Question 1 - 3 TPE 172 Words
I think for a rookie season Zoltan Topalo played pretty well. Tampa is still in rebuild waiting for the new draftees to come up so I played a lot of minutes on the first line. I finished the season 3 points under a .5 ppg average. With 12 goals and 10 Assists that was definitely around my expectation. Avg time on ice was 21:04 which is pretty significant. I played a lot of PP mins as well. Although only 3 of my points came from being on the PP. I think with a nice little offensive boost and some more TPE in the offseason my production will increase in the coming year which I”m excited to see. Next season I would like to see more shots on goal for Zoltan. Only 99 Shots on goal this season which is just an avg of 2 per game. With the increased number of games next season i’m sure I’ll see an increase, but we’ll have to see if its in the cards!

Look, just to build on my already amazing guide to Fantasy Drafting. Why not leave the playoffs in a coin hands. Just to myself a new mint 2020 quarter. All you have to do is FLIP the coin to determine the seedings. By coin I of course mean a twelve sided die. Each team is numbered of course. You roll the D12 and the first two numbers are the matchups. You keep going until all the teams are selected. If a teams number is rolled twice, you just skip them. After that, you go down to a six sided die and do a complete re-seed and so on and so forth. This is the recipe for success.

Question 6 - 2 TPE 120 Words
I”m honestly a little surprised here that Chicago wasn’t able to take the final game and put Buffalo on the golf course. Chicago finished the season 10 points ahead of Buffalo and they were really trucking through their playoff series. They had a great chance to win it all but it seems like Buffalo just had that fighting spirit as the underdog to mount a massive comeback. Both Westbroek and Selman had fantastic seasons and were doing the same in the playoffs. I’m very surprised that Buffalo is playing right now while Chicago isn’t. Even Goaltender Soonika in 16 games was posting a .926 SV% which is pretty incredible. Doyle right now with 4 more games played posted a .903.

Question 8 - 3 TPE - 166 words
I don’t think that the Hamilton Steelhawks really wanted this renegade selling “homemade” merchandise inside the stadium. Nobody can still figure out how the man managed to smuggle in multiple pallets of bricks with Jobin written on each face of the brick and a large capital A on the sides. GET YOUR BRICKS HERE ONLY FIVE DOLLARS! “Authenic bricks here!” “Bring home a little piece of Jobin!” “You don’t have to bring it home, just toss it through the window of your favorite buffalo fan!”. The man was out of bricks shortly after the end of the first period. Security searched for the man but could not find the mysterious vendor. After game two security was breathing a sigh of relief. Brick man didn’t even show up and the police only received 3 calls of bricks through windows at homes with Buffalo flags outside. Hamilton was forced to release a statement to their fans condemning the use of bricks. The local building industry was not enthused.

Question 13 -  three TPE earned here.

A I think just on paper its a pretty equal matchup but Hamilton has the slight advantage. I think Hamilton has the better all around team and is really balance in all of their positions. From Forwards to Defense (even with the loss of Tig) they get contributions from evey single line on the ice.

B I think that the teams definitely need to be switching up their tactics as the games go along. Its important to have more than one strategy going into a game and being able to change on the fly to another method of attack is important. Some players may work well in one role, but switching other players around can definitely have a big impact.

D.  If there was one player on either team that I would want to hang out with it would be that A. Jobin guy. Goalies are cool and he just seems like a fun dude to be around. Rumor has it this guy has lots of really cool hobbies and it would be fun to learn more about him by spending a day. THey always said “goalies are weird” and i’d like to find out how much of that is true.
