TASK ONE: Your player has been invited to do color commentary for Game 1 of the Finals. (Un)fortunately, your player’s decided to drink a bit before making this guest appearance. In at least 150 words, write a transcript of the opening commentary of the game and your player’s introduction.

Tommy Tuck enters the booth with the announcers, towering over them and intoxicated, Tommy starts to get a little handsy.
Announcer: Welcome to the Booth Tommy! Glad to have you with… will you let go of me?
Tommy: Well, yeah, in a second…. You just look like you needed a hug.
A: Well, thanks Tommy, but… put that microphone down, you have one attached to you!
T: Oh, I didn’t know, who put this on me?
A: Anyways, how do you feel tonight’s performance will be?
T: I think it will be… What did you ask me? No, I will not make love to you!
A: Tommy that never came out of my mouth, will you just please answer the question?
T: You know what? I’ve had enough of your sass, I’m going to write your boss and tell them that I need a new announcer friend. You sir are no good here.

TASK TWO: Who is your choice for the unsung hero of the S40 playoffs up to this point? Must be at least 150 words and include at least two statistics in support.

My unsung player of the Season 40 playoffs is none other than Toronto teammate Bob Burgen. He was on fire all playoffs for Detroit in the SMJHL playoffs, playing in 15 games and scoring 2 goals and dishing out a staggering 11 assists. He led all players in assists, as a defenseman! That is some astounding work for a man on a mission. Besides the fact that he led the league in assists, he didn’t mind getting his hands or his body dirty. In 15 games, he had 26 hits which is second in the SMJHL playoffs, and he also had 20 shots blocked which is top for all players. Bob Burgen did everything he could to win, and Detroit was lucky to have him out there on the ice. Besides all that, he was also 3rd in minutes, tallying 372 minutes or 24.8 minutes a game. Bob is a force to be reckoned with.

TASK SIX: Both of the goaltenders in the finals have put up a remarkable battle for their teams to get them this far. Between the two starting goaltenders, who wins the goalie battle, and will it be enough for them to bring their team home a Cup win? Justify your decision in at least 150 words with at least two goalie statistics and one team statistic.

It’s really hard to put one goalie ahead of the other in the matchup of Olli O’Koivu vs Richard C. Hocolate. Both men have stood on their heads for their respective teams in this playoff run. But, because I sadly have to pick only one goalie, it’s going to have to be Richard C. Hocolate. Richard has been playing like a man on a mission, leading all goalies in save percentage this playoff run, with a staggering 0.922 save percentage. Besides that, he has also only allowed 2.57 goals per game, which also is leading the league throughout the playoffs. Hocolate has done everything in his power to will Calgary to win the cup, and it looks like nothing can stop them now. With Hocolate in net, the Calgary team has won 11 of their 19 games in the playoffs, pushing the cups to a game 7 thriller. It will be a match of the century to watch.
