TASK ONE:

Between the West Kendall Platoon and Los Angeles Panthers and who I would rather see win, the answer is obvious, the West Kendall Platoon. First of all, the Platoon have a better General Manager in Bojo (or I guess CO-GM, but still even than they have a better Co-GM), and overall better members on their team as a whole. Secondly, I would pick the Platoon would be to see Karsten Kadinger (Allegiant) win the cup. I think he deserves the cup because he is a good friend and is also very nice. It is always nice to see your good friends win a cup. I also enjoy Mikko Luna (Ej27 aka Dr.Pooj) from my Knights days, so I would like to see her win a cup again. Third, since the Steelhawks lost to the Platoon in the Conference Finals, I would rather lose to the eventual Challenge Cup Winners than lose to someone who did not end up winning the cup. This was an easy choice for me as to who I would want to win the cup!



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 pick for unsung Hero of the S41 playoffs would be West Kendall Platoon defenseman Ludwig Koch Schroder. Schroder is obviously one of the better defenseman in the league, and is also probably the best defenseman on the Platoon, but the Platoon defense wasn’t all that high scoring these playoffs. Schroder scored 2 goals and 13 assists for 15 points in 20 games in this year’s playoffs. He also had an impressive 28 shots blocked and also had an extremely low shooting percentage of 4.88 percent, which you could argue if he had some more luck, he could’ve scored more. The Platoon defense definitely would not have been favored in their matchup against the Steelhawks who are 5 defenseman deep, but they still managed to stifle the Steelhawks offense and win the series to get to the Challenge Cup Final and Schroder played a big role in that. Schroder is my unsung hero for this season and when the Platoon win the cup, he will have played a massive role in that.

TASK SIX:
During this season's Stanley Cup finals, we saw some pretty wild pre-game ceremonies and introductions to the games. What kind of performances do you think the two teams in the Challenge Cup/Four Star Cup finals might put on before their games? In at least 150 words, describe one of the finals pre-game ceremonies and what kind of craziness you think may have occurred.
For the Platoon, an easy suggestion would be to have a cannon ball like the Columbus Blue Jackets of the NHL. This cannonball could have been apart of the in-game experience as well as the pre-game ceremony as they play out a military type scene along with American symbols. They also could have had an eagle fly in the area with a handler which would be cool. Like most arenas, light shows would also be very effective. In LA, good idea would be to do a Black Panther theme type ceremony. Have someone dressed up in a Black Panther suit and have an action-packed ceremony to hype people up. You could also do something with the California vibes and symbols like palm-trees. You could also probably get some musical artists to open up the games and preform as its in California. Another good idea would be to get a DJ to get the place going with lights and music.
