6. Written, 3 TPE, Curse (150 words min.)

We’ve heard of the “President’s Trophy Curse” in which the top team of the regular season has a very hard time closing the deal in the playoffs and often ends up losing. If you could invent a curse and attach it to any other league event– what would it be and why? No Challenge Cup winner shall ever repeat? Anyone who wins the goal scoring title is doomed to 4% shooting next season? Get creative and give your curse a fun name!

I will call this the First Overall curse key, or FOCK for short. If you get drafted first overall, or have a team that has a first overall draft pick within it, you will not get to win the cup. The curse forbids it. Your team gets FOCKed. This seems to be true, judging from my anecdotal experience sample of one (me, to be exact) and I definitely hope that my next player is not going to be picked first overall as so far it has affected my player’s point production as well. He was always a mediocre point getter, middle of the road type that doesn’t do very much on the ice, and did not deserve to be picked first overall. I think this curse is why I haven’t done very well in either the SHL or the IIHF, and only managed to win one Four Star Cup with what was an arguably stacked team. 156 words

7. Milestones, up to 3 TPE

Milestones are folded in with CW. So just link your Milestone claim as task 7 for up to 3 TPE towards your 16 total.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your CW submission. This is done because the person who grades CW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.

16. Written, 2 TPE, Top Line (100 words min.)

Create the best line you can using real life or SHL hockey players from your player’s home country. Give me 3F, 2D and a G– and a short description of why you chose who you did!

As I am a Canucks fan, I would have to bring back the Sedin twins, Henrik and Daniel, to lead this super Sweden team. On the other wing I would add in Henrik Zetterberg, and then in the defense side of things, I would bring back Senators-era Erik Karlsson paired with Alex Edler. In goal, who else would you have but King Henrik Lundqvist. Not the greatest ever ratio of Henriks with only three, but you could argue that this super line would be incredible against any other country’s super line, and has a lot of firepower as well as hockey smarts. 102 words

18. Written, 2 TPE - The Procrastinator Special! (100 words min.)

Congratulations, procrastinator!  Through your terrible time management skills, you’ve unlocked a special task! [TEAM] has won it all! Were the playoffs as you expected this year, or were there some surprises? Did anything stand out to you about this season’s final series? Did the engine switch make a difference for you?

The fact that two new teams made it to the final was a nice surprise, and I am glad that we have a new cup winner. Two expansion teams from the same expansion playing each other in the finals? Are you sure the script writers didn’t have an extra toke or two while writing this season’s script? FHM 8 has a weird display, I don’t quite like the way the games are shown as it makes me dizzy, but maybe the lack of testing or maybe the promised parity made this post season a bit more exciting than prior years. 100 words

22. Written / Graphic, 3 TPE, Animal Rescue (150 words min.)

Your player has been asked to use some of their immense pro-athlete wealth to open up an animal rescue! Lucky for you, the type of animal was not specified, so it’s your call! What kind of animal does your player want to protect and why? Is it something you find cute? Something that actually needs help? Or do you just want a herd of llamas on hand to threaten your enemies with? As a graphic task, show me your player hard at work tending to whatever animals you’ve chosen.

I love dogs, and therefore by extension Magnus does too! I would totally create an animal rescue society dedicated to helping dogs that are abandoned by their owners, and works to find them new, more suitable homes. I see a lot of posts that people get dogs during COVID, and now that COVID is done, and the people are getting busier, they no longer have time or want these pets and they end up abandoned. Also, I think the rescue society would hold a dog therapy session or something at the local children’s hospital where sick children can have some time with a loving doggo friend who is there to give them unconditional love to cheer them up. This will give both the kids and dogs social interaction that can brighten their day and possibly connect the dogs to new owners who can bring them home! Also, onion ninjas are everywhere and I am now crying. 156 words
