Task #1

Killer's Top 5 Goons

1. Arthur Dayne, PGF - Seriously man, 6 games and the guy got into a fight. In an elimination game. Not the smartest move I've ever seen. He didn't even win, either.

2. Hermanis Villy, STL - How in the world do you manage 20 PIM in only 7 games? That's 10 minor penalties, most of them undisciplined slashes, crosschecks, and high sticks! Losing Game 7 probably didn't help him get any less aggressive, either.

3. Oliver Klozoff, MTL - A fight in a deciding Game 7? That's ballsy. However, you also managed 12 more PIM through your goonish behavior. I don't think you won your fight either.

4. Shoyu Kikkoman, VAN - First round bye, and you respond to that by picking up at least one minor per game, usually for high sticking or roughing. What is wrong with you?

5. Colton Hagan, COL - Yeah, cheating by putting myself on here, but 48 Hits in 17 games, and 20 PIMs? Actually not that bad, really, but took a lot of hooking penalties.

Task #2

Colton Hagan - A Season in Review

It was one heck of a season, to be sure. Starting out on a team that struggled, then started to find our stride, only to be traded to a first place team that started to struggle down the stretch, nearly missing the playoffs. Then making a run to the Four Star Cup Final, through the team that traded me, Prince George, then through the first seeded St. Louis Scarecrows, only to be swept by the second place Vancouver Whalers. It was definitely one of ups and downs. I feel like I personally started off quickly, getting some action on the power play and some even strength points to complement it. I laid down hits. Then I hit a slump, and so did my team at the time, Prince George. I asked for a trade out of the struggling team for a few reasons. I got sent to Colorado, the Mile High City. After a few games to settle in, I broke out in a big way, more than doubling what I had done in Prince George down the stretch. And then we made the playoffs, and we fought like hell, all the way to a Finals appearance, but just couldn't get it done in the end.

Task #3

Task #4

Finn Kruger, top defenseman for the Colorado Mammoths, is most deserving of the playoff MVP. I had him winning the regular season MVP as well, and his play in the playoffs continued to support that. He had 14 points in 17 games played, 17 blocked shots, and a respectable 16 hits. The point totals are the real whopper, considering that he is a defenseman, yet he was a league leader in scoring. Adding to it all of his blocks, on top of his monster work on the power play and penalty kill for the Mammoths, and he is a strong candidate for playoff MVP. His ability to eat minutes for Colorado - averaging about 24 minutes played per game. On the power play, he had 5 points for the Mammoths, and a further point shorthanded. His work at both even strength and on special teams is really incredible, and it was a driving factor in the Mammoths making the Final.

Task #5

- Mook - 07-25-2017

Task #1
Top 5 Things Thrown Onto The Ice During the Playoffs

#5 - A "Hockey for Dummies" book

We aren't exactly sure who the target of this item was, but thrown on the ice in the St.Louis Scarecrows zone during a game with the Mammoths, assumptions are all we can make.

#4 - A grilled cheese with a bite taken out of it

Welcome to Kelowna, where the arena food apparently isn't that great. With Mercer Church doing his warm-up skate, a grilled cheese ended up at his feet. He proceeded to eat the grilled cheese while looking for the generous fan

#3 - A very large pair of underwear

Later found to be XXL, light blue fruit of the loom boxer briefs, these travelling underpants were signed "To Odjick." The fan who donated them was quickly identified, hard to miss a 280 pound grown man with a sign saying "Marry Me Angelo" with no pants on

#2 - Stuffed Poop Emoji's

The final game of the 4 Star Finals, fans disappointed with Colorado's play unloaded what they could onto the ice. Fortunately the cleanup was easier than the real deal. Better luck next season Mammoths

#1 - Hopes and Dreams

Game 7, Crows vs Mammoths. At the final buzzer, 4 Mammoths fans threw several fragile Hopes and Dreams signs onto the Scarecrows ice surface. Upon their landing, they smashed into thousands of pieces. Surely the effect was intended. Causing hours of cleanup for the arena staff, the fans were quickly removed from the premises and banned from attending any future SMJHL games.


Task #2 - Either write an interview with your player about your team's playoff hopes (or if you're on an eliminated team, an interview about your team's season in review) or create a program cover for one of the games in any playoff series.
Requirements: Written - At least 200 words. Graphics - Logos of both teams in the matchup and at least one player render.

Task #3 - Write a goals highlight play by play for one series winning game, or make an infographic featuring stats from a series winning game.
Requirements: At least 250 words for written / at least 4 stats featured in at least 2 different ways for graphics (bar graphs, pie graphs, list of names, etc)

Task #4 - Unfortunately, my pick is Shoyu Kikkoman. With only 9 games played, he made the magic happen and compete with players that had over 10 games played. 15 points with 21 minutes a game. Running over a point and a half per game, Shoyu was a step above the rest in the Vancouver playoff run. While Vancouver's success can be attributed to a team effort, Shoyu Kikkoman was a vital piece, and its hard to believe they would have achieved the victory of the Four Star Cup over the Colorado Mammoths. His performance was mainly offense driven, but he definitely threw his weight around when the opportunity presented itself,and it presented itself often. Almost 2 hits average a game, he made his presence known to his opponents. While there are several strong candidates for the playoff MVP, the only one who stands clear of the rest is Shoyu Kikkoman. This blurb means nothing though, the SHL award committee always find ways to fuck things up

Task #5 - Create a 4 Star Cup Championship banner similar to the one the SHL uses at the top of the site.
Requirements: Must include a team logo and at least one player render.

Task #1 – Top 5

Tigole Bitties Top 5 Meals Before a Playoff Game
1) Spinach salad with chicken and a green smoothie. It’s healthy, high in vegetables and has the protein that comes with the chicken. It’s a good meal for lunch before a game.
2) Linguini with meat sauce and steamed vegetables. Carbo load the night before the game, and get some protein and veggies in there as well.
3) Chipotle for no other reason than taste.
4) Egg white skillet with potatoes and sausage. Load up on protein here boys!
5) Classic roast beef sandwich and paired with a long nap.

Task #2 – Season in Review Interview
[Image: 3636815000_ef6e202d5b_b.jpg]
Tigole Bitties facing questions during SMJHL Championship Week.

