Task 1. 3 TPE
In an alternate reality there's only one team that makes the finals, and they have to play themselves. Which is pretty hard task considering the league constantly makes trades that gives them a shit tonne of edges.
It's the Buffalo Stampede vs the Buffalo stampede, As game 7 approaches after the 6 first games went to 10x over times. Hippo Passamuss squares off with Hippo Passamuss for the puck drop in the first period. Immediately Poopity Scoop lays him out, on his ass he can se a line brawl starting when Poopity Scoop punches Poopity Scoop.

The referee is super confused as they are both home teams and sporting the same home jersey, who instigated what? The crowd roars as their favorite player are beating up their favorite player, this alternate reality is really fucked up as you might notice.
For those watching from home the announcers yell out in hysteria. another 13 periods is played after that event and eventually Buffalo Stampede lifts the cup, for the 52nd time in SHL history.

Task 3. 2 TPE
When constructing a build for Hippo Passamus team need goes above all. Individual awards and records is great and all but Hippo will always be a team player first. So the first analysis was, what will Hippo's team mates roles look like, in which areas are we weak and where can Hippo fit. It's no surprise that one of the weaker areas for Buffalo is the goal tending. In STSH one could pass as a goalie at 700 TPE. Not so much now.
That is why Hippo is going to be a really strong two way forward with defense focus. I'm going to make sure Doyle and Robinson doesn't get shots coming their way.

Task 4. 3 TPE
Hippo Passamuss are thinking about the future, now being an old man he's gained perspective. His entire persona is no longer revolving around ice hockey and making money. It's time to lay the foundation for his legacy after SHL and Buffalo Stampede.
It's been something he's contemplated for a long while, what will he really be remembered by, and who will carry on the torch in Buffalo? Not just the upcoming seasons but in the future. Hippo will likely remain in the Buffalo roster for a long while but he wants to have an heir ready for when he retires.
That's why he's plan for the entire summer is to lay with as many ladies as possible in the bowling with hoes establishment.
If he can knock up at least 100+ ladies during the summer one ought to have a kid that's a athletic freak and good with a stick.
It's the summer of no rubbers.

Task 6. 2 TPE
I am for reducing the carbon footprint. Not because Hippo particularly care. But because both Pride and Rage are boring ass franchises with no recent relevancy. It's a fluke they made it to where they are today but they generate little to no interest.
Therefor there's a new location for the finals where there's a truly spectacular crowd.
ALL of the finals games will be hosted in the Buffalo Stampede home arena. To make things even better, Buffalo and Hamilton will play each other during the period pauses. The crowd will absolutely love it and the Pride and Rage player will play in front of a respectable crowd

Task 14.1 1 TPE
I know little to nothing about Pride, I've never interacted with either of the GM's on the team.
JayWhy I've spoken to, although be it a long time ago, but Luke and I are from the same draft class and old friends. It's therefor my opinion that the Rage has the upper han as the people I know surely knows better then others.

Task 14.2 1 TPE
It's common knowledge by now that getting an all scorer line as MUCH as possible is the best possible strategy. 35-33-32 with the third line being the most stacked line is going to win games, it's a boring strategy but it works. I think everyone is going to be happy that we are moving to more diverse options

Task 14.3 1 TPE
I don't like most logos in the SHL, why you might ask? I'm a bitter old man of course. No the logos I like the best are ones that doesn't include a mascot. It's a plague in the real life SHL as well as in this SHL. Maybe peek a look at the European soccer logos for some inspiration. (Buffalo's logo is still the best out there. thanks brandon)
