Task 1
Challenge Cup, all the eyes are on you, watching every little thing you do. Well maybe everyone except me. I get to sit on the bench and open the bench doors. Wonder if there has been a highlight of that? But if you think for one moment that the backup goalie is just chilling and isn't feeling nervous on the bench than you are completely wrong. Even though I am not on the ice I felt extremely nervous throughout the whole series. Watching my man Timo Haas doing his thing in net I could only watch in awe. I could see some of my teammates feeling nervous too. I tried to joke around and make them a bit more comfortable in the game. You might even have seen me dance a little on the bench during the TV timeouts. But man before those games the butterflies were definitely flying in my stomach. Even know I knew the chances of me going into the game were pretty slim I was ready if the coach ever gave me a nod.

Task 2
Mathias Holmberg has been in the way...well in a good way. He has 29 shot blocks in 15 games and that's almost two blocks per game. This guy even when he is not putting up points there are a lot of things he does that fly under the radar and should be considered for unsung hero. He clearly makes it very difficult for teams to get into good shooting positions and try to for a scoring chance. He is also one of the main players to play for Minnesota's Penalty Kill as he has the second highest PK minutes with 32. The coaches trust him and are eager for him to shut down the oppositions top line. Its extremely tough for a player to beat Holmberg cleanly as he is such a good defenseman. His offense does also help Minnesota out as he does have 10 points in the playoffs. And he was one of the main reasons why they would go and win the Cup.

Task 6
With LA and Minnesota duking it out in the Finals we have to look for some surprise players that always seem to show up around this time. For LA I think Jaxson Reynolds is going to be a guy that will step up for the Panthers. Hes been sorta quite this playoffs but I think he will fill a huge role in these Finals. He doesn't get a ton of minutes per game but he makes them count. Minnesota will have to watch him carefully to make sure they don't get burned by him. On the other side I think a guy like Pedro Sarantez can be a sneaky guy that starts to get hot here. Both teams will look to get their player to start racking up points for their team. With these depth players, either team will look to win the championship. In the end you can't rely on your top 6 and the longer the playoffs go, you have to lean on the bottom 6. But looking at the super stars I think Lord Petty Flacko will win the MVP.

Task 4
