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. During the Conference Finals Panthers had no players who had multi goal game, yet they beat the Texas in 5 games. 

Can New England shut down a team with such depth, how could they do it?

b. On New England side Ivan Lacksamus is back on MVP form, scoring 15 goals and 38 points in 19 games, including the 15 points scored in Conference Finals. 

Should Los Angeles try to find a way to stop him or hope that their stars kick in the next gear to meet the challenge head on?

e. If it ain't broke don't fix it: Who you got? Who wins? Why?

A. Depth is incredibly important for a team to have success in the playoffs. Of course you could sill win the cup with a stud 30+ point producer, but with only that player scoring goals, it is nearly impossible to win especially if the player can't find the momentum that they originally had. In the Panthers case, even if the New England Wolfpacks can shut down their star players, these depth players will still find a way to score unless New England can have incredibly good defense which is in the realm of possibilities.

B. In my opinion, if the Panthers can shut down Ivan Lacksamus, it's game over for New England. Even though I respect him to the most, I don't think he can carry his team on his back to victory with his offense alone, the defense and goaltending has to lock in to win. (52 words) +1 TPE

E. I think the depth with the addition of the better goaltending and defense that the Panthers have will be enough to win the cup against the New England Wolfpacks. If they shut down Lacksamus, its a victory, if not I still think its going to be a Panthers victory possibly going to 7 but that's it.

6. Written, 2 TPE, Maybe next season (100 words min)

Which SHL or SMJHL team was the best team to not make the finals this season and why?

In my opinion, Winnipeg and Edmonton both had a chance of making the finals. Maybe the Aurora has cooled down a little from their streak of dominance but I don't think Edmonton is there not just yet. I think only because the Blizzard were in the same conference as the Panthers, they didn't make it to the finals. In addition, the other conference had a much weaker group of teams to face against which could have made the process easier for the Blizzard The Panthers are just in another level defeating the only team that got ahead of them in the regular season. The Blizzard won the president's trophy with 44 wins and 99 points. . (138 words) +3TPE
