3 TPE Code: 1. CW TRIVIA, 3 TPE max - 1 TPE for participation, 0.5 TPE for each correct answer. This is completed through a Google form linked below. Make sure to spell your answers correctly or you will not get credit. Post your verification word in your CW post.CW TRIVIA LINK Verification: List 3 TPE Code: 2. Written, up to 4 TPE - Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.You bet on Chicago, but I think you cheer for Atlanta. What a run they had, it was awesome to watch, even being on the losing side to them. A team that truly no one expected to get there made a magical run, that ultimately, unfortunately ended without the glory that they, and I think most of the league were hoping for. 64 Words Code: b. Chicago's lineup much more active with their sticks than Atlanta's, racking up 97 takeaways to Atlanta's 79. This late in the playoffs, how do you adjust to a team that's so adept at picking your pocket?Well, you get most of the takeaways from the middle of the rink, in between blue lines. So you stretch the ice. You carry the puck and dump and chase. Boring hockey it may be, this is what you get forced into against a team that stacks the middle of the ice. 52 Words Code: c. Atlanta has only 32 penalty minutes in these playoffs compared to Chicago's 45. With emotions high and the Challenge Cup on the line, do you think discipline will play a big role in this series? Yes, and I think it usually does. It depends on how the refs and league decide to call the games. If they go like NHL reffing then discipline doesn't really matter because they won't call discipline related penalties because they "don't want to influence the outcome" - even though not calling penalties is influencing the outcome. 56 Words Code: d. Similar to last season's finals, we see Chicago running a balanced ice-time attack against Atlanta's targeted approach that has some players seeing sheltered minutes. Last season the more balanced attack won out. Do you think we'll see the same again? Why or why not?Yes. I think the balanced approach simply means depth. The deeper team will be able to go hard because their top players are playing fewer minutes, getting more rest. Over the course of a series this should be a huge advantage to the team with depth. Especially talking this late in playoffs you have been through a tough, grueling 3 rounds already, you need to keep it going for another. 70 Words Code: 5. Written, 3 TPE, Cup Check (150 words min.)SHL is by far the more prestigious cup. Additionally people chasing SMJHL glory can actually be seen as detrimental for the league. First of all SHL is clearely harder to capture because short of breaking the sim engine, there is no hard cap to players so every aspect of building your own player, managing teams over years drafting for longevity are all important. In the SMJHL there is a benefit to draft players who will go inactive after a few seasons because then you keep their corpse as a high or capped player for longer. An argument can be made the best smjhl team would have all gone inactive by the time they win the cup. This is an overall detriment for the league because we want to have active players. It's much easier to rebuild an smjhl team because it can be done in 1-2 seasons, a complete overhaul. Scouting is important due to the quantity, but less important to get activity. If you miss with a top round pick in the SHL you can feel that for many seasons to come. 183 Words 4 TPE 3 TPE Code: 6. Written, 3 TPE, Dream Team 150 words minW - Daniil Nikiforov.  I wondered about the other wing. Who do I want. I looked through history and I looked at the current rosters. Nikiforov is the trigger man on this line. Krash is not, He's the screener / grinder, that's how he has always been and high goal totals occasionally were not expected from his play styleC - Ethan Duncan. Only able to play together for a few seasons on the same line, but Duncan is one of if not the highest TPE in history, especially after the change to bump up regression one season earlierD - Adam Barron.   My opinion the best D to grace the league. I don't care if he's 60 years old, he's probably better than the alternate choice.D - Magnus Liljestrom.  A teammate from Sweden, Liljestrom is one of the better D in the league constantly and an absolute force in the backfield. Also maybe they could speak some secret Swedish together.G - Harry Carpet You have the best goalie ever available you have to pick them. The only thing I think can be argued against Carpet is the unfortunate lack of a cup, but I don't think anyone holds that against Carpet as it is widely recognised that is more due to the quality of teams than the player (not to mention the "FHM allows player build agency" era that was unfortunately ruthless to teams that let their players build however they wanted)3 TPE Code: 7.
