Task #1
Barret McCarthy from the  to replace Pierre Laroche-Durocher from the  . McCarthy is a tried and true offensive defense man who can play heavy minutes and score whenever he pleases. McCarthy taking Durocher's spot on the first pairing may give Detroit the offensive they needed to win the Four Star Cup this year. He had 5 goals and 14 points and was shooting at an insane 22.73% and he was also up there in minutes played (284 one minute behind first) and shots blocked (15 two away from first) He led the Whalers in scoring (tied with Karazija). Honourable Mentions go to Tauras Karazija, as he was very close to McCarthy in my book and Borromini Cannellini, who went on a massive scoring tear and shot at 30.43%!!!!!
 
Task #2
One of my larger distinguishing qualities is that I am an under the radar guy. I am a lower profile guy with good stats to back myself up. I am great at picking up goals but I can certainly dish out assists when needed. My playoffs stats were pretty good and I was bumped up to the second line on a great team(Go Whalers!). I am an excellent locker room presence and while I may not end up being a superstar I most definitely will become a fan favourite. I'm also pretty okay with being anywhere on the lineup. I also think General Managers might like my ambition and overall willingness to be involved with the SHL. I am the guy that General Managers want on their team and I want nothing but the best for the team. Overall I am a Good locker room guy who can slot in anywhere and make a difference while not forcing our managers hand.

Task #3


Task #4
The biggest turning point in a first round series took place during game three between Halifax and Anaheim. After a close win and a close loss it seemed all but clear that this was shaping up to be an amazing playoff series. Anaheim started the game with a pair of goals within 22 seconds of each other 6 minutes into the game, giving them an early 2 goal lead. Halifax potted a goal later in the period to cut the lead in half. After a slightly uneventful second which only saw one goal being scored, a power play goal by Anaheim to make it 3-1. The third period had an early goal by Anaheim to make it 4-1 and Halifax cut their lead back to 2 but Anaheim fired back a little over a minute later and the score was 5-2. Anaheim already had some penalty troubles earlier having four penalties to Halifax's one, but this period it cost them as they were scored on during three consecutive penalty kills to bring the score to 5-5 and at this point Halifax had the momentum and were a goal away from the lead and with less than 3 minutes they got it and kept the lead to complete their epic comeback from 5-2 to winning 5-6. The Raiders would win the next two games to complete the series after showing that they would rip and tear at any lead Anaheim could put up.
