3. Written, 3 TPE, Chemistry Lesson (150 words min.)

Tell me about who your linemates were this year, and how the season went playing together. Why do you work well together? Why don't you work well together? If there was anyone on your team you don't play with but you'd like to, who is it? Why? If you're a goalie, tell me about your bond with your goaltending partner!

My linemate for this was once again Jay O'Neil, a fellow S62 draftee. We are well familiar with each other, as we've been a defensive pairing for the Winnipeg Aurora for the entirety of our careers. We have always worked well together, as Jay is a defensive minded guy, while I like to look for more offense. We've been getting better and better as a pair, over our careers, and this season it was really strong. The coaching staff trusted us both enough now, I was really able to let loose, managed to tie for the lead in points among defensemen. I never abandoned defense completely, but I knew I could always take some extra risks, jump in the play a little more, because Jay was always a rock on defense. He's a really smart player and he can read me really well, so I always have full trust in him knowing he'll be there to back me up. And I try to do the same for him. (168 words)

6. Written, 2 TPE, Haiku Highlights  (5 words min.)

Rather than giving you a task where you do something boring like "write about your season" using things like "sentences and punctuation" I figured I could instead ask you to write a haiku about how your season went! A haiku is a three line poem where the first line is five syllables, the second is seven, and the third line is five again.

Kinsinger score many points

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? Is it exciting to have two completely new teams meet in the finals? What did you like or not like about this season?

Well, I could say they certainly didn't go as I'd HOPED. I think as far as the Western Conference goes, things were mostly as expected. New Orleans and Chicago were close during the regular season, so maybe you expect Chicago to win those, but it was a 7 game tight series. Edmonton blowing out Calgary in a sweep is certainly the only standout there. NOLA put Winnipeg in a bit of a closer series than expected I think, but the better team still won in 7. Winnipeg and Seattle were the best 2 teams in the league all season, so no surprise there it went to a game 7 showdown. The East was a lot crazier. Though NEW had the upper hand in the standings, I think many expected Buffalo to still win that series, and definitely no on expected them to get swept. NEW surprised again taking down Montreal, the #1 team in the East during the season. Philly and Atlanta were real close, though I think most would have given Atlanta the expected edge based on recent history. Philly and NEW should have been a lot closer than it was, but I think either team could have reasonably be expected to win it. Philly winning the Cup I think is the big surprise of the season, and is probably up there with Edmonton taking out Calgary as far as least expected things of the playoffs. (237 words)
