Playoff Series MVP: Choose an MVP for one of the playoff series and write about why you chose them.
In the matchup of powerhouse QBs with different flairs this was pegged to be a barn burner, and the final result did not disappoint. In a game without much defense it was one unsung hero that stepped up, as he has for his entire career, and helped the Wraiths move on for their third shot at a title. Marcus Kane was the MVP of the Hawks - Wraiths NSFC Championship Game.
The final stat-line first, 12 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and 1 sack. Playing his LB/NB hybrid position, Kane was all over the field, zipping around and shutting down the big plays, and even creating a few losses. He was a key element in limiting Owen Taylor's effectiveness on the ground as it took him 31 tries to reach 108 yards. Kane allowed a net of 37 yards on his 12 tackles, good for an average of 3.08 yards per play. He was effective from the start of the game to the end, only giving up yardage of 9 or greater twice in his twelve tackles.
This is really no surprise to the Yellowknife faithful though, as Kane has been a glue guy ever since he entered the league, performing any role needed for the team. Top ten in forced fumbles, fumbles recovered, playoff tackles, playoff sacks, playoff TFLs. If you're surprised by this, you don't watch Wraiths football.

Going to Disneyland!:Who was the Ultimus MVP? Give us a rundown of their celebratory trip to Disneyland.
In an NSFL first we have a joint MVP of the Ultimus between Robby Rainey and Micah Hendrix.
Robby Rainey has been the steady eddy touchdown machine for the Wraiths all season and the Ultimus proved no different as he had an unspectacular 22 attempts for 75 yards and 2 catches for 19 yards. However in that yeoman's effort he scored the first 2 touchdowns of the Wraiths win, and set a bruising pace that the rest of the squad fed off of. He allowed the wide receivers to average over 23 yards per catch, bringing the NSFL back to an older style of football, hammer it up the middle and bomb it deep. The strategy could only work with Rainey's efforts and is the reason he was awarded Co-MVP.
Micah Hendrix came to the Wraiths in a mid-season trade from his long term team, the Liberty. He was an ace in the hole for us the entire season, as he solidified an already strong defense. He showed out when it mattered the most as well, filling the stat sheet from his linebacker position. He ended the game with 6 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and four pass breakups. This is where Hendrix has shone all season, defending the pass, and if you put it all together he basically forced two three and outs all by himself. His play wasn't one dimensional and neither was the defense. He deserves his award.
The pair decided to live out the Disney World dream together and could be seen riding all the attractions together. They were in the same teacup in the Mad Teacup Ride, wandered through Epcot in awe together, and shot through space mountain, mouths agape. This is just the beginning of a dream offseason

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.
Interviewed @`Fire-Bred`
1. You've had a really strong first season, what do you think your chances are for Defensive Rookie of the Year?
I preformed better than my fellow rookies. But I believe my odds are a 1:2 chance of getting defensive rookie of the year, because they could easily go TPE wise and give it to Ramero. If they go stats wise I could have a chance at defensive rookie of the year and rookie of the year.
2. With your team just now losing to the young New Orleans Second Line, do you think the Otters have one more run in them for a championship in S9?
If we work free agency and the draft right we do have a great chance at returning. I am unsure if Boss is retiring or not but if he doesn't I want to get him and Winchester another ring for them
3. What do you make of your play in your first playoff game? Did you do enough?
We did not win, so no I did not do enough, i can get back to back to back tackles on a unimportant druve, but I couldn't even get to the ball on their last drive, you may say Mason you tied a record and I will say so what... we lost I should've preformed even better, so it was great but I let us down.
4. Elway or Manning? Fake Teeth Shannon Sharpe or Dimple Chin Terrell Davis?
Can I have both quarterbacks? If I would have to pick between the two I would take Elway. The next one is easy, Terrel Davis everyay
