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. Manhattan comes into this series with a much more balanced attack than their previous playoff run carried by a scorching hot Lev Lebedev. This time around they have nearly seven players chugging along at a PPG clip. Is this a different beast than last season's Rage? Why or why not?

b. Seattle returns to the finals with a roster that's very similar to last season's champions. So why would they lose this time around? This squad has proven they can do it, so what's changed? Do you think this team can do it again?

c. The play of Max Manning for Seattle and Thomas Lind for Manhattan has been a key factor in their respective teams' playoff runs. Do you think they're both able to continue performing at the spectacular pace they have thus far, or do you think someone is able to figure out how to shut them down? Is that the key to this series?

d. With all that being said it's round two of SEA vs. MAN. Who wins this time? Regardless of any other stat in this series-- who do you think wins it and why? Last season Manhattan was the upstart without any experience, but here they are again to face the same behemoth Seattle team. Make your pick.

a. This Rage team is definitely good like their last team was but in a very different team but honestly neither team is nothing to scoff at they're both very sticky nasty little rosters but the current team is just brimming with some crazy offensive firepower they're honestly a bit of a problem some real crazy guys compared to last year in my opinion.

b. I think that there is truly absolutely no doubt in my mind that Seattle could do it again man I think if you disagree you need to examine yourself and your thinking because these guys are not only very good players as they were last year, but they have championship experience now man they finna get the dub.

c. I think they can both keep it up to some extent, they're both great players so if anyone can keep up this blazing pace they're on, its for sure them, but I do think if either of these teams want to win it, the key to the series definitely lies within which of these teams does a better job of stopping the all stars on the opposite end of the ice from them.

d. I think its no doubt in my mind that Seattle is making like young drizzy drake and they're going back to back (Manhattan being Meek Mill in this scenario). If it ain't broke don't fix it, Seattle won with these cats before and now they have the experience from the last championship? Uh yeah gimme some Seattle stocks please and thank you.

3. Written, 3 TPE, New Year New Me (150 words min.)

What is your player's New Years resolution? What aspect of their game do they want to work on in S69 to help them reach the finals next season? If they did make the finals this season, is it because of something they resolved to work on last season? If so, then what's next?

I think ultimately it's not secret that B Jobin kind of stinks big time, obviously the Steelhawks are in a rebuild and they can't properly support him with elite defenders to help ease him into being the guy, but the reality for the Jobster is that if he ever DOES wanna be the guy he's just gonna have to step up and be the next big dog himself. He wants to improve everything in the new year by being faster, stronger, smarter, sexier, and that's just the start to be honest. Hamilton is a long way off but if Jobin can steal a game or fifty who knows man who really knows. Jobin has the family pedigree, but with a little but of effort and tenacity I think he could propel the Steelhawks into some scary territory next year. Outside of hockey though, B Jobin's primary goal is to be a better person in his daily life by like not bullying kids during charity events or not screaming at fans who ask for a photo with him.

18. Written, 2 TPE - The Procrastinator Special! (100 words min.)

Congratulations, procrastinator!  Through your terrible time management skills, you’ve unlocked a special task! [TEAM] has won it all! Were the playoffs as you expected this year, or were there some surprises? Did anything stand out to you about this season’s results? How do you feel about a repeat finals series?

I was not even a little bit suprised by this year's playoffs I always knew Seattle was gonna win it all because their roster is great and good and Tig is so smart he's a fantastic General Manager honestly he makes a lot of you other General Managers look like BUMS to be completely frank also I love repeat finals because dynasties are cool and rematches are cool as well just a great year happy new year SHL family!
