RE: S78 PT #2: It Was All a Trick! - NorwegianDemon - 08-19-2024
Option 2: Nor definitely enjoy a bit of what could be described as cheating, but most of the time, it would not be something that would get punished by the referee even if he witnesses it. Nor tends to play on the line when it comes to those types of things. Nor tends to hook people by moving with them, but only when they are not skating at full. This tends to slow down the other player when it tries to accelerate which helps Nor’s teammate catch up with opposing team players. Since he is also moving with the player he is hooked too, the referee usually doesn’t see it as egregious enough to call a penalty on Nor. Nor also knows that he is not the only player using this specific trick, this is why an opponent tries to position himself next to him while Nor’s team as possessions of the puck, he will try to get some distance from his opponent as quickly as he can.

Written Option 1:
Ville Sato-Maki has always been a more reserved player on the team but he isn't afraid to throw a subtle prank here and there amongst the teammates. One of the pranks that Sato-Maki likes to play on the teammates is to hide a player's favourite stick or his helmet or his stick tape so he goes around looking for it. A harmless prank overall and it is a great scavenger hunt especially for the rookies that are to be welcomed to the Vancouver Whalers. For Khabibulin, the new goaltender on the team, Ville Sato-Maki hid his goalie helmet right before his first game and as the lights were dimming in the Pacific Coliseum, the young rookie goaltender was scrambling in the locker room to find it and next thing you know he could see it in the distance on the ice, in his net, hid by Sato-Maki himself. Sato-Maki skates over and says "welcome to the team, happy to have ya", giving sticktaps to the young goalies' pads.

Option 1: It should come as no real surprise that somebody as driven as Simo takes not just himself but everything about his play extremely seriously: not to a superstitious level, but the man has a firm routine for practices and for games that he firmly does not like to have disrupted. As such, he hates pranks being played on him; as an obvious consequence, he is a frequent target of pranks from new team members and people who don't know him very well. Be it graffiti on his helmet, stealing his bright blue stick tape or hiding eggs in his skates so he cracks them, the unwise and the foolhardy have done it all to Simo.
In the moment, Simo never reacts. Pranksters need a reaction to get their kicks, he knows that, and all that happens is a certain glazing over of the eyes. At that point, those in the know take pains to keep a reasonable distance from the prankster, because they know very well that a freight train is barrelling down the tracks towards the hapless joker and anybody nearby is going to get splattered.
Some say the best revenge is living well. They don't know how satisfying it is to look down at somebody who just froze your socks and give them a serial killer smile.

Opt 1
N'Zola is not much known for being a prankster in Los Angeles but after his initial move to Baltimore it all changed in a night or so. The atmosphere in the locker room was easier to get a grasp onto from the very beginning and the players were very welcoming from day 1. No disrespect to the LA players by any means but in Baltimore, Georg has been able to show his truest colors being a playful yet professional person. The man in question bought a whoopie cushion out of all things to make a laugh out of all of his linemates to show them "it aint that serious"
Since N'Zola started it, he also got the whoopie cushion treatment. One fine morning when they were doing skating drills like the usual, Olubori wanted to get into the frey as well so he planted a whoopie cushion under this guys hemorrhoid pillow - as if the man has not suffered enough already

Written Option #2:
Denebor Milasch as a goal tender has seen and experienced all sorts of little tricks and dirty plays to try and get an advantage. Years ago in Sweden players used to wear golden reflective visors to try and keep goalies from reading their eyes and to potentially reflect lights in the goalies eyes. Players that are going for screens will also subtlety bump goalies, slash and poke check after saves to try and jar the puck loose or rattle the goalie after the play. There are plenty of other little things that happen like chirping and snowing the goalie as a means to get into a goalies head, but Denebor Milasch is used to all of them and does his best to shrug them off. On the other side of things Denebor does have a few tricks he does. He is allowed a little contact with players screening him and is willing to push and hit players to protect his crease and vision.