Interview Hi Tigole, thanks for your time today.
You’re welcome. Thanks for having me.
Interview The St. Louis Scarecrows had a tremendous season, although they fell short. What was the biggest reason you fell flat against Colorado in your eyes?
Well I think that their managers had a great system rolling and their lines clicked much better than ours did. It always helps when your goaltender goes into beast mode like Aleksandrov did in Game 7 as well.
Interview You were the first non-defenseman picked in the SMJHL Entry Draft. Were you happy with your performance this season?
Well, St. Louis is an incredibly deep team and I didn’t get as much playing time as some of my fellow draftees. With that said, I was able to lean on a bunch of experienced guys and absorbed as much about the way to carry yourself on and off the ice from them. It’s been a humbling experience, and it’s going to be tough to see them graduate to the SHL next season. That whole process is going to be bittersweet, as it’s never fun to lose teammates, but I’ll have a much larger role with St. Louis next season after my new SHL franchise sends me down.
Interview That’s all we have for today! Thank you again Tigole!
My pleasure.

Task #3 – Goals Play By Play
The puck is carried into the offensive zone by Sophia Bennett. Bennett extends the stick out to her right to keep it on the backhand and out of the defenders reach. She continues her path, deeper, behind the Mammoths goal line, and escapes the defenders behind Aleksandrov’s net. She backhands a pass back around the boards and it’s scooped up by Angelo Odjick.

Odjick receives the puck smoothly and sends the puck back up the boards and onto the stick of Hoid Wit. Wit has the puck now on the right side boards, and walks the blue line, scanning the ice for a shooting lane. Wit sees that there isn’t much going on, and passes it across to his defense partner, Isak Odegard. Odegard fires it back down the left side boards, continuing to grind and wear down the Colorado defenders.

Centerman Robert Phelps has it deep in the left corner now, and looks to force a play out front, but Finn Kruger gets a stick on the puck and deflects it back to the corner. Phelps sends the puck back over to Sophia Bennett… Bennett in the right corner fires the puck over to Odjick! Odjick tries a quick wrister on the Mammoths net, but it’s blocked right back to him. He collects it quickly and backhands the pass over to Hoid Wit.

Hoid Wit absolutely tees off a howitzer of a one-timer! Before you can blink, it’s tickled the twice over Aleksandrov’s pad, and the Whalers have done it! They’ve won the Four Star Cup in Overtime! What a comeback victory!


Task #4 – Playoff MVP
My case for Playoff MVP is no different than Regular Season MVP for this season of the SMJHL. He’s the man between Vancouver’s pipes, and is already more of a household name in the Province of British Columbia than Corey Schneider or Roberto Luongo ever were. It’s Carrick Murray. Carrick Murray guided the Whalers to an absolutely dominant SMJHL Four Star Cup run, only losing one time in their nine game run to the Cup. That’s absolutely clutch in every sense of the word.
He boasts an impressive 2.37 Goals Against Average for the playoffs, which in the SMJHL is incredibly stingy. His save percentage neared .900, which is also not bad whatsoever for a team battling for a Cup. Because of his historic run in the regular season and pairing it with his success at backstopping the Vancouver Whalers to a Four Star Cup, he’s my pick for Playoff MVP.

Task #5 – Four Star Cup Banner

- DannyMethane - 07-26-2017

Task 1

Top 5 Hits of the First Round

5. First Hit of the Playoffs

Game 3

Colorado Mammoths vs. Prince George Firebirds.

The first hit of the playoffs was a massive one. Finn Krüger was completely mollywhopped by Declan Reilly just 34 seconds into the first game of the playoffs. Finn was caught watching the puck and was completely up-ended by a huge body check from Declan that sent Krüger flying several feet horizontally before laying on the ice for a few seconds. No penalty was called on the play.

4. Name Changing Hit

Game 12

Montreal Militia vs Kelowna Knights

Luisa Koller stole our hearts with this hit against Miervaldis Fridrihs Ozolins, and no, I didn't just sneeze and hit random letters. Luisa swooped in and landed the most beautiful of all hip checks on the skater formerly known as Michael. Miervaldis flipped and landed on his back. Some say his name was changed in the process.

3. Clutch Big Hit

Game 33

St. Louis Scarecrows vs Colorado Mammoths

Four minutes and ten seconds into the very first overtime game of the playoffs, Wolf Von Hammersmark left his own hammer's mark on Finn Jakobsen, sending Finn sailing to the ice in this high-speed, open ice collision. Finn seemed a bit rattled by the hit, but apparently not too rattled, as just about 14 minutes later, Finn scored the game winning goal.

2. The Tooth Fairy

Game 28

Kelowna Knights vs Montreal Militia

Luisa Koller came out of this game with a new nickname: The Tooth Fairy.
Mike Izzy came out of this game looking like the main dragon from the movie "How to Train Your Dragon" (which does not actually cover that topic) - Toothless. A jaw shattering shoulder caught Izzy in the chest while his head was down, causing a few of his chiclets to forcibly remove themselves from the inside of his mouth.

1. Series Clinching Turn-Over

Game 41

Colorado Mammoths vs St. Louis Scarecrows

The clock reads 11:15 left in the 3rd Overtime period. Alexander Zajac sees Finn Jakobsen trying to skate the puck out of the zone instead of a break out pass and decides to go in for the check. 11:14 left. Zajac squares his shoulders. Finn, tired as can be after 5 periods of hockey, makes a mistake and keeps looking at the puck instead of where he's going. Zajac loads up. 11:13 left. The collision could be heard three states away. Finn gets flattened by Zajac's check. The puck bounces off of the boards and right back to Zajac's stick. Skating around the other forwards, he slings it on net, where it gets deflected. 10:52 remaining, the missed shot banks perfectly off of the end boards behind the net, right to Asvard Lyszczarczyk's stick and is easily deflected into the net. Finn continues to lay on the ice, both out of exhaustion and because he's unable to breath after being hit square in the chest.

