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?

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 will be rooting for the Tampa Bay Barracuda. It’s their first time playing the finals. They are all young and I would like to see a new champion. Tampa have dominated the East so many seasons but they always failed in the playoffs. I believe this is their year. I also want JSS and his team to win. He put a lot of effort since he became the GM. The team was terrible when he got there and he was able to turn things around and become the best in the East. I couldn’t get him a cup when I was his GM in Detroit so hopefully he gets his own with his new friends!

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!

What we need in the SHL is more playoffs action because that’s fun. A way we can have more fun is to change the bracket style. Let’s change to a double elimination bracket. With this bracket, there will be more games played and there will be more new matchup since the losing teams will have another chance in the losers bracket and face off each other. With this new format, teams that get upset early could play better in the losers and make a crazy run through and potentially have their rematch against the team that had defeated them. I would like to remove the conference so we likely get different matchups every season. Fans are tired of seeing the same two teams play against in the first round. I would want to see how Tampa Bay can do against the western teams. The West are full of veterans players so it would be interesting to see young cuda against the West.

13. 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?

I’m going with the easy pick. Mike Izzy is a legend for a reason. He has won two Challenge Cup and I believe his going to get his third cup. He has been the best two-ways player for so many seasons. He has more experience than Gunnar Soderberg. I bet 1m $ he’s going to shutdown Gunnar in the finals.

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

My pick is Benjamin Blue from Tampa Bay. He’s one of the best of the player in the league. He hard carries the Barracuda. I don’t think Tampa Bay would be first-seeded without Blue. Vilde is inconsistent but they have a strong group of defense so it’s going to be a close one between those two goaltenders.

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?

I think it will be competitive. There’s a high chance it would go to game 7. I like Calgary offense. Mike Izzy is still the best even if he doesn’t get those high scoring stats in the regular season. He will always be clutch but they are going against the best goalie. Benjamin Blue will make this series a lot more challenging.

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

My favorite player names are Benjamin Blue and Rainbow Dash. I love the color blue and I’m happy Benjamin is having a great career in Tampa. Also their team color is blue and Benjamin is their best player. My Little Pony is one of my favorite TV show when I was a kid. It’s nice to see someone named Rainbow Dash playing in CC finals.

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

I would pick a custom feet pic from JSS. This person has alien toes. I have never seen someone else having alien toes. JSS could be trending in the future if he shows his toes to the world. I would be on the pic so I could become popular and have so many followers on Twitter!
