==================================
TASK ONE: ...If not: How has your player kicked off their offseason? Are they traveling? Meeting up with friends and partying? Following the games? Write at least 150 words about the beginning of your player’s offseason. Must include at least one other player.

Goaltender Beaujeaux Biscuit of the West Kendall Platoon has kicked off this offseason with some unorthodox training activities. First off he decided that the SHL's statistic website was hot garbage, and decided to learn some programming just to make a better website. You can check it out at beaujeauxbeaux.azurewebsites.net (i think). It's a lot more fun of an experience than people think. He has also been learning to program how to drive a race car. Fellow teammate, Alex Light, has introduced him to the world of short track racing. While Beaujeaux himself is unable to race, he is able to train his loveable cat, Pushkin, to race instead. Pushkin is currently 12th in the standings, almost 30 higher than this Bower person who some have started calling the caboose of stock car racing. Regardless, Beaujeaux has had a great time this offseason. Now that his senpai, Bojo, has stepped down as GM, it gives him a lot of time to enjoy the little things in life.

==================================
TASK TWO: Who is your choice for the unsung hero of the S39 playoffs up to this point? Must be at least 150 words and include at least two statistics in support.

The unsung hero for the playoffs in my opinion would be the foward from the Los Angeles Panthers, Sophia Bennett. Playing in her third SHL season, her progress has steadily improved each year. This season she was able to score 17 goals for her best SHL season yet, and will likely score even more next season. She was an important piece of the series sweep against Calgary by opening the first game with a goal and an assist. You could even argue that she was the MVP of that whole series, one of the biggest upsets in SHL history. Before the series with Minnesota, Bennett leads all players with 7 goals and 5 assists while also topping the leaderboards in many other categories such as shots, points per 20, and power play goals. Bennett is clearly a fan favorite in LA with her uprising play, and the Panthers have a star to look forward to in the future regardless of what happens in the finals.

TASK FOUR


==================================
TASK SIX: Finals series always show surprises. Who will have to stand out the most from each team in order to win it? Make a prediction for potential series MVPs. Must be at least 150 words and mention at least one player from each team.

The Minnesota Chiefs will likely take home the MVP trophy for the series. They have so many likely candidates such as Sebastian Strange, Terrance Nove, the legends Lord Pretty Flacko and Alonzo Garbonzo. On paper, the Chiefs have so much firepower that it will be hard to stop them, as they have demonstrated in their previous two series against the Platoon and Wolfpack, losing only one game. However, a suprise hit could be Mr. SHL journeyman, Jonathan Lundberg. He's been an essential piece of the special teams racking up big minutes in both power plays and penalty kills, while also packing a punch with most hits this postseason.

Meanwhile, the Panthers have been able to lean on their star goaltender this post season, and it's likely to rest on his shoulders some more for his final test. While the Panthers have been competent on their own, Haas has been able to let them sleep easy while he stands on his head saving shot after shot.