Task 2

Task 3
Hoid Wit sits, exhausted, on the bench. Three periods wouldn't be enough to settle this game. Cheering his team on, Hoid yells from the bench, "Let's go boys! We got this!" His breathing has slowed back to normal levels but his heart kept pounding. One goal away from clinching the Four Star cup, Hoid, with the first goal of this game with his first shot, Hoid knew the outcome of the game was on his stick. Daedric Heikennin wins a faceoff in the neutral zone, but shortly turns it over and Vancouver heads back up the ice. Hoids legs are getting restless on the bench. The coach taps him on the shoulder, letting him know he's up next line. His teammate Emiya Shirou puts a soft shot on net and Aleksandrov, the Mammoths goalie, kicks it away, right to Whaler Brandon Gauthier who smacks it at the net, missing wide left. It rotates up the board where Emiya takes another shot, and it dies in Aleksandrov's mitt. Line changes come in. Fresh legs hit the ice, and Hoid takes his rightful place among his team. The faceoff in the offensive zone is won by Robert Phelps. The puck shuffles around a bit as Hoid creems toward the net. Sophia Bennet smacks a streamer at the goalie but it's delfected wide by Angelo Odjick. The actiony boards at the Pepsi Center in Denver bouce this deflected slapshot right back out to Aleksandrov's right, the opposite direction of his sight. Hoid noticed immediately as it bounced and began screaming as soon as that puck crossed the red line and ended up right out in front. With the smoothest of taps, Hoid notches his second goal of the game, and the last goal of the series. His signature celebration of sheathing his stick as if it were a sword was directed at the horde of oncoming Whalers rather than the crowd. Smashed up against the glass, his team ruffled his head with every new arrival. The Vancouver Whalers had just won the S35 SMJHL Four Star Cup!

Task 4
Nour Harrak, rookie in Kelowna, deserves to win MVP of the playoffs. Nour, in his first season, put up 12 points in the playoffs, averaging only 18.53 minutes per game. Despite Kelowna’s heartbreaking second round loss to the eventual champions, Nour finished in the top 10 in scoring, being one of two players outside of Vancouver and Colorado to do so. It’s hard to say what would have happened if the Knights had pulled out the victories they needed to move on. I think Nour would have been the clear and away winner if his team had made it to and won the Four Star Cup. I’m not one to diminish someone’s value because they didn’t lead the league in scoring, considering that Colorado had 5 extra games. Nour’s numbers are extremely impressive and I look forward to seeing more from this astonishing young man in the many many years to come.

Task 1:

TOP 5 PLAYOFF CELLYS

#1: Asvard Lyszczarczyk's (COL) triple OT winner in Game 7 vs the St. Louis Scarecrows. Lyszczarczyk leaps into the air and is immediately mobbed by his teammates on the ice, followed by the rest of his bench clearing and adding to the dogpile.

#2: Oliver König's (PGF) GWG against Colorado. König fires the shot in high on the Mammoth's goaltender and follows it up with a shot from his "bow," pantomiming William Tell. It was clearly an arrow that took all the air out of the Colorado team, and the Firebirds rode the shot to victory.

#3: Nour Harrak's (KEL) goal to complete the hat-trick in Game 4 against Vancouver. Green and gold hats rained from the rafters in Kelowna as he leaped into the boards and was swarmed by teammates.

#4: Tabarnak Fleur-De-Lys-LaPoutine's (COL) singular goal of the playoffs. Fleur-De-Lys-LaPoutine scores on a wicked wrister, and follows it up by pointing at his linemates that set him up.

#5: Oliver Klozoff's goal on his first shot since getting tossed in Game 5 of Montreal's series against Kelowna. Klozoff punches the air, then skates around the net and penguin dives toward center ice. Doesn't have to be classy to be memorable and gets back at the Knights that agitated him.


Task 2:

[258 words]

The following is a transcription from an interview between a Halifax beat reporter and Halifax Raider rookie defenseman, Ted Glass.

Reporter: Glass, your team was nothing short of a veritable tire fire for some stretches of the season this year. What happened?

Glass: Well, Halifax went through the beginning stages of a rebuild at the end of last season, so over half our starting roster were rookies. I think the rookies were all in different stages of development, some of them were contributing to the team as soon as they stepped on the ice, but a good amount needed some seasoning first, myself included.

Reporter: You went 1-3-4 in 30 preseason games, that does sound like a rough start. Was it chemistry with the other players on the team that was holding you back from the modest production you put up in the regular season?

Glass: Nah, I clicked with my defensive partner Cloud McCarthy within our first few shifts. In fact, we had a competition to see who could block more shots over the season, and we both ended up wildly exceeding our expectations. I ended up blocking more shots, but I think he may have edged me out in points.

Reporter: So how do you expect Halifax to do next season?

Glass: With this year's rookies all ready to contribute at a really competitive level for next season, I think we come back with a vengeance and make a real deep playoff push. I can see us holding the 4 Star Cup a year from today.



Task 4:

[169 words]

The playoff MVP is practically indisputable. Vratislav Zbyněk (COL) leads all right wings in points with 9 goals and 7 assists for 16 total points. In fact, he leads not only all right wingers, but all players in these playoffs. He's got a healthy 2 point lead on the next closest players, Finn Larsson (COL) and Teddy Kesler (COL). Zbyněk was a + 2, only had 2 minutes of penalties, and even managed to out-hit his opposition, giving 27 hits and taking only 16. His dominance shows even just in shot count, where he put 63 SOG compared to only 55 for the next closest player. He even played 416 minutes, averaging 24:30 on the ice per game... as a forward. He averaged more time on ice than any of his teammates by a good amount. His five powerplay points also lead his team, and the league as a whole. He wasn't a huge defensive contributor, but he didn't have to be with his display of power on offense.

Place holder

- Tylar - 07-27-2017

1.
Top 5 Rookies
1. Nour Harrak (KEL) – Harrak was heating up at the end of the regular season and it continued into the playoffs. The Kelowna rookie was the leading scorer for the Knights with 6 goals and 6 assists for 12 points in 14 games. He was also a plus 6 and pounded 41 shots on net.He was clutch for the Knights as well scoring 2 game winning goals. He broke out during the playoffs and will likely be a top player next year for the Knights and the league.
2 Mercer Church (KEL) – Church is another Kelowna rookie who was really impressive during the playoffs. His 5 goals and 6 assists for 11 points in 14 games was second on Kelowna in scoring.
3Miervaldis Frīdrihs Ozoliņš (KEL) - The third Kelowna Knight on the list. Ozoliņš scored 5 goals and 2 assists for 7 points in the 14 playoff games for the Knights.
4 Colton Hagan (COL)- The Colorado rookie was a physical force in the playoffs with 40 hits. His physical presence has helped Colorado go to the finals. Hagan has scored 3 goals and 4 assists for 7 points thus far in the playoffs. His team is currently in the finals.
5 Dionýz Vyskoč (PGF) - The Firebirds rookie is the last on the list with 2 goals and 7 points in 6 playoff games.

