Task one

How has your player kicked off their offseason? Are they traveling? Meeting up with friends and partying? Following the games? Write at least 150 words about the beginning of your player’s offseason. Must include at least one other player.

Maurizio's offseason started a lot earlier than he thought. He had a decent playoff run, but you can't always win. Congrats to Minnesota with the win, Arrivabene's mentor, Ray Pejonis is really proud of your and Pedro Sarantez's accomplishment. Maurizio started his offseason off with traveling back to his native Brescia, Italy, enjoyed his time at home, finnaly. He hadn't returned home since his contract dispute with Seattle after the S35 draft. After a short while in Italy, he went to Latvia to meet up with his teammate in SHL and in team Latvia, Isaac Cormier-Hale and his mentor, Ray Pejonis. It's time to bring out the pain, it's the time to fulfill his potential and be a instrumental piece in Winnipeg's quest in getting an another cup. Only time will tell what will happen, but Maurizio is for damn sure Winnipeg will come back and will come back even stronger.

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.

Winnipeg's playoff run had a lot of people step up, but there was one player, that just stepped up his game so much, that it shouldnt go unnoticed. Winnipeg has a good mix of youthful superstar defenders and veterans, but there's a guy in between.

Alek Koivu has never been the flashiest player, he does his job and does it well. His 9 points in 13 games were enough to be second in the Winnipeg's defensive scoring, which he achieved in only 16 minutes of ice time. While Isaac Cormier-Hale, one of the best defenseman in the SHL got caught up in being a nuisance and a tough guy, Alek Koivu quietly stepped up with the highest P/20 in his team with 0,87 and the fourth highest shot percentage with 12,50%, only behind the two rooks and the goat - Maurizio Arrivabene, Vijanupatan Singh and Luke Fleming. Koivu has always been the quiet top 4 defenseman, behind the two Jets stars, Max Weber and Isaac Cormier-Hale, but this was the time he stepped up and stepped up massively. Sad to see that Winnipeg couldnt win it all, but they are still in their prime and will be a powerhouse for years to come.

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.

The Minnesota Chiefs had a lot of players who stepped up, but the one who stands out the most is Terrance Nova. The former Falcon was a consistent scorer in the quest of getting Minnesota's first cup since season 12. He racked up 10 goals and 9 assists in 15 games. The one stat that I'm most surprised of is that he had no penalty minutes in the 15 games. Truly a MVP of his team and an insturmental piece of Minnesota's cup run.

As for the Los Angeles Panthers, the most dominant player on the ice and the MVP should be Jean-Luc Reflieux. 18 points in 16 games is not the most important stat. The most important thing is that he simply said fuck you to everyone and just took over games all by himself. In game 5 against the Winnipeg Jets, Reflieux got two goals and an assist and he was everywhere. Hitting, passing scoring, you name it. Sadly, they didnt go all the way, the Minnesota Chiefs were too much. Congratulations to the Chiefs for winning it all.
