Task #1 - [Written Option] Which line combination is making/has made the biggest positive impact in for your team in the playoffs? Which is making/has made the biggest negative impact? Why? Requirements: Must include at least 150 words. [Graphics Option] Create an infographic comparing your team's best line combo vs the worst line combo. Requirements: Must include at least 3 stats.
As a member of the St. Louis Scarecrows, there is one clear and obvious answer as to which line made the biggest impact in the playoffs, and thats the Crows top line of Muller, Kandinsky, and Blackwood. This line was dominant in the regular season, with Muller likely taking home his second mvp award in two years, and Kandinsky and Blackwood averaging almost a point a game. This line continued their strong play, putting up a combined 30 points in the crows short playoff run, while being a -3 and playing more than 20 minutes a game. The worst line was the Crows third line of Hernadivic, Strudwick, and Dangelchek. These guys only had 8 points, were a -2, and overall were outplayed in each series. This line couldn't respond after a poor regular season, and should've maybe played less to minimize their impact. Continued development from Strudwick and Dangelchek would help Hernadivic and the team out next season for sure (160ish words). Task #2 - [Written Option] Create a Top 5 list of something to do with the playoffs (eg. top 5 weirdest things that have been poured into the Four Star Cup after a win, top 5 hilarious tweets during a certain game, top 5 goals your player scored, top 5 mascots you wish the two finals teams had instead of the current mascots, etc.) Requirements: No specific word count, but each item in your list should be more than just one word. [Graphics Option] Create a graphics version of your list. Top 5 Countries the Cup Will Visit 5. USA - Cup is pretty much here all the time anyways, who cares 4. Finland - Honestly, same as the USA except Finland has better vodka and less guns 3. Austria - Have you ever been to vienna? me neither but ive heard its pretty - the cup would love it 2. Poland - How many players win the cup from Poland? I got no idea but im sure its not too many 1. Ireland - You just know the party Montreal's O'Dowd will have back home in Ireland will be unmatched Task #3 - [Written Option] Rank the teams in order of who you would most want to face in Finals to who you would least want to face. Explain why. Requirements: Must include at least 150 words [Graphics Option] Create a poster advertising your team vs whoever you'd most like to face in finals. Requirements: Must include two team names, two team logos, and at least one render from each team. 7. Anaheim - They're just kind of whatever 6. Lethbridge - that logo is kinda meh and alberta is something else 5. Kelowna - knockoff london knights? no thx 4. Colorado - great color scheme but toronto already has the raptors name on lock. thank u, next. 3. vancouver - vancouver is gorgeous, but that color scheme and nickname aren't original at all 2. carolina - honestly, seeing how pumpoed the city would be playing for the cup and seeing all their faces of misery when the Crows win would be great 1. detroit - main rivals, most satisfying finals win would be against the falcons, yep theyre number 1. Task #4 - If you weren't playing for your current team, which team would you most like to be playing for in the playoffs. Explain why you chose that team and how you think you'd slot into their roster. Would your player make a big impact on the team? Would you improve their chances of winning a cup? Requirements: Must include at least 150 words. If I wasn't a third line grinder on the Crows, I think I would've liked to have been playing for Colorado. The raptors had a tough season but with Knox Booth in net, a solid capped out top line with Bo kane and others, and some good rookies, i think hernadivic would've fit in and would've been able to contribute at a much higher rate than he did with the crows. Hernadivic would've probably played on the third line with stud rookie Atreides, and I think having a similar TPE earning rookie would've helped both of us produce at a much higher rate. Also, a blue and gold color scheme is the goat color scheme, nothing looks better, so flying around in those colors would've helped big time. 140ish Task #5 - [Written Option] Highlight any goalie matchup from any series in the playoffs. Requirements: Must include at least 150 words and 3 stats, either from playoffs or the regular season. [Graphics Option] Create an infographic highlighting any goalie matchup from the playoffs. Requirements: Must include 3 stats, either from playoffs or the regular season, plus both goalie renders and both team logos. The goalie matchup I want to highlight is from the first round of the playoffs, a battle between the Anaheim Outlaws and the St. Louis Scarecrows that saw the Crows come back from a 3-2 defecit in the series, win Game 6 in overtime, and squeak out Game 7 on home ice to advance. In this series. St. Louis stated rookie goalie Shiqa Vitalievich, while Anaheim responded with cappe out veteran netminder Patrick Niederreiter. Suprisingly enough, throughout the regular season, Vitalievich actually outplayyed Niedereiter quite consistently. Shiqa had a 0.881 save percentage, and a 3.05 goals against average, ranking him 6th and 7th out of all starting goalies, whereas Niederreiter struggled to a 0.875 save percentage and a 3.15 goals against average. The first few games of the series saw Niederreiter outplay Shiqa, allowing Anaheim to take a 3-2 series lead. Through 5 games, Niederreiter had played well, winning first star of the game in game 2, where he made 38/40 saves. Shiqa responded by playing his best in elimination games, winning first star in game 6. In game 7, Shiqa again outplayed Patrick, and the crows advanced in 7 games. |
