Task 1: I'm at JFK airport in New York, absolutely loaded. I was greeted by family and a few close friends, but when I got to my hometown street, I noticed a grand spectacle. There were parade floats, banners saying "I'd love to shoot my shot, McGavin", cake, bouncy castles, and hundreds of fans all around. I was overwhelmed by it, but also because of the whiskey and cocaine. I shook hands with fans, signed autographs, and hung around the barbeque for awhile. When it started getting dark, they put the projector on, showing videos and pictures of me growing up, up to when I got drafted, and even scoring big goals and winning the Cup. There was no way it could have gotten better, but there was one more surprise for me...my idol growing up. It was my father, who I hadn't seen since his accident two years ago. He was walking and smiling and was even able to give me a big hug. That topped the night off perfectly

Task 5: 3. Which player in the finals should be considered their teams playoff MVP and which should be considered their teams unsung hero thus far and why?

Unsung hero for the Dragons is Nicky Pedersen Jr., who had a decent, but pedestrian regular season, putting up 8 goals and 37 points. Pedersen turned it up in the playoffs, scoring 6 goals and 14 points in just 15 games, which was 3rd in scoring in the playoffs, but he also snuck in two game winning goals and truly stepped up when the Dragons needed him most.

Team MVP goes to Driftwood, as he carried on where he left off in the regular season, which is leading the team in points (15 in 15), but also the dependability the team has to lean on him every game and every shift, knowing something good will come when he's out there. He averaged 25 minutes a game and was used a lot during special teams and late game situations.

Task 7: For Calgary, it's a no-brainer. I would have Chuck E Cheese sing it, since we're in the big Parm and mice love cheese. I would also have little mice in the background dancing, maybe they're kids, or maybe they have gross deformities that leads to them only coming out at night or in darkness. For a big surprise (or to scare all the children attending), after the song, I would have Chuck remove his head and show the true singer...Hannah Montana...or Miley Cyrus, but we're going to try the PG version with limited twerking. Miley is a bit country, but also is a huge Dragons fan and regularly attends games, so it's a dream come true for her too.

For West Kendall Platoon, I would have a choir of a Military, put into squads to form a platoon, sing the anthem. This is symbolic and patriotic, which should get the crowd going. I would follow the ending of it with cannon balls firing and gunshots, with a bit of smoke to really encapsulate the feeling...maybe even stick Chuck E from Calgary in there to come in like a cannon ball

Task 9: I think Edmonton was the biggest disappointment. They finished 2nd in the West and had a +46 GF/GA rating, which was easily the best in the West, led by their dominance on the road, finishing with a league best 20-4-1 record away from home. Edmonton was led by their strong defense and great goaltending, allowing just 132 goals against (league best). Tommy Tuck was easily the best goalie in the season, with a .919 save percentage, 2.48GAA, and 4 shutouts, all of which are best in the league. The Blizzard have depth, with 10 players securing double digit goals, 2nd liner Pepperoni led the team in goals with 20, they had scoring from defense, as b-Mc led the team with 51 points (12 goals), and had 3 other d-men score 10+ goals. So what happened? They lost in 6 games in the semi-finals to rival Calgary, who is a young, overachieving rebuilding team...that should have been an easy series win for such a dominant Blizzard team. One big reason is that Tommy Tuck was beatable, only posting a .902 save percentage and a 2.73 GAA. Some of their scoring disappeared, as Hercules only had one assist in the 6 games, which is a far cry from his 19 goals and 47 point season. However, I think the biggest reason they lost is that they didn't respect the spunkiness of the young Dragons team, and were simply out-worked, and hard work beats skill when skill doesn't work hard. Next time they won't look too far ahead, and give teams the respect they deserve.

Task 11: The Calgary Dragons shocked the Blizzard in the Western Semi-Finals, an upset due to the talent-studded lineup. The Dragons would love to snag Brady McIntyre, the great all-around d-man that can play and thrive in any situation. Brady had 12 goals and led the Blizzard with 51 points in the regular season. Not only that, but he was magnificent at running the powerplay, scoring 7 goals and 19 points (both team leading), which means the Dragons can use him to QB the #1 unit with Driftwood, or even split the two so that each PP unit has a deadly threat from the point and a QB to run each unit. McIntyre is also a solid hitter, racking up 127 hits, which is crucial in wearing down the opponents forwards and fore-check, as well as dislodging the pick if needed. Finally, he is a baller (pucker?), who puts it all on the line, including 77 shot blocks and two game winning goals during the regular season. The versatility and experience he gives is just what a contending team needs to win it all. @caltroit_red_flames
