Written, 3 TPE, Song of the Playoffs (150 words min.)
Every season the NHL buys the rights to a song that they edit their playoff promotional materials to. This season we’re doing the same thing for the SHL! Pitch me your “Song of the S67 Playoffs”! Who sings it? Why do you think it would make a good hype song?

Every good playoff run needs a good song to serve as a rallying cry for both the fans and the team. For the Blues it was Gloria, for the nationals it was Baby Shark. This postseason will be the same. However, this time the rallying cry that will be echoed throughout stadiums will be Nine to Five by Dolly Parton. This one is a fantastic song and is much less annoying than baby shark. Even better, it comes from a musical loosely based on Dolly Parton’s upbringing and is something that everyone can get behind. Furthermore, Dolly Parton is a national treasure so there would be very little divisiveness or controversy with the selection of one of her better known songs. Whoever picks this as their playoff run song will be sure to achieve whatever they set out to as the team would be filled with so much adrenaline that they simply would not be able to lose.
 
5. Written, 3 TPE, Hotel Rooms (150 words min)
During the playoffs it’s not uncommon to have to spend several days on the road in the same city. Whether you’re in the playoffs or not, who does your player share a room with on the road? What do you get up to? Are you the type to drag around a PS5 everywhere you go, or are you the first to hit the bar after the game? Are you a night owl or an early riser?

The knights really only had one long road trip during the playoffs as they were bounced in the first round after 5 games but still was long enough to be memorable. Spam roomed with his linemate Virrok to try and continue to build some on ice chemistry going into the playoffs. This would likely be their last chance to play together as Virrok would be moving up to the big leagues next season. Spam was sure to bring his PS5 with SHL hockey from EA obviously installed so that in case they lost he could play them again in SHL and absolutely destroy them. This is incredibly important for moving on from tough losses so that he can get started on his preparations for the next game. Its not all business though. Spam will head down to a couple bars after the game to work out any muscle stiffness from the game.
 
6. Written, 3 TPE, You’re Weird (150 words min.)
During long playoff runs or exceptional mid-season winning streaks players have been known to do some crazy things in order to keep the luck going. What’s the weirdest superstition your player or someone in your locker room has? Did it actually work?

The knights wins came in spurts this season so there were plenty of opportunities for spam to try out a few different superstitions to see which he liked best. The first steak they went on he wore the same socks everyday without washing them for as long as the streak continued. This quickly became an issue as socks being in hockey skates every day tend to develop quite the odor before too long. The second one he tried out was eating the same meal before every game. However, he had picked sushi and the first night of this new tradition he got some bad fish and had one of the worst hockey playing experience of his life. He then resorted to voodoo to keep the streaks going which he wasn’t very fond of but got the best results by far of any of the things he had tried. The chicken blood has yet to come out of some of his gear.
 
17. Written, 3 TPE, Nu Metals (150 words min.)
Gold, silver, and bronze are old news! Also we’re running out of them in the simulated world so we can’t be wasting it all on simulated medals! Choose new metals to be used for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place at this year's tournament, and tell me why you chose them.

The real question is should bronze even count as it is an alloy not a metal right? Assuming that this opens the door for other alloys there are several fantastic options to replace the normal three medals. For third place, tungsten will be used instead of bronze. This is one of the heaviest metals found on earth and would cause the wearer to slouch, better illustrating the weight of their failures. Second place would be replaced with mercury, which is a liquid making the medal unique. It would basically just be a large disc filled with the toxic metal. This is because no one likes finishing second and it will poison you over time. Lastly if first place which will be replaced with platinum. This is one of the purest and rarest metals on the planet, a prize fitting for a champion.
