Task 1: (3tpe)


I’m going to have to go with building a franchise around Noah Gallagher. He’s a super promising young winger, and has quickly adjusted to the game at the SHL level. The upside of a player like this is insane and his development is set off to a great start. He has the mentors in place in order to take himself to the next level and is a hard working player who is often the last player on the ice. He has a set of skills that are already so deep and he looks to keep developing those as he clearly seems to intend to compete for the scoring title in years to say. He is someone that as he gets more experienced I expect him to be logging big minutes on the penalty kill, powerplay and your normal 5 on 5 even strength because he’s just a player that can do it all.

Task 3: (3tpe)

I’ve been ready to sit down with the boys @tweedledunn and @Grapehead through the season. It was a successful season, and I felt confident going in knowing that I had locked up a contract with the team I love for the coming few seasons.

I feel like this season was a very strong one for me as I developed my goal scoring ability and though I was unable to be at the top of the goals scored list for the league, I was in the conversation for a good chunk of the season. It was a great season for the development of my offensive skills, and I really have to thank the guys for putting me in a position to succeed with a great set of linemates.

Going into s49, I want to improve my playmaking a little and make myself a more rounded player in that sense to help the Pride pot as many goals as possible. I’m hoping to continue my role as a top line forward, though there’s always some young promising talent that could come in and make some big moves. All in all, I’m very satisfied with the season and am ready to move onto the next and try and make a deeper playoff push with the boys (213 words)

Task 5 (4tpe)

2. This series boasts an interesting matchup at the blue line between star studded defenders! Which includes Troy McClure III, Gary Grease and Slip McScruff from Winnipeg.. & Buffalo's Tatu Makela, Connor Tanner and Charles Walker.. which group do you expect will outshine the other and why?

I expect the group of Troy McClure III, Gary Grease, and Slip McScruff to really show what they’ve got in this series. We’ve got a long time veteran, and some All-Star hopefuls in this group, and as a set, they can really do everything needed to take over a series and bring home the cup. They have experience Winnings cups and will stop at nothing to bring that cup back to Winnipeg. Expect them to play a little greasy, but showcase a lot of skill as well. They’ve shown that to this point in the playoffs and I don’t expect them to stop here(104 words)

3. Winnipeg making it to the finals was an unexpected surprise. What were some of the main reasons why this franchise was able to persevere into the leagues most important series. (*tag anyone involved)

The Jets are a fantastic team who most assumed they’d be done for when they ran into the New Orleans Spectres in the Western Conference finals but they came in and showed them that they’re not going to just roll over to the favoured team. They had great goaltending out of Cedric Moreau @treant and that is just plain and simple something you need to have success in the SHL playoffs. Their defense has player huge with the combination of McClure, Grease, and McScruff putting up some impressive point totals while limited dangerous opportunities.

4. Buffalo has made it to the finals in 2 of the last 3 seasons. Who or what has been a primary reason for the recent success of this franchise. (*tag anyone involved)

I think that you gotta give a ton of props to @Tomen and our resident thunderdome superstar @WannabeFinn. They’ve managed to built a great team that’s strong front to back by drafting very well and making some good deals. They made a big deal to net themselves a number of picks, so you can expect that this trend should continue over the coming years as we see a new crop of youngsters coming in to make their mark in the SHL

5. Both franchises come into the series with a hot Cedric! Between Winnipegs Cedric Moreau and Buffallo's Cedric Robinson which emerging netminder has the advantage over the other in this series?

Cedric Moreau has been crazy so far these playoffs. Posting two shutouts and a .937 save percentage I think he is running into this series cool calm and composed. While we certainly can’t count out the regular season performance of Robinson, Moreau just seems to be firing on all cylinders and I expect him to continue this dominance and be lifting the cup over his head for his efforts.

Task 8 (3tpe)

Script

A long hard season has almost come to an end, and while both teams are battered and bruised by this point, there is still some amazing hockey left to be played. These teams will be selling out their bodies and playing through injuries unbearable to the normal human being. When all is said and done, one team will be lifting that cup above their head, having it feel lighter than air as they finally reach a moment they’ve dreamed about since they were children.

The Winnipeg Jets and Buffalo Stampede are about to get physical, fast, and into it with each other as they vie for the hardest trophy to win. Keep an eye on all-star keepers like Moreau and Robinson as they intend to duel each other and keep that puck out of the net.
Watch out folks, it’s going to be a wild series and is definitely going to be many games of unmissable hockey that will be keeping you on the edge of your seat.

Podcast choice

For maximum reach, we’re going to go with ‘Rich and Adam do a podcast’. @Rich @adamantium

This is one of the longest running podcasts in the SHL and as a result they have built up a passionate following who will eat up ads for the SHL. Combined with a segment hyping up the series from the boys, the ad will be perfectly placed to hit exactly the target market and get people ready to tune in and be sure that they’re there for puck drop
