TASK ONE: Decorate your teammates car for the big game! Can be written or graphic. If written, tell us how you plan on "decorating" your teammates ride before leaving for the viewing party and must be 150 words.

Chris Crutchfield drives a big as Escalade, which suits his big play on the ice (I guess), he has that thing trimmed with all the high end chrome and gadgets, so its always fun to play with guys that are into their cars and since we got eliminated by the Portland Admirals I know it would get under his skin if we dressed up his baby like a Admiral loving wagon, so that’s what I would do.

First I would get the car painted pink, that would piss him off, just because it a less masculine color, then I would put the Portland emblem on his hood, then we would change the horn, when pressed to scream “Go Portland”, his rims would have the Portland emblem as well, or Wally’s face, I’m not sure which yet…but I am leaning towards Wally’s face. Finally, we would put on both doors, “0 Days since Wally made a Trade”.

Of course, I would need to make sure I had a clean get away before he saw the vehicle, because…well, I like my face in its current condition

TASK TWO: Pre-Party! Create a drink menu for the arena to sell during the playoff series. Must have four drink specials named after two players each team and have a brief description of each drink! Must be at least 150 words total. If graphic, create a menu that contains four drinks, brief description and price!

Drink Menu:

1 - The “All in Andrey” for Andrey Barbashev – This shot is to showcase his dominance on both ends of the ice we have some goldschlager to show he deserves a medal, with Russian Standard Vodka to show is ice cold nerves and is Nationality and finally Ouzo for that black licorice taste to show his dogged determination and give you that kick in the ass when downing the shot.

2 – The “King Kristian” for Kristian Ericksson – This shot is pure offence, like Kristian is on the ice. It combines Jack Daniels Number 27 Gold, with Yukon Jack, lit on fire to showcase he will burn you many ways….just like this shot will.

3 – The “Pedro Pusher” for Pedro Sarantez – This drink is classy, elegant and smooth, much like the player, with rum, fruit juice, peach schnapps and a pint of cinnamon.

4 – The “New New Yorker” for Chris York – This shot is raw and will blow your mind if your not careful, just like the Portland rookie. It contains Absinthe, Casa Noble Tequila, hot peppers and Cinnamon.

All Drinks are only available while the S35 SHL Finals are going on, as a very affordable $20.00.

Come gets your today, before its too late!

TASK THREE: Write a script for the game day preview for Game One of the Finals. Must be at least 150 words.

(Backdrop is to the ZNN Sport Center, with Kate and Coby as the camera pans into Coby)

So here we are, after a grueling 50 game season and 2 rounds of playoffs we have our two combatants trying to reach for ultimate glory…..for the first time in their franchises history…that’s right folks, one of these two teams who has never won the SHL Championship will reign as the SHL’s best.

On one hand, representing the West you have the Portland Admirals who were in the SHL Finals last year, eventually losing to the Manhattan Rage…but they are back, more experienced, more hungry and looking to put Portland on the map.

For the East, you have the perennial underdogs, who have never been able to win the Cup in their teams long history…however, this season they are looking to change that and have embraced the David versus Goliath storyline, as the underdog in this series.

What do you think of this series Kate?

(Camera 2 – On Kate)

Toronto bring significant more offensive firepower to the table, however Portland has overcome teams like Los Angeles and Calgary who also brought more goal scoring, shutting them down with their stingy defensive play, so I truly don’t see much changing, as Toronto is just not defensively solid enough to run with Portland in a tight series.

I go Portland in 6 or 7 games.

Thanks Kate, there you have it folks, now lets get to the game and really see what happens…

TASK FOUR: Who is your choice for the S35 Playoff MVP to this point? Must be 150 words.

S35 SHL Playoff MVP - Andrey Barbashev (TOR)

When you look at the MVP award, it should go to the player that makes the most impact on that respective team and I have no choice but to say Andrey Barbashev from Toronto.

Firstly, he is playing 30 minutes a night, which for those that have played playoff hockey, like myself, that is a huge toll to take on and play a high level. Secondly he has 14 points in 10 game, as a defenceman, 4 points from the power play and 5 goals with 9 helpers……I don’t need to say anymore there. Thirdly he is a solid +3 player, with 24 shot blocks, you compare that to a fellow Toronto player, the second highest point producer on the team, Kristian Eriksson, who is a -4.

It just proves this guy does it all and is a lynchpin for the team, making you wonder, if he was out of the line up would Toronto be where they are right now?

My answer is doubtful….that’s what makes him my S35 Playoff MVP.
