Freaky Friday.. or Monday. Tuesday? Anyhow, I think the finals will be over by Friday barring some kind of Re-sim :grimace: Anyways, I forgot the plot of the movie but there's something about a fortune cookie and now you're in your mom's body! But actually, it's the body of an SHL player, one from Chicago or Buffalo! (If you are on Buffalo or Chicago, you can't be yourself, pick a teammate or opponent). Now that you are them and they are you, what do you do during the big game? Play amazing and turn a scrub into a superstar? Play like a bum and try to help the other team win? Oggle yourself in the mirror? The world is so exciting in a new body...

OMG I just swapped bodies with Martijn Westbroek, the league's biggest heart throb. After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I would spend the next couple hours just ogling myself in the mirror. I would be checking out every sculpted muscle from head to tow in my new body, as it is truly a piece of art. After enjoying my new Westbroek body, I think it would only be fair to share this muscular masterpiece with the rest of the world. I would create an Only Fans account so all of the Martijn Westbroek fans all over the world could talk to me directly and I could share this new handsome hunk of man meat with everyone. When you are a wonder of the world it would be a travesty to keep it all to myself. Then eventually I would get a phone call telling me I'm winning a Nobel Peace Prize as the entire world has come together to Worship my immaculate physique.

What's your prediction for this season's IIHF tournament? Which teams do you expect to do well (or not well)? Which players?

I feel like one of the players to watch in the upcoming IIHF tournament is going to be Martijn Westbroek. He had an All-star season leading the Chicago Syndicate this season. He has been on fire all year, an a big reason for Chicago's dominance. With a strong team surrounding him on Japan he should be able to elevate his game. He will likely be paired with Ryuuji Minamino and Jack Klompus, which are two superstars in their own right. As the man in the middle , Westbroek, will have more offensive weapons to dominate the other teams. With his help, Japan could see another Gold medal around their necks. As a Team, I expect the Swiss to have even more success this tournament. Their younger depth players have also continue to show significant improvement over the past few seasons, which will improve their bottom six. Guys like Keirkegaard stepped up last year and I am expected big this from the Swiss roster heading into this tournament. I feel like anything less than a medal would be a disappointment.

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. The salt special: Do these teams deserve to be here? Or were they gifted a trip to the finals through puck luck and bullshittery?

b. Buffalo has been here many times in the past 20 seasons, this is only the second (I think I'm too lazy to check) time for Chicago. Which is more impressive? The continued dominance of Buffalo? Or the solid couple of runs Chicago has made despite the team only being 15 seasons old?

c. Everyone's a critic: Nitpick one thing about either team's logo, jersey, rink design, goal horn, or general site demeanor.

d. Who is the best player to play for either team? Is it a current player? Retired? Traded? Make your case.

a. I would say both of these teams deserve to be here. They were the obvious picks to make it to the finals before the season started, so there are no surprises. I am sure I saw multiple people say since Chicago was moving West it was a guaranteed cup final appearance. Buffalo I'm only surprised beat the Hamilton Stealcheats.

b. It's Impressive that Chicago has already built such a team that has been in contention for a cup the past 8 seasons. They would have a lot more final appearances had they been in the Western conference the entire time. They have been a top 3 team for the better part of an SHL decade and show no signs of slowing down.

c. I say this ever off season it seems like. Buffalo's logo and colors are trash. The logo wouldn't be bad if they were the Buffalo Buffalos, but they aren't. Their logo does not depict a stampede, and every other team from Buffalo always has a Buffalo in their logo instead of the team name. It makes no damn sense. And those awful Packer's colors my god.

d. hands down the best player for Chicago past, present, and future is Martijn Westbroek. Not only is he the world's beacon of peace and prosperity, but he is a sensational hockey player. His skill on the ice is matched only by his beauty. For Buffalo their greatest player is Steve Harrington, lol jk Steve Harrington is trash.
