Task #1
The most positive impact line for our team these playoffs is the first line of Boone, Lane, and Morris. All three are in the top ten for goals in the playoffs and continue to be a dominate force that continue to be the main scoring line for the team and a force that makes its impact felt no matter who we are performing against. Boone and Lane are also in the top ten for points per 20 minutes showing what an absolute threat and in quick order putting up massive points in a short period of time and with Boone leading the league in shooting percentage shows what a threat she is to everyone she meets on the ice. As to the worst line I would have to list the second mostly due to the fact my performance has largely been absent until the finals. I have been pulling my weight on the powerplay but if it wasn’t for Ravyn I think the line would be in more dire straits than it is. It speaks volumes that even a solid line is the one I would consider the most “detrimental.” (190 words)

Task #3
1. Detroit Falcons while it was tough we smoked them hard this playoffs so it seems silly not to want to list them at the top. Hindsight is 20/20
2. Halifax Raiders again because we actually beat them but it was a tough uphill battle it was not easy by any stretch but a W is a W. Again hindsight being 20/20.
3. Anchorage Armada would be next as we won sixty percent of the games during the regular season we played and none of those wins went to overtime or a shootout.
4. Anaheim Outlaws would be next with the same winning percentage of games as Anchorage but with one of those wins coming from a shootout makes them a much tougher opponent to predict and would put them slightly below Anchorage for wanting to face them in the finals.
5 and 6. It is a tie between Colorado and Vancouver with each netting us fifty percent of the games won during the playoffs but also each victory coming with an overtime win leading tho them both being similar with longetivity and making them equally tough opponents to face during the finals.
7. Kelowna would be next at a 40 percent win rate and all those wins coming from regulation time means it is a fairly solid though very tough and actual final that we are facing at this point. A tough opponent worthy of respect as they have shown the ability to beat us in a variety of different occasions.
8. St. Louis we only won 28 percent of our matchups and they were tough and brutal affairs. The wins came in regulation but the thrashings we took repeatedly through the seasons at 7 different matchups show that it would be a very tough matchup to win against. They simply dominated us early in the game and provided pressure constantly throughout not allowing us to get a natural pace to our offense going.
9. Lethbridge the absolute bane of our existence only winning 20 percent of the games we played and I can honestly say they are the one team I hated to see on the regular season schedule not only would I underperform but the other than the first line everyone seemed to struggle and we could never really find the breathing room we needed. It is especially damning in that the two wins we did net were early in the season and after that it was straight loss after loss. I would be lying if I didn't say I was excited to see Kelowna in the finals and not Lethbridge.

Task #4
Honestly with how well I have meshed with Montreal both on and off the ice it is hard to even contemplate playing for another team. Though if I had to take a stab at it, I would say Colorado Raptors if for no other reason that I was in discussions with Sleepy before the SMJHL draft and they showed an avid interest and that I really enjoyed talking to Sleepy as well. I could easily slot into their second line in replacement of Vorian Atreides. Just from a pure stats standpoint Vorian put up only 4 goals and 9 assists with a total of 13 points. In comparison I put up 12 goals and 12 assists with 24 points total almost double Vorian’s numbers. I also had a +/- of 11 compared to his -7. I also served two minutes less in the penalty minutes and produced 10 powerplay points in comparison to his 4 so more than double in that regard.  While one person does not a team or championship make, I do think I could have helped shore up their second line and powerplay unit in ways that the team was lacking.

Task #5
For my comparison it will be Mike Hunt of the Montreal Militia and Alexander Thorstrom of the Kelowna Knights.  Going by their regular season numbers Thorstrom did start more with 44 games in comparison to Hunt’s 39. Thorstrom has a save percentage of .883 with 2.85 GAA and 2 shutouts facing a total of 1,061 shots during the entire season. In comparison Hunt has a save percentage of .899 with 2.81 GAA and four shutouts and facing a total of 1,015 shots. Both goalies are reasonably matched with Hunt showing a much stronger showing in his 4 shutouts with less games played and still facing a very close number of shots in comparison to Thorstrom. Looking at their playoff numbers Thorstrom in 12 games has a blazing .911 save percentage with 2.25 GAA with zero shutouts and facing 304 shots. In comparison Hunt in the 11 games he played has a mind numbing .916 with 2.33 GAA and a single shutout while facing 323 shots. Hunt has shown that even when facing an overwhelming amount of shots more than Thorstrom he is up to the task and can even shutdown the opposition especially since that shutout came against Detroit of all teams.
