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?
Well, of course I think we both deserved to be in the Finals. We won the games that were on our schedule in the postseason and that's all that can be asked of us. You can debate the merits of each team's particular road to the Cup, but at the end of the day we both did what we had to do.
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?
Obviously I think the success of Buffalo is more impressive since we have been a Cup contender for the entirety of Chicago's existence, however I do think that Chicago has built an impressive team in their 15 seasons and took the longer, "proper" build in comparison to NOLA who came out of the gate hot but have since fallen on hard times.
c. Everyone's a critic: Nitpick one thing about either team's logo, jersey, rink design, goal horn, or general site demeanor.
Chicago's goal horn is the worst. I'd like to dissect it and really get into why it's bad, but that would take far more than the 50 words I'm trying to hit here. As far as Buffalo is concerned, I think our site demeanor could use some work. We really should be meaner tbh.
d. Who is the best player to play for either team? Is it a current player? Retired? Traded? Make your case.
Alexis Metzler set the bar for the Buffalo organization. He is still the all-time leading scorer for the Stampede, although he will soon be overtaken by Luffy. One day the answer will probably be someone currently on the roster like Luffy or Doyle, but for now the answer is clearly the wonder from down under.
