Task 1 (3TPE)

Although knocked out early, just like my current team; the Grizzlies, I would have to say I would probably be playing for the Vancouver Whalers as they were the team I played for during my previous player’s J career. I still snoop around their LR every once in a while and have a quick chat. With regard to impact, Manny didn’t make too much of a splash on Great Falls as it is (on a team, which performed better overall this year, if only slightly). Still, I think I would’ve been a positive impact maybe helping them to get a game or two more in the season and perhaps a couple of points in the postseason. The cup? No, no I wouldn’t have changed their chances at all, they were up against a virtually insurmountable obstacle in Newfoundland, Manny can’t change that. Beyond that, Vancouver had a rough season and probably shouldn’t have been in the playoffs in the first place if not for the structure of the J (don’t hate me Whalers, GFG is in the same situation), and Manny, while a decent player, isn’t a miracle worker.

Task 8 (3TPE)

Manny’s first season in the J. Not the most notable or illustrious of seasons, not even a particularly notable first season. The totals are pretty mundane only 24 points from 66 regular-season games, of which 5 are goals. An ATOI of 17:03 and a final game rating of 55. Did I meet expectations for the season? Well, I didn’t really set out too many goals for myself but I am happy that I exceeded the 20-point mark and was primarily a playmaker. Also, I will reach 300 TPE before or during week 1 of season 66, if all goes to plan, will hit the cap not too far into season 2 of Manny’s career. All this to say, I think I will expect to see an improvement in output from Manny as Great Falls progresses as well. The plan is first to pour some more TPE into various offensive attributes before splashing a few remaining updates into physicals and one or two defensive attributes before what I hope to be a significant amount of season 2 being dedicated to banking (due to cap restrictions). In the immediate future though, I am really excited for the draft, I don’t have particularly high expectations but I’m pumped nonetheless.

Task 10 (3TPE)

An early out this season, Great Falls actually had a surprisingly decent showing in the regular season. With only 4-6 active players throughout the season, and after trading away two of our most effective, highest TPE players (Shylo Moxii, and Ezra Wong), we still managed a respectable 46 points, good enough for 11th place in the overall standings. Next season will likely be better but probably not by too great a margin, it really depends on the outcome of our draft and waiver pickups in the early portions of 66. Not to mention we are moving to a new sim. Regardless, the next few years in Great Falls are hopeful, I don’t necessarily expect a cup or even a top 4 finish during my time with the Grizzlies in the coming seasons but I do believe we will become a better team and make significant strides toward competing in the playoffs, maybe I can leave the team in a good spot where they can challenge for the cup on the backs of talented younger players. I’m getting a little ahead of myself though. The few of us who are consistently active in the LR have been prepping for 66 since early 65 when it was clear we were in for a losing year, and with a few max earners in myself and Towne (who I believe is top of the draft class) I think we just need a few more pieces from this draft to be a fun and exciting team.

Task 11 (3TPE)

Well, seeing as Manny made an agreement with the gods of the underworld that forbids him from spending any time in the land of the living not related to hockey, he has been in the ninth underworld since his team bowed out of the postseason a week or two ago. There Manny has been doing what he always had prior to his return to Hockey, reading, drawing, meeting dead friends, et cetera. However, this break from the land of the living is the longest he has been subjected to since the beginning of the season and he finds himself missing his teammates and the ice dearly. Good news for Manny, time passes faster in the ninth underworld as compared to time on earth so he only has 4 days until he is allowed to attend the SHL draft for the upcoming season. For which, Manny has no expectations, will he go early, or late? Who will take him? It’s all up in the air, to be honest. Manny secretly hopes he will be a late pick so that he can spend more time amongst the living, the bread in the land of the dead is so much worse than it is on Earth. He really misses the bread.
