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)

I would definitely go to games 1 and 2 in Tampa over games 3 and 4 in Calgary. Its not that there's anything wrong with Calgary, so much as there is not much to do there.

In Tampa, and Florida in general, there are many great golf courses that I could attend during the day while killing time before going to watch the Finals. Need to improve my handicap so I can one day try and make the US Open as an amateur like John Smoltz or Tony Romo. What better places to practice my craft than Copperhead Course at Innisbrook, or at TPC Tampa Bay. Those challenging courses will certainly lead me on the right path to the US Open, or a mental institution for the mental strain of such an infuriating game.

Also, while in Tampa, I may do some demolitions work at Tropicana Field, so the Tampa Rays can finally have a new field to call home that was meant for baseball.

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 am rooting for the Calgary Dragons to win. The Tampa squad in season 49 made it impossible for me to do well in SHL Fantasy, while taking Otis Driftwood this season, yielded far better results.

Other than that, I have no real interest in who wins the cup, as my player still plays in the SMJHL. While I would have enjoyed seeing my employer, the Los Angeles Panthers, make the finals, they did not. Therefore, I have little reason to celebrate the Cup finals at this time.

If Tampa wins so be it, Calgary does who cares, neither are the team I have any vested interest in. Soon, though, the Panthers will be the talk of the town.

As competition ramps up for the playoffs, players (both those still in and those eliminated) work extra hard to improve areas of their game that are lacking. What one area of your game do you really needs to focus on improving and how will this benefit the team?

While Kalevolaripaavo Käspertommevisnapuu is listed a sniper, a sniper he is not. He still needs to greatly improve his scoring in order to be a benefit to the Los Angeles Panthers in the future.

Sure while he may have 29 goals in his first 2 seasons of the SMJHL (100 games total), his shooting accuracy is well below average. In fact, he has just as many that miss the net completely or get blocked, as he does that hit the goalie square in the chest. Which is far too many to be honest.

So this offseason he is going to improve the accuracy of his shot. This, hopefully, will make Kalevolaripaavo finally hit the corners of the net instead of the crest. To turn him into the sniper that he is supposed to be, instead of in name only. With the improved accuracy, and in turn more goals, Käspertommevisnapuu can become a vital piece of the Los Angeles Panthers offense.

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?

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. I have to go with Mike Izzy here, there is a reason why they call him a living legend. You play at a high pace for a long time, and are proven when it counts. Soderberg is a great reveal, but he just doesn’t have the length to show for it like Izzy does.

B. In this matchup, definitely have to say that Tampa holds the upper hand in net. Benjamin Blue stats in the major areas were better than Kata Vilde in all areas. Nearly one-third better goals against average, and 15 points better in save percentage, is a true sign that Blue is better than Vilde. Blue also had 6 shutouts to Vilde’s 4.

C. This series I think will be a competitive contest, possibly going the distance. There could be a mix of high and low scoring games, as the goaltending will be crucial in this regard. Blue is capable of stopping anybody on a good night, but Calgary has some serious firepower to run the score up. Tampa’s youth doesn’t quite have the offense of Calgary, but Vilde is capable of letting up some soft goals. Blue’s netminding and Calgary’s offense will ultimately be the matchup to decide how long the series will last, and the scoring the will occur.

D. Maui is my favorite name of either team.  Short and simple to remember, and it is only one name like Cher.  Hard to forget one name, that cannot be mistaken for ones that have the same last name or first name.  Maui is also a beautiful island that I would hope to visit sometime in the future.

E. Easiest of all these tasks to do, in that it is a simple choice, Esa’s parmesan chicken. First off, Esa and parmesan go hand-in-hand and I love myself some chicken parm. Next we have cookies from c00kies, no offense @c00kies, but I just don’t have an affinity for cookies, or sweets in general. Then we have custom feet pic from JSS. I admit I have perused the internet in search of pornography high and low, and seen many a fetishes. While I can see the appeal of many fetishes, the foot fetish has me stumped, easy pass on JSS’s feet pic. Next is Jepox’s stick and puck session for an hour. Having played hockey for a majority of my life, my hands are made of stone. I doubt one hour of tutoring at my age will have any impact, sorry Jepox.
