What a opportunity and what a great move from SDCore to invite a scrub like me to such an important event, I am pretty sure he hopes that I will take my HOF father Maximilian with me. He will be happy to hear that I will do that. Of course will we go to game one and two of the Challenge cup finals. There is nearly nothing better than the opening game of a final series and I don't want to go to Hamilton and give them some money, even if it's not my own money. With my father visiting a game is always great, he does know so many guys and they have a ton of great stories to share. SDCore will be allowed to come with us on a secret players party after the game. And one thing is sure, next time I don't want a VIP status for the finals, I just want to be done there and play my best hockey.

On my alternate reality we would have seen some different endings like we did in our reality. We do have seen a dominate Hamilton Steelhawks team in our, but because I am not happy with that, they wouldn't have a stand on my reality. But let's start from the beginning. Los Angeles Panthers against the Winnipeg Jets, it would have the same ending like it is here, a 4-2 series win for the Panthers, because I love them. And we would have seen the same outcome at the Tampa Bay Barracuda Buffalo Stampede game, just for the ironic that the Barracudas now 0-8 in their last 8 playoff games.
But form here on it would have changed a lot. New Orleans would have one the series against Los Angeles Panthers with a heart thrilling game 7 OT win. Calgary would have overcome Edmonton in 5 games. Buffalo would have beaten the Steelhawks in 5 games and Chicago went past Manhatten in 4 games. So we would have New Orleans against the Dragons and Buffalo against Chicago. And because I do like it, we would have a final between both expansion teams with New Orleans fighting against Chicago for the cup.

It's not so surprisingly that the coach have come to the decision to let someone play out of his position, because the Kraken offensive roster is that deep, that a lot of good talents have to play bottom 6 roles instead of top 6 minutes. One of them is Alexander Wachter, a young two way forward. The coach put him on the blue line as an offensive defender. As a two way forward he does know how to act defensively and with his offensive touch he could help the forwards on the second wave. He is a good skater and puck handler, so he could carry the puck into the offensive zone by himself too. His scoring touch and his shot could make him a force on the blue line on the power play. But he should get more strength to not get down by every hit or fight along the boards.

A lot of work will be in front of me in the offseason. My free time is almost over, because the finals are played and in a few days I will take a flight down to Texas. Probably a short talk with the GM and the coaches about what they have planned for me, one more year in the juniors or go up and play with the big guys? In any case, I will get a training plan and the goals to be achieved. After some examinations and assessment of my physical condition I will finally fly back home to Los Angeles and see my family. I am really looking forward to this, because it's a long time since I last saw my mother or my little brother. My father will try to get my work out buddy or at least will tell me that I have to do it if I want to have a long career like he had. At the end of the summer I will go back to Texas for the team training camp.

I carry the puck
And without warning he comes
To hit me away.
