TASK ONE:
Alexis Metzler started his offseason the way he usually does- by getting on his yacht and sailing it all the way through the Great Lakes from Buffalo to Duluth, MN. He stopped in Minneapolis for a day to have lunch with former Detroit teammate Terrance Nova, but has since spent the rest of his time away with his family in rural North Dakota. There is golf out there, but it's on the most remote course imaginable, so he plays with nobody else. Alexis Metzler does not usually follow the playoffs if he's not playing himself, but he has been watching the games for both Minnesota and Winnipeg with his family- while Metzler himself no longer has any pre-professional loyalties to any SHL teams, his extended family were fans of the Winnipeg Jets or Minnesota Chiefs since before he was born, and everyone sits down to watch the games in the evening when they happen.

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.

TASK FOUR:
PM'd to Pris

TASK SIX: Finals series always show surprises. Who will have to stand out the most from each team in order to win it? Make a prediction for potential series MVPs. Must be at least 150 words and mention at least one player from each team.
