Task 1
Being in the Four Star Cup final is an amazing experience for me. My grandfather Ben Wong has and father Hunter Wong have both been in the finals before. I was never able to visit Ben Wong’s final experiences as child, but, I was able to attend by father’s in Calgary. It was the season 32 cup final when he won his 3rd and final cup of his career. It was an amazing experience and one I’ll never forget. However, this it’s my turn now. I am the 3rd generation of the Wong family dynasty, but I am hoping to be able to do what Ben never did, and that was win as a skater for the Wongs. It’s been amazing time with my teammates, especially my best friend, Karno. He and I have been rooming together, just like Hunter and Gagner did in Calgary. Just some sort of special connection between the four of us. Hunter and Gagner were best of friends and they won three cups together. Unfortunately, Karno and I will only have this opportunity once barring any unforeseen circumstance. However, getting ready for the cup finals is no difference then any other game, but it just seems like we're all giving it 200% of effort without wasting energy. We have to take it one game at a time, win or lose, we got to keep going and while we have to keep our eye on the prize, we can’t overthink it. It’s a difficult situation to be in, but it sure hell is fun.

Task 2
The unsung hero of the playoffs for the Minnesota Chiefs has to be Mattias Holmberg. With only 10 points in the playoffs, he is being outshined by the other stars of the Chiefs with a high powered offence. However, if you dive deeper into the stats, he has blocked a team high 29 shots and has averaged about 23.52 minutes per game. This guy is a trooper. He has fought on every shift he’s been on the ice for. Without those 29 blocked shots, who knows how many more goals could’ve been let in by the Chiefs. Goaltender O’Koivu definitely appreciates the help of Holmberg. The more shots he blocks, the easier the job is for the netminder. However, Holmberg has also been clutch on 2 occasions. He may only have 2 goals in the playoffs, but, one of the goals was the game winning goal. And the other goal was a game tying goal. This guy doesn’t rack it up on the scoresheet to a casual fan’s eye, but to the diehards, the Minnesota fans and the Minnesota management, they know, without Holmberg, they may well possibly not be here.

Task 4
PM'd

Task 6
The player that will have to stand the most this series will be Olli O’Koivu. This season 31 draftee was given his chance to shine in these playoffs, and he sure has hell has. Having only losing 3 total games in the playoffs, 1 being in overtime, this man has been unbeatable. Boasting a 2.47 goals against average and a .919 save percentage, good luck getting any puck past this guy. The typical amount of goals for any team to win a game will be at least 3 goals. Well, if O’Koivu isn’t even letting in 3 goals per game, what is the other team supposed to do. The other team will need to rely on defence if they want to win any game, because they just ran into the hottest goaltender in the game right now. Just like the saying, you’re only as strong as your chin, in hockey, the saying I believe in is, you’re only going as far as your goaltender allows you. You can score 6 goals a game, but if your goaltender allows 7, all your work was for nothing. O’Koivu has gone above and beyond, not only keeping his team in games, but flat out stealing games. He is, in my mind, the MVP.