2.
As the season has gone by the Knights seemed to have struggled. What will it take to get back into the playoff picture?
Well, we have to want it. I do not think we want it one hundred percent of the time. We were only 10 points back of a playoff spot, we still had a chance to make it. Once we began to believe in ourselves we started winning some games. Then the gap began closing. We knew we had a pretty strong team but once it began to fall apart we kind of panicked.
How did it feel to actually come back from 10 points down and make the playoffs?
It was pretty special. Most around the league would have expected us to miss the playoffs but we finished the year strong. A couple of rookies carried the team on their backs near the end of the year and it continued into the playoffs. We have a good chance to go far this year but we need to use the momentum to our advantage. It was fun to send the Falcons home packing. As competitors you always want to win, so it was exciting. We are looking forward to the first round of the playoffs!

The puck has dropped on game five between Vancouver and Kelowna with Vancouver leading the series 3-1 and looking to close it out. The Knights dump the puck into the Whalers zone, and pump a shot on net, Mike Izzy lost a handle and reaches in, and gets called for hooking at :26 seconds of the 1st period which sends the Whalers to the PP!
Brandon Gauthier wins the ensuing draw and the Whalers begin to set up there powerplay, as they set up they look like they are trying to find seems in the Knights penalty kill. They get it back to Spitfire.

Spitfire shoot!

Thompson stops the initial shot, but its left in front!!

Cam Ouellette gets to it first!!!

GOOOOOOOOALLLLL Whalers up 1-0 just 52 seconds into game 5!!

Its just 6 minutes into the second period now, and the Whalers are piling pressure on.

Angelo Odjick gets a shot on net that’s blocked but Sophia Bennett gets to it……

Missed the net!!!

They work it back to Shoyu Kikkoman who shoots, and there’s a massive screen in front!!!!

GOOOOOALLLL Over Thompson’s shoulder and its 2-0 Vancouver!!!

GOOOOAL The Knights are back in this game its 2-1 for Vancouver now, as the Knights get one back near the end of the second period at 17:20.

4.
My pick for playoff MVP would be Vancouver Whalers defenseman Shoyu Kikkoman. Kikkoman was second in overall playoff scoring with 15 points in 9 games compared to the first-place finisher Colorado forward Vratislav Zbyněk who finished with 16 points in 17 games. So, in reality Kikkoman’s performance as a defenseman is way more impressive. Kikkoman’s 10 assists were also good for second in assists and the top assister played 17 games compared to Kikkoman. If Kikkoman played as many games as Colorado it would be amazing to think what his point totals would be. His performance in the playoffs as a defenseman was amazing considering the second top defenseman scorer scored 14 points in 17 games. Kikkoman deserves playoff MVP based off his performance in the playoffs. Although he wasn’t specular defensively in the hits and Shots blocked categories with 11 and 2 respectively. Kikkoman carried the Whalers to cup glory in my opinion and is the best defenseman in the league.

top 5 team mascot achievements during playoffs
5 - klint the knight
while klint wasnt active for too many games, participating in only 5 home games during this run, he pulled off a highlight during game 4 of the series vs a whalers with a record quadruple backflip off a front row fan and over the glass.

4 - milos the mammoth
milos the mammoth completed an incredible feat, breaking yuzuru hanyu's record of 330 total points with an incredible 340 points, landing the first ever recorded quadruple axel and winning the gold medal in the mascot figure skating championships.

3 - wiley the whaler
wiley the whaler pulled off a great feat of his own, breaking darryl sittler's long standing nhl record by recording an 11 point game in the stanley cup final, embarassing the predators in the 9th game of the best of 23 series, 15-0. he also made 40 saves in this game.

2 - frank the firebird
frank the firebird lit himself on fire as a protest to the corrupt mascot head office that was paying less than a dime a year to the less fortunate mascots out there. Very noble act by Frank.

1 - Scarecrow the scarecrow
Scarecrow the scarecrow defeated dennis kimmetto in a head to head foot race around the world, starting at the st.louis arch and ending there as well only 70 years later, where scarecrow's great-grandson Nicesurpriseraven managed to defeat the still alive kimmetto in a photo finish. historical achievement indeed.

task 2
Hello, i'm reporter sijanupatan vingh with the detroit daily and i'm here with star falcons rookie vijanupatan singh.

SV: so, vijanupatan, tell me about your individual performances and what you want to improve on.

VS: well, Mr. Vingh, i completed what i set out for myself, having around 0.5 points a game and setting myself up for a breakout season next year. I hope to have at least 45 points, and score a lot more than i did this season. Only 10 goals is pretty pathetic, i was hoping for 15 at the minimum, and i hope to score at least 25 this season and be among the league scoring leaders

SV: Well, that seems an unrealistic goal considering you're fijian. Maybe you should aim lower. Considering your horrible injury that took away your chance to dominate the golf courses this season, do you think gm's will be afraid of drafting you considering your unproven golfing talent?

VS: that's pretty racist dude. Regardless, i once beat tiger woods in a 1 on 1 and then he tried to tell people he won so i framed him and he didn't play golf for a couple years. I expect to not only have 50 points this season but also have at least a round of 59 as i do on the regular courses at home.

SV: It's clear you've never played golf in your life. Anyways, I am Sijanupatan Vingh for the detroit daily and i'd like to extend my thanks to vijanupatan for this interview.

Task 1: Top 5 Games of the S35 SMJHL Playoffs

#5: Colorado vs. Prince George; Game 1

The kickoff show for the SMJHL playoffs this season was a great one: where Colorado and Prince George faced off to see who would get the early advantage in their first round series. This game saw Prince George pile it on early, with goals from Declan Reilly, Smirnov Light Jr, Kristy O'Sullivan, and Xander Green within the first two periods. Everything looked lost for Colorado as Prince George took a 5-2 lead off an early third period goal from Dionyz Vyskoc, but Colorado gave us the first look at the grit and heart they had to get things done as Finn Kruger and Mark Ruggeri put the team on their back and led Colorado to a 4 goal comeback in 14 minutes; potting the game winner on the powerplay with less than 5 minutes to go.

