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. Neither of the teams have been relying on one or two superstar forwards to do all their goal scoring in playoffs, 

but if you had to pick a player you expect to carry their team to cup who would it be?

d. Which of the teams had easier path to finals?

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

A. If I had to pick a player from either team that I would to carry their individual teams, for the Pride I would pick David Hargreeves and for Baltimore, I would pick Ekaterina Valieva. Both for similar reasons being their performance in the regular season. Because there is not much information about how these players might play in the playoffs we have to determine their skills in the regular season and past playoff skills and that is exactly how I got these two players.

D. Both teams have equally hard matchups. But personally, I think the Baltimore Platoons had an easier path to the finals than the Pride. The Baltimore Platoons had faced two teams that were excepted to lose in the first to second round. While the Pride played against the number 1 favorite team to win the cup: the Pride. (57 words)

E. At least this is a more balanced matchup compared to the past battles. Both have advantages but the eagle could never win against the claws and jaws of a lion (mostly because of the size difference). Unless the eagle found a weak spot in the rear end (you know what I mean) the Eagle would never win against the furious feline. (61 words)

Why did you choose your IIHF country? Is it where you’re actually from? Is it where your friends play? Was it for a specific role play reason? I want to know how you decided where your player comes from!

Ah the country of Canada, the inventors of hockey and can make anyone who lives in this cold country have the opportunity to become the next great one. Although Kevin Kim has not been the best player compared to the other players in the league, he is still a maple sucking Canadian and the reason is simple why I chose this nation. Similarly to many other people in the SHL I picked Canada because I myself am Canadian more specifically half, but who cares? it is a great opportunity to support my country (other than Australia) to victory in the IIHF and WJC.
