TASK ONE: Pick either of the teams currently in the finals. Which player had to overcome the most adversity to get where they are at now? What did they have to endure before finally getting their crack at the Cup? Must be 150 words and include two specific situations that player experienced en-route to the Cup finals, whether this season or at some point during their career.

This is pretty simple. This is the man who spent his whole career as a backup and did not get a chance to show who he truely is. Now that is because he was the backup to cragons legend hunter wong. So obviously he was the backup but now that wong is wong, Richard C. Hocolate gets what he wanted his whole life. This is kind of like the Jeff Glass situation spending time in the minors and other leagues but then gets his chance at 32. This is a situation for Richard C. Hocolate. He has been insanely good in the playoffs with a Save percentage of .904 and GAA of 2.83 with the record of 8-3 which is better than other starters. And now look, he has reached the Cup Finals which is very hard for other teams to do. He has had an amazing playoff run taking down the better teams and president winners.

TASK TWO: Who is your choice for the unsung hero of the S38 playoffs up to this point? Must be at least 150 words and include at least two statistics in support.

My unsung hero choice is none other than Mike Izzy. Ever since he was traded from edmonton to calgary which is pretty weird since both teams hate each other, one helped the other and Izzy is the future. He had a great season with 30 points and he continued to be great in the playoffs. He has 7 points in 11 games which an incredible 6 goals. And one of them were game winning goals. He has been generating a lot of offense buy shooting the puck a lot and creating those rebounds but he as a power forward, has also been generating motviation by being physical. He has 46 hits which is most in the team but also 2nd in the playoffs behind his opponent in the finals, Ace Reeding. He is a real help in the power play having 2 power play goals already which is more than anyone. Do not mess with him because if the dragons win, he's one of the reason.

TASK FOUR: What rookies or young players are looking to make a name for themselves during the Finals? How have they contributed to the team on the way to the Finals? Must be at least 150 words, and include two statistics.

This season and playoffs was all about young players and especially rookies. They have made a name for themselves but making the finals is bigger than ever. From the dragons comes of course Mike Izzy who has done great but there is another play who really made a name for himself and he is Dani Forsberg. He is playing 17 minutes a game which is pretty good for a young player comapred for the highest in the team which is 25 and he is almost point per game with 10 points in 11 games. Forsberg has helped this team good chuck of times and pruducing offensively for his team.

Augustus is a rookie defenseman who has 8 points in 11 games and that is phenomenal. He has more points than other experienced defenseman in the playoffs as a 2nd pair and he's done a really good job and one of the reasons his team is now in the playoffs. So young players and rookies do make a difference for their team.

TASK SIX: You’re the coach of a team in the finals. What changes would you make to the roster, lines or strategies of the team to give the team a better chance at winning the series? Must be at least 150 words.

You know when a team makes the finals, you know the lines that were made was successful and good for the sim engine. But things can chance in the finals that can go negative. Seeing the lines from the Manhattan Rage, The top 6 for forwards and the top 4 for defenseman are getting good chunk of minutes. Only 5 players are in the bottom 6 or top 6 and they are not getting double shifted so that is alright but not getting minutes. But that means they have superstar players that are getting more minutes and have insanely highi endurance. But I would be a type of guy that would make it instead fair. 35% of the first 2 and then 15% for the bottom 2 and gives those non-double shifting players a chance. Defense remains the same. The strategies obviously seeing is that produce offense and stick to offense instead of the balance. They are one of the most dangerous offensive team because of that. So not much changes especially the lines which have been working.
