The mental game -help starts before the game. Listening to some music that keeps hammering the goalies mind that they are a brick wall and nothing can pass them.
Then when the warmup starts its first some high shots for the gloves, both sides just to get those arms moving. The shots get lower, testing the legs movement. It's pretty easy shots, with the sole purpose of letting the goalie become warm and believe that this night is the night for the best game.
When that's done the rest of the team join in on the shooting warmup. Half the team in one corner, the other half in the other corner. One player goes up to the blueline, turns and gets a pass from the opposite corner and then goes in for a shot. and then some other alternatives on that one that gets more and more advanced, both for players and goalies.
During the actual game a classic stick on pad with a “great save” or “that was just unlucky” or “ That ones on me, sorry”.
Usually that does the trick to keep the goalies minds in the right place.

Whenever Georg gets opportunities thrown at him just like this once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to create his own horror movie for audiences to see there is no question if he will take it or not, as he most certainly is taking it 'til the very end with pride. Regardless if it would be related to ice hockey in one way or another it would be a psychological horror, somewhere similar to Misery but on a whole another level of psychological torture that will lift the viewer off of their seats and make them scream and squeal from sudden displays of horrific elements.
Scratch that, Georg will modernize the Human Centipede from late 2000s and associate it with hockey training camp where some guys went missing before who then were able to overcome their kidnapper but got stockholm syndrome while doing so and then started doing it themselves - but on a bigger scale with multiple centipedes. In their sleeping rooms. Making it as disturbing as you could since nowadays they just dont do horror movies like they used to do 15-20 years ago

Agent Tesla: Well the movie that Dave and I put together was a science fiction film because of the fact that I figured we could cut some costs by having me appear in my Halloween costume along with reusing his own Halloween costume of Hal 9000. What really helped bring it together though is the fact that I took one of my starships out of storage so that we would have easy access to a set that made getting the space shots super easy since we were actually there.
Now as far as monster or psychological I would say it was technically a bit of both as it relied on Dave as a Hal 9000 expy and I as an experimental existence being isolated deep in outer space. The overall plot painted a blurry picture for the audience which could lead one to easily identify the monster as myself given my deteriorating mental health that led to mistreatment of my AI companion, Dave on account of being part of the reason for said deteriorating mental health, or for the high art types they could easily argue the real monster of the plot was isolation itself. A benefit of using a bit of exaltation is that even if you would not see it as amazingly artistic on its own the magic that forged it will inspire such feelings all the same.
Admittedly the PR department loved it as a movie and were sure it would win awards at all levels, however unfortunately they did not love it as actual PR given the fact that the Syndicate logo was on screen for less than a minute and there was nothing about hockey whatsoever.

The most horrifying event of our time has been the S59 IIHF gold medal game. What is more sickeningly terrifying than an expansion international team winning its first gold before the last original IIHF team wins its first, while playing that very team. The movie would follow the Czech's S59 tournament, while setting the stage with the history of the IIHF and the Czech federation first, and all the struggles that came before. Then to have a gold medal game decided by only one goal: to have nearly 40 seasons of championship drought end, only to fall two goals short. At the very least, the ending can remain hopeful, as it was this very loss that resulted in the approval of the Petr project, although we still await Czechia's first goal, and there has been much more suffering in Czechia since. All in all, S59 is a cursed tournament that haunts all those with Czech blood to this day and changed the fabric of Czech society and culture as all appartuses now turn their focus to better their chances to win gold.

prompt 1: The horror movie that is filmed for the Halloween promotion is going to be a really surreal one, like one of those Yorgos Lanthimos
ones with Emma Stone in them, where everything is incredibly weird but it's all symbolic of something evil and sinister in hockey culture. There will be very weird monsters representing sexism, racism, homophobia, all of the things that a young hockey player might have to face growing up, but Lias and his teammates are going to defeat them all in a series of really bizarre encounters. There will probably be a lot of ghosts, maybe some swamp monsters, and probably a really big ice monster at the end that they all come together to fight and defeat as a team. It's important to note that Lias probably casts himself and Mikko Rashford as aged wizards or something equivalent to that, because everyone knows they are very old and not so great at the physical stuff anymore, and their main contributions to the team come in the form of intangibles like veteran presence and whatnot.

