S41 Championship Week

Registered S52 Challenge Cup Champion
TASK ONE
This is a tough decision. Neither team has won the Challenge Cup in a long time, and if I were inclined to pick based on who hasn't won it longer, I would go for the Platoon, who have not won the Cup since Season 7 compared to the Los Angeles Panthers' shorter drought since Season 17. However, I have more personal connections to the LA Panthers through Jean-Luc Reflieux, who has been a wonderful alumni presence in my time in the minors with Halifax, among others who I will probably forget to name. For that reason, I am rooting for the Panthers to win the Challenge Cup, though with the bonus, you'll notice I'm hedging my bets. The Panthers have also had recent and recent enough success to make the Challenge Cup Finals, yet not capture the title. The last time they made this stage, in Season 39, it had been 15 seasons since their last conference title. With a group that took a season off to rebuild and recuperate from the loss of their cornerstone goaltender, Timo Haas, and has since passed the torch on to other leaders, it's wonderful to see a lot of them get this new chance at the Cup. TASK TWO Who is your choice for the unsung hero of the S41 playoffs up to this point? Must be at least 150 words and include at least two statistics in support. The LA Panthers' new rookie forward, Joshua Woodcroft, has been quite impressive so far these playoffs. Other teammates on his line, Wachter and Reflieux, have garnered more accolades as the Panthers' powerful one-two on the second line, though Woodcroft has put up in his own right. With 5 goals and 5 assists for 10 points in 14 playoff games, including one game-winning goal, he's benefited from his more decorated line-mates and benefited them in return, as well. His 17.86% shooting so far these playoffs is second on the team to Yuri Boyka, Jr., the club's scoring leader this postseason. His +8 mark shows he's helped the team plenty with his presence on the ice during full-strength minutes, as well. I look for him to continue at least supporting Wachter and Reflieux in the second line. West Kendall's defensive play will have a lot to answer for in the coming series against such depth. TASK FOUR Sent over PM TASK SIX For the Panthers, especially with the eagle mascot the Platoon have going, I envision the mood setting with some intense drum rhythms as LA has their mascot imitating a real-life panther on the prowl. They bring out a ridiculous caricature costume that looks like it could pass for a chicken to really stick it to West Kendall and make it seem like they are vulnerable prey all the more. On the jumbotron, they show past matchups which ended in their favor. The Panthers' journey through the Edmonton Blizzard, and though somewhat frosty, come out on the other side victorious and with wolf pelts in hand. Next, they tame the skies, having a seat in an anti-aircraft cannon and going to town before the Jets blow out of the sky and a lonely pilot can be seen as a silhouette in the light of the explosion of his plane. The Panther mascot seems confused. "This is it? This is who they sent as the final challenge? To be quite frank, the other two were a lot more formidable. They send wolves, snow storms, fighter jets and stealth bombers after me...and now, instead of an equal predator, they send prey?" The Panther then plucks the eagle/chicken head off and lets it drop to the ground, cleverly hiding the wearer's head to not give away the staffer inside. "I suppose we'll just have to drink chicken blood from the Cup, then. What do you think, LA!?" The fans blow up in cheers as the stage is almost set for the teams to enter the ice. TASK NINE Sent over PM BONUS: Alex Light scores the Cup winner |
