b. New England finds themselves in a similar situation to Winnipeg's last year: star winger Petr Svoboda has an absurd 30 points in 23 playoff games at the time this is posted. 18 of those are goals, 12 are assists: how do you shut this guy down?
Simply put you don’t you buckle in for the ride and hope to hell he has an injury. When a player is playing like that it is only an act of god that can truly shut him do- Oh wait New England just won. Well never mind I guess just go ahead and do that.

d. If it ain't broke don't fix it: Who you got? Who wins? Why?
I am totally behind the ball here and shame on me for it. If you asked me this before the finals I would have had it down as a slam dunk that Winnipeg was going to be a Champion again. But those plucky wolves did it didn’t they? Slow clap.

3. Written, 3 TPE, History Repeating (150 words min.)
Tell me about something good that happened in your SHL career which you hope will happen again! What is it, what will it look like? Did it happen to your current player or one of your former players? What can you do to stack the odds in your favor?

I have been so super lucky so far in my career I have had the fortune to be surrounded by a great locker room and a great mentor in Sea Jebus. With Sea Jebus now moving on up to the major leagues it is time for a new rookie goalie to come in and I get the chance to become the knowledgeable mentor to help shape and guide the new crop of goalies coming to Kelowna. Really all I can hope for is that I can be as good a mentor for those that come after me that Sea Jebus did for myself as a pup. S72 is coming and I think it is going to be a great year full of change and turn over but like every year it is completely up in the air who is going to come out ahead and win it all. Lets go Knights!!

15. Written, 3 TPE, Teams Can Be Rivers Now? (150 words min.)
Since Team Rhine is now a thing in the Juniors wing of the IIHF, name a geographical feature, such as a river, mountain, plateau, or your mother, that should be the next to have a team! Why does this feature deserve a team, like the Rhine? How good would this team be? Would you transfer to it?

Well if the Rhine can be a thing I think we should at the very least include South Pacific Nations or as I am going to call them South PaN! South PaN would include players from a number or nations including Australia, New Zealand, French Polynesian, Tonga, Samoa, Cook Island and the various other islands that make up the South Pacific ocean. While each nation maybe small putting forward their best players together could make for a formidable team. I would love to see the numerous traditions that these countries have represented within the team including the Haka, jerseys designed like tattoos, celebrating Australia’s history as a penal colony by taking an excessive amount of penalties, and maybe include the warm breezy atmosphere of Bora Bora. I think the arena would be adorned with so much culture and a unique atmosphere that it is almost a shame that no one has thought of this until this very write up!
