7. Written, 1-2 TPE
Our poetry theme this season is a limerick! Write 1 SHL-themed limerick for 1 TPE or 2 SHL-themed limericks for 2 TPE.

There was a woman named Mika
Who used to Play for nola
But during a break
She made a mistake
What a terrible day for Mika

14. 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.
1. Head GMs JayWhy and Grapehead have been GMing for a while, whereas Co GMs Luketd and DaftRaincloud are newer to management - which team's front office staff (including coaches) do you think will provide a strategic edge (lol as if such a thing exists in STHS) in this series?

Well if I had to pick I would say Manhattan. History is known to repeat itself. Okay, maybe not with Simon. What team know history more then a JY, luke combo? So logically, if you know the history, good and bad, you know what to do and avoid. Well Theoretically.

2. Manhattan has been rocking a pretty evenly-distributed ice time for forwards (35-33-32) whereas San Francisco is going a bit more top-heavy (40-40-15). Which approach do you think is better for a fierce Challenge Cup series?

Simon clearly does not care about stamina, so top load away. However, Manhattans third line is clearly better than San Francisco's 3rd line. This top loading helps keep San Francisco’s 3rd line out less against Manhattans. At the end of the day, it probably does not matter much, as long as you adapt to the team.

3. The Rage and the Pride have, in my opinion at least, two of the best logos in the entire SHL. Which team's logo do you like more and why?

Well this is tough. I was drafted to Manhattan, so I have some biased towards that lovely deep Red Bull. However, San Francisco's logo is an interesting take of colors with a majestic lion. At the end of the day I would probably go with the simplicity of the rages logo.

4. What is your favorite player name on either of these two teams and why? (not favorite player/user, just focusing on their player name)


5. Would you rather: (a) a chainsaw lesson with JayWhy, (b) a private Gritty meet-and-greet for you and Luke, © an all-you-can-eat grape buffet experience with Grapehead, or (d) an hour session where DaftRaincloud shows you everything from his internet history?

So for starters, is Gritty out of jail for that punch yet? Seriously, hate that thing. But I would opt for the one hour session where Daft shows me everything in his internet history. People intrigue me with how they think, would love to know what goes through his head.
