Task #3: 2 TPE
Let's take a moment to compare the two starting goaltenders, Cale Adumson, and Mat Smith, from a very lopsided round 2 series of the Newfoundland Berserkers versus the Quebec City Citadelles. In this series, Adumson and the Berserkers defeated the Citadelles four games to none, but the series was really closer than this, and to see this let's take a look at the goalies. Adumson is of course still playing and competing for that Four-Star Cup, and so far these playoffs he has a 10-5 record. Smith, on the other hand, is sporting a 4-6 record. Once you look past this though, things look much closer. Adumson has a .922 save percentage and 2.01 goals against average with 387 shots against, while Smith has a .920 save percentage and 2.98 goals against average with 352 shots against. Both goalies have also been pulled once, but where things really get set apart is Adumson's four shutouts, three of which came in his series against the Citadelles, to Smith's none.

Task #4: 3 TPE
When Quebec City Citadelles starting goaltender Mat Smith is not stopping pucks, his favourite place to be has become the SPA de Québec, an animal shelter in Quebec City. This is where Smith volunteers on his days off, taking the time to walk and exercise the animals, play with them, groom them, and just in general spend time with them. When asked, Smith said he does it because he is passionate about the well-being of animals, and claims he gets as much out of it as they do. This makes sense, since Mat Smith is officially a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, and so it's good for him to socialize. We went through what a day at the SPA looked like: 8 to 8:30: Breakfast. 9 to 11: Exercise, in this case a walk up and down Mont St. Anne. 11:30 to 1: Grooming and cleaning. 1:30 to 4: General play time. 4:30 to 5: Supper.

Task #5: 3 TPE
Centre: Mats Marner (NL): This shouldn't be a huge surprise. Mats Marner was absolutely dominant in the regular season, with a league-leading 32 goals and 62 points in 50 games played. He slowed down slightly in the playoffs but still Marner is a great player for any team to build around.
Left Wing: Victor Ball (MET): Victor Ball has been playing as 2nd line left winger in Maine, behind Kyle Sutton, but Ball goes on this team because he is much more of a playmaker than a goal scorer, which means that his play would compliment Mats Marner extremely well. Ball also adds grit to this line, with 42 hits in the playoffs alone.
Right Wing: Ryuuji Minamino (NL): Minamino is on this list mainly because of his insane chemistry with Mats Marner that we saw in the regular season. With Minamino and Ball's playmaking abilities, Marner's goal scoring abilities, and Ball's grit, this line would be unstoppable.
Left Defense: PBJ Souppan (NL): In the regular season, nobody ate up more minutes than Newfoundland's PBJ Souppan. He also showed his incredible offensive abilities. In the playoffs, his offense dropped a bit, but his defense became a lot stronger and took its place.
Right Defense: Valentin Kalashnikov (MET): Kalashnikov is among the best defensemen in the league defensively, and he also has decent offensive ability. He is also able to play big minutes, and would be an excellent compliment to Newfoundland's Souppan. Souppan's offensive abilities combined with Kalashnikov's defensive abilities would be reminiscent of Erik Karlsson and Marc Methot in the National Hockey League.
Goalie: Cale Adumson (NL): Maine's Leo Bloomfield is currently doing better in the playoffs, with a .930 save percentage against Newfoundland's Cale Adumson's .922, but in the regular season Adumson was much, much better. He had a .917 save percentage to Bloomfield's .902, and had a much better record at 26-8-5, including 6 shutouts, compared to Bloomfield's 18-17-3, with only 2 shutouts. And speaking of shutouts, Adumson currently has 4 in these playoffs while Bloomfield only has 1.

Task #7: 2 TPE
I enjoyed this new format, I have no point of reference to other formats since I wasn't around for any others but I liked this one. Every team being in the playoffs was good because long offseasons are no fun, and the main reason to join a simulation hockey league is to have fun. Having every team in the playoffs also allows for upsets like Quebec over Anaheim in round 1, which just makes things more interesting. The bye system was interesting since it ended up being the #5 seed that had the bye instead of the #4 seed, so I would maybe make it the top two teams in each conference instead of the top team in each division. The conference finals also being #1 versus #2 and #4 versus #6 was strange, and so maybe something should be changed there. All in all though I enjoyed these playoffs and wouldn't complain too much if the format remained the same.

Task #8: 3 TPE
Overall I'd say this season went pretty well. I'd split it up in three sections, the first being the first three quarters of the regular season, which were good, the last quarter of the regular season, which was awful, and the playoffs, which were amazing. Before the start of the season, I set goals for myself, and I ended up meeting just one out of three of them. I wanted to have a save percentage above .900, which I got with a .905; I wanted to have a goals against average below 3.50, which I missed with 3.91; and I wanted a shutout which I didn't get. Missing the GAA goal can be blamed on the last quarter of the season that I mentioned earlier, as I was well below 3.50 before I started to fall apart at this point (I was also sitting around a .916 save percentage). Now the playoffs were great because this is when I cemented myself as starting goaltender, and I also was able to help my team win a series. Unfortunately in the 2nd round we got swept by the Berserkers, but I was happy with my performance, as I got a .920 save percentage and 2.98 goals against average. (Anyone can read more about how my season went here)

Task #9: 2 TPE
A group of vikings would beat a bunch of lumberjacks in a fight pretty easily. Vikings are trained warriors, complete with weapons and armour including helmets with horns on them (I know real vikings never actually wore helmets with horns on them but it's still bad ass). On the other hand, lumberjacks, while strong from cutting down trees, are just your average people with woodcutting axes, plaid jackets, and beards. I'd also argue that the vikings' beard game would be much stronger. I will say that I think the strongest and best lumberjack could probably beat the weakest and worst viking, but with an average one from each side, it would be no contest for the viking.

