Code: 1. CW TRIVIA, 3 TPE max - 1.5 TPE for participation, 0.5 TPE for each correct answer. This is completed through a Google form linked below. Make sure to spell your answers correctly or you will not get credit. Post your verification word in your CW post.Word: Comets Code: 10. Written, 3 TPE, IIHF Analysis (150 words min.)The Independent Russian Hockey Federation is entering yet another IIHF tournament where they are better and more excited than they were since hockeyfan took over a few seasons ago. There are a lot of great young players coming through the pipeline which are complimented by the grizzled veterans who have been through it all. It will be hard not to improve upon last tournaments ugly performance, but the defense corps is vastly improved and the bottom 6 forwards look hungry to help the goal scorers play an overall better game. The goaltenders are unchanged, but they were never the problem. This will be a hard team to score against, and Russia is bult for 1-0 and 2-1 games, they just have to make sure they are on the right side of it. Russia will be one of the best teams in a few seasons, but for this tournament, the goal is playoffs. Who knows what will happen in winner take all games, they just have to get there. (170) Code: 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.c. I would say that any team who could take out the big bad New England Wolfpack would have had the tougher task to get to the finals. The Toronto North Stars did win the first game of the playoffs against the Wolfpack only for them to wake up and go on a rampage through the rest of the playoffs, but the cool and calm Forge were able to sneak past them, and deservedly so. Tough matchup for any team. d. I would say that the Edmonton Blizzard win, and not just because it's already happened and I picked them to win in the playoff predictions. They have it all, solid goaltending, a forward group who score timely goals, and a shutdown defense corps who are not afraid to chip in with the important offensive contribution. They are a scary team now and in the future. +8 TPE unless Edmonton Comets don't count. |
