Task 2

Heading into one of the most crucial series in the teams history, disaster has struck the Winnipeg locker room. Finally being caught red handed was Winnipeg Jets star Pietra Volkova as she accepted donations from fans for her personal amazon ‘wishlist’ as they scrambled to what people are calling “white knighting” her affection away. This is something strictly outlawed in the rule book dealing with personal contributions on the side while under a league contract. The player had been accepting ‘donations’ from her advertised wishlist for ‘fans’ wanting to go the extra mile to win her affection. The reward? “Lewd” photos of the Russian star a kin to the body issue photos taken regularly by ESPN. The poor timing of this all right before the pivotal series with Volkova playing as well as she has been now has all eyes on the league as a whole as this wasn’t ever considered with its players both male and female, shining a less than good light on a once reserved league.

Task 3

1) What do you feel will be the difference maker in the finals? (Goaltending? Scoring? Special teams?)
2) Anything personal in this match up for you? Some revenge for past series or even players who might have left to head to Winnipeg?
3) Do you think the Platoon has the pieces to compete like this next season again?
4) How do you feel about your play heading into the finals? Do you feel you can keep up this level of current play?

1: I'm a little biased, but goaltending will be the biggest story this series. I've been playing lights out so far, and you have the second highest save percentage on the other side. Both sides have shown they can score. It'll be a matter of which goalie can slow it down the most.
2: For fun I'd like to say it's personal, but honestly there's no real beef. Volkova leaving WKP was really sad and a huge hole in our offense, but things worked out great for both sides in the end.
3: Consistency has always been a staple in West Kendall. While Calgary has been the most successful reaching the ploofs in the past 20 something seasons, West Kendall has been right there behind them, only dropping out a few seasons. Time and time again, if a big piece ends up leaving the team we find a way to adjust and come back. But if we keep everybody again, we could possibly reach dynasty status.
4: My play has been amazing. Ain't nothing getting past me. Not even no stinkin' jets.


Task 5

- Who is the favorite and who is the underdog of this series and why?
The Favourites are most likely the Winnipeg Jets. Why? Well they have been consistent in challenging or seeming to challenge every season since winning the cup. With a core like Evans – Visser – Weber, it’s hard to not think that, as they try again for another cup. Being the Underdogs is just find for the Platoon as many people expected them to bow out in 5 games to the Steelhawks and well, here we are, how did that work out for all of you?

- Which organization needs this championship more in terms of legacy?
The Platoon. Why do you ask? To prove their cup wasn’t just a one off fluke. The core of this team has been together for seasons, and stuck it out through the thick and thin, and didn’t bolt to chase a cup to a Western team. So with that dedication and support for one another they need this cup to prove they are more than just a flash in a pan and a true contender for seasons to come.

- Who are the 3 most dangerous players on the ice in this series and why?

Dani Forsberg – Jason Visser – Alex Light.

Visser destroyed the league for points this season so it’s not hard to see why he is a constant threat heading into the series. Next is the newer platoon member Dani Forsberg. Having been quietly effective for the Platoon all season, his ability to crush a game on his own should always be feared. Lastly is Alex Light. His attractive to Game winners is something verging on the side of restraining order, the guys loves to pot those late game goals, so when the team is in need, look to the Light.


Bonus: Ludwig Koch Schroder and Jon Ross
