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?

b. Looking at save percentage and goals against average it seems that Beau Kavanagh has the upper hand over Justin Time. Do you think they do or are those numbers misleading?

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?

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?

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

a. If I was to choose a single player that I would expect to carry their team to the cup, I would have to say Viktor Hargreeves from San Francisco. Hargreeves had a monster s76 run, putting up a league leading 59 goals and 125 points. All eyes will be on him to lead his team to victory and I expect him to step up in a big way.
d. Neither team of course had an easy path to the finals but if I had to choose, I would say San Francisco coming from the west had the easier path. San Francisco probably had the hardest matchup of all in Los Angeles but overall their first round and even conference finals matchups in my opinion were weaker than who Baltimore played.
e. This is unfortunately a pretty easy question to answer assuming the melee is a one on one fight. I think the eagle probably doesn't stand too much of a chance given the fact that one hit from the lion and it is most likely game over. I think it just comes down to how long the eagle can avoid the lion until it tires out.

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!

I do not have any connections to my IIHF team, Germany, outside of just knowing quite a few people from there. I chose Germany because it was an up and coming international team at the time of my creation so I was confident that I would be able to win a medal or two with them. It was also ran by my long time (now former) general manager, Tomen. For my SHL players I don't like creating for the big power house nations like Canada or Sweden just cause I feel like the medal will mean a bit more for me and I don't have any connections to any other nation besides the USA anyway.