Task #10: 3 TPE
For season 56, the Quebec City Citadelles will have much to look forward to. Most players on the team were drafted into the SMJHL in season 55, so the TPE gains this offseason will be great and by the midpoint of next season, the Citadelles should be a team of mostly 350-capped players. The Citadelles will be losing one major thing that will hurt their team greatly, star centre Alexander Roach, but the player progression from the rest of the team should make up for this loss as they try to build on their successes from season 55. By the time season 57 rolls around, Quebec City will have become an absolutely dominant force, with no important pieces being lost at the end of season 56. Most of the team at this point should be getting close to their 425 cap, which means that almost all of the Citadelles roster will be made up of star players. One way to look at this team is that season 55 was an earthquake which will cause waves in season 56 and a tsunami in season 57.

Task #11: 3 TPE
This offseason, Mat Smith will be busy spending time working on his attributes, such as his blocker side, glove side, positioning, rebound control, recovery, low shots, and of course reflexes. He will be looking to come back next season stronger than ever so that he can achieve the new goals he's set for next season: A save percentage above .910, goals against average below 3.50, and at least one shutout. He's also gonna be playing for team British Islands in the World Juniors so look out for him there. In real life, I'm starting the first of three semesters of university after spending the last three years in college for marketing. The end goal here will be to get my honours bachelor of commerce, with a focus on marketing. If any SHL GMs are reading this, this won't really affect how active I am here too much, you should definitely draft me.

Task #12: 3 TPE
No matter where I (Mat Smith) go in the season 55 SHL entry draft, I want to be seen as a draft steal. This is often the case with young goaltenders, as seen by National Hockey League legends Dominik Hasek going in the 10th round in 1983, Henrik Lundqvist going in the 8th round in 2000, and Pekka Rinne going in the 8th round in 2004. The list goes on but I'll stop at 3. I want to be seen as this type of goalie that comes out of seemingly nowhere and takes the league by storm. My account being created during this season will also probably make me go a little bit later, since I won't have quite as much TPE as someone who made their player a couple weeks earlier, or the reputation of someone who's been around for years and has gone through the careers of other players. To whichever team that drafts me though, I will be able to add a solid presence in nets though, especially in a few seasons once I am a little bit more developed, and I can be active in a locker room.

Task #13A: 1 TPE
Coolest name in the series has to be Berserkers' backup goaltender Júnior Guarda. He is only barely part of the series, playing less than a minute in relief of starter Cale Adumson, and allowing a goal on his only shot against for a save percentage of 0 and a nearly incalculable goals against average, but "Júnior Guarda" literally translates to "Junior Keeper," which is exactly what he is for Newfoundland. His name will be even better in a few seasons too if he's able to become a starter.
Word count: 88

Task #13B: 1 TPE
I'd give the edge to Leo Bloomfield for MVP, as he has the highest save percentage of any goaltender with over 3 games played in the playoffs, with .930. Adumson comes close with a .922, and a better goals against average, with his 2.01 to Bloomfield's 2.50, but goals against average is more of a team stat. Another point in Bloomfield's favour comes from the fact that he has played 22 games in the playoffs and has never been pulled, while Adumson has played 15 and has been pulled once.
Word count: 90

Task #13C: 1 TPE
For Carolina to get past Newfoundland, they would have had to figure out how to get under Cale Adumson's skin, since they did well to limit the chances of star players like Mats Marner, they just couldn't figure out how to get the puck past Adumson as much as they needed. For Kelowna to get past Maine, they would have had to figure out why Leo Bloomfield is playing so much better in the playoffs, what made him play poorly in the regular season, and use this to score at a higher volume.

Task #13D: 1 TPE
The key to Newfoundland's success this season was absolutely centreman Mats Marner. He was an incredible goal scorer with a league leading 32 goals, and proved to be a non-one-dimensional player with 30 assists on top of that, to also lead the league in points with 62. The key to Maine's success this season was their role players, as they had people like Valentin Kalashnikov who wasn't afraid to drop the gloves, and rivaled Quebec's Boris Petrov for best enforcer in the league.

Task #14: 3 TPE
The Newfoundland Berserkers have won the Four-Star Cup, let's go back and take a look at what went right for them. First off, they changed up their lines, which was a risk, and sacrificed explosive star power for more depth. In the regular season, centre Mats Marner and right winger Ryuuji Minamino were Newfoundland's top scorers, and there was a significant drop off after that, but after shuffling the lines, the Berserkers found that their regular season depth pieces such as left winger Steve Harrington, right winger Andrei Kostitsyn, and centre Guy LeGrand led their team in scoring. Next, goaltending remaining consistent through the playoffs was a huge factor in their victory, as Cale Adumson was able to top a .917 save percentage and 2.06 goals against average from the regular season with a .924 save percentage and 2.01 goals against average in the playoffs. Finally, the playoff format helped the Berserkers as they started off with a relatively easy matchup against the Quebec City Citadelles, which boosted everyone's confidence moving into their round 2 matchup against the #2 seeded Carolina Kraken. This was enough momentum to get past the Kraken in 7 games, which also boosted the Berserkers' confidence moving into the finals.
