Task 5 (4TPE):
2. Honestly, this is a tough question. Both sets of managers really are excellent and have seen a ton of success. JR95 and Wongy have led the Platoon to numerous challenge cups over the past few seasons, while Esa and c00kies have I believe 5 challenge cups to their name. I don't think either side has any particular advantage on the tactical side. I'm going with a draw.
5.Major surprise. Esa is a fantastic general manager and has run an excellent franchise in his tenure and myself, like everyone else, didn't expect them to be out of contention for long. But I wasn't expecting them to be back in the playoffs this fast, let alone making a run all the way to the finals. Pretty impressive, but still a major candidate for regression next season.
7. No surprise. Although they have some regressing forwards, I think West Kendall missing the playoffs altogether last season was a complete fluke. Many of their players had excellent seasons, things just didn't click as a team. I was fully expecting them back in the playoffs this season, and when they added Berezin, Bennett, and Woodcroft, I knew full well they were going to make a deep, deep run this year.
8. Throughout the playoffs Kata Vilde has been the more impressive goaltender. I think you can largely say without much trouble that he is the main reason Calgary has made it to the finals. But if we are asking who is more likely to carry their team to victory in the finals, I think you have to go with Biscuit. He has a far better team in front of him and is therefor more likely to put up better numbers, and he is no slouch if you don't consider the team in front of him either.

Task 7 (3TPE): Now, I'm not musically inclined so I probably haven't made the best choices to sing the national anthem, but whatever! As long as the fans have a good time, right?
For West Kendall, I've recently seen some Jamaican vibes going on over there, mostly stemming from an alleged vacation visit by their goaltender Bojo Biscuit. So who other than to sing the anthem but the man himself, Bob Marley? Yes, I know he's dead. But it's 2019, we can figure something out. Either recreate a robotic cyborg version of him, or just get an LED projection of him singing the anthem, easy peasy, mon.
For Calgary, I've decided to opt out of traditional musicians. Honestly, I'm pretty sure this guy doesn't really know anything about music at all. But Calgary has a major appreciation for food, so who other to sing the anthem than GUY FUCKING FIERI. I am 100% positive he would do a masterful job. He would walk out there swinging a chicken parm above his head, enthusiastically belt the anthem out, and then immediately crush the chicken parm into his mouth and devour it. And what other way to get the Dragons and their fans pumped up than that?

Task 9 (3TPE): In my opinion, there are 3 heavyweight teams that did not make the finals this year that you could consider for most disappointing. One is the Buffalo Stampede, but I would quickly rule them out as they lost in the Conference Finals in 7 games to the team that went on to win the cup. That leaves Edmonton and New Orleans, who are both similarly stacked teams, and they both lost in only the second round, the first round they both played in. I think I would have to consider New Orleans the most disappointing though. They are a stacked team that made the finals just last season and were expected to go on another long run, but they ended up losing in the second round to the Texas Renegades, a team who has struggled to find much success over the last handful of seasons. This, on top of the fact that New Orleans has a regressing defensive corps equals a pretty upsetting early exit. They definitely wanted to take another shot at winning this year before they find themselves scrambling to plug defensive holes while their offense is at it's peak, with guys like Joe Kurcewski and Roman Augustus still on the team.

Task 11 (3TPE): For West Kendall, although they don't have any major holes, the biggest area that could use improvement is at defense, since they are already insanely deep at forward and have a top goaltender in Bojo. In which case, I think the best defenseman they could select from one of the teams they've defeated would be Tatu Maakela. Adding Maakela would give them two #1 defensemen, Maakela and Ludwig Koch Schroder. They could either stack the top pair or switch them up and have one of them out there for almost three quarters of the game.

In Calgary's case, obviously they are still growing as a team so they could add pretty well anywhere in their lineup outside of goaltender, where they have Vilde. But I would again opt for a defensemen as the talent drops off a bit after Driftwood. In which case, on pure talent, you have to elect for Brady McIntyre from the Blizzard. He would help give the one-two defensive punch to counter West Kendall's addition of Maakela.
