Write a sonnet about an SHL-related topic. Be sure to follow the proper ABAB-CDCD-EFEF-GG rhyme structure or your HS English (or equivalent any-language Writing teacher) will track you down in and give you a failing grade.

While Edmonton rests at home weary from the finals
Their families are joyful for their time away from the arena
They may have won it all but Hamilton has us all feeling homicidal.
If their roster members are not careful with their threats they will all receive subpoenas.

Our seasons was cut short due to high frequency shooting
and a goalie red hot as the sun in mid June.
The purity of the Championship they are surely diluting.
Our timing of our finals trip felt awfully inopportune.

But alas while it is over we had so much fun
Our focus now turns way to the draft, it will be so hectic.
Until it is finished, until it is done.
Our plan set in motion feels so darn eclectic.

So long as we're family, we'll never be defeated
Edmonton lives on even if we feel cheated.

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?

Tommy Tuck has been there and done that when it comes to the finals and for that reason and that reason alone he will definitely have the upper hand in regards to the battle of the creases. He is a soon to be three time Mike Honcho and John McBride winner, what else could you ask for in net?

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?

Edmonton won the second most games of any team in the entire league running a physical playstyle and it would behoove them to suddenly change their gameplan just because their team is playing against a team with a great power play, it would be incredibly silly for the coach to change the way they play hockey in Edmonton.

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?

Julio Tokolosh is a cow on a mission in these finals and I fully expect him to be a bovine unleashed in the finals, a bull that has seen red rather. If he scores less than 7 points in the first four games I'd be exceptionally disappointed, he has all the intangibles of the best hockey player the world has ever seen.

D. Which player name is your favorite from the rosters of these two teams? (not your favorite player, but your favorite name)

Julio Tokolosh because of the backstory behind the players name that I have heard, it has without a doubt the most elaborate and well written backstory of arguably any name on the entire site, Tokoloshe is an African water demon that would drown you if you disobeyed it, hence why Julio is a menace on the ice.

E. WOULD YOU RATHER: (a) eat a Pepperoni pizza with Tony Pepperoni (debatably cannibalism), (b) get a nice long hug from Teddy Cuddles, (c) 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?

I would choose to get tucked in by the Tucks seeing as ErM and Muford have been friends with me for quite a while it would be nice to be able to spend time with them in person and forcing them to tuck me in would provide the perfect opportunity to spend time with not one but both.
