TASK ONE: Decorate your teammate’s 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.
 
(The following is an excerpt from an interview conducted by Alex Reed of the Portland Admirals describing what he is going to do to his teammate Colin Banning’s vehicle prior to the team viewing party next week)  So Banner is kind of a weird dude, and he drives or is driven around in a huge Winnebago bus thing.  Maybe he likes to have a home away from home or something, or maybe he has to leave town fast sometimes when all the ladies start figuring out who he’s spending more time with.  So obviously the first thing I’m doing is painting a huge ‘FREE CANDY’ sign on the sides, for the kids – and then a huge ‘REAR ADMIRAL’ sign on the back.  For the ladies, or dudes, whatever.  Then we’re filling that sucker up with as many Navy or pirate clad people as we can find and taking them to the viewing party, so they can cozy up to Banning as their leader.  Inside we’re going to have a disco ball, streamers, balloon animals and a fog machine.  Did I mention I’m f**ked up on acid right now?

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!
 
The BREEDER by Alex Reed.  The perfect cocktail for getting some tail for your cock.  1 and half ounces of raspberry vodka, 4 ounces of sprite soda, and 3 quarters of an ounce of grenadine.  Layer the ingredients in a glass with cubed ice, and garnish with two Maraschino Cherries.  Feed to ladies or dudes until the panties (or boxers) come off.  Rinse and repeat.
 
The BANNISHER by Colin Banning.  A signature martini made with Bombay gin, and vermouth, shaken to pure perfection and garnished with pimento-stuffed green olives.  Always very, very dirty, with the special ingredient being the salty tears of those North Stars fans who are very very salty indeed.
 
The HART ATTACK by Mark Harter. Start by pouring 2 ounces of white rum into a large glass, add a blend of fruit juices that fit your fancy, and end with a pure Cosby.   Feed to Kirkstone, have some fun with him if you wish, or take his starting job.  Your choice. 
 
The LAINGER by Reed Laing.  One shot of bourbon, one shot of Jack, one shot of tequila, mixed together for some reason in a glass rimmed with coke (that kind).  You pound the drink, repeat several times in the next 2 hours and wake up with herpes and anal Werts.

TASK FOUR: Who is your choice for the S35 Playoff MVP to this point? Must be 150 words.
 
(Written prior to the start of the Challenge Cup Finals)  My choice for the S35 Playoff MVP would be Kyle Wahlgren of the Portland Admirals.  Having served for the last several seasons as an understudy, including last year’s Challenge Cup finalist team, behind Mark Harter, Wahlgren has taken the monumental leap to the top of the SHL pack in terms of playoff goaltending.  He currently sports a sparkling 0.926 save percentage and 2.47 goals against average through the first 12 games, with both marks being tops in the league playoffs by considerable margins.  He has played every single minute in the Admirals net so far this playoffs, and has clearly been the standout player and leader the team has needed, helping them rally from a 3-2 conference finals series deficit and back into the Cup finals. It is ironic that his former teammate Harter finds himself as the backup on the other Cup finalist bench with the Toronto North Stars, where you can be sure that although he wants to win the cup, he is proud of his former teammate for the strides he has made.   (186 words)
