Task 1:

Kristaps Ball returned to his home town in Latvia to be honored as a home town hero for making it to the SHL and being a great player. The whole town came to the event, which was held on the main street. There was a parade with balls, cause his last name is Ball, and Kristaps got to sit on a kings throne on a parade float. Afterwards, the mayor of the town gave Kristaps the keys to the city when the parade reached the end of it's journey, which was the ice rink Kristaps grew up playing on. Kristaps also received a lot of cash, and some personal gifts from his friends from his home town. It is also believed that Minnesota Co-GM was there and gave Kristaps some big money to go to Minnesota, but that can't be confirmed. Kristaps that night got hella drunk, as he partied with the whole town. At the end of the day, Kristaps can't remember a thing he did cause he was so drunk, but he remembers he feels really honored, and that he lost the keys to the city. Oops.


1. I think this finals is going to be really competitive and a good finals. While I believe West Kendall will come out ahead, I think it goes to 7. However, someone that can help prove me wrong and make Calgary win is superstar Mike Izzy (@Mike Izzy ) and he can definitely lead Calgary to the win. But, I still think that West Kendall will win it all in the end.

2. Both teams have great managers, and I would love to be on eithers team, but I believe that WKP has a slight advantage with JR and Wongy as GMs. I say this because WKP has been to the finals a lot recently and has won it too, so these guys have experience in winning the cup and winning a lot in the playoffs.

4. Both teams have a lot of offensive talent, but I believe the difference maker will be Beaujeaux Biscuit (@.bojo ) for West Kendall. In 11 games so far, he has an absolutely insane .950 save percentage and 4 shutouts of his 8 wins, with a GAA of 1.45. If he can continue this stellar performance, West Kendall should be able to win this series.

5. This is a mild surprise for me. This is because they just entered rebuild mode, but they still have lots of great players and didn't trade away everyone. And they also have great GMs who are more than capable of pulling off moves to make a rebuilding team a contender. This team is going to be really good for a really long time, and this finals appearance is only one of many more to come to this storied franchise.

7. Again, this is a mild surprise for me. This is because they kept everyone they needed to and were able to find ways to fix the issues they had last season in their lineup. I know that their GMs are also great, and it's no surprise to me that they were able to fix their issues this quickly and put together championship caliber lines from a team that just missed the playoffs, which is why it's a mild surprise.

8. These teams both have great goalies, but I think Biscuit gets the job done here for West Kendall. He has tons of experience in the playoffs and in bringing cups to West Kendall, while Vilde is younger. However, this won't be Vilde's only shot at winning the cup, as they are a great young goalie. However, I think Biscuits experience brings them the cup.


West Kendall has the easiest job for getting someone to do their anthems. Located near Miami, the choice for them is easy: Mr. 305, Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull. He brings the Miami flare, he brings the sexy, and he brings the sunglasses. His performance starts off with him saying the first couple of worlds before saying "Mr. Worldwide from the 305" before going through the anthem in a rap style, doing some sexual movements throughout it. The nation's founding fathers are rolling in anger in their graves, but the fans love it. In Calgary, the choice for them is a lot harder. This is because who the hell is famous from Calgary? So they keep it simple. They have their whole team sing it. They do it in their jerseys and it is God awful, but the fans love it and sing along with them. The Platoon across the red line show clear hatred towards this and cover their ears as they terribly sing the national anthem.
