6. Which team would your player root for in the finals and why? (154 words, 3 TPE)

This is a tough question for Dieter, who hasn't given much thought to the SHL. His main focus has been on trying to win it all with the Armada, which obviously hasn't happened yet. If he had to choose, it would probably be San Francisco. Yes, they just won the cup, but his agent's agent's agent (his agent, Sebastien Regazzoni, was managed by Mitchell van der Heijden, who was in turn managed by Joseph Lombardi) played for the Pride. He was drafted by the franchise when it was still the Portland Admirals, was a part of the inaugural Pride teams in San Francisco, and ultimately chose to retire in San Francisco. These ties may be tenuous, but they're ties nonetheless (this is also a bid for whoever sfp's gm is to pls invite me to your discord as an honored alumni pls), which means his allegiance is to the west coast in this series.

7. Who you got? Who wins the Challenge Cup or Four Star Cup? Why? (100 words, +2 TPE)

I'm going to focus on the Four Star here, and it's an easy choice: Quebec. I play for Anchorage, who Quebec just beat in the conference finals for the second straight year, and I can vouch for how tough of an opponent we are. We thought we had them on the ropes when we went up 2-0, but they pushed the series to 7 and won. They're a wagon and always have been, so I don't see any reason why they won't win. We also pushed them the most in the playoffs, so it'd be small bragging rights for us.
