+3 TPE Milestones 

+3 TPE Task #1 (160 Words)

If I was not playing for the Newfoundland Berserkers, I would most likely be playing for the Colorado Raptors.   They were another team that showed serious interest in me as a player in the S61 SMJHL Draft where there seemed to be a good fit.  As an offensive defenseman, I could have taken over power play duties of the Raptors team and could have been a difference maker come playoffs as I led all Defenders in goals and points during the playoffs.  This impact in the playoffs would have been felt as the team seemed to be very close to beating Vancouver Whalers in their playoff matchup and often held leads only to lose them in very close 1 goal games.  Getting past Vancouver would have been a huge help as the Whalers went on to win the Cup, as well, Newfoundland would have also been without Rashford which could have helped them win the Finals.  Ultimately a timeline untravelled.

My Dream Team would be a very Berserker heavy roster, but since I need to include both teams, I'll add in a Whaler too.
Left Wing - Lev Lebedev - Simply put, Lev knows how to put the puck in the net.  34 Goals on the season and a beautiful plus minus ratios.  You can rely on Lev to produce offensively each and every game, no matter regular season or the playoffs.
Centre - Robert Black - There is no one in the league who puts up more points in less game time than Robert Black.  Only 2 points off the lead league while playing an entire 2 minutes less than the leader, Black is a game changer and is a must have on ANY Dream Team.
Right Wing - Evil AllBran - Another offensively gifted player, my dream team would not be complete without the Down Under Dangler.  Every team needs a bit of Australia.
Left Defense - Mikko Rashford - Duh? 
Right Defense - Saborro Toretta - All Time Leader in points by a D, yes please! 
Goalie - Evgeni Petrov - arguably the best goalie in the league, gave the Zerks every chance they could to win in the Finals.  I've got full trust in Reno!

I believe that my first season far exceeded my expectations.  In the regular season, I was able to put up respectable third pair D stats while also leading the Berserkers Powerplay as our Quarterback Defender.  In the playoffs though I absolutely exceeded expectations.  I was able to finish among the leaders in the playoffs without playing in the first round of playoffs.  Tied for first in goals while top 5 in points, I couldn't have asked for better personal stats.  On a team with 8 rookies, we were not expected to compete for a 4 Star Cup, but low and behold we made it to the finals only to be beat out by a very well deserving team.  Going into the offseason I am looking to complete my 350 TPE build which should help me round out my game to be better at both ends of the ice.  This should allow me to better perform for my team right from the get go.

In this new timeline, Colorado was able to continue to score early in games and hold onto their leads.  They have a great chance to upset the Whalers but simply could not finish each game.  In this new timeline, Quebec was finally able to get past Petrov in overtime, though the original timeline had the series close, a few early game wins in the series could have heavily shaped the outcome in their favor.  My prediction, Quebec beating Colorado in 6 games as both offensively gifted teams took turns battering the oppositions goalie each night.