#4: Kelowna vs. Montreal; Game 6

This game was an elimination game for Kelowna, and while their offense showed up, netting five goals throughout the game, the real story was Kelowna's goalie Sebastian Thompson. Thompson saw zero shots in the first period and must have felt frustrated with his offense as the teams entered the locker room tied at zero. After the break, that frustration mounted as Lui Koller scored on Montreal's first shot of the game at 4:52 in the 2nd period on the Montreal Powerplay. Thompson regrouped and stopped the next 22 straight shots on goal, and gave his Knights the confidence to put in four additional goals to win the game 5-1.

#3: Colorado v. St. Louis; Game 1

Colorado was predicted to lose this series hadidly to the Regular Season champs St. Louis Scarecrows, but as we saw in round 1, Colorado refused to lay over and die. After 10 hard fought minutes in the first, Colorado was able to grind out two goals from Vratislav Zbynek and Wolf Von Hammersmark; the latter coming off a strong Mammoth powerplay. Von Hammersmark wouild go on to have a dominant game, putting up two goals and an assist as Aleksandr Aleksandrov held off the onslaught and snatched victory from St. Louis.

#2: Vancouver vs. Colorado; Game 4

The final game of the playoffs saw Colorado attempting to stave off the sweep at home against Vancouver. Vancouver played strong all postseason; posting an 8-1 record to win the Four Star Cup. However, you could never underestimate this Colorado team, and this one went down to the wire. Just like Game 1, the teams were vying for position all game. In this one, Hoid Wit scored off an amazing pass from Inari Twain to get the lead seven minutes into the 1st. After disciplined action from both ends, Colorado answered with their own goal in the 2nd period from Daedric Heikennin. Colorado seemed to have the game won after a Finn Larsson goal put them up early in the 3rd, but Emiya Shiou had other plans; scoring off a one timer from a well placed pass off Indesvara Magar's stick. This one would go to overtime, as both goalies were maintaining a +9.15 save percentage. After three minutes of overtime, Hoid Wit would score for the second time and Vancouver would go on to lift the Four Star Cup.

#1: Colorado vs. St. Louis; Game 7

Nothing beats the seventh game in a hockey series, and this game might go down as one of the greatest games ever played in the SMJHL. The first period saw Colorado gain an early lead off a goal from Alexander Zajac, but St. Louis was quick to follow up on the powerplay with a goal from one of their greats, Roman Augustus. After these teams opened up the scoring, we saw MVP play from both Jimmy Wagner, and especially Aleksandr Aleksandrov. Both teams played exceptional defense throughout regulation, and Aleksandrov saw himself stopping 15 straight shots. While that is noteworthy in the juniors, Aleksandrov showed that he's ready for the SHL. Over the course of three overtimes, Aleksandrov stopped 32 shots to Wagner's 18, as St. Louis demonstrated why they ended on the top of the table during the regular season. The second overtime seemed to be the end for Colorado, as the team took two quick penalties from Creller and Uedo that almost gifted the series to St. Louis. However, Aleksandrov and the penalty killers stood strong. Finally, almost halfway through the third overtime, we got our game winner from Asvard Lyszczarczyk, sending the Mammoths to the Four Star Cup Finals. Aleksandrov finished with a .982 save percentage, and Wagner's performance wasn't enough at .939%.

TASK 2

Hello everyone, Dick Shivers here as Vancouver prepares to take on the Colorado Mammoths after receiving defeating the Kelowna Knights in five games in the second round. I've found my favorite junior, Chippy Chiclets, to talk about what he hopes happens in the finals.

Dick Shivers: Chippy, you had some strong words to give to Kelowna before your series with them, where you guaranteed a Four Star Cup finals appearance, what do you have to say now that you've finally accomplished it.

Chippy Chiclets: You know, Kelowna gave it their all, but all of us in Vancouver knew that if we played our game, we'd frustrate them over time. It shows, as we were able to get the lead early on in games, and make them take stupid penalties. In fact, it felt even better when we were able to come back against them, dashing any hopes they had. I saw them getting chippy, feeling the need to chirp us throughout the end of the series. We just shrugged it off, we're above that, you know? They have some growing up to do before they can expect to have the mental tenacity necessary to win a Four Star Cup.

DS: What do you think about your next matchup against Colorado?

CC: I wasn't expecting it. The players had been sure we'd be facing St. Louis, but Coach Phelps told us to keep an eye on Colorado. We're a bit worried, the way that Colorado seems to have come into their own during the playoffs, but we're prepared to switch a few things up and rely on what got us this far already: solid defensive play in front of Carrick Murray and an offense that gets explosive before you can react to it. I think that we are going to need to work harder than we had to against Kelowna, but it's very possible that we raise the Four Star Cup this series.

DS: Any guarantees on that, Chippy?

CC: No Dick, this team actually has a chance.

Task 3

Welcome to Game Five between the Kelowna Knights and the Vancouver Whalers! Kelowna is trying to live to skate another day, as this is an early elimination game in a hostile environment! The teams look ready to go, so we go iceside!

