TASK 1: (Written, 3 TPE)
For most players season 46 is over and you have had a bit of time to reflect on your season. Talk to us about how you did.. what were some of your players best and worst moments? what were your overall numbers? did you meet your individual goals? what areas in your game were you happy with and what areas fell short? Must be 150 words or more.

Harvey Danger's first two seasons in the SHL, he finished with 14 points each. His last two seasons, he finished the season with 21 points each. It was an extremely disappointing season for both the Texas Renegades and Harvey himself. The Renegades should have at least made the playoffs, but they were expected to be in championship contendership. Danger vastly improved his offensive game behind the scenes, but it did not translate on the ice. Some good things did happen to him though. He won his first fight and got kicked out of his first game, so that was cool. Danger had the most blocked shots on the team, so his defensive game is still strong. But after all that, the worst moment of his season was losing to god damn San Francisco in the last game of the season to lose out on the playoffs. His golf game is strong though. (152)

Task 3: (Written, up to 5 TPE)
Pick up to 5 challenge cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth '1' TPE. Each answer must be 50 words or more.

1. Between Buffalo's (WannabeFinn, Tomen) and New Orleans (JKortesi81, TheDangaZone) which set of GM's have the tactical/managerial advantage in this series and why?

Buffalo's WannabeFinn and Tomen have the tactical and managerial advantage in this series because they had to actually build their team so they have the experience. New Orlean's two had to work a little hard in free agency, but they had to pick guys off of a list and were practically gifted a solid team, which isn't their fault, it's just how it is. (64)

3. Between both rosters, create an all Challenge Cup starting lineup! (D, D, F, F, F, G) and in 50 words or more explain alittle about your selections.

F - Oisin Fletcher - NOR
F - TJ Bayley - BUF
F - Kevin Hamilton - BUF
D - Alexis Metzler - BUF
D - Karl Hefeweizen - NOR
G - Cedric Robinson - BUF

Basically just picked the players who have performed the best. Future HOF Fletcher should be there, but two of the more underrated players like Bayley and Hamilton are having career playoff years. Cedric Robinson is in line to be the Playoffs MVP if Buffalo can pull off the huge win. (50)

5. You have been asked by the league to choose a destination for next seasons all star game and its between New Orleans and Buffalo, which city did you decide should get this important league event and why?

Is this a joke? Obviously, everybody knows that New Orleans is a party city and everybody seems to love that place. So I choose Buffalo because Buffalo is a place where we can hold an outdoors game with the snow falling, taking us back to the old school Might be something to think about for S50. (56)

7. Who has been there teams surprise player/unsung hero in the post season and why?..must include at least 1 stat to back up claim.

Cedric Robinson has been Buffalo's unsung hero and surprise player in the post season. Sure, he had a solid season, but his playoffs have been out of this world. Through the first 2 rounds of the playoffs, he sits with 2 shutouts, a 0.925 SV% and a 2.07 GAA. He still couldn't get himself a first star though, which is crazy. (61)

Task 9: (Written, 3 TPE)
You have been asked to spend a few minutes on air with the series commentators during the game 1 preshow! During that segment they ask you to do a full break down on the series... in 150 words or more tell them who you believe is the favorite and who is the underdog of this series and why. as well as your thoughts on what each team needs to do or not do to win the challenge cup.

To be fair, I have not been following the series so I don't know what's going on right now. I would think that the Buffalo Stampede are the underdogs, only because New Orleans are the team run by a couple of former league guys who some think may or may not have tampered players to get them to come to the Specters. They are a team with a bunch of players who spurned other teams to come play in New Orleans which gives them a bit of a heel vibe. Buffalo is a team who haven't had much success recently, but I do not think that the league would hate seeing them win one, especially against New Orleans. What does Buffalo need to do to win? They need rookie goaltender Cedric Robinson to continue standing on his head. They also need McZehrl to do something. Contribute somehow. What New Orleans needs to do? Roman Augustus needs to step up. After only 3 goals and 4 points through the first two series, they will need him to score if they want to win. (182)

Task 13: (Written, 3 TPE)
This is an historic finals as both franchises come in with some amazing storylines to boast! Write a TV ad for a "History Will Be Made" script and in 150 words or more add the details and circumstance that warrant either or both teams for this television ad. details could include a memory from there team's history, whether recent or past, it is up to you.

For New Orleans "History Will Be Made", it is just going to be the full video of the Expansion Draft, but only Chicago's picks and the reaction from everybody else. "You chose who?" Then it would just be screenshots of discord conversations of them maybe or maybe not tampering players.

For Buffalo's "History Will Be Made", it would just be Chris McZehrl complaining about stuff. Then, after we get a 30 minute commercial about him complaining about stuff, the second half of that is Chris McZehrl ratting out over people for stuff that really doesn't concern him.

Both of these "History Will Be Made" commercials are denied by TV producers because of how controversial they are, so they end up just going with the goaltenders for both teams being the hero for their teams and the big surprise of the series. Maybe there is also a big hug between Joe and TDZ as it fades to black or something stupid. (160)
