TASK 1 (150+ Words, 3 TPE)
VIP status again! Woo! The comish must like me, I think I might check my house for bugs and cameras...
Anyways, I choose to go to the very first game in Tampa Bay. Not because I like Tampa Bay better than Calgary, but because I was already down in Florida with some other Specters golfing our post season blues away. Plus, I have never spectated a game from this arena, so I thought it would be cool to see it from the VIP box. The first thing you notice when you enter the arena is that every single concession stand is selling Bud Light and fried fish. I am not a Bud Light guy, but fuck it, it is all free. First order I placed was for all of section 202 to receive two drinks, except for the children of course. I ordered Hot Chocolates for all the kids in attendance, even though I had to out source it to the closest coffee shop. The game was over and I realized I did not watch a single second of it, due to me hand delivering all the hot chocolates to the children, who I could here asking for New Orleans Specter jersey's for their birthdays. That is how you win lifetime fans.  [212]




Task 2 (100+ Words, 2 TPE)
I am personally rooting for the Dragons. As young lad watching hockey I was always rooting for them. They had my favorite player of all time on their roster, Joe Kurczewski, and have been a power house team for as long as I can remember. Even though Joe has moved on and I get to personally play alongside him, I have a lot of respect for Calgary. Anyone good enough to sweep my team are good enough to win the cup. Good luck to Tampa Bay, the young core is really good and should put up a hell of a fight. (101)



Task 7 (150+ Words, 3TPE)
Being eliminated from the playoffs is getting old. I have done everything I can to be the best player I can be. While there is always something that needs to be improved, I feel like offensively I am where I need to be. The only big thing I can think of to improve is my checking game. Whether it be taking the body more or just stick checking in general. I do not take a lot of penalties and I aim to keep playing that way. As I am writing this, I realize what aspect of my game I really do need to improve on. My penalty shot skills. Hell, I would love to be the best penalty shot guy in the league, even in league history. I should really aim to be that guy. The other aspect I can think of is just being a better leader. Not by showing what I can do on the ice, but how I can inspire others to be better. I do my best to learn from everyone I see around the league. [180]



Task 12 (50+ Words Each, 1 TPE Each)
A. Each team enters these finals with a red hot superstar - longtime league legend Mike Izzy for Calgary and surprise breakout star Gunnar Soderberg for Tampa Bay. Which of these players will have a more dominant finals?
Mike Izzy one hundred percent. Izzy is having a hell of a playoff run. As of this, he has 23 points in 11 games. Like fuck that is good. He finished the regular season just over a point per game too which helps out. Soderberg is right there with him and will give him a run for his money, but Izzy is Izzy.

B. Kata Vilde and Benjamin Blue are two of the best goaltenders in the league - which team has the advantage in net?
Kata VIlde and Benjamin Blue are both really good tendies and it is hard to choose one over the other. I think I would have to side with Vilde though. They both have experience and skill to play the game well, but Vilde seems to just go that extra step to be the better of the two.

C. Do you expect this to be a high-scoring series or a low-scoring series? A mix? Do you think it'll be competitive or will one team run away with it?
It will be a mix of scoring. I think we are going to see a lot of fluke like goals and a lot of well set up plays that end with the puck behind either goalie. I like high scoring games a lot more, but when a goalie faces 40+ shots and barely lets any in, I get just as excited.

D. What's your favorite player NAME on either team? why? (note: not who's your favorite player. which player name)
To be honest, I do not think any names stands out to me as good. I mean it is interesting to see Shooter McGavin play against Shooter McGavin II, but I do not think their names are clever. Maui is pretty okay? I just do not think I can have a favorite name on either of these teams because none really standout to me. :shrug:

E. If you could choose any one of the following four options, which would you pick? 1. A chicken parm sandwich from Esa 2. A
tray of cookies from c00kies 3. A custom feet pic from JSS 4. An hour long stick and puck session with Jepox
I would have to choose a tray of cookies from c00kies. I mean they would have to be good right? If your name is c00kies and you make shit cookies, maybe you shouldn't be called c00kies. With that logic, these better be the best damn cookies I have ever had and if they are I will order a monthly supply every single month.
