Quote:Luke let you keep the money you stole from him in the heist, and won't tell the authorities. But you have to take him on a wonderful date using the money. How does your evening go? What dining and activities do you have in store for good ol' Lukey boy?

Having achieved the heist of the century thanks to my wonderful, yet now dead accomplices of Steve Harrington, Alex Selich, and other buffalo bros, luke can get treated to an absolutely wonderful evening. To start, co commissioner Luke Thomason and I will begin at my apartment, then heading out to a bar. We will eventually make our way to the Canadian tire centre, in the middle of buttfuck nowhere. We will be watching the sens play the penguins, not the flyers specifically to spite Luke. To further spite Luke, the penguins will win and simultaneously Risto ristolainen will be named captain of the flyers. Luke will also be paying for this entire evening. Thanks Luke!

Quote: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. Buffalo won the presidents trophy as the leagues best team, while Chicago bested new rivals Texas and won the western conference. Bard. Off their playoff paths alone, It’s impossible to find teams more deserving based off their play this season. The only other teams arguably in the same stratosphere as Buffalo and Chicago were Hamilton and Texas, and they showed this wasn't their year by losing in 6 and 5 games respectively.

B. Chicago has less finals appearances than their expansion rival New Orleans. The continued dominance of buffalo over 15 seasons and two sim engines is far more impressive and frankly isn't even a discussion. Buffalo has more cup finals appearences in the last 3 seasons than Chicago does since its inception. Impressive by the Syndicate? Frankly, no.

C. Chicago’s consistently had some of the worst goal horns, culminating in the ruining if a banger Olivia rodrigo song. This is why it was so important to ensure that Chicago did not hear their goal song too often. Unfortunately Mat Smith decided he enjoys hearing this abomination, and forced the series to go the distance to a full 7 games.

D. The best current skater is likely myself, having been top 3 in points in each of the previous two seasons and possibly receving mvp noms in both seasons. Elizabeth Doyle also deserves consideration if considering best all around player, as does Chicago’s Martin westbroek who singlehandedly carried this Chicago team himself. Had this been asked seasons prior, Matt Kholin and Monkey D Luffy may also deserve merit.

Quote:2. Written, 3 TPE (150 words min.)
Pokemon! Everyone loves em, and if you don't, you didn't have a childhood. Or adulthood. Anyways, let's imagine all SHL and SMJHL players are now pokemon. Assemble your team! On top of that, what is your strategy to navigate the POKESHL? Try to get the strongest pokemon and become champion? Catch all of the possible players and complete your pokedex? UwU Breed them? Catch low level juniors players and train them? Or become a gym leader, helping others on their path to greatness? I'd love to hear your approach.

Early in my career, it was hard to not look at fishy and consider him to be underwhelming and virtually useless. In fact, you could look at him floundering around there on the ice and wonder if he was really ever going to figure it out and evolve from constantly splashing. You could even compare his game to that of Magikarp. Fishy in s59 got enough experience to evolve his game, and turned into quite the formidable opponent. The evolution into Gyrados helped diversify the Pokémon in Buffalo’s lineup, with Buffalo also having a number of other types including Primape Monkey D Luffy, ground type Hippowdown Hippo Passamus, as well as poison type Nidoqueen, Queen Elizabeth Doyle. Although not the ideal Pokémon lineup, the stampede sure have survived all their important battles and can be considered PokeLeague champs. It will be interesting to see the next generation of Buffalo players, who grow to take over as these leading Pokémon get old and wind down to laziness in the Safari Zone.
