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.

a. An LAP team that was disappointed in a S63 finals loss is back again to face a TBB team that has been hungry for their chance in the entire FHM era. Who are you taking as a winner and why?

b. Tampa Bay’s top forwards have been absolute power houses on this run, totalling 102 points across their top 6. If you’re LA, how do you line-match against two lines that are on an absolute tear?

c. L.A.’s D pair of Kierkegaard and Kahnwald are maintaining a shocking 2 more GF/60 than GA/60, despite playing more than 21 minutes a game including PK time. If you’re Tampa Bay how do you get around these two? Hope to outlast them in endurance, or look to more depth scoring? 

d. TBB’s roster has racked up many more shot blocks (294) than LAP has (188). Do you see this as a good thing? Is this an iron willed team that’s willing to lay down their bodies to get the job done, or do you think it paints a picture of a team that can’t maintain possession and has to find another way to keep the puck out. Maybe a bit of both?

a. Patya am taking LAP against TBB. Patya am knowing LAP already win, but is not reason for taking, so Patya am telling you. Patya take LAP because LAP pretty much Octopussymans senior version. Patya am remember time of Octopussymans much fondly and am have many loves for organization. So, Patya go with them for winning of Cup. This much good because they am end up as winner bigs!
b. Patya am smart player, so Patya am having solution for this. Sometimes must accept good players am be scoring points. But, Patya am know what to say for LAP. Patya say to LAP "they am much good, so you must be much more good! Am must be playing hard as possible! Am must make sacrifice for make team best it can be!" Patya know this much inspiring; Patya have experience with this. Inspiration am make players play better against goodest players so can beat them!
c. Patya am pull from last question, and say must accept that Kierkegaard and Kahnwald many goods and am score points. Patya am think must look for depth scoring in this situation. Patya know, again from experience, that playoff team must be many strongs. Must be very deeps. Sometimes, star players am not playing well and role players am need for stepping up to fill gap.
d. This Patya favorite question. Maybe is bit of both. If watching good players who normally am for score and for go fast, notice in playoff they block shot and fighting hard puck battles behind net. Patya will say though, this is very many shot blocks. Patya think maybe this a problem of possession time more than sacrifice body. But, Patya know that when having winning formula, not wanting for change too much.

4. Written, 3 TPE, Do You Touch It? (150 words min.)

In the NHL there’s a well known superstition that any team that touches their conference championship trophy won’t win the Stanley Cup. Are there any superstitions like that in the SHL playoffs? If so, what are they? Where do they come from? Does your team or your player believe in them? Why or why not?

WHOA! PATYA AM SAY NEVER TOUCH CUP UNLESS WIN IT FIRST! ELSE YOU NEVER WIN! Okay, now that Patya is get this out of the way, am share other superstitions for you. Patya know cannot look at Cup too much. Usually this not possible because am not see Cup before winning it. See Cup before winning is okay but if look for too long seconds, am putting self in jeopardy of maybe not win it. So, do not stare at Cup for many seconds. Also, Patya am say do not think about Cup too much. If think about it, am not win it. Must just clear mind and play hard for win Cup. This how you get to eventually touch and look at Cup. These am Patya own personal beliefs. Not sure if team believe in this because Patya am not have opportunity for discuss this with them. Kingmans are still trying for get to playoffs so is not much topic of discussion for maybe be sour and make sads.

Make up an important character from SHL history. Tell me their name, what their job was, and why they’re important. Maybe they were an eccentric team owner? An agent that represented half the league? Heck, make it a real person from SHL history if you want! I’m always down to hear cool old SHL stories!

But, this man am live very secret life. Am live in secret locations and hide Cup so it can not be for steal. Patya am hear that he live off land.

Develop a video game boss fight based off of your team’s branding. Tell me what it looks like, what its strengths are, and most importantly– how you defeat it. ALTERNATIVELY for a graphic task, show me your player fighting the boss you’ve imagined.

Patya am thinking maybe is cliche, but boss for team branding is big fat Kingman with much large scepter and much beautiful crown! It has great strengths, and is much fast, and can do spinaroni attack with cloak! It also have ability for throw scepter like boomerang! WOWIE! SO SCARIES! But, Patya am able to let you in on secret for defeat boss, because this video game and Patya want it for be fun so can win! So, for beat Kingsman, need for first smack off crown. After smack off crown, am need for stun boss and then focus damage on scepter! Then, SCEPTER EXPLODE! KAPOW! Then Kingman am try for fight with fists, and then am just need for attack Kingman until health bar much empty! This sound simple, but Patya can not say everything. Patya am save best surprise for last -- this boss much like many hards Dark Souls boss! Patya am enjoy these games so this boss am sound simple but very hard because must learn timings!
