a. I think we have seen in the past that having your offense ran through one player can struggle in the playoffs when you are facing a really good team that has the ability and the tactics to shut down opposing star players. One team that comes to mind is Manhattan when they used to have star player Kev Kevens and would play through him in the playoffs and end up getting shut down in the finals.

b. As I had mentioned earlier, I do think teams that rely on one specific player can really struggle in the Challenge Cup series as the other team usually has means to deal with the issue. However Svoboda has been as consistent as possible throughout the entire season and if there was one goalscorer that could turn the tides in this series, it would be him.

c. I think it would be beneficial to Olof Karsikko to have a shorter series for once in the Challenge Cup. He has played an absurd amount of games all throughout the playoffs and could really use a break. All of his series' so far have gone to 7 games and I am sure his defence could put in more effort to help him out given how tired he must be.

d. I think the Winnipeg Aurora finally beat all their playoff demons and win it all for once this season. They have been playing on another level heading towards the end of the season and it would be hard to bet against them given their current form. On the other hand, New England is probably tired and has not shown any consistency throughout their time in the playoffs.

3. One of the most eventful events that happened in my players career was my player getting traded from the Calgary Dragons to the San Francisco Pride. As someone who at the time had not suited up for the Dragons, I found the value that San Francisco gave up surprising considering I had yet to show any potential at the SMJHL level as well. However I have really enjoyed my time on the San Francisco Pride with my GMs Caleb and Toast and I think they have done a great job trying to build a strong locker room where everyone can be friends with one another. They have given my player the room to kick in another gear in his progression as he looks to prove his GMs right and wants to be a player the San Francisco Pride can depend on for many years to come as they look to finally end their rebuild and battle in the playoffs for a Challenge Cup.
