TASK TWO: Who is your choice for the unsung hero of the S40 playoffs up to this point? Must be at least 150 words and include at least two statistics in support.

My choice for this seasons unsung hero of the playoffs would be Calgary's own Louie Garrett. Garrett quietly put up 22 points this post season, in 19 games played, 9 of those points were goals.

Garrett just had a one year layover in Calgary and it looks like he will be returning to his home town team in Seattle. Even though Garrett's time with the team was short he really made an impact and left a his mark on the team, especially in the playoffs.

While still fairly young, Garrett brought a leadership element in his game that was crucial to the Dragons success this season. Garrett lead by example and played the game properly, and this was proven by his penalty minutes...a whopping 2 minutes total throughout the post season. There are many more reasons why Louie Garrett gets my vote for unsung hero, but these are my main reasons. Good luck with your return to Seattle!

TASK SIX: Both of the goaltenders in the finals have put up a remarkable battle for their teams to get them this far. Between the two starting goaltenders, who wins the goalie battle, and will it be enough for them to bring their team home a Cup win? Justify your decision in at least 150 words with at least two goalie statistics and one team statistic.

The goaltending duel between Dick Hocolate and Olli O'Koivu was a hard fought one and while the playoffs are now over and hindsight is 20/20, I would have chosen Hocolate from the start. Hocolate finished in first place in almost every category including save percentage (.922), GAA (2.57), shots faced (627), and wins (12). He also tied for first in shut outs with 1 and had the second most minutes played for goaltenders in the playoffs, finishing second only to O'Koivu who had an extra game played.

Hocolates calm demeanour really helped the Dragons strong offensive play during this post season and helped them be confident enough to score at a 3.16 goals per game average, beating out the Minnesota Chiefs who came in at 3.15.

I think Hocolates stats speak for themselves and his insanely strong play played a huge part in the Calgary Dragons success this season for sure.
