The Purge is a concept where typically illegal things (e.g., robbery, murder) are legalized for one day. In an SHL-purge, there's a game day where everything typically illegal to do on the ice is now legal. No rules for sticks or pads, no penalties, no icing, etc. What will your player do on the ice to make the most of this and gain a competitive advantage?

This scenario would be complete chaos, so why not make it a battle like medieval warfare! The first thing I would do is get every member of our team out on the ice. Too many men would be a thing of the past heck why would it stop at all the players dressed! Bring the scratches down from the press box too and put all the keepers in the net or surrounding the net for true net "battles". Next you would have to get your biggest guys to charge forward and try to get to their keeper when you have the puck.... break the formation and crush through their defenses. When they have the puck build a wall along the blue line and brace yourself with sticks wedged into the ice to form a pike formation, don't forget to sharpen the butt end of the sticks for maximum impact and damage. The winner would end up being the last one standing to put a puck in the net essentially, if anyone was fit to finish the game at all.

If real life versions of all 18 SHL team logos were entered into a fight, which would come out victorious and why? Which would be the first eliminated?

I think picking a winner and a loser out of the team logos might not be far enough as there is one logo that falls out of both of those categories. The Aurora can not be beaten or beat anyone it is literally a wonderful light in the northern skies. So essentially it neither wins nor loses which is kind of boring in the end. First place goes to the Dragons having skin thicker than armor and breathing fire there is no other living logo that can beat it. The one that would come close is the Specter. It would be unable to be attacked by almost anything but the only one I believe that could find a way too is the Dragon. the Specter could quite easily possess any other logo so it isn't a contest either. The loser of the group would be the Monarchs. They would have to battle themselves in this scenario and I don't think they would cut it vs the other competition without the King's guard beside him. Most of the other animals and humans have some sort of leg up on him one on one.

12. Written, up to 4 TPE - Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. Which of these teams has stronger offensive firepower?

b. This is Texas’s first cup appearance since winning it in S36, while Buffalo is recovering from 2 recent final losses to Hamilton. Which team will have a bigger chip on their shoulder entering the finals.

c. Which of these two teams' brandings do you prefer? Take into account colors, logo, name, location, and anything else you consider relevant.

d. Would you rather have to spend a long weekend hanging out in Dallas or Buffalo? What would you do?

a. To me there is no question that Buffalo has the most firepower in this matchup. They were just short of the league lead in goals for the entire season and that trend carried through into the playoffs. Texas could trump this with their league leading defensive unit allowing the fewest goals all season. It will be a real duel forsure.

b. Buffalo has had rotten luck in the finals as of late and will want to prevent being a bridesmaid too many times in a row just like their team in the NFL the Bills getting 2nd so often. I have always thought the longer the drought the hungrier the city and the players will be to get the Franchise the big win while their players are at the top of their game and on the final dancefloor!

c. Buffalo has a great color scheme and their branding is neat and tidy. The buffalo is an obvious choice as a play on their home and a stampeding herd of Buffalo but they could use a bit more in the logo to symbolize said Stampede. Texas is the traditional dark color that suits a Renegade but do prefer more color than what is a black and white logo. I do love the graphic though which for me puts them just over the edge in this one.

d. Each place has a few perks but seeing as I am not playing in the game I would want to go to Texas to enjoy the sun and the dry warm climate for a while. I would bring the clubs and hit a few golf courses and maybe rent a car and take a drive out to the coast to relax in the sun and surf. Of course I would also take in the finals to absorb the atmosphere and get ready for the day the Pride make it there!
