Task 1:
The Winnipeg Jets built out an extraordinary team for this season. They even managed to bring defenseman Spitfire to the team in free agency, which I believe helped them greatly for their cup run. Spitfire scored the second most point in the team as a defenseman in the playoff, only one point behind Max Weber. Unlike Weber, though, he had a game winning goal in the 12 games they had played before the finals in the playoff. Other than that, the Winnipeg Jets are just stacked. They have Pietra Volkova, Zach Evans, Kyle Kylrad, Corey Bearss and Jason Visser as their main forward core. Those are some deadly players. Three of them (Volkova, Kylrad, Bearss) have six goals in the twelve games. Visser isn’t too far behind with five. Most of this is thanks to master playmaker Zach Evans who had 10 assists since the start of the playoff. I think overall the Winnipeg Jets had a scary team and they are now flexing their muscles.

Task 3:
Oisin Fletcher had a great season, without any doubt, as he finished the season as the top pointer and the top goal scorer of the season. This is a feat in itself. Despite being overshadowed for MVP by the Toronto North Stars goaltender, I am happy of the season he had. I will probably remember especially his multipoint nights through the season. Two of them come in my mind when I mention that. The first one is the night where the Edmonton Blizzard hosted the New England Wolfpack. Against his old team, Fletcher let loose, managing to have a hat trick, and added an assists to the feast. The second night was when the Edmonton Blizzard visited the Seattle Riot. In that night, Fletcher had a goal and three apples, helping greatly to win the game. I really like this game as Oisin Fletcher managed to have a great impact on the game, having more than half the possible point he could gain on both those games.

Task 4:
Done
Task 8:
3. Between Beaujeaux Biscuit and Artom Zhumbayev which star goalie has the advantage over the other in this series?
I think Beaujeaux Biscuit have avantage over Artom Zhumbayev for this series. The simple reason is that Beaujeaux Biscuit is a hot goalie when I sim and he’s in the final. He won 2 cups already and two gold medals. I even had him begging me to never stop simming as his goaltender is successful when I preach Simon Tremblay’s will.

4. Choose 1 young player from each team (either on their roster or a prospect of theirs) who you believe will be there teams next great player and why?
I think right wing Lil’ Manius will be a force for the Winnipeg Jets in the future. He is a head above anyone else in his draft class and already show a lot of talent. On the West Kendall Platoon side, I believe that it is will be Rex Kirkby, a defenseman, that will be the corner stone of his team’s blue line in the future.

5. You want to buy tickets, hotel stay and airfair for one of the games in this series and you have to decide between a trip to West Kendall or Winnipeg. what city did you choose and why?
I would think that I would go to West Kendall to see one of the finals game. The reason is that I do not play as much the eastern conference team now and I only go in West Kendall once during the season. It would be crazy to think I would not take the opportunity to go in Florida. If I want to go to Winnipeg, I could almost walk there.
