KevenGraphic Graders Posting Freak Code: 1. CW TRIVIA, 3 TPE max - 1.5 TPE for participation, 0.5 TPE for each correct answer. This is completed through a Google form linked below. Make sure to spell your answers correctly or you will not get credit. Post your verification word in your CW post.key Code: 2. Written, up to 4 TPE - Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.I think a full scale teardown is more impressive. This might just be coincidence, but all the expansion teams since I joined the league in S55 except MTL have won a four star or challenge cup, with MTL having recently reached their prime and will be in contention for a few more seasons to come. Other teams have rebuilt from the ground up and still haven't gotten close, so rebuilding from the ground up seems more impressive. Code: b. Winnipeg's Mikko Rashford has been an unstoppable assist machine with 25 in 20 GP. If you're looking to shut down Winnipegs offense, who do you target? Rashford, or goal scorers surrounding them? Do you double down on guarding the scorers and letting a pass-first player take a shot, or do you go heavy on the passer and hope nothing squeeks through?To stop WPG's goal scoring, you definitely have to cover Rashford and the passing lanes. Some players have the ability to create goals from any opportunity and make it incredibly easy for other players to score. As long as the goalie has a clear line of sight to the shooter then they can make a save, but if the puck comes from a pass, the goalie might not have time to react. Code: c. Philadelphia's BASE PACK has made over 500 saves in 17 GP. If you're a Winnipeg team looking for a weakness to exploit, do you think this is one? Does this signify an exhausted goalie that you can pepper with shots and eventually break the dam? Or is BASE PACK just an on-fire goalie that you need to find another way around?There could be a thousand different reasons as to why a goalie has faced so many shots and made a lot of saves. They could be on a hot streak and in the zone, or they could just be facing a ton of easy shots. WPG just has to keep playing their game and put as many high quality shots on net as they can. Code: d. As always I ask... who you got? Usually when I analyze teams for this segment I see a contrast in results or deployment or something I can latch on to, but these look like remarkably similar teams at this point in the playoffs. So who wins? Why?I think WPG is long overdue for their victory. They've been at the top of the league for a few seasons now and just haven't found that final bit of success in the playoffs. PHI hadn't even won a playoff series before this point so a full run to the cup would be a huge feat, one that won't be easy to complete against a strong WPG team Code: 7. Milestones, up to 3 TPE+3 https://simulationhockey.com/showthread....pid3331050 Code: 8. Graphic, 3 TPE, Commemorative Puckhttps://i.imgur.com/QE9a71r.jpg Code: 13. Graphic, 1 TPE, Memeing Like It's 2008https://imgflip.com/i/7dbl7y Code: 22. Written, 2 TPE, Hope and Hapiness (100 words min.)The most positive thing for me recently was completing my undergraduate degree and having a relatively short job search. After spending my entire life in school with a few years worth of road bumps along the way, it's nice to finally be done and have a job that pays me much better than anything else I've had in the past. I can finally start thinking about what I want my life to look like as an adult rather than scheduling everything around completing school. I'm hoping that the freedom of having my own stable, full-time income will help shape my life in ways that were not possible up until this point. |