Jennifer never plays dirty, as she was raised that a clean player will always be more successful in the long run and that you will have better karma because of it. She has of course been the victim of dirty player’s before, mostly with embellishments. Just last season against St. Louis their goalie took a dive when she was in the crease and despite not touching the goalie she ended up with a goalie interference penalty. The way she avoids this now is to avoid contact. Being a smaller player that’s more of her game anyway, but it’s hard to get hit with embellishment or a dirty hit when the other team can’t touch you. Overall she would love to see referees tighten up the game, as to her there is no place in the SHL for cheap plays and poor conduct, regardless of the advantage it may give your team. If you’re going to win, you should do it the right way.

Pranks? Me? I would never, ever, not play a prank on my teammates. How could you even suggest that? We are still trying to figure out who put 9 kilos of spaghetti tagliatelle in the washing machine. Who would do such a thing? Why would someone do that and write in Italian, "Lodare le tagliatelle" on the walls. these silly pranks seem to be following me from team to team as well. I first noticed it in Minnesota when I was playing there. They started popping up in New Orleans when I first got traded here. When I asked some teammates about it, they mentioned that it did not start happening until I showed up. Strange how they are trying to blame the only Italian born player on the team, but hey, you live and you learn. Recently, meatballs have been appearing in some teammates gloves, I have been lucky enough avoid such things, but I wonder who could be behind these new pranks.

Written Option 1: Gwendolyn absolutely plays pranks on her teammates. They're as tasteful as can be, and she works to undo whatever pains it brings. Say... she unscrews a pepper shaker so that a teammate spills all the pepper on their plate. She ensures there's more food after, but there is a smug look on her face the entire time. She gets a teammate's uniform dyed pink and tossed in the locker, but has a spare stashed away. She doesn't hand it over until the teammate plays in the pink one for a bit though, giggling all the way through practice. Gwendolyn's favourite prank so far would be buying a car for her friend Frøya Solberg, but with a wrap covered in Sailor Moon designs. Putting that in her Norwegian driveway and using that for commutes has been Gwendolyn's magnum opus to date so far. As the Solberg fame continues to rise in the hockey world, so will the fact she has the dinky little anime car on display wherever she goes.

option 1: Lias sometimes likes to prank his teammates, but he always makes sure they are not pranks where anybody gets hurt. If someone actually gets hurt, that's not cool and also could jeopardize the success of the team, which he would never do for a cheap laugh. He likes to do silly things, like one time he kept incrementally replacing all of Mikko Rashford's equipment with equipment that was identical except for the fact that all of the name labels were reversed and appeared backwards. He also got the rest of the team to agree to not mention it, so when Rashford was confused, everyone pretty much fully gaslit him about it. The prank culminated with Rashford showing up for an actual game to be greeted by a pristine "DROFHSAR" jersey hanging in his locker (which was when Lias finally fessed up and gave Rashford his real jersey and stopped messing with all of the name labels on things).

[Option 2]
Johnny FourStar will do whatever it takes to get ahead out there on the ice. He needs every advantage possible if he wants Winnipeg to have a chance at winning. However he does not call what he does on the ice tricks. Tricks are something a whore does for money. Instead JOHNNY FourStar will do illusions. He will make someone's stick glove or other equipment disappear! He will cause a speedy forward to stick to him instead of going on the breakaway. But most of all he will engage in illusions of the mind. Job my FourStar will get in your head with incessant chirping and psychological torture. What you think we're here just to have a good time? Nonsense! We're here to win, that's how Johnny FourStar has a good time. Whatever dirty illusion Johnny has to do in order to be the best team left standing on the ice, he is going to do no question.

Written Option 1: Does your player play pranks on their teammates? If so, what kinds of pranks do they pull on them? How do your teammates react to these pranks? If your player isn’t the type to pull pranks themselves, are they the target of any pranks? Do they fall for them if they can be avoided? Feel free to describe how your player pranks their teammate or their reaction to getting pranked themselves!RE: S78 PT #2: It Was All a Trick! - scudmuffin19 - 08-20-2024
