1. 3 TPE, PT Coupon for one CW Task

From reaching the $6000 goal for COTA Charity, write 3 words on why the SHL is the best

because it is

Code:
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) Its pretty clear that Buffalo has the superior offense here. First of all, they were second in the league in goals scored. Texas may have been third, but Buffalo had a 33 goal lead on them. You can also see that Buffalo has 3 players on the points leaderboard before you find any Texas players.
b) I think its pretty clear that Buffalo would also have the bigger chip on their shoulder. Texas has no pressure, even if its been a while. It hasn't been *too* crazy, but still this is an early cup run, and they know they will be back. If Buffalo loses for the third straight year, it will be a public embarrassment
c) I like Texas' branding better, but its only by a slight margin. I would honestly say these are two of the most boring logos in the league. But the Buffalo logo is so generic and boring circle, while Texas at least has the stereotypical Texas outlaw logo. I do prefer the Buffalo colors, but black is always a sweet color as well so not a huge difference for me.
d) I would rather spend time in Dallas. Partially, I just dont know what Buffalo has to even do in their city. But the main reason would just be because of friends. I have some good friends in Dallas and it would be fun to go around and hang out with them for a while. I am more at home with the cold though so this might be an issue

13. Written, 2 TPE - The Procrastinator Special! (100 words min.)

Welp, you waited until the last day to grind out your CW and the CC finals are longggggggg over by now. congrats to [TEAM], woo! Reflecting back on the series, who gets your vote for series MVP? Make the case why this player deserves it over any other.

Hey, I did indeed wait until the last minute, or at least the last hour. Thank you for accommodating! I think I have two possible MVP candidates for the playoffs. The first and my probably real candidate would be Cillian Kavanagh. As the cup winning goalie, he is already good there, but he led all starters with a sparkling .934 save percentage and a 12-3-1 record. An unconventional candidate, but one that I think is also well deserved, is Tony Pepperoni. Its pretty odd to suggest a playoff MVP that didnt even make the finals, but the sheer craziness of a player getting 17 points in just 10 games, most of it at even strength, is pretty impressive and I think it deserves recognition

16. hotdog's secret bonus weird prompt. Written, 2 TPE (100 words min.)

If worst came to worst and the situation were dire....... you need nutrition....... you must consume your peers. If you had to eat another SHL player, who would you eat and why? (sorry in advance Julio)

I think that if possible, I would eat Valentin Kalashnikov. He is pretty well built, he would be pretty well built i think: Lean meat but also enough fat from drinking so much alcohol that he would also be a delicious meal. If you had seasonings to work with, I think you could make a rather delicious Kalashnikov Filet. The big issue with this is that Kalashnikov would be incredibly hard to kill, so I am banking on this dire situation killing off Kalashnikov from the start, and that we wouldnt have to kill him. If he survives the dire situation, then I just hope that he doesnt read this and will have no hard feelings
