Task 1:

Artemi Berezin had one last shot at glory in the SMJHL with the trade that saw he leave Montreal and end up in Detroit, but it didn’t work out like either of them wanted, so now the long off-season starts, and Berezin knows the next stop in New England and the SHL.

Berezin headed back to Montreal after the Falcons couldn’t move past in the playoffs to meet back up with some old teammates who made their rookie debut’s last year in the SHL, the Tanner twins, Jack and Keygan for some advice and off-season training that could get him ready for the next step of his career.

As usual, the best advice he got was from Jack, who takes his on-ice career very seriously, with a strict diet and workout plan both on and off the ice, while Keygan, with his god given skill, doesn’t improve and rather would eat some questionable food, and loves the party scene in Montreal, as Edmonton is played out he says.
Task 2:


The choice for unsung hero of the playoffs thus far has to be an easy one to make, LA’s Danny Foster. A player known for his tough style of play, making it difficult for even the most skilled opponent to get free ice out there, Danny Foster has upped his game this playoff, with 9 points in 8 games. Which is quite the accomplishment for a player who has 24 penalty minutes and can still use his body after a total of 36 hits in those 8 games.

Every playoff has your players like Sophia Bennett, who just light the lamp, or even top goalies like Timo Haas, who has under a 2.00 GAA, but to have a player like Danny Foster step up to the plate and take a whole new approach to his game, and not only contribute off the puck like he always does, but to contribute with the puck, is very welcomed by the Panthers who look to bring the cup back with them.
Task 4:

PMed

Task 6:

There are two huge standouts from each team competing for the Challenge Cup, and both are the gate keepers.

Timo Haas for the Panthers, who as of right now has a big vote behind him for season MVP, has risen to the task of elite goalie once again, and is only a few wins of his Panthers winning the cup. Through 8 games played this off-season, Timo has a 7-1 record while posting a ridiculous .941 SP and 1.89 GAA.

In the opposing end, Olli O’Koivu has cemented his status with the Chiefs this season and post-season, leading them with just as impressive numbers through 8 games, 7-1 record, 910 SP and 2.68GAA.

Both of these goalies are well deserved of that MVP honours, but there can only be one winner, usually the winning team gets the MVP as well, but even if Minnesota wins, I still think there is deep discussion for Timo Haas, those numbers don’t lie, he is the real deal.
Bonus: Danny Foster
