Task 2-

I would have to take Ace Redding for the unsung hero of the playoffs to this point, he may not have the most points for the playoffs but that is why it is the unsung award. When you look at Redding’s performance it has been steady throughout the whole playoffs and he is one of those guys that makes room for other people on the ice, producing 93 hits in 20 games leading the playoffs. Redding is always one of those guys that does a pass first mentality especially on the powerplay he had 6 powerplay points and 5 of them were assists. I can’t wait to watch Redding in action with the games to come if he can keep plugging away like he has he will put his team in a good place to possibly capture another title. He heads the top line and hasn’t looked back in many seasons, always takes a set forward when it comes to leadership.


Task 4-

Rookies are always a hot top on who is going to make our break their team when is comes to the playoffs, Roman Augustus is one of those player that is definitely helping his team and not hurting it. I’ve had the chance to watch Augustus grow as a player since his time with the Scarecrows & may have even played a couple games while I was a Scarecrow. Augustus is a stay at home defensemen that plays a very tight game, he plays top 4 minutes for the Dragons and that has helped in the development. He hasn’t had anytime on the powerplay but he has still managed to put up 9 assists throughout 17 games in the playoffs and for a rookie that is an amazing accomplishment. Speaking of Augustus being a stay at home defensemen he is always one of those players to step in front of the net and block a shot for his goalie he has already accounted for 21 blocks in the playoffs so far.


Task 6-

To be honest if I was Calgary and notice the strategies that Manhattan had I would compare a lot more with how deep the Dragons are I would have switched lines one and two because I think that the second line for the Dragons could keep up and hold the Rages first line. Another thing I would have taken into consideration is the amount of time played by percentage the Rage had their top 2 lines playing 80% of the time while with the depth of the Dragons they had spread the time out more evenly through out the 4 lines of the team, the only change that I would have done to the Dragons playing percentage would have been giving the last line 5% and giving that extra 5% to the first line with how solid they have been playing together over the past seasons. This season was no different for this line didn’t matter when you put them on the ice you knew something was going to happen.
