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)

Calgary is a bit of a shithole with nothing to do so I'm going to FLORIDA BABY. Tampa is probably a pretty nice and warm city, so first thing I'm doing is heading to the Gucci store and buying some shorts and a nice polo shirt. Gotta look sharp if I'm heading to Amalie Arena $7,000 suite to watch the game in comfort. While I'm there I obviously have to eat, so lets buy a couple things of overpriced stadium food, say a hotdog and some nachos. Next we obviously have to see a football game, not something you can do in Chicago so let's get the most expensive suite at the football stadium, which I've heard goes for around 33,000. Now, hopefully we have enough time to watch the Lightning get eliminated in 4 by Columbus, and we have to get front row seats to see that misery of a series. Finally we have to fly back to Chicago, but let's make a pit stop in Dubai first and fly Emirates first class.

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?

Personally I have to cheer for my real life home town Calgary. Calgary has been looking for a cup for a while, and have some good people on the team, not to mention SHL legend and my personal hero Mike Izzy. Izzy has been the face of the franchise for a while, and with the amount of work he's put into the league he deserves a cup. However, I don't hate the barracuda, they also have some amazing people on the team including pris and their general manager Jepox. Overall I won't be upset if either team loses, and I'll be happy if either team wins, just a little more happy if Calgary wins.

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?

To explain this sudden change in the universal laws, we have to look back to the regular season and the wacky things that happened in Chicago. First of all, all star Cameron Carter 2 lights up the season, breaking SHL records along the way. He scores over 90 points and 300 hits on his way to unanimously win the Dar, which is the weirdest thing about that statement. However, it wasn't only CC2 who picked it up. The whole Syndicate organization had a fire in their play, all players posting career seasons in the 52-0 season and a goal differential of +300. Come playoff time they crushed everyone in their way. The Buffalo Stampede and New England Wolfpack are no match for CC2 and his level of play, and Chicago easily makes it to the finals, where they face a Calgary Dragons team with Mike Izzy leading the way, fueled on big parm. Chicago takes this series as well, but not without a fight, as the series goes to 7 games.

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)

Well, I think this player should be obvious, and that player is the best player on the Chicago Syndicate, and is possibly the best player in the world, Cameron Carter 2, also known as 10 by 10. The should-be dar nominee has been tearing it up in the SHL. He's one of the best players on the ice even when he's on the bench, and was the only player in the league to finish with over 200 shots, 200 hits and 20 shots blocked, or a triple double. There definitely is hope for CC2 though, as Chicago is a young team on the come up with players like Jules Watt, Corey Kennedy, Nick Connolly, Ryan Shepard, and the Smeb brothers. The future is bright for the young Syndicate team, and if Cameron Carter 2 sticks it out, he will surely be rewarded with a cup finals, and potentially even the Challenge Cup.

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.

The series and playoff MVP has to go to Mike Izzy, Dragons legend. Mike Izzy was instrumental to Calgary's reverse sweep, putting up points in every single game of the finals. The consistency shown by him throughout the playoffs, and his dedication to Calgary certainly proves that he should be the series MVP. With 32 points in the playoffs, split evenly between goals and assists he's shown his offensive flair, and over 25% of those points came in the finals. Mike Izzy can certainly step up when needed. He also played a strong defensive game, throwing his body 68 times and getting in front of 6 shots while playing big minutes certainly proves he was the most valuable player to Calgary.