After Mike Izzy is called for hooking 26 seconds in, Vancouver looks to capitalize on Kelowna's aggression and set them back a few steps. Carrick Murray gathers the puck after Kelowna goes for a change, he passes to Brandon Gauthier. Gauthier gets it to Cam Oullette who finds Spitfire in the Knights zone. Spitfire drops the puck to Magar, who shifts it over to Oullette. OULLETTE SHOOTS AND SNIPES IT OVER THE SHOULDER OF THOMPSON! EARLY VANCOUVER GOAL ON THE POWERPLAY!

https://i.imgur.com/ZSQUW06.gifv

In the second period, Vancouver's defenseman stand strong again. After a great pick by Shoyu Kikkoman, Phelps gets the puck and its off to the races. Phelps back to Kikkoman, Kikkoman to Bennett. Bennett takes the shot and its DEFLECTED BY PHELPS! PHELPS GOES JUST WIDE! But Kikkoman is there to gather and he FIRES ONE QUICK! GOAL KIKKOMAN!

https://i.imgur.com/2cnRi3I.mp4

Vancouver's up 2-0, and things are coming up all Whalers. Odegard's pass get's picked off by Slaughter in the neutral zone and they're about to catch Vancouver in a bad spot. Clint Eastwood gets the pass, he looks for Owens, but it's TAKEN AWAY BY KIKKOMAN. Eastwood isn't giving up, he goes hard on the forecheck and KNOCKS KIKKOMAN BACK TO JAPAN! Sami Owens gets the puck to Doro. Nour Harrak gets the puck and shoots, BUT IT GOES WIDE! OWENS GATHERS AND KELOWNA ISN'T LOOKING TO GIVE UP, OWENS SHOOTS! BUT it's BLOCKED BY SPITFIRE! DORO HAS THE PUCK AND A WIDE OPEN NET, HE SNIPES

AND BEATS MURRAY! KELOWNA IS NOT OUT OF THIS YET!

[Image: giphy.gif]

But they were, and this game ended 2-1!

Task 4

The very clear choice for Playoff MVP has to go to Aleksandr Aleksandrov. Aleksandrov came up huge for Colorado in a number of games, including their series winner against St. Louis. Aleksandrov played nearly double the amount of minutes (1022) as any other goaltender and faced 125 more shots. After a rough start, Aleksandrov came into his own; only faultering against a tough Vancouver team. Aleksandrov gave his team a chance to win every game, and that's what you need from your goaltender if you want to have a shot at lifting the Four Star Cup. He played more than any other player in these playoffs, and showed the tenacity and grit needed from a goaltender to be the Playoff MVP. Despite a low save percentage (.884) and GAA (2.93), Aleksandrov came up big when his team called on him, and that's what makes him my Playoffs MVP in S35.

Task #1

Top Five Points per 20 Minutes after 4

1. Dani Forsberg - 2.03 p/20

Forsberg was the main threat to the SMJHL coming out of Prince George this year. Sure, give Artom Zhumbayev due credit, but Forsberg was the poster boy, having won the goal-scoring race. Forsberg would end the playoffs second in points per 20 in what very well may be his last game as a Firebird. Forsberg contributed two goals and seven assists for nine points at the end of it all.

2. Dionýz Vyskoč - 1.79 p/20

What can I say, it runs in my blood. Marek Vyskoč already had a reputation for being a playoff beast and Dionýz would see similar results as his father, except that he totally bombed in the regular season and didn't win the cup, but all's well that ends well I suppose. Two goals, five assists for seven points.

3. Xander Green - 1.31 p/20

The Firebirds' first line was red hot after four games, but it wasn't enough to hold the team off from elimination. Regardless, Green was a big part of this on the line, being the second veteran and centre. He kept on track and managed two goals and four assists for six points.

4. Elias Lindstrom - 1.24 p/20

The only non-Firebird on the list. Weird, huh? Now why would that be. I totally didn't choose the one category and period we dominated, did I? Nah, just luck. But, interestingly enough, Lindstrom was on another team that wouldn't make it out of the first round. They just don't appreciate us man. Elias would go on to get three goals and three assists for six points in a seven game series.

5. Smirnov Light Jr. - 1.24 p/20

Back to the Firebirds and my former line-mate, centering the second line is the beer. Smirnov would get the same amount of points as myself, but in more style, as he earned four of them on the power-play (which is something we really needed to work on from the regular season). Just another testament to Firebird resilience, #FirebirdStrong.


Task #2

Day 12 of the playoffs - Just after Game 23, the sixth and deciding game in the series Between the Prince George Firebirds and Colorado Mammoths

A sweaty Dionýz Vyskoč stands, and then decides to sit in his dressing cubicle after having removed his gear, prior to talking with reporters about the night's game.

"What went wrong out there" asks a locker room regular and official Firebird reporter,
"You watched the game too, why don't you answer that yourself?" Dio quips quickly,
"Alright, how about this one: 'how do you feel you did tonight?"
"I can give that one a little consideration: we were on fire, the first line that is, until the past couple games, and what you just witnessed was more of that: us falling short."
"You guys had six power-plays out there and only capitalized on one, anything you guys can come back to next year to fix that?" asks a younger looking reporter, perhaps just trying to impress
"Oh come one, most of these guys will be gone next year and we'll have fresh faces amongst us, do you think I'm really thinking how we'll grow from this next season? If I did that I'd be in an asylum already."
"I heard your father watched the series, have you guys spoken much about the playoffs and have any comparison's been made?" asks an older, sad looking fellow whom is Dio's favorite
"Oh yeah, there was a lot of joking going on between friends and family that it's in our blood. I didn't nearly get as many points nor as much success, but after all that I'm, glad the series wasn't noncompetitive. Speaking of my dad, I need to make a call, will you guys excuse me . . ."

Dio didn't actually need to make a call, he just wanted to get out of there. He usually comes up with more extravagant excuses, but tonight's a team and family night, and he has people to see and things to do before next season.

Task #3

[Image: 7v1SbI0.png]

Task #4


In the same style as I've done in my actual voting, my playoff most valuable player candidate will be the one with the most "Star of The Game Points" (100 for 1st, 10 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd) as a percentage of their team. Now, Elias Lindstrom technically had the best as percent, equaling about 50%,but I will force myself to chose from the final two teams. It was very close, but Shoyu Kikkoman just barely edged out Finn Larsson at 38.75% versus 38.5%. However, here is some more physical statistic evidence to support Shoyu: he came second in the scoring race, but had an incredible eight less games than Vratislav Zbyněk and only had one less point as a D-man! A few more accolades follow: 2nd in assists, 2nd in shooting %, top scoring defencemen and highest points per twenty minutes. Efficient, skilled, deadly. Shoyu Kikkoman is my MVP.

