TASK ONE: There are two options for this task.

If you are a player in the Challenge/Four Star Cup: How is your player feeling for the Finals? Are they nervous or excited? Are they ready? Write at least 150 words about the few days before the beginning of the Finals for your player and how they prepared for the series.
For Mattias Holmberg, staying calm and knowing what his role on the ice is is all he needs to do to prepare for the Finals. This will be his second time heading to the finals, so he doesn't have the first time jitters like the rest of Minnesota has. Sure, he is a little nervous, but that's to be expected when you have an opportunity to win a second Challenge Cup. I mean, think about it. How many have a chance to win the cup once, let alone twice. You'd have to be a robot to go into the series not feeling nervous.

Anyways, Holmberg is ready. He took the few days off before the finals to go over game tape and fix some positioning problems he has had, while also studying the Panthers offensive and defensive setups. Holmberg has also been seen using the local RapidShot to work on improving his form and getting just a bit more power into his shot.


TASK TWO: Who is your choice for the unsung hero of the S39 playoffs up to this point? Must be at least 150 words and include at least two statistics in support.

Who is my choice for the unsung hero of the S39 playoffs so far? Well that's an easy question to answer for me. No doubt in my mind, it clearly is Mattias Holmberg. This fucking stud muffin has been on a role with the Chiefs ever since he has stepped into their locker room and graced them with his presence. For real, this fucking pièce de résistance fucking lit up the SHL after he pulled on the Minnesota sweater over his head. I mean, the Chiefs would have easily been eliminated in the first round if they didn't trade for Holmberg.

Look at the stats this masterpiece has put up so far this postseason. In the eight games before finals, put his body in front of 16 shots. That's right bitches, this super swede blocked 16 shots so far. This monster among men has also scored one goal, and assisted on five other goals. Plus that goal he scored was a game winner, so this top banana is a real hero, even if the Minnesota team wants to deny and ignore his impact he has made on the team.

TASK FOUR: DID IT BITCHES
