful sauce, delicious chicken…wait what were we talking about? Oh yeah parms they you got your meatball parm, eggplant parm…I mean you can almost make a parm out of anything. Anyways yeah that name makes me hungry. For Tampa I must go with Flacko Lagerfield. I don’t know why I just like saying Flacko. Flacko, Flacko, Flacko. It is great.

E. Easily a chicken parm from Esa. He is a great guy to talk to about any subject and who the hell is going to turn down a free parm? I mean it is a glorious sandwich and it is delicious, and you better be eating one right now while reading this. Capisce?