Task #5

[Image: bnsLy9c.jpg]

- soulja - 07-30-2017

Task 1
Top 5 playoff Rookies
1. Nour Harrak- Harrak from the Knights is arguably one of the best rookies of the S36 SHL draft. His playoff numbers are off the charts and you can say that he sprouted during these few games. The newcomer was able to slot 6 goals and 6 assists in his 12 games played. The right wing also has the best +/- in his team with 6 and also does not shy away from hits. He is also the only player on the team to have a P/20min greater than 1. He is one of the most active members on the site and sky is his limit.
2. Mercer Church- Church is another rookie from Knights and has evolved during the playoffs. He was centering the first line and was also able to put up impressive numbers for a rookie with 5 goals and 6 assists. He is one of the best centers in the draft and also has an accurate shot. Him and Nour on the same line would be deadly.
3. Dionyz Vyskoc-Vyskoc of the Firebirds only played 6 games in the playoffs but in the small duration, he was able to reveal the type of player he is. He has a great caliber as he was able to get 7 points in 6 games. His p/20min is also greater than one and also has a fairly accurate shot. He will be a key piece on the firebirds for the seasons to come.
4. Colton Hagan- Hagan is another highly touted rookie and his playoff result was satisfactory. He had 4 goals and 4 assists during the playoff run and was a hitting maniac leading the team with 48 hits. His two way game is strong and he is expected to keep playing his gritty role to tire his opponents.
5. Casey Creller- Creller is another highly touted rookie alongside Hagan who also plays for the Mammoths like Hagan. Creller plays a good two way game as a defenseman. He was able to register 7 points and 14 shots blocked. He is another rookie that is expected to go within the first round.

Task 2
The Halifax Raiders had the worst start to begin the regular season and many were saying that it is a sure fact that they will finish last in the season just like s34. When the season began, it certainly did look like a deja vu of s34 as the Raiders lost more than 70% of their games to start. This is horrible way to begin and may even be demoralizing at first. But if we look at the big picture, one can easily understand that this was greatly plausible for this team. The Raiders are a team primarily composed of Rookies. In fact they have more rookies than any other team and have minimal second years playing. Thus just by this, you can easily conclude that the team won't be doing too well as many players are going through the development phase. Our only two 2nd years were Grogan and FourFour who played well. Apart from them, the major roles were being filled by us rookies. THe Raiders have one of the most active rookies in the league and it is no surprise that they won 10 out of their last 15 games. THis is because the Raiders are very hungry in earning TPE and have potentially numerous rookies that will go in the first round of the SMJHL draft. One of them being Cody Fletcher who has immediately revealed to the SHL world what she is capable of. With the Rookies climbing the ladder so fast, s36 looks very bright for these folks and expect them to give other teams a run for their money.

Task 4
In my opinion the battle for the playoff MVP is not even close. There is one player that stood amongst the best and demonstrated why he deserves to be there more than anyone else. This is none other than Carrick Murray of the Vancouver Whalers himself. The young goaltender was able to bring the Whalers to first in their division in the regular season and this carried them well into the playoffs as well as they were able to win the 4star cup. Sure the Whalers are a stacked team and that is the only reason why Murray was so good but this does not justify the man's speed and reflexes. Murray won 8 out of the 9 games for the Whalers meaning that they only lost once which is phenomenal. Murray's regular season success followed him well into the playoffs as well as he was able to demonstrate the same quality of play. His save percentage was 0.898 and his GAA was 2.37. The defenders did do a magnificent job to assist Murray as he only faced 226 shots in total. With that said, I don't think there is any other player that deserves to win the MVP more than this monster himself.

Task 2

Barry Allen: “I’m here with Inari Twain after their win over the Colorado Mammoths for the Four Star Cup. Inari, how does this win feel?”
Inari Twain: “Amazing. I cannot describe- I cannot describe how amazing this feels.”
Allen: You had a slow start in the playoffs, there were people worried that you weren’t going to produce, and then you started to create chances that created goals, and plays that threatened the opposition. How did you stay positive until tonight?”
Twain: “I have an amazing team, we work hard every day, even when we’re in the playoffs. Cammy and Joaky kept me going, I kept feeding them, we kept trying to be a threat. If we weren’t scoring we were tiring their top guys out so we could send out Emi and Spitser. I was positive because I knew I was doing my job.”
Allen: “Tonight you started the game off with an amazing pass to Hold Wit to split the D, is that something you practiced the two of you?”
Twain: “Keeping my head up and finding a guy working hard to get open? All the time. All the credit there goes to Witters, made my job incredibly easy, anyone could’ve made that pass. He finished it.”
Allen: “One last question and I’ll let you go celebrate, SHL Draft coming up, big day for you, what are you looking forward to most now?”
Twain: “I want this feeling again, and I want it here in Vancouver. I’m very excited about the SHL, but the draft is just a step in a journey, I’m focused on working hard for this team here and celebrating the cup win with my team and the city of Vancouver.”
Allen: “Thanks so much Inari.”
Twain: “Thank you Barry.”


Task 3
Vancouver’s second line out there against Colorado’s number one, it seems like Vancouver is taking a risk that’s paid off before. This line has deserved their minutes but the combo of Hagan, Larsson and Hammersmark is not to be trifled with. Larsson has been strong on the faceoffs tonight with just over 50% of the draws going his way. Phelps has been taking a bit of a beating up against him so you’ve got to think this is all about keeping the forecheck strong.
Here we go, Phelps wins the draw with a clean push back to Odjick, Odjick skates with it, moving it across the blue line, Ødegård takes a pass from Odjick still on the point, Odjick is taking a risk and moving in towards the net forcing the Mammoths to watch down low. There’s a quick pass to Wit down the right side into the hashmarks, he holds, turns, Bennet is skating in and sure enough he sauces it tape to tape she SHOOTS ODJICK SNUCK IN OFF THE POINT BEHIND AN UNSUSPECTING DEFENSE AND DEFLECTS IT WIDE OH MY STARS.
The puck is free behind the net nobody knows where it is there’s a battle for it in the corner Odjick isn’t skating back into position, nobody realizes it’s just Øregård alone up there but wait it might not matter Hoid Wit has the puck he’s taking it in front, nobody’s ready for it he pulls back and he LIFTS THE PUCK OVER THE UNSUSPECTING SHOULDER OF ALEKSANDROV AND IT IS IN THE BACK OF THE NET HOID WIT WITH THE OVERTIME WINNER AND THE VANCOUVER WHALERS HAVE WON THE FOUR STAR CUP, THEY’VE DONE IT. THE VANCOUVER WHALERS ARE YOUR FOUR STAR CUP CHAMPIONS IN OVERTIME OF GAME FOUR. WHAT A GOAL, WHAT A PLAY, WHAT A SERIES, WHAT A GAME TO WIN IT WITH.


