Task 1:
It was pretty fun. Nova met his fam and neighbors he grew up with in the old block. They threw a bbq party on his parents backyard and watched playoff bball. He then went out with the wife and kids and his friends to the movies to see endgame. Later that night he went out played some bball at a park with his buddies up to 21. He showed off his James Harden step back moves and dropped a triple double, finishing the game of with an alleyoop slam. It was about 2 am when his friend brought out the backwoods with the sticky icky and they got lit at the park. After a good session they got the munchies and his friends treated him to IHOP where Nova ordered 3 steaks and hot fudge on icecream and they spent the rest of the night at the beach until the sun came up. It was a perfect homecoming treat for him.

Task 05:
2. Both managers are top of the league class and are very smart when it comes to strategies. Jr95 clearly has the advantage of a much more stacked team and an elite playbook. Dragons have a good system that works in the playoffs and they may find success against fairly better teams, however.
3.Biscuit should be the MVP because of his stats. He has 4 shutouts and a ridiculous .941 sv% taking advantage of a dominant team in front of him. Platoon is so stacked that I'd have Crossfit Jesus as the unsung hero. Biscuit stole the show while Jesus's lead in points kind of went unnoticed.
4. I think the difference maker will be Sophia Bennet. After the Platoon acquired her, they have been an unbeatable force and while they do have multiple stars that can shine in any given night, Bennet is in her prime and gets to enjoy not getting double teamed like she was in LA because of opponents' emphasis on the rest of the Platoons offense.
5. No surprise. Dragons already had a brewing pipeline when they declared rebuild mode. They still had plenty of younger pieces and a Izzy in his prime seasons. With using pieces to build around him and the rise of Driftwood, Calgary isn't too far off from being feared.. especially with a veteran coaching staff.
7. No surprise. Wkp have been buying for the past few seasons and it's been working. They seem to get their money's worth through every trade and that's what set them apart from the rest of the league. They know their weakness and their window and they make up for their mistakes to make things work.
8. Tbh I think Beaujeaux Biscuit has the better chance to carry but not because hes better but since he has a stacked team. Vilde might not get the same stats as BB but Calgary will definitely have to lean on their goalie more. Biscuit has a better team around him.

Task 9:
The New Orleans Specters were the biggest disappointment because they did not return to the finals after falling 1 game short of a challenge cup last season. They just did not look like the same team they were last season in the playoffs and couldn't get the job done with the same core. I think might have had some chemistry problems but the lines weren't clicking the same way. They should have tried something different, maybe go with more stacked lines but there will probably be some change to the roster after this playoffs for them, I think this one hurt. With the way their offense is set, I think they fell short because they don't have enough stopping power on the defensive end. Specters like to push the pace alot so they need better skating defensemen that can really anchor the blue line and help the goalie out more.
