10. Written, 3 TPE, IIHF Analysis (150 words min.)

How do you think the IIHF federation you play for will do this season? Will you be better than last seasons? Why or why not?

I play for the Czechia federation team and honestly, I think we will do okay, going into the playoffs of the tournament. I hope we can win a medal this time, I am getting to the last days of my playing career and it has not been a succesful one at the international level so far. We never won the medal. Maybe I am blasé a little bit but I don't really think we will win the gold. Our team is on the downfall, our gm ghosted us and left. I do want to have hope for our new management and let them show us what they can do with roster, maybe I will get a nice surprise and be wrong about my feeling! Overall it feels like we had many players peak not at the same time and never capitalise on a window unlike some other teams who despite not being powerhouse managed to time a succesful windows at the international level.

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 think what impresses me the most about the Philadelphia forge is @Gwdjohnson. Despite being toxic, the forge always seem to have succesful playoffs drive, notably by beating atlanta in the second round of the playoffs for the last few years! (very tough opponent if you ask me!) However I don't think gwodjohnson can do enough to make the forge lift the cup this season, I predict edmonton will win.

b. I would prefer the Edmonton Blizzard of the simulation hockey league to win the cup because the forge is our rival in Atlanta and we don't want them to win too much! We are the best orangish team in the east and they try to come for our throne. It's also cool to see teams winning one cup for the first time in a few season, but after that they have to let others win.
