13. Written, 2 TPE - The Procrastinator Special! (100 words min.)
Looks like [TEAM] won Season 75! Who won and why? What could the other team have done differently to change the result? What was your favorite part of the series?

Well to me it was absolutely no surprise that Los Angeles won it all and did so in dominant fashion, routing New England in a sweep. Fuzz built an absolute unit of a squad and is one of the best GMs on site by far so to me it was an easy pick against anyone they faced for LA to pull it off. As far as other teams doing anything to change the result, who knows. I don't think anyone would have changed the outcome but sometimes a certain team just matches up amazing against another. Favorite part of the series though was it just ending so we can get on to the next season already.

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?
Well even if this was written before the finals was over, no I don't think you could shut that down. Even if you could focus on shutting down one or two lines then the rest would more than likely step up or tactics change to allow someone else to shine even more. That kind of depth is hard to beat in any league real or fake. 66 words

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?
I don't think they have to focus on stopping anyone, just keep doing what you're doing an outscoring everyone else. One player might steal a game or two but if the rest of the team doesn't step up then they have absolutely no chance at winning in the end. I would take losing a game or two knowing you would probably dominate the rest. 64 words


d. So, a pack of wolves fighting some panthers. Where the fight happens? How it goes? Which side wins? Were animals hurt while answering this prompt?
This is definitely a tougher one. I think the wolves would probably fight better as a team while the Panthers would have more strength on their own. Pretty ironic as it's pretty much the opposite of the finals teams makeups and how they've performed. In the end I think I would choose the panthers just over the brute strength though it would be close. No animals were actually hurt, but hypothetically yes. 72 words
