So this was a tough season for everyone in the SHL. Dealing with trolls online, horrible PR from product endorsements, and on top of that all some minor identity fraud to add to the pile. Are these the worst things

 to happen to your player this season, or did something unimaginably horrible happen? On the flip side, were there any bright spots hidden in

 the countless nuisances and problems? What good things on and off the ice happened this season for you?

Ugh, poetry is so 17th century, we're ditching that prompt. Earlier in the season I had you flex your songwriting in an SHL style parody, but this time you don't have a song to lean on. You're writing your very own

 diss track about something SHL related. A player, A team, A GM, anything. You can write a diss track about CW if you want. 

Here are the rules: At least 12 lines (and at least 60 words total) but if you wanna do more go for it. I'm not laying out a specific rhyme scheme but there has to be rhyme in it. Be creative! This prompt is not 

for everyone, if you have a problem with it there are like 15 other prompts I made for ya. NOTE: THIS IS ALL IN JEST; ANYTHING OVERLY MEAN OR MALICIOUS WILL NOT BE GRADED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Calgary is always at or near the top
but eventually the shoe will have to drop
Always gloating and flexing their muscle
but Winnipeg doesn't back down from a tussle
Waiting for the opportunity to surpass in the standings
the Dragons will not have a soft landing
they like to think they breathe fire
and that our situation is dire
as we patiently await our chance
to beat them and do a victory dance
this is the prime directive
but let's not get to introspective
it's a game this isn't real
but just expressing how i feel

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. 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. There is no such thing as a gift trip to the finals. Can the puck bounce and slide your way sometimes? Sure, it can. However, luck will not win you a long and grueling playoff series. It is in most part due to a combination of skill, talent, and hard work. Sim luck or lack thereof is just an excuse that most losers like to use.

b. Buffalo's appearance is way more impressive. Consistency and longevity are not easy to sustain in a fluctuating environment like this, and their ability to come back time and again is incredible. Many laugh at the Buffalo Bills for going to four straight super bowls and losing, but just getting there four times in a row is amazing. Pretty ironic that this team is from the same city, and is just that good.

c. The only thing not great about the Buffalo Stampede logo are those awful colors. They are not pleasing to the eye at all. They should revisit their color scheme as soon as possible. They are really not meant for human consumption. If they don't change them, they might as well just rename themselves to the University of Vermont immediately.

d. The best player to play for the Chicago Syndicate is Daniel Smeb. He is a two-force on the ice that has been a great player for numerous consecutive seasons. He loves getting physical with his opponents and is not afraid to sacrifice his body for his team. He is an excellent passer that has had 40 or more assists each of the past 4 seasons. Many wish they were as good as him.
