Task 13: MAILED PT DIRECTOR (3 TPE, 6 Total) Task 1: (3 TPE, 9 Total) Task 1: Being considered a “Hometown Hero” was a very awkward scenario for Joe K. Having to go to Buffalo to be honored as the city’s favorite hockey playing son is incredibly awesome but considering that I’ve never played for the Buffalo Stampede AND I’m pretty sure they hate me, it was a little weird. I’ve been back to Buffalo a million times in my playing career, as I spent most of my offseasons there. I was being honored for my career thus far, and that was including a lot of my Team USA acheivements as well. This time, there was a little bit more heckling. It’s understandable when you consider that just last season my New Orleans Specters were beaten in Game 7 of the Challenge Cup Finals by the Stampede to give my city its first ever major sports championship. For the Buffalo fans though, its all in good fun. I’ve brought the Cup home to Buffalo with me after winning it in Calgary and Edmonton, so it was nice to see that part of the celebration were the fans showing me their cup, as opposed to me showing them mine. Great times. (193) Task 9: (3 TPE, 12 Total) The New Orleans Specters have got to be the biggest disappointment for not making it to the Challenge Cup finals. One season after losing in Game 7 of the finals, the Specters would go on to be the highest seed in the Western Conference playoffs. That would prove to not matter, as the Specters would lose to the Texas Renegades in 7 games in the conference semi-finals. Why did that happen? Texas found some luck, winning a few games that perhaps they shouldn’t have. They won twice in OT, and stole Game 1 when they were outplayed by New Orleans. It was a disappointing result for the New Orleans squad, which boasts a roster full of superstars. There wasn’t a specific reason for the loss other than some bad bounces that didn’t go the Specters’ way. They still have a very good offense, and a great goalie. The defense is still very solid, although regression is depleting that quickly. Hopefully its just a minor hiccup and not a sign of a bleak future.