As a forward, Sunrise rarely speaks with the goalie since they are too far from each other in terms of positioning and he imagines that chatting along would disturb the goalie, causing them to lose focus which would not be ideal for the team in the slightest and, besides that, this sort of thing is really up to the team captain which Sunrise is not.
I think the most important thing players from the offensive line can help their goalie with is keeping the puck away from the defence so they do not have to worry about it as much. He will offer them the same support that the rest of the team will when it comes to suffering a goal or just dealing with the usual matters of a match and outside of the ice, he will gladly behave as a proper teammate and all but it is probably for the best for him not to interfere directly.

Forward Graj Virrok of the Philadelphia Forge of the Simulation Hockey League has a very special relationship with goalkeeper Base Pack. Throughout their time in the league together, Graj has always made a concerted effort to be there on the ice for Base no matter what happens and has never said a bad word to him. There have of course been times where Base has asked if Graj thinks he could do anything differently to help the team in terms of positioning, or using glove over stick, or trapping the puck in certain situations, and Graj has always been supportive and honest when asked these questions, but Graj also understands that there is a ton of pressure that comes with the position of goalkeeper and that it can be very difficult mentally. Graj loves to take Base out for drinks or dinners and just talk and chat and goof around to keep his spirits high, because Graj believes that the better mental state that Base is in, the better he performs.

We make jokes about TPE and goalies but they are still the lifeblood of the team, we say in a few preseason games what happens when you don't have a goalie in the net. We need goalies to win hockey games and they can really turn the tides of and playoff series. As a forward, to help our goalie focus during games I try and hype him up during timeouts, if he's bored back there I don't want him to lose an edge and give up an easy one. During warmups I take peppering him with shots very seriously, hit him with some real cheddar to make sure he's ready. We have an understanding to try and get him ready for anything once the game starts. When he lets one in I let him know it's alright but he needs to focus for the next one, what's important is that we win. Letting in one isn't the end of the world and to always pretend that we're down in the game so he stays focused on saving everything and stealing the game

Well Nathaniel is quite lucky to have played his career so far with one of the best in the league. Base Pack is an elite goal tender and doesn't need a lot of babying to get his best. Still, there are certain routines, and a special communication between defensemen and their goalie. For example, heading out to the ice, Pack gets a firm slash on his left pad, followed by right. Fist bump on his catcher, followed by a firm pat on the butt. You know, men things that men do.
On the ice there is a lot of communication between the two to the point they have even developed code words. Whoever is playing the puck needs to know where to go, so the one who can see needs to let the other know. There are a few tricks that Barca has picked up over the years such as looking for reflection on glass, but nothing beats a well placed puck set up for a quick pass and the moment you pick it up the goalie lets you know where to put it. That way you can immediately look up and put it where it needs to go.

Written option 2:
Chuck Lumbermouth is extremely involved in keeping his team’s goalies at the top of their game…whether the goalies like it or not….Chuck is constantly staring the goalies down menacingly during practice and every time someone scores a goal on one of them he scratches a tally into the back of the bench. It is very clear that he is going to run out of space eventually and he is very vocal about this. “Another one eh? Huh…sure seems like I’m gonna run outta space here pretty soon…I’d hate to see what happens when I do…” No one, least of which the goalies, knows what this means, but they are terrified of finding out. As a result no goalie ever takes a night off, because Chuck marks the tallies even during games. He looks them directly in the eyes when he does it and he scowls at them. The team has offered to let him do this with a marker but he insists upon using the blade of his skate in the most menacing way possible. (182 words)

Tip Toasty has made his impact primarily on the offensive end, but he is fully aware of the importance of communication with the goalie. Having a good relationship with his teammates is importantly, and the team’s goalies are no exception. Toasty treats their relationship as a priority when building team chemistry.
On the ice, the skater pays close attention to verbal communication with the goaltender. The perspective from the net gives the goalie a better view of the full picture when on the backcheck. Toasty takes this feedback into account when playing the rush and transitioning from offensive zone to defensive zone.
Off the ice, the relationship Toasty had with the netminders is as it is with any player, tailored to that individual. If a goalie needs friendly communication pregame, Toasty has that relationship. If a goalie needs quiet focus, he recognizes and adapts.
In warmups, toasty tries to emphasize focus areas for the goalie. After watching tape of the oppositions’ best players, Toasty tries to imitate the strengths during shootaround to get the goalie thinking about what the other team might do differently than other teams.
