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. Two new finalists mark the end of a dynasty in the west and the return of an old heavyweight in the east. Pick either of our finalists, and tell me what about them impresses you the most!
b. The Forge have won a cup with this core, while the Blizzard are sniffing this air for the first time in a while. Who would you rather be - the veteran team that's been here and won it before, or the hungry youngsters taking their first shot at glory?
c. The Blizzard upended a long-time nemesis in the Aurora to get here, while the Forge avenged several previous losses to the Wolfpack as well. Who had the more impressive victory to punch their ticket to the cup final, and why?
d. If it ain't broke don't fix it: Who you got? Who wins? Why?


A. I have to give that one to Edmonton. When I arrived in the league, it was S67, and Edmonton was at the bottom of the standing. This is just a clean rebuilding, using draft with little to no mistakes made to arrive at this point. Now they have a chance to finish it in beauty. ( 55 words)

B. In a personal choice, I would love to be with the youngsters. Start from the bottom and rise to the top after a few seasons with the same core must be an amazing experience, and if you win with that group, it would be a sweet one, but never underestimate the veterans, they know what it take to win.

C. Again, I have to give it to Edmonton. Even if the Wolfpack were the best team this season, Winnipeg was a powerhouse for so long, they always finded a way to make the final. They only needed 5 games to shove Aurora out of this playoff, and now are ready for their biggest challenge. (54 words)

D. This time, Im gonna go with the veterans team; Philedelphia. Even if I love a bunch of youngster bringing the heat, I will always choose the veterans in a final, because they know what it taste to win, and I also think that Philedphia offense will be too much to handle for Justin Time. But so far, I have a very bad record for playoff prediction, so maybe Edmonton will win. (73 words)
