4. Written, 3 TPE, Dream Series (150 words min.)

Many teams have rivals they'd love to trounce in a playoff series. Maybe you as a player have another specific player you'd love to beat to win the cup and lord it over them for the rest of their lives. Tell me who you'd love to play in a playoff series and why! Why would you love to beat this team or player? What would it mean to you or your team? Keep it friendly.

The easy answer to this question is anyone but Chicago. Because of the stupidity of the playoff seeding, the New Orleans Specters have played Chicago in the first round each of the last four seasons and it’s getting real old… Since this is a question about my dream series though, I’ll spare you the rant. If I had to pick one team to play in a playoff series, it would probably be the Hamilton Steelhawks. When I first started in the SHL, the Steelhawks were the most talked about team and also on most people’s shit list for one reason or another. Hamilton was also home to some legendary players. Players I would be honored to have Atticus Hale’s name mentioned in the same sentence as. Those are a couple reasons I’d like to face and beat the Steelhawks. The biggest reason though is that the Hamilton Steelhawks are in the Eastern Conference meaning if the New Orleans Specters were to face them, it would be in the finals. To beat them would be huge - the Specters’ second cup in history and also a feather in the cap of the loyal and amazing players I’ve had the honor of sharing the locker room with. [204 words]

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

Congratulations, procrastinator!  Through my most gracious scheduling error, you’ve won a special task! [TEAM] has won it all! Were the playoffs as you expected this year, or were there some surprises? Who were you hoping would take it - Winnipeg's redemption tour or the fresh-faced Wolfpack? What did you like or not like about this season?

There were definitely surprises in the playoffs this season, but for the most part, I think it went mostly as people would have expected. Unfortunately, the New Orleans Specters lost to the Chicago Syndicate in the first round. Other than that though, my Western Conference predictions were spot on. On the Eastern Conference side, the obvious surprise was the New England Wolfpack. Not only did they take out the top two seeds, but they won every series in seven games, including the finals over Winnipeg. Speaking of Winnipeg - it was another surprisingly disappointing season. While it might be deemed a successful season for most teams, Winnipeg has had the highest average TPE for forwards, defensemen, and goalies for multiple seasons now and still can’t win the cup with a stacked team. That window is starting to close now. [138 words]