Task 4

Quite simply there is no other candidate for MVP than Carrick Murray, who’s legendary performance in the regular season carried over to the playoffs. Murray defended not only his team’s net, but his honor, posting a powerful 2.37 GAA against 205 shots, and a respectable .898 save percentage. Stats aside, and most importantly, when the Mammoths came out with a pressure the Whalers hadn’t faced once during the entire post-season, Carrick stood his ground and kept his team strong enough to hold on for the win. The Mammoths looked often poised to break the Vancouver shooting gallery with one of their own, but every time they’d gain possession, Murray would slow the game down long enough for the Vancouver backline to regain composure and turn the tide. If you’re looking for an MVP, look no further than the player that consistently gives his team a chance to win, none other than the legend himself, Carrick Murray.

Task 5
TBD

- Clint Eastwood - 07-31-2017

Task One - Top 5 Fan Interferences:

5 - Game 2: Kelowna vs. Montreal. In a competitive game, in the midway in the 2nd period, on a 3 on 2 rush, one of those fucking frenchies threw a plate of syrup on the ice like to goofs they are.
4 - Game 5: Kelowna vs. Montreal. In a game that got ugly, in the last few minutes of the third, these fucking frenchies AGAIN started throwing shit on the face. Poutine, popcorn, and playoff rags. How can we be surprised?
3 - Game 7: Kelowna vs. Montreal. Holy shit, this is ugly, in the last few minutes it was more of the same from game 5, except to a fuller extent. More popcorn, poutine, syrup, playoff rags, and a cut out of Mia Landvik.
2 - Game 2: Colorado vs. PGF. This game was a very close game. However in the last minute when Colorado was up 3-2, PGF fans started throwing hot dogs in the middle of play hitting Colorado players in the head. This end was chaos.
1 - Game 7: Colorado vs. St. Louis. After a fantastic game that lead to a triple OT winner. After it, St. Louis fans threw a TON of shit on the ice including bottomless buckets of shrimp. They threw haybales and scarecrows on the ice. Some fans came on to try and spoil the celebration. Crazy games.

Task Two - Clint Eastwood Player Interview

Hello Clint Eastwood, mind if I ask you a few questions?

Yup, but go for it, I need to get paid for Championship Week.

The Kelowna Knights were eliminated by the Vancouver Whalers in 5 games. What could've the Knights done better?

I mean, there's two things. We lacked good starts, and we forgot to pay the referees more than the Whalers. Almost all of our losses came because we gave up early leads in the first few minutes of the game. We spent almost all the series chasing the lead which made us handicapped the whole season. This shook our confidence and raised their confidence. Their fans went crazy and ours went dull. This had a big factor on the series as a whole. Another factor was Vancouver paying the referees. I understand they have a lot of studs, and a lot of studs means a lot of money. They had a shit ton of powerplays and we had next to none.

Anything you could've done specifically to improve your team's play?

I could've done with what I made my name around and that's increase intensity. I lacked that intensity due to a mix of a high pair of skill and lacking endurance from the Montreal series. I played my heart out for what I could handle. I like to throw a big hit to boost my team's energy, and get in the stud's faces after and during whistles.I did much less of that during the Vancouver series and should've kept doing it. I also believe I could help by increasing my offensive production, but for the most of the problem was my lack of intensity.

Task 3 - Game 7: St. Louis vs. Colorado Goals PBP

Here we go, the start of this PBP for game 7 between the Colorado Mammoths and St. Louis Scarecrows. First goal from Alexander Zajac. St. Louis is cycling around and Roman Augustus passes it to Crossfit Jesus for a one timer, and Creller with a huge block off his chest, he clears the puck and gets off the ice quickly, Chuck Goody Jr. tries to turn it up the ice, but Kapralov intercepts the pass and dumps it in. The Mammoths forecheck and then Kapralov gets it and passes it back to Ruggeri with a low shot, it goes off Garret and right to Zajac who easily puts it into the net as Wagner had no chance. Later on, St. Louis gets the puck and Roman Augustus tries to pass it and misses the pass, but it goes right to Alexander Alexandrov as he redirects it to the corner, Creller tries throw it around the boards and Rasmussen intercepts it and passes it to Langabeer with a shot, and SAVE BY ALEXANDROV, then it Langabeer chases it to the boards, and turns and whips it in front, it misses everyone bu Augustus is there and claps it and IT'S A TIED GAME. And here we are in 3rd overtime, holy shit, I'm out of coffee and this game is my new source of coffee. What a game, and how has St. Louis now won this game yet. The Mammoths pass it up to Zajac who deflects it in deep, Mammoths go hard on the forecheck, and the puck squeezes in front, and Zajac tries jamming it in, and now Kapralov now joins, he gets pummled to the ground, IT IS IN BEHIND WAGNER, HE SWEEPS IT OUT, but Asvard Lyszczarczyk throws it back in, ZAJAC TRIES, WHAT A SAVE, GOES OFF OF KAPRALOV'S LEG, WHAT A SCRAMBLE. Now, Asvard Lyszczarczyk jams at it, IT CROSSES THE GOAL LINE, THE MAMMOTHS ARE OFF TO THE MOTHERFUCKING FOUR STAR CUP.

Task 4 - League MVP - Finn Kruger

The best option for league MVP is Finn Kruger. This beautiful bastard for Colorado was riding PPG for a good chunk until everyone, but him on his team fell off the cliff into a huge ditch because they couldn't farm Halifax anymore. This man was fantastic for Colorado and was the Erik Karlsson of the SMJHL. He had 15 goals and 30 assists for 45 points as a defenseman. Carrick Murray is the only other one that could give him competition. Finn Kruger was a consistent top 2 defenseman and the best one consistently all year. He tought rookies like Casey Creller and Colton Hagan to help improve the team in he future. I've played against him before and his skill is tremendous. I may of hit him a few times, but he seemed like he could dangle in a phone booth. The man is also a gentleman off the ice as I've talked with hm before. Finn Kruger deserves to be league MVP.
