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.

The person who had the most adversity to overcome in the season 38 simulated hockey league season is geoffrey allen from the manhattan rage. The former texas renegade and team usa player had to leave a team he called home for all of his career in order to achieve a chance at greatness. His second reason of adversity is the fact that he's giving up hope on every winning anything after stinking it up with the renegades forever. I actually don't remember if they won anything since season 20 but I'm assuming they didn't because allen was on the team. It's hard to have such an amazing career in another league (GOMHL) and then blow giant chodes in the more popular one. Allen and I share similar paths where we're gods in one league, have an awesome pet, but suck nuts in SHL. I hope to use Allen's success as a motivational tool for me to get the ball rolling in WKP. Go allen, go. But don't win too much


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.

I think Mike Izzy is an unsung player for the calgary dragons in this season 38 simulated hockey league championship playoff run. He had 7 points in 11 games which is pretty good, but now a huge wow factor. What separates him from the rest of the crowd is his ability to score points when they really matter. Examples of his clutch performance include his hat trick against the jets and a overtime game winning goal in the same series. He also had almost fifty hits helping enforce a physical presences to the dragons lineup. Izzy is the kind of guy who will find the loose puck in a crowded area and tap in the easy goal. That sounds really easy, but you need to be a big physical man to get yourself into positions for rebounds and tap ins like that. His rookie season was less than impressive, but after some training this season he's started to pick things up. Watch out for him to make a decent run in the finals.


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.

A young growing developing inspirational player of rookie status for the simulated hockey league that will be looking to make a name for himself (or herself) is Crossfit Jesus for the Manhattan Rage. So far he's kinda sucked balls this postseason, but he had a decent regular season as far as rookie performances are concerned. Obvious the management in Manhattan would love to see his performance step up nowadays, but so far it's looked like it hasn't. The finals are his final opportunity this season to show off that he is not a scrub. He's definitely capabale of doing it, just like jesus he will rise from the dead (stats) and the ice rink will throw bunnies, which is how easter in new york is performed. Right now he has just 5 points, which nobody cares about, but they're 5 points that seem really helpful to the Rage. But his plus 5 shows that he's at least not dragging his team down, so that's a, uh, plus.


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.

First of all I would scratch Dean colt from the line up from manhattan and instead place, like, anybody in that spot. Find a make a wish kid and give him some skates, and he'll do a bang up job compared to the faceoff god that is dean colt.

Next I would put Geoffrey Allen on all four lines, but mix up whether he's center wing or other wing for each one. Each game randomize the order to ensure the other team can't react and prepare to the changes. Also make him captain, twice.

Make the playing time percentages 69, 20, 10, 1. This will help Ace Redding focus on the number 69 which will make him laugh and play better.

Wyatt Wolker should be moved to offense, because spoiler alert I hear he's pretty good at taking down walls of defense. I also hear he's pretty good at taking out dragons. Maybe randalman should watch out for any random spears thrown on the ice.
