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?
The rage definitely seem like they have picked up some steam during the off season. Last season, it was definitely a case of lebedev being good enough to carry the team to the finals, but now this is no longer the case, the team has grown well and they could definitely pose a challenge to the seattle argonauts
58 words
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?
This squad has done it once, and they can definitely do it again. With little difference from their team last season, they definitely are the favorites to win it here, but what has changed from last season's finals, is not really on the seattle argonauts side, but it is on the manhattan side. They are no longer the cinderella story, but they are now a strong team with a will to win it this time around.

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?
They need to, but they surely will continue producing as they have this season, and they do not really have any weaknesses to target to be able to shut down. The first team that will be able to shut the other down will be the one who wins, as the team that has had their star player shut down will not be able to recover sadly.

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.
This is a difficult question, as both team will do anything they can to win it. Manhattan does not want to lose again, despite being in their early window of contention. They could start showing up as one of the best team right now, and maybe start a dynasty of sorts. For Seattle, last time was already considered their last chance to compete, it is almost a miralce that they have been able to reach the finals again, so now it is actually their last chance, so they need to win it now, because who knows when their next chance will be.

4. Written, 3 TPE, Dream Series (150 words min.)
Many teams have rivals they'd love to trounce in a playoff series. Maybe you as a player have another specific player you'd love to beat to win the cup and lord it over them for the rest of their lives. Tell me who you'd love to play in a playoff series and why! Why would you love to beat this team or player? What would it mean to you or your team? Keep it friendly.
Actually, Paul Koivu has many players that he would like to wina gainst. First of all, pretty much all of his borthers. It is always great to go to family reunion and be able to be the one to brag about winning a cup to the rest of the family. Paul Koivu would actually love to especially win against Ricky Koivu of the philadelphia forge, because he finds him particularly annoying, and he ruined his last season at anchorage, and his last season in the world junior cup with canada, so he wants to show him that he can win without him, and even more than that, ricky koivu was keeping him from performing. paul would also love to especially beat wide peepo happy 3 koivu, because he betrayed the koivus, by transferring from canada to japan. This is considered as ultimate treason, and he wants to make wide peepo happy 3 pay for it

In the spirit of the insanely easy ring task that stayed around forever, we can keep running this one! Try using OpenAI’s DALL E Mini (now known as crAIyon) to generate a Challenge Cup related image. It could be a championship ring, your player lifting the cup, a locker room celebration. Go nuts as long as you’re attempting to make it SHL related!
