VIP Status again babyyyyyyyy

Once again I'm choosing to go to Edmonton since last time I had such a great time, only difference this time will be that it's in the middle of winter. I have looked up things to do in Edmonton during the winter and some of the ideas I was given sounds like a great time. There's an event were I can bring my dog and have him pull me around on skis, which is great because my Siberian Husky Aurora doesn't like when I'm gone for too long. I'll be taking place in the Cup festivities, including a new event for winter time, who can shoot the fastest snowball. That's one of my favorite part of these events, even though I don't play on either of the teams the fans love getting to compete and hang out with players from around the league. At night I hope to check out the night life and local bands to see if any of it compares to St. Louis or Boston.

The two finals teams have decided to team up for a fundraising opportunity to benefit both cities. What noble cause will the teams decide to benefit? What sort of fundraiser will the teams hold together? How will the two teams mesh before the finals start?

There isn't really a bad charity you can donate to, that being said this season both teams have decided to come together and donate to the victims of the Australian wildfires. With Edmonton centering around the animals and wildlife care and Hamilton centering around the human victims. Both teams worked together very well considering they will be playing each other shortly on the ice, with the combined total of funds raised at $50 million dollars. The people of Canada and the fans of the league truly are compassionate people. What raised the most donations was the talent show between the teams with the conclusion of the event being a dance with Brady McIntyre doing an Irish jig vs Skao Anazibf doing a traditional Russian dance (which is kinda of like a jig). Everyone at the show was thoroughly entertained, but the competition didn't end there as it later in the night became which drink knocks the player out first McIntyre and his Irish whiskey or Anazibf and his Russian vodka.

Next is Gatorade Arctic Blizzard, which combines blueberry and pomegranate with fresh snow taken from Edmonton during an actual blizzard (Warning if the liquid is yellow inside the bottle DO NOT DRINK).

A. Tommy Tuck posted a better SV% during the regular season, but Geezus Kryyst has been lights out during the playoffs. Which team has the advantage in goal for this series?
You always gotta go with the hot hand and right now that's Kryyst, nobody has been more lights out these playoffs then him and I think that will continue into the Cup Finals. He has been able to take games over and shut teams down just by himself and I think that will be a big advantage for Hamilton.

B. Edmonton averages more hits per game than Hamilton, but also more PIMs - and Hamilton has proven pretty deadly on the power play this postseason while the Blizzard's PK has struggled. Be the coach: should Edmonton stick to a physical style of play or back off a bit in this series?
I say stick with what brought you to the dance and in Edmonton's case that's their strong physical play, get into the heads of the Steelhawk players and get them off their game. But if the Blizzard stick with style the have to tighten up on the penalty kill or they will be asking to get blown out.

C. Who is your X-factor skater in this series? Who's got the intangibles? Who's gonna step up for their team when it matters most? Why do you think so?
My X-factor is Tony Pepperoni from the Blizzard who not only is one of the best fowards in the league but last time he played in a Cup Finals he dominated. You need someone who has proven on the biggest stage and proved they can get it done, Pepperoni has done it before and I think he will do it again.

D. Which player name is your favorite from the rosters of these two teams? (not your favorite player, but your favorite name)
A lot of good names on both teams to choose from but I'm going to go with Tony Pepperoni and the only real reason for that is I love pizza and that's what his name reminds me of. As a matter of fact I'm going to go get me a pepperoni pizza right now.

E. WOULD YOU RATHER: (a) eat a Pepperoni pizza with Tony Pepperoni (debatably cannibalism), (b) get a nice long hug from Teddy Cuddles, © have Tor and Tommy Tuck tuck you into bed at night, (d) do squats with Hugh Jazz, (e) have a tug of war with Tig, or (f) have Aaron Wilson uncover a brand new strategy for your team to use? Why?

You know all of these choices are good ones (minus the cannibalism) and I'm going to go with getting a nice long hug from Teddy Cuddles. Some times you just need a hug and what better of a person to get one from then a guy named Teddy Cuddles. Hug on Mr Cuddles, hug on.
