Continuing with the branding wars: this year's final features the return of the glowing bear god against a fresh opponent - a mighty wolfpack! This one seems slanted in the bear god's favor, but don't count the wolves out so easily! Tell me who wins and why! The arena and the rules of the fight can be whatever you desire. Get creative!

I think for this one it probably depends on how big a wolf pack you've got. Assuming you've got 15-20 wolves, I think they would stand a pretty good chance against an average grizzly bear or something. They could apply pack tactics and lunge from multiple sides, making it tough for the bear to ward them off. Whether they'd have the same luck against a glowing bear god though is maybe more debatable since it's.. well.. a glowing bear god.. and probably super overpowered for most opponents. I imagine a glowing bear god could just kind of swipe its paw and wipe out like hundreds of wolves, in which case maybe the wolf pack doesn't really stand much of a chance after all. That said, sometimes I just like to root for the underdogs so I'm gonna say the wolves will find a way and take out the bear god, ending the evening with a nice victory howl or something majestic like that.

3. Written, 3 TPE, History Repeating (150 words min.)

Tell me about something good that happened in your SHL career which you hope will happen again! What is it, what will it look like? Did it happen to your current player or one of your former players? What can you do to stack the odds in your favor?

My current player isn't even in the SHL yet, so I'll write about my former player in this case. Overall my player's career was okay, but not outstanding. The one aspect I'm proud of was the longevity and that I played my entire career just for one team. I did win a few awards in the SHL and ended up breaking several league records, but the real success only came in IIHF. So what am I hoping for with my current player? It would be nice to play my entire career with just one team again, but I'm not making plans like this. I also don't think I could break my old records, but just being on a team with nice people is good enough. I'm already repeating one step that I did with my previous player and that's a Toronto rebuild. I think I might've even had two of them last time. Hopefully this time around it'll actually work out better.

4. Written, 3 TPE, Dream Series (150 words min.)

Many teams have rivals they'd love to trounce in a playoff series. Maybe you as a player have another specific player you'd love to beat to win the cup and lord it over them for the rest of their lives. Tell me who you'd love to play in a playoff series and why! Why would you love to beat this team or player? What would it mean to you or your team? Keep it friendly.

There are several teams I'd play to play against and for different reasons. Let's start with our old rivals. In the first round I'd like to beat Hamilton (alternatively Buffalo is a good choice here as well, first one, then the other). Whether you've been around during the old Great Lakes times or not, they're both teams that didn't make it very easy for Toronto in the past and sweeping them would feel so great. Another team I'd like to play for different reasons would be Atlanta. Ever since they joined the league as an expansion team I've liked the team for some reason. Not only because their GM hotdog was one of my old S47 friends, but also because I like their whole branding a lot. After our new Toronto logo refresh it's my probably second favorite in the east. As far as the west goes it can really only be Chicago. A lot of my friends in the league have either played for Chicago or still play for them (or have even GMed there). On top of that they were part of the Great Lakes and some late revenge here would be nice too.

14. Written, 3 TPE, IIHF Analysis (150 words min.)

Write your predictions for this year's IIHF tournament or WJC! Tell me about your team! How far do you realistically expect to go this year? What nations do you want to match up against, and which do you dread? What are your expectations for your player?

I'll start with the last part and word myself backwards through this prompt. Expectations for my player. Well, given the fact that I'm still playing with my 350 TPE SMJHL build at IIHF I can't really expect all that much. Shaggy will be the backup goalie in the tournament for Finland (first time playing with the seniors!) and we'll just hope that Matty can play some decent games and get us through round robin. In the medal rounds, in case we make it that far, my player won't play anyway. Perhaps FHM is nice to us this time and will give Shaggy some random wins too, we'll see. Expectations for Finland in general are the same as the previous years - more medals, hopefully a gold medal again. We're not afraid of anyone and I think we have a strong enough roster to beat any of the other teams. Especially our S62 players should be pretty good and we have many of them.

One player Tony Soprano looks up to is First-Name Last-Name. First-Name Last-Name had a successful 20-year career in the SHL. During his career, he developed his skills, which lead him to become one of the league's top players. One of the highlights of his career was scoring the cup-winning goal in the finals in OT, securing the championship for his team- Philadelphia Forge. IF there is anything I hope to happen again, I hope Tony can score the OT cup-winner for his team also. Looking back at that experience, I hope to recreate the feeling of having a long, successful career in the SHL. I also want to see my current player, Tony Soprano, use "First-Name Last-Name" as a mentor and strive to become even better than him. Overall, by using "First-Name Last-Name" as a mentor and striving for a long, successful career in the SHL, Tony Soprano achieves his full potential and become one of the league's top players. In terms of recreating the cup-winning goal in the finals, that may be more difficult to achieve. Winning a championship requires a combination of skill, hard work, and a bit of luck. However, by focusing on the process rather than the outcome, I can give myself the best possible chance of success.

Let's say the arena for this fight is a massive, open-air stadium located in the middle of a dense forest. The stadium itself is built around a massive, ancient tree, which towers high above the canopy of the surrounding forest.
The rules of the fight are simple: it's a battle of strength, speed, and endurance between the glowing bear god and the mighty wolfpack. The winner is the first to knock their opponent out of the ring, which is a circular area located in the center of the stadium.
At the start of the match, the bear god lumbers into the ring, its fur glowing brightly in the dim light of the forest. The wolfpack, in contrast, enters the arena in a blur of motion, their muscles rippling beneath their fur. The bear god seems to have the advantage, with its massive size and strength. However, the wolfpack is incredibly nimble and quick, darting around the bear god and nipping at its heels.
As the match wears on, the bear god becomes increasingly frustrated, swiping its massive paws at the wolves as they dart in and out of its reach. The wolves, meanwhile, are careful not to get too close, always staying just out of range of the bear god's powerful blows.
Finally, in a burst of speed, one of the wolves manages to get behind the bear god and delivers a powerful blow to the back of its head. The bear god staggers, dazed, and the wolves seize the opportunity to knock it out of the ring. In the end, the mighty wolfpack emerges victorious, having used their speed, agility, and teamwork to overcome the seemingly insurmountable strength of the glowing bear god.

Congratulations to the Wolfpack on their championship win! As for the playoffs, there were certainly some surprises along the way. The Wolfpack being a fresh face in the finals is certainly exciting, as it adds an element of unpredictability and new energy to the playoffs. It's always interesting to see new teams make a deep run and challenge the established powers in the league.
In terms of surprises in the playoffs, there are always a few upsets and unexpected twists and turns. Perhaps the most surprising thing this year was the Wolfpack's comeback victory against the Forge after being down 3-2 in the series. That kind of resilience and determination is a hallmark of championship teams, and it's clear that the Wolfpack have what it takes to win.
