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?

I personally root for Tampa. like mentioned above, they had a really tough division. Still they managed to seperate themselfes from the other teams in their division. They were the second best team during the qualification and battled hard during the playoffs showing why they deserve to be in the finals now. Besides this their spirit is awsome. I was out drinking in a bar when i met some Tampa players. I just realised how tight of a group they are. This was such an inspiration for such a young gun like me. Just shows me why a good atmosphere in the locker room is important. Hope one day we will achive this in toronto !

Are there any changes to the playoff format you'd like to see implemented? More wild cards? Move to a single-elimination to bring about even more chaos? 999-game series to minimize chaos? Be creative!

The most awsome addition would be a drinking game before every game. Then everytime your team takes a penalty or gets a goal you have to pour one to get punished. Would award the team which tries to play the most for the rules. Also would i prefere some hot chicks in really tiny clothes on the ice to motivate the players even more. For their security they would be in a full cage. Maybe would slower down the pace from the game a bit cause everyone is glaring at the girls but would be really fun to watch. We could also put in some males for the womens in the rink.
Another good addition would be a boxing rink in the middle to battle out the fights you have with the opponent. Just getting into a real hot box fight during some intermissions would give the whole game another factor of heat.
Nah to be honest i like it as it is currently but jeah some of these additions would be fun.

Alternate Reality: Physicists and other smarties believe that this reality is just one of infinite realities existing alongside this one in parallel. Take us over to one of those realities in which everything is the same but these S50 playoffs have unfolded differently. What happened in this reality's playoffs and who's in the Challenge Cup over there?

Alternate Universum 6942069 is where the Annaheim Outlaws won the four star cup and got qualified for the challange cup as well. Coming into the Challenge Cup as newcomers they surprised everyone with winning against every team in their way to the finals. With their prayers to the big simon and the even bigger outlungus and his master the glibberi gibble they even went on to win the challange cup. As Ivan Maximus shot the series deciding goal an outlungus appeard in the center of the ice and gave every player of Anaheim a gold medal and some magic sticks with which every shot would go into the goal. With this the outlaws will go on and win every cup in the future seasons. if this was not enough the Outlaws decided to contest in the IIHF tournament and to no wonder they won the IIHF tournament as well. As the almighty Outlaws realised no one was a match for them they asked the big Outlungus to get them a good competing team. Which wish he followed and created an awsome team so the Outlaws had to battle a bit for their wins.

A.
That has to be Gunnar Soderberg from Tampa Bay. Gunnar is a real leader on and off the ice. I watched some games from Tampa this season and everytime Gunnar was on the ice the team was better... He just showed everyone that he is the best leader. He is also an awsome dude off the ice. I hit a bar with him and man he is such a chill and fun dude.

B.
For me Tampa has the advantage in net. Benjamin had a 0.92 save percentage that is really good. To be precise the second best save percentage in the league. Also did Benjamin face 41 shootout attempts. There is no goalie besides him who faced that many shots. And he hold 75% of these shots. Man as a defender to know that you have such a good goalie behind you has to feel awsome.

C.
Personally i hope the series will be strongly dominated by Tampa. Just because i set on them to win it all! But Calgary played really good the whole playoffs so I hope they get a fair chance at winning the cup. And for scoring i think it will be a mix some games the goalies will dominate and some games the players keep on scoring. Around two to four goals a game per team will be normal i think.

D. For me thats Maui from Tampa. First off Maui is a beautiful island in Hawaii. Just look at it on google it just looks awsome. But to be honest the name Maui for me stands for vaiana and i love that movie, mostly because of the soundtrack, and jeah in german the fat dude in the movie is called Maui.

E.
That has to be an hour long stick and puck session with Jepox. I cant eat any products made with farine which kills one and two. I dont really like feet. So the logically awnser is four. And jeah which hockey player does not like stick and puck? I could do it everyday. And jeah it helps me develop and be a better player in the SHL.
