Task #1 - Top 5 Playoff Performers

5. Dionyz Vyskoc
The Prince George Firebirds have made it into the final, though they did have some trouble in round two. Dionyz Vyskoc is a big reason that they were able to survive, scoring 3 goals and 9 total points in the 7 games of that series.

4. Connor Tanner
The Montreal Militia had a disappointing round two exit, though they'll be proud of their performance coming in as the bottom seed. Connor Tanner was an all-around producer for the Militia, with 11 points in 13 games.

3. Jack Tanner
Like his brother, Jack Tanner was a leader for the Militia. Playing lower in the line-up at times, Jack was able to expose weaknesses in other teams' depth, netting 12 points in his 13 appearances.

2. Evgueni Marmeladov
The Detroit Falcons' netminder has been nearly unbeatable in these playoffs thus far, and his .935 SV% shows it. The Falcons are a team capable of running up the score, and when Marmeladov plays like this, their games can become runaways.

1. Logan Jensen
Finally, the St. Louis Scarecrows were eliminated in the second round, but Logan Jensen really put the team on his back while they were still in contention. 12 points in 10 games has him atop the leaderboards as it stands.

Task #2 - Interview with Connor Tanner

1. Well Connor here we are, I've found this microphone laying around and the Militia have just forced a Game 7 in Prince George. How are you feeling?
"I’m feeling ecstatic, we’ve fought hard against a great Prince George team and we deserve to be here, but the next game is do or die, I can’t dwell on tonight’s victory otherwise I won’t be focused for tomorrow’s game, and that’s what is most important."

2. Fredrich Koenig has had an incredible rookie season, how concerned are you that Militia fans will forget Connor Tanner with this new star on defence?
"With an announcement coming in a few days I doubt any Militia fan will every forget the scoring prowess of Connor Tanner. I’ve been an elite player my entire stay with the team, including getting into the top 5 in a few categories during this season. My name will be around a while, I promise you that."

3. Finally, rumours are swirling that Koenig's jersey will be retired in the off-season, forcing him to wear a different sweater in S39. Is this true?
"Those rumours are false, I have heard rumours of an announcement coming in the following days after offseason begins in regards to the Tanners though."

Task #3 - MTL vs KEL Game 7



Task #4 - Playoff MVP
As of now, it is difficult to see how you could argue for anyone to win the Playoff MVP who isn’t named Evgueni Marmeladov. The MVP should go to someone who is at least playing in the finals, which eliminates Logan Jensen from our race. The Detroit Falcons’ goaltender has been as good as anyone in these playoffs thus far, and though he has only played a single round of playoff hockey, if his play continues at this level there’s little doubt he will be in contention.

Marmeladov has a shining .935 SV%, which has frustrated opposing shooters who have barely been able to get anything past him. That is by far the best save percentage of any goalie in the playoffs, and a big reason why Detroit has made it through round two and into the finals. Marmeladov also boasts a 1.74 GAA after round two, which makes him the only goaltender with a goals against average below 2.00. The opposition cannot score on this guy, and you’ve got to score to win hockey games. Marmeladov is single-handedly winning games in Detroit, and for that reason, he’s our pick for Playoff MVP.
