1. Ups and Downs (3 TPE, 150 words min)
It was an interesting season for Roddy B. During regular season play, his performance was well within acceptable for his role as a 3rd line PK specialist. Putting up decent numbers, and a lot of Penalty Kill time, it was a fairly good year for him. However, the post-season was an absolute disaster. After a tough 6 game series loss to the Quebec City Citadelles, Roderic Banes finished the brief post-season run with 1 point in 6 games and a -1 overall rating. Not exactly inspiring numbers, and when the Kraken needed everyone to step up in their line matchups, Roddy B fell short. Off-season adjustments will be made, and hopefully he can find some redemption in the WJC tourney. Expectations are high, and he holds himself to a higher standard than what he has shown so far. Hopefully this doesn't blunt the trajectory of Roddy's career, and he still has more to offer Carolina and Montreal.

4. A Poem (3 TPE, 60 words min)+
From scorching sandy beach
to frozen lake of ice
comes Roddy B.
His abs are tight as fuck,
his flow looks awful nice,
sweet Roddy B.
The Kraken took him in,
and showed him how to flex his heart,
Oh Roddy B,
Oh Roddy B.
From baby squidlet grown,
Vancouvers own,
that sexy dude who loves to bone:

Roddy B.

5. Playoff Format (2 TPE, 100 words minimum)
I believe the SMJHL should adopt a 10-team format, with the top 4 teams from each conference qualifying for post-season, with 2 wildcard slots based on Win Percentage, Points, and Goal Differential (tie-breakers only) advancing. This would make regular season play more competitive, since fewer teams will qualify, as well as adding an exciting element with the addition of the two wildcard slots. Obviously, my opinions are one hundred percent correct and anyone who disagrees with me on this is inherently wrong and, as the kids like to say, "can catch these motherfucking hands, boi." I will not be taking questions at this time.

16. Secret Prompt (2 TPE)
We got out to a big, fancy restaurant, somewhere they have cloth napkins. We order lobster, too much garlic bread, and big ol' steaks. After dinner, we sit and drink excessive amounts of beer while i gloatingly lay out how the heist went down. At some point you interject that you knew I was coming all along. I pause, and sip my drink. Turns out, you reveal, that I stole fake money. I'm rattled, but it's just for show. I knew you were going to swap the real cash for the fake stuff, so the REAL heist happened two days before, where we swapped out your real money for fake money. then, when you went to swap your 'real' cash for the 'fake cash,' we simply laughed, as we already had your money, but went ahead with the heist to not blow the ruse. I drop the big reveal, you're insulted, we both draw and die in the subsequent exchange of gunfire.
