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. I'm not sure many people would have seen this coming. Two teams that joined the league at the same time, both making the finals and competing against each other for their franchise-first cup. So... who do think wins it all? The first time to the Challenge Cup Seattle Argonauts, that have been dismantling higher seeded teams through their entire playoff  run? Or the President's Trophy winning Atlanta Inferno that are back with a vengeance after a S64 Challenge Cup defeat?

b. You can't talk about Seattle's run without talking about the dominant performance of starting goaltender Willie Miller, who has posted a .935 SV% heading into the finals. If your Atlanta, how do you solve this brick wall? If your Seattle, what do you do to make sure your guy stays hot?

c. Atlanta's big storyline is their incredible depth. They have eleven players that have logged 10 or more points so far in the playoffs. If you're Seattle, how do you try to contain three lines of unending offensive pressure? If you're Atlanta, how do you ensure everyone is able to continue to contribute against such a stellar defense?

d. Seattle's powerplay has been on fire contributing 14 goals up to this point, which comes out to almost 30% of their goals scored (50G total) in these playoffs. Atlanta on the other hand have managed just 5 power play goals, which is only 5% of their scoring (59G total). In your opinion-- is this a good thing for Seattle, or a good thing for Atlanta? Maybe a good thing for both? Do you think a dynamic team like Seattle that can capitalize on so many of their PP chances will lead to Atlanta playing scared-- worried about what might happen if they enter the box? Do you think a relentless Atlanta team that is so flush with even strength scoring is going to be too much for Seattle to take?

a. Patya am thinking that Atlanta am winning this year for Cup. Let Patya tell you why. Patya am knowing that Seattle much surprise and much more good team than people think, but Atlanta am been unstoppable for all of this season. Atlanta never stop and only know for how to destroy all opponents!

b. For keep Willie Miller hot, just need for getting him reps in practice and making sure he seeing and feeling many pucks. As for how Atlanta am going to solve, same way Atlanta been solving everyone for all season. Atlanta offense much dominant, similar to Colorado Avalanche who am win Stanley Cup. They am just never stopping attack and am relentless.

c. Not sure how Seattle am contain. Nobody this season am figure out how for contain Atlanta. Patya am just say try your best and focus on much big playmakers if possible but this very big task against Atlanta. Patya think that for Atlanta, if not broken, do not fix. Just keep sticking to strategy that has worked for all of the season. This how you make success!

d. Patya think that Seattle lack of even strength scoring much big advantage for Atlanta. If Atlanta can keep players out of box, this mean Seattle scoring much hampered and must force them to play 5-on-5. It bad for Atlanta but they am so strong at 5-on-5 that Patya not think it mattering. Maybe Seattle am score if Atlanta in box, but Patya thinking Atlanta am too much for Seattle to handle.

There’s been some great Stanley Cup Playoff marketing campaigns over the years. Lots of us probably know the “Because it’s the Cup” series of commercials, for example. Well for the S66 playoffs we’ve really turned on the money faucet and we want YOU to give us the next great playoff ad campaign. Tell me how you’d go about promoting the S66 SHL playoffs in away that will have people talking about it for years to come.

Patya am thinking, if NHL this successful with this, why not SHL use also? Patya thinking NHL maybe never see this because is not for pay attentions to SHL being best league. Therefore, Patya am say we use "Because it's the Cup" ad campaign! Am show clips of amazing plays from all playoff teams with announcers shouting much loud! Am show best players do beautiful skills for score goals, am show big hits, am show peoples what they am wanting! But, because this SHL, maybe am change just a bit. Maybe am have much cooler music or more flashy editing. Maybe hype up peoples who am run the sims and people who am doing commentary. Also, because is SHL, am also for sure come to agreement with mods of popular internet websites like the Reddits for make advertisements on hockey forums for playoffs! Maybe even do bracket challenge similar to NHL style! Winner of this get big prize of monies!

4. Written, 3 TPE, League vs. League (150 words min.)

Could any SMJHL team in history (if they were NOT capped at their usual 350/425 builds) have beaten any SHL team in history a 7 game series? Why or why not? What historical teams do you think are good candidates for this trial? Who do you think is the best team in SMJHL history and the worst team in SHL history? Would the J team have a chance? Make your case!

Oh, this much good question for Patya to answer. Patya not thinking that any team in history of league for SMJHL am able to beat even worst of SHL teams in 7 game series. Is just much too difficult for SMJHL team even if much good. Patya want make comparison for you: AHL team am probably never going to beat NHL team in 7 game series because NHL is just one more step above AHL. Is not much fair. For this Patya go to SMJHL and look at Newfoundland Berserkers. Remember when Newfoundland am win many Cups in a row over seasons? This probably best SMJHL team ever. Now we take infamous no win Tampa Bay Barracuda from SHL. Patya am think Barracudas still crush Berserkers in 7 game series because even if worst team in SHL history, am still better than SMJHL team. Patya not thinking there is any way for Berserkers to win this series because am just not have as much skill as Barracude, even when Barracuda much bad.

Well, Patya am not supposed to be saying this to you, but Patya am let you in on secret weapon of New Orleans Specters for next season. You want for know what it is? It being Patya and Atticus. We am special weapons. We am set for destroy. We am much strong players from class of season 61 and we am here for end all other teams! I mean, Patya am also saying that this not only special weapon.
