Lias has been in the game long enough that he is pretty familiar with which people in the media can be counted on to be respectful. In Los Angeles, he’s not really a superstar anymore, and he’s fine with that. Prompt 2: He’s had his time in the spotlight and he’s happy to play his part and be a veteran presence and hype up the younger players. But after all the years he’s spent dealing with the media he’s also developed an eye for when other players are being made uncomfortable or are in a line of questioning they’re wanting out of, and Lias has more than once taken it upon himself to interrupt. He’s not afraid to play the “aging superstar who is desperately trying to stay relevant” if it means he can spare a teammate an awkward interaction with a media person they’d rather not be talking to, and he is especially willing to do that when the media person is asking stupid questions about “what went wrong” after a loss when everyone just wants to be left alone

As the Knights season ended in defeat against the Timber in the finals, emotions were running high in the kelowna dressing room. Players were letting out those emotions in various ways, some keeping quite, while others let out a number of profanities.
Emeric knew this would be one of his last chances to win the cup in the SMJHL and was particularly upset. In his anger, he at one point mentioned that the Kelowna Knights logo was only 'okay'. It just so happens that Kelowna's GM was around the corner and overheard Emeric's blasphemous statement, immediately calling him in for a meeting in his office.
Although Emeric pleaded his case the best he could, stating that his emotions simply got the better of him, the GM was having none of it. He ordered him to replace all the LED lights in the rink as punishment. Things didn't end there, however, as Emeric was soon sent packing to Newfoundland after his GM decided to move on, citing irreconcilable differences.

Prompt 2
Hamper has always been a bit self conscious about media appearance. He can talk just fine and articulate everything he wants easily but the elephant in the room of him being a man with a laundry hamper as a head is always a bit awkward. Some people are a but freaked out when he starts talking so hamper doesn't talk much with people he doesn't already know pretty well. That being said when he's getting interviewed or media day he likes keeping everything short and sweet. He doesn't go as far as "I'm just here so I don't get fined" he doesn't want to alienate the media completely (bad idea to be on their bad side) but he's got a lot of hockey answers queued up. Stuff like "it's got to be a real team effort out there" and "we gotta keep driving the puck to win these games" are regulars to the answer rotation and keep things sort and simple so he can go practice.

Not that Valieva is on her way out or in decline, but she's no longer the player she once was. Injuries have taken their toll, affecting her speed and strength. The media doesn't know about these injuries (and they must not find out).
Valieva has faced more criticism from the Maryland press lately. That's part of the reason why she decided to step down from her assistant captain position and pass it on to a younger player. She believes it's important to highlight the new generation of talented players in Baltimore who will lead the team into the future. Valieva even gave up a sponsorship deal to a rookie, and tries to shift the spotlight away from herself. She's no longer the face of major marketing campaigns too. Previously, she was often at the center of attention for all the wrong reasons. And kind of liked it. Now, she’s intentionally staying out of the spot light . Hockey is a business, and Valieva has become more cautious about how the media portrays her.

Prompt 1
Pork Tenderloin can be quite the prankster and sometimes he likes to take things a little too far. Well one weekend he decided to be particularly devious and snuck into the office of @JR95 and @luke and took the liberty of filling all of their drawers with 100% pure maple syrup. In hindsight, this may have been a bit of a mistake. I mean, it was obvious as soon as you entered the room that something was up. All you could smell was the syrup and it was also kind of leaking onto the floor and I mean that's not even to mention the files that got completely ruined. But hey, it was really really funny to see it happen and to see the look on Luke and JR's faces when it all went down. I don't think Pork Tenderloin has ever laughed harder in his life to be honest. It was completely worth it to spend a weekend changing light bulbs.

