Task 1 – 3 TPE

Verification

Task 2 – 4 TPE

a. I am going to be bias, but I don’t think New England can do it. The team has been on an absolute heater, and there’s not much opponents have been able to do. The Panthers have gotten contributions from everyone in the lineup that matching up against us has been a nightmare. No matter who tried, the Panthers have come out on top.
b. I think you have to be aware of your opponents’ top players. Lacksamus is an incredible player, and he is definitely someone you need to try and contain. However, whether or not the Panthers can contain him is a different story. When players are playing as good as he is, it’s almost like you’ll have more success containing his surroundings than the player himself.
c. I’ll have to give it to my goalie Grzegorz. This guy has been maturing so quickly, and he has been getting better every season, and now in this run we saw the true power he possesses and how he can steal games for this team. We gave him a lot of support and the offense was clicking, but when things were tough and in moments where we were struggling in our own end, he bailed us out. Lots of respect for Karsikko, but give me Grzegorz every day.
d. Dogs vs cats, this is a very interesting debate and one that can be had for a long time. Both are incredibly strong and great hunters. Assuming no terrain advantage, I think it would be incredibly even. Panthers are bigger, but wolves possess more endurance. While both incredible hunters, I may have to side with the panther simply because of the size. Most of the other attributes are equal, so I’ll take the bigger predator.

Task 13 – 2 TPE

Well, it’s strange to write about since I’m on the team, but the Panthers won! This team has been on an absolute tear in the playoffs and to end the season, I don’t think there was any team that was going to stop us. New England is a great team, but the Panthers went 16-1-1 in the playoffs, but also went 29-1-1 (including playoffs) in our last 31 games. Not sure how we were going to be stopped when we were just clicking the way we were. Of course my favorite part of the series was being able to lift the Challenge Cup with my teammates. Getting to lift that trophy and take a lap with it was surreal, and I hope there’s more of that in the future.
