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)

Oh this is a tricky one. First and foremost the main question is which city I hate less, and that all boils down to location, so im going to games 1 and 2 in Tampa, swimming is fun, and Calgary weather is finnicky. Now since this is all on Eggy's dime, the first thing I did was look up which hotel was the most expensive in Tampa and thats for some ungodly reason is the seminole Hard Rock hotel and casino at over 400 bucks a night. Now obviously I will be using some of that sweet sweet egg money to get gambling credits, gotta avoid an evander kane situation. Obviously at the game im rocking a brand new Gunnar Soderber @sköldpaddor jersey, gotta represent the friends. After that, well, im just going to get the most expensive of everything like I do every year, treat some buddies.

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?

Honestly both of these teams are awful and many of us are rooting for team "Natural Disaster" but I have a few reasons as to why I would choose Tampa over Calgary. First and foremost I have friends on Tampa. Secondly Tony Ford of the Los Angeles Panthers has a longstanding bet with several Tampa players where, if Tampa wins the cup first, Ford has to do graphics and lose money. Honestly I would pay to see Ford suffer, so thats good enough for me.

Welp, you waited until the last day to grind out your CW and the CC finals are longggggggg over by now. congrats to [TEAM], woo! 

Reflecting back on the series, who gets your vote for series MVP? Make the case why this player deserves it over any other.

Suprise move! Im going to do this before the playoffs even start, fight me technical sandwich boy (love you @hotdog) My MVP is Gunnar Soderberg. The Nicest player on Tampa, and a friend of mine. Gunnar's been quiet lately (for reasons some of us know) and has been super busy, but despite that theyre keeping up with training and pushing to be the best they can be. If thats not MVP worthy I dont know what is. Otherwise, in my opinion, no one else deserves it, especially not Calgary players. Given all of the hoopla surrounding the team and such. Honestly these playoffs just remind me of the Superbowl, yea its big and awesome and totally boring and no one cares.

9. Graphics, 3 TPE

Your team is looking to put a new mural outside the locker room. Design what the mural will look like and be sure to 

represent your team and city!

I dont EVER do graphics, so this looks awful, but i can explain, this is an actual mural in Hamilton, so this, plus steel gerters (which is what ive depicted here) would be fitting

Who's the best player that you have witnessed in the SHL never to make it to the Challenge Cup finals? 

Or what player that hasn't made it to the finals is most deserving and why? Were they close? Was theirs a story of hearbreak?

Is there still hope in the future? (150+ words)

This one is super easy. Ive uptalked my friends alot but one player who is deserving of getting to, and winning a Challenge Cup is Corey Kennedy (@SDCore). He constantly works his ass off to better himself, his team, and this league, and if there is one player that for sure will make it, its him. Whether its with his current team or not hes going to do all he can to add the challenge cup to his collection of trophies. His story isnt one so much of heartbreak as it is, his coaching staff could pull their heads out of their asses, but otherwise i dont really know what to say. This whole one hundred and fifty word thing really fucks me sometimes when I get my point across to the best of my abilities but havent quite hit the required amount, I mean half of this is me rambling to fill space, I promise ill have more to say next season when Hamilton is in the finals.
