c. Willow Söderberg-Snooks has 7 goals, 18 points, 18 takeaways and no giveaways, is that enough to make them best defenceman in finals? Who would you pick instead?

Looking at the stats, Willow is having a fantactic playoff run!  The offensive numbers are outstanding, I know that Nash Tapolo has even better numbers and in four less games, so you could make the arguement for them, but how often does a player that doesn't make it to at least the finals be considered the best of the playoffs.  For me, the stat that should help Willow take home that honour is the 18 takeaways and zero giveaways.  That's just crazy.  To not have been the cause of at least one turnover is figgin unbelivable!! Well done Willow, well done.

e. Which one would win a fight, a lion or an eagle? How would it go?

Oh, I like this question!  At first glance, the answer is obiviously a lion.  They are probably one of the most feared animals on the planet, their roar would be enough to send shivers down anything's spine.  But you have to think about the areial assualt that the eagle can preform.  Their beaks and talons could do quite a bit of damage to the lion and if the eagle could stay away from the lions jaws and paws, they may just stand a chance to take out the lion, bit by bit.  Give me more of these question, I like them!!

5. Written, 3 TPE, Haven't I seen this already (150 words min.)

I've gone back and forth on this so many times. I do love a good rivalry, so in that sense, knowing that you will have to go through some of your fiercest rivals to get far in the playoffs is a huge plus.  But this can most definitely become tiresome.  For the fans, seeing the same thing, year in and year out can become boring.  And when two really good teams have to play each other early in the playoffs, just because they are in the same division, that can really make the following rounds less interesting, since most people want to see the best of the best play each other in each progressing round, with the two best teams meeting in the finals.  Again, I flip flop on this format all the time, at the end of the day, you need to be ready and willing to face any team that you are matched up against during the playoffs, it shouldn't matter when you face a certain team, you've got to win, no matter what.
