Man I must be pretty liked by Head Office, I’ve had VIP status to the finals for the last like 3 or 4 seasons! Not complaining though. I gotta say, picking between going to Edmonton or Hamilton is kinda like picking between kissing your mom or your sister. Preferably I wouldn’t go to either. But I guess I’ll take Hamilton since it’s kinda close to Toronto at least. I’ll us SDCore’s big mullah to get myself one of the luxury boxes at the stadium with a private chef, have a real nice steak dinner and cheesecake for dessert. At this point I’m too old for any of the clubbing nonsense, it really just isn’t that fun anymore when you’re married and settled down, so I’ll use the money to maybe visit the Aroma luxury day spa one afternoon, and I’d also like to check out the Canadian Warplane museum as I’m a bit of a history buff and think planes are pretty damn cool.

I usually have a pretty orthodox offseason routine. After the end of the season, whether regular season or playoffs, I usually take a week or so to let my body recuperate. I like to visit some of the spa’s, especially those new floating pod things, I find they really relax my muscles and joints after a long season. After that I typically take a trip somewhere, sometimes it’s to a resort and sometimes I feel like doing some sightseeing. This year I’m heading over to New Zealand where I’ve always wanted to go. It’s a beautiful country, and as an Irishman I’ve watched a lot of rugby and played a bit as well before I became a full time hockey player, so that is a big draw for me as well. Once I return I’ll start working on my training again. As an older guy in the league you really have to start making sure you are prepared for the long season ahead as your body just isn’t in the same shape it was 5 or 10 years ago.

A. Tommy Tuck posted a better SV% during the regular season, but Geezus Kryyst has been lights out during the playoffs. Which team has the advantage in goal for this series?
I would have to give the goalie advantage to Tommy Tuck. Some may give the advantage to Kryyst as the younger goalie more in the prime of his career, but Tuck has the experience and the hardware to his name that Kryyst does not. He knows what it takes to get the job done.

B. Edmonton averages more hits per game than Hamilton, but also more PIMs - and Hamilton has proven pretty deadly on the power play this postseason while the Blizzard's PK has struggled. Be the coach: should Edmonton stick to a physical style of play or back off a bit in this series?
I think Edmonton should stay definitely try to keep some physicality, but they need to ensure they stay DISCIPLINED. Hamilton’s PP has really taken off this season due to their elite new strategy, so Edmonton needs to ensure they stay out of the box if they have any chance of bringing home the Challenge Cup.

C. Who is your X-factor skater in this series? Who's got the intangibles? Who's gonna step up for their team when it matters most? Why do you think so?
There’s a few good options here, but I have to go with Tor Tuck. He’s been one of the best D-men in the game over the past 10 seasons and will likely win the Stevens this season. He can do it all, strong defense, great offense, and super physical. He’ll need to continue being at the top of his game in order for an Edmonton win.

D. Which player name is your favorite from the rosters of these two teams? (not your favorite player, but your favorite name)
I’m not sure that I have a FAVORITE name out of these two teams, but I can tell you my LEAST favorite. It’s Akashi SixNine. That guy is a dirty rat. Every time I hear his name it pisses me off. He’s always going to the refs and the league trying to throw guys under the bus for his own benefit. What a punk.

E. WOULD YOU RATHER: (a) eat a Pepperoni pizza with Tony Pepperoni (debatably cannibalism), (b) get a nice long hug from Teddy Cuddles, © have Tor and Tommy Tuck tuck you into bed at night, (d) do squats with Hugh Jazz, (e) have a tug of war with Tig, or (f) have Aaron Wilson uncover a brand new strategy for your team to use? Why?
Kinda seems like a no brainer to me, I would definitely eat a Pepperoni pizza with Tony Pepperoni. That man surely knows a thing or two about quality Pepperoni so I’m sure he would get a real good pizza where the pepperoni quality would blow me away. I’m hoping he doesn’t consider it cannibalism as that would be pretty awkward and I really have no interest in the other options.

My MVP is not necessarily the best player on the ice in this series, or even the best of the playoffs, but someone whom without, all of this would not have been possible for Hamilton, and that is Aaron Wilson. He found and helped implement an extremely successful strategy allowing Hamilton to reach heights they hadn’t otherwise dreamed of achieving. Prior to this season Hamilton had been a dumpster fire for quite some time with seemingly no end to the rebuild in sight, but that all changed due to master tactician Aaron Wilson. It’s hard to imagine where Hamilton would be right now without your achievement (most likely on the golf course), so congratulations!