Option 1: Kaarlo Koivuenen angered the GM because he had stopped going to practices for absolutely worst reasons possible and then he started playing worse what angered the GM a lot because ofc you would need to go to practises and specifically when you start playing worse because of it thats why the GM was angered and if kaarlo koivunen had to change every signle lightbulb in the arena he either would try to hire help or not do it at all and if the GMS acctualy would still force him to change every single lightbulp he would just demand a trade since in no way is kaarlo koivunen gonna change every single lightbulp in the arena specifically as big as the one calgary is playing in it would be a nightmare if he couldn't get help like imagine changing thousands and thousands of lightbulps like in no way is that humanly possible so thats why kaarlo koivunen wouldn't do it

I think even if 3WW Wingmate Roc did not anger the GM, which he has been doing because of the fact that he has so many fewer points than the Edmonton gang, and has been angling for a release or trade so that he can actually GET SOME POINTS and score and be a star so that he gets all the endorsement money.
It will be easy for Wingmate Roc to do this lightbulb changing because he is a bird. It turns out that it is a great advantage in a lot of things to be able to fly. Wingmate Roc would probably be asked to do this job anyway, the benefit of being able to do things easily because of the ability to fly is counterbalanced by the fact that you'll be asked to do this stuff because you can fly.
I think Wingmate Roc would take a stand and not do this until he is promised more minutes and opportunity.

Written Option 2
AT-AT Wøllker hasn't had to deal with too much media scrutiny as of yet. He spent his Junior career with the Great Falls Grizzlies, which is not a huge media market so there was not a lot of exposure. In this, his rookie season in the SHL, he is joining a very young Seattle Argonauts squad in the final stages of a rebuild. The main focus of the public relations people is on hyping up the young players who will become the core of the future. The fan favorites are often the flashy offensive guys so the spotlight goes to them more often than not. Because AT-AT Wøllker plays a very defensive game, he doesn't have a lot of highlights to put on the hype videos. As far as public appearances go, AT-AT is from Iceland, and even after 3 years in the USA, he has a heavy accent and limited vocabulary, so he isn't asked to do a lot of interviews. The lack of media exposure doesn't bother him much, as it allows him a little anonymity when he's out grocery shopping.

Option 2:
Marton has never shied away from media, though he's more of a fan event guy than a post game presser person. When it comes to discussing the game, he always wants to digest and consider what he has to say, never falling into the repetitive sound bites that don't really say or mean anything. He never volunteers for the quick chats with TV or radio between periods, and will only do the post game press conference if he specifically played a big role in the game. But he has done his fair share of morning news programs, where he barely has to talk hockey at all, and more focused hockey talk shows, where he can talk more Xs and Os and the nitty gritty bits of the game. If anything, management has had to teach him how to be a bit more vague in those chats, least he give away too much on strategy and team dynamics.

RE: S79 PT #1: All Of The Lights - Chris - 10-20-2024
Written Option 1: Marian incited the displeasure of the GM by openly disapproving of the team's coaching staff for their insufficient strategic preparation. It was a deliberate act driven by anger towards the team's recent results. Marian believed they were not being used efficiently during games and chose to express their concerns openly.
Initially, Marian thought about flatly refusing the task of changing the stadium's light bulbs as a form of punishment. Nevertheless, he ultimately chose to embrace the challenge to showcase his commitment to the team and readiness to take accountability for his actions. Despite the difficult job, Marian tackled it with professionalism and efficiency, making sure all the LED bulbs were installed successfully before the big event.
In this scenario,Marian demonstrated both his commitment to hard work and cooperation with his team, as well as his skill in gracefully and determinedly tackling challenges. It provided a valuable learning experience in responsibility and communication, improving the relationship between Marian and his GM

Option 2
Henri Losanov is the starting goaltender for the Seattle Argos so of course the spotlight is on him. He joined the team when they were in rebuild mode so the pressure or the fans and media was pretty much zero his first two seasons. But this year it is a big different as the core is pretty much all called up and yet the team is off to a worst start than expected. Some of that blame is on Henri shoulders and the questions from the media are becoming a bit more harsh. Losanov. born in France, can use the my english is not good card to get away with short answers. The journalists know they wont get a good sound bite interviewing him so they leave him alone most of the time. Henri prefers it that way, he loves hockey on the ice but what comes with it outside of the rink a lot less.
