So I've been chosen to go to a finals game and as a upcoming free-agent why don't i go look at a team who spoke to me a lot in my draft week. So I'm going to Edmonton! Now to which game? I think going to game 2 would be more interesting as you already know what is at stake due to the first game! Now during the game i'm buying a jersey of my friend Rhys! After that i go onto buy as many drinks i can that are bottled i mean i might as well stock up for when i'm at home. Now i'm buying food for everyone in my block as why not if i'm not paying right?

After the match i'll take myself out for a nice night out on the town and get absolutely shitfaced and make sure that i don't remember the evening as i don't want too remember that the commissioner will hate me due to how much i've ran up.



So first of all the line up is still the same. Tampa bay get through like they did already however something changes... Benjamin Blue gets injured in the first game of the second round and Emiko Spector has to start her first play-off game. In the first game she's not doing so good an she get shelled. After this match she's told that she has to play the rest of the playoffs as they're playing the goalie coach as back up.

Game 2: Honestly, it was terrifying for Emiko as she had been shelled completely for the first 2 periods but luckily the offence kept them in the game. Third period starts and she's finally gotten into her groove in the net and stops every shot in the 3rd period!

Game 3 - 6: The offensive is up and down but Emiko manages to be able to keep them in the playoffs.

Game 7: This is the game that turned the entire team around! the entire team clicked and they managed to win!

Rest of the playoffs the Barracuda ran with the momentum shift from the 2nd series and continued it to the final but lost in game 7.



For the finals Edmonton and Hamilton are working together for a charity event!

The charity event they decided to work towards is to help those suffering from mental health issues. For this they decided to raise money by having a auction of various stuff that was being used in the finals.

Firstly each players jersey was up for auction that would be sold of to try and gain money for helping them.

Next they decided to sell of equipment used by the team such as Hockey Sticks, Pads and other things. Due to Emiko Spector being up in Edmonton while this was going on she decided to auction off her goalie equipment which she used in Colorado.

After that they decided to auction off some different stuff such as a night with a player. along with other fun things like that. After the event they where able to raise roughly $97,000 for the charity with just the equipment and jersey's alone! So it was a good thing!



"Wow, everyone has become injured and they've asked me to play out of position! i'm not sure what i'm going to do as it's a totally different skill set to what i'm used too. How do they expect me to be able to transition from goal to a center." Emiko thought to herself.

Coach MCP said "Don't worry Emiko, i'm sure you can do it! I don't expect us to be able to win honestly but i just want to not forfeit a team as we've exhausted our entire minor league players and no one wants to come here due to the 'Injury Curse' we've apparently got!"

"But i can't even take a face-off why can't i just be a defender least its similar" said Emiko.

"I know but we've already got blue playing there so we can't really have 2 goalies there! You'll just have to deal with what has been put upon you! Like i said we're not expecting to win!" Explained MCP.



The main thing i am looking towards personally is testing free agency. I'm both excited and terrified to know where i end up and if i end up anywhere.

I've outlined what i would like from a new team but i'm not sure if there is a place for me but i hope that i can just get to somewhere that needs me.

After that i will be changing environments and such like that and i'm really excited!

So, now the next thing i'm honestly just excited to get started with my stint in the IIHF with team Austria! I can't wait to see how we do but i know we have a lot to do with the team and need to build slowly!

After that honestly i'll be taking some time back in Japan with my family before i go back to where i end up after free agency but that's a long time away!



Hockey is so cool
if you play it you will drool
this is a haiku

Bonus Haiku:

Emiko is tall
She stops the puck every time
Cause it hits her face
