. Robbed: Write about why a team that failed to make the playoffs should have over somebody else.
They’ve been the topic of conversation multiple times for this specific task. Yes, it’s the Hawks. Once again, the Baltimore based team just missed the playoffs despite looking strong for a good part of the season, floundering late and letting the reigning NSFC champion Wraiths back into the playoff hunt. The Wraiths looked horrible at points this season, and at their lowest they were 1 point away from losing to the team that used to be in Las Vegas, the New Orleans Second Line. While the team is trending in the right direction, the Wraiths should have never tied the game with the Second Line, and it showed that they at times seemed to either be underperforming or they were overrated. They eventually found their way and were able to beat out the Hawks, who just struggled to close out the deal, they couldn’t find that last win they needed to cement their playoff berth and it came back to haunt them, as they let the Wraiths back into it and were faced with having to beat the Liberty or the Wraiths to get in. The Hawks were a curious case last season, dropping both games to the Outlaws, Wraiths, and Sabercats, but taking a game from the Otters and Liberty, they seemed like they were on the fast track to the number 1 NSFC seed, but instead they dropped 3 of their last 4 games and narrowly missed out on the playoffs as a tie eventually kept them out of the playoffs.

Hate the player or the game: Tell us which team made the playoffs and shouldn't have, or which team didn't and should have?
I talked about it in the Robbed task, and I’ll mention it again here. The Wraiths should not have made the playoffs and they were frankly the 3rd best team in the NSFC this season. They started 2-1, dropping the first game of the season to the Liberty, and then beating the Yeti in Colorado and beating the Hawks at home. The team was looking good and they were looking like they would be a force in the playoff race, even if their loss was a bit concerning as they dropped the game at home. Then they started to drop games, they tied the Second Line in week 4, going to 2-1-1, and then lost 3 straight games and it was looking dire at 2-4-1. The team was struggling, and they had just had an embarrassing stretch, and they were looking to right the ship and that’s exactly what they did. Even with the stretch they had, going 5-2 over the last 7 games, they were still relying on the Hawks or Liberty to start slowing down, and that didn’t look like it was going to happen. The fact was that they were not in control of their destiny, hoping for a miracle, and that’s exactly what they got when the Hawks started to see their season go the same path as season 4 did.

Sit-down with a star:Interview a player from a team that is not your own that is in the playoffs. You must ask them four questions and at least three must relate to the league in some way. YOU MUST POST THE QUESTIONS AND THEIR ANSWERS FOR CREDIT.
Interview was done with @Bzerkap
1. The Wraiths surprised a lot of people this season, and not all of it was for the right reasons. We saw the Wraiths underperform for most of the season and barely make it to the playoffs. Were there struggles among the team when you all were floundering, or did you keep your hopes up that you’d right the ship?
Yea it wasn’t the season we expected but we can’t complain too much I mean we did make the playoffs. That was the goal. Another Ultimus berth is what we really wanted but, can’t complain about the playoffs. We had a chance and failed. On to next year. This year though we really wanted to try and prove the validity of the mobile QB and our inexperience with it really affected us. The rest of the guys knew this so the credit goes to them. They didn’t freak out, didn’t complain. We all kept our chins up and we were rewarded in the end. A good seasons all things considered.
2. With Jarden retiring, and Kennedy taking a step back this past season, are you worried about your options to throw to with only Bailey Cook as a reliable target this season?
No definitely not. We are always looking for talent to help us, whether in FA, the draft or already in house. We have identified some key guys and as just happened, traded for Boss Tweed. We really think we can excel with the pieces we have on offense. Tweed, Kennedy, McPoyal are all superstars that will help us get back to that S4 form.
3. If you could have any player on your team currently in the NSFL, who would it be?
Well we got one of our guys in Tweed. So other than him I would say Dan Miller. We have a weakness at DT overall so he would fit right in and having another NOLA boy would really be fun.
4. I imagine there isn’t much to do in Yellowknife during the offseason, what’s your favorite offseason destination?
I’m not one for vacation. I’m more of a family man at heart. I like to go home to Minnesota in the offseason and go hunting with my brothers, visiting the extended family and just kicking back. It’s nice to get away from the bright lights of Yellowknife (437 words in total)
