You're playing a bit of a mind game with goalie here as you call for pass from the teammate you just passed to. It's not that you don't trust him to take it's just that you feel like the team has a better chance of winning if you make some quick decisions.

You quickly do some calculations in your head to figure to try and map out the route to victory here.

The goalie is looking at your teammate. The defender closes to you has pulled a little further away with your decision to slow down and try and separate the two defenders from your teammate.

This has given you the chance to get open as you expected.

You raise your stick in expectation of the pass and focus all of your power into the mental suggestion to your teammate.

"Trust me" it says.

Your teammate is on the other side of the ice still. They make a little fake on their defender and pull to the outside by the boards before taking the briefest second to send pass right at you.

You have a brief moment of time to decide:

Focus all your strength into a one-timer

Fake the shot and drive into the goalie

After you pass the puck to your teammate you figure that the best way that you could provide support for them is to follow their entry into the zone and get in tight for a rebound opportunity after they take their shot. The two of you sized up the competition and the plan decided in the locker room was executed.

Your teammate should be able to beat this Dman easily, but then it was up to the goalie. You decided it wasn't in your best interests to let fate decide how this game will go and therefore you want to make sure you have the best possible chance of scoring.

As your teammate gets ready to shoot you race past your dman and get in position right in front of the goalie. Your teammate hammers a shot and the goalie is square on.

He tries to catch it but the puck ricochets off of his glove and he panics as he swings around and sets himself up in your direction.

It's not like you can hide right in front of the goalie, but you now have a choice to make:

Quickly snap the pass to your teammate, the goalie looks unsteady

Or

Take the puck and do a quick wraparound attack

You've broken out of the pack and decided that the best way to beat this 2v2 defense is to do the zone entry yourself.

Your teammate's mark is a little closer than you would have like for comfort now and you're pretty happy that you chose to do the entry. Now you just have to beat your defender.

You start from the outside and do a crescent moon from the right side of the ice in hope that you can use the dman as a screen of sorts against the goalie.

If he cant see you he won't know what your next move is. You quickly fake a cut to the inside and watch the seasoned defenseman change his position before snapping the puck back to your forehand and speeding around your defender. It's now just you and the goalie.

The goalie who could see you before is now in a half set position. He is getting himself ready for a shot if you are going to take one.

You aren't very far from the goal at this point and its quite possible you could overpower the goalie, but you're going to have to be really confident about that shot. You maybe have a distance of five feet and are slightly regretting this decision. You hear some ice skating behind you and it emboldens you to take a chance:

Stop right in front of the goalie and drop back a pass to center ice to a teammate who should be there

Or

Skate past the goalie and go for a wraparound and attack from the other side

You decide to pass the puck to your teammate. Just like the team had strategized in the break between the third period and the first overtime. You are now executing the plan. After the well played defensive play by your dman back on the other side of the ice. You have now cut off the exact two players that were identified by your coach.

The pieces are all set up and now it's time to take action.

You snap the puck to your teammate who enters the zone shortly followed by yourself. He skates in a sort of weaving formation. You know from practice that this means he is ready to go for an attack.

You also know that your teammate will also pass it back to you if you ask for it. You've done this countless times for this exact situation. Where they break the zone and you set up for a goal scoring chance.

But this is game 7 and nothing is certain when players want to do everything they can to win the game. Although I guess you're no different.

Get into a position to call for the pass

Or

Get ready for the rebound

With the third period ending and the score still a 0-0 tie. Both teams head to their respective locker rooms for a quick pow-wow. Your coach emphatically points at a white board and draws a lot of lines towards the opponents goal. Yah you get it... attack, attack, attack. Has he been on the same ice as you? All you've been doing is attempting to attack.

That goalie is a brick wall tonight and it's going to take something special to break through that iron defense that is being shown in this game 7. The coach then says that he has a plan.

He's been watching the game really closely (as he should be) and he thinks that there is a dman on the other team who is playing with an injured foot. If we can isolate that dman and one other and force a 2 on 2 situation then that might give us the best chance we have to score and close out this game for good.

He picks yourself and 3 other offensive players to be designated as being ready for the rush. With a big hoorah! Your team exists the locker room to take their positions on the ice again.

In the first few minutes, the play looks exactly the same as it did the past three periods. Both teams are showing an incredible defense with shot blocks and great positioning. Neither team can get the edge and the fatigue is starting to show.

On one of your shifts on the bench, the other team gets into a 2v1 chance that is blocked by one of your teammates diving to the ice and taking the puck square in the ribs. Play is halted while he is brought back to the bench after a struggle to get up, You are a bit incesnsed.

Play resumes with you on the ice. After the faceoff you step a bit back to be ready to go. Suddenly your teammate strips the puck from one of the attackers and fires a pass your way. The 2v2 situation is happening!

Another teammate rushes for the attack and is slightly ahead of you:

Pass to your teammate and follow up

Or

Do the zone entry yourself

You attempt to throw bodies left and right out of the bleachers. Everyone is in your way, or really just attacking as you as you go on a rampage to inflict as much damage to these angry fans as possible.

Your teammates are a little taken back by the ferocious screams coming from your mouth and your declarations of war against the other team. This game turned a little nasty and it made you a little demented. As you throw people left and right you realize that you have cut yourself off from any avenue of espace and that just makes you struggle harder.

"COME GET SOME" you yell to the crowd.

They hesitate for just a moment before swarming you all at once. As you start to drown in a sea of bodies, everything begins fades to black. You feel someone bite you and before you know it the whole crowd has gone berserk.

In your final moments, you hear someone screaming about zombies...

Will you rise again and retake the challenge?

Or

Just Restart the Fight Scene

With your bare hands you get into the thick of the crowd throwing wild haymakers left and right. No one seems to be focused on you in particular so anyone who gets close enough to be a target is a target.

You've punched in young people's faces, old people's faces, and you think you hit a sign of yourself somewhere along the way.

Friend or foe it doesn't seem to matter anymore as you have given into the rage of the fight.

With each new person to come and be smashed down, you feel your psyche slowly breaking down. You begin to laugh hysterically...

Somewhere in the back of your mind you hear someone calling for a doctor...

"Doctor, Doctor, DOCTOR!" The patient is having another episode.

Quickly get the sedatives he is thrashing about more than usual and screaming something about being a hockey player over and over again.

Strap him down.

Get the needle.

HOLD HIM.

......

Everything fades to black again.

Restart your dream?

Or

Restart the fight?

As you take your stick and start to swing it at the crowd who is now coming on to the ice to get you. You realize that maybe you have bitten off more than you can chew.

You yell at the crowd to get back.

"Back, I SAY, BACK you animals"

The crowd advances slowly. They are blocking your retreat. There is nowhere to go.

In a panic you take the stick and you scream as you advance on the closest figure. If they're not going to let you go then you're just going to have to fight your way out. You swing at one, you swing at another. People are going down as the crowd slowly lets you by.

Until you are so close to your exit. You can taste freedom. Only a few more people to be bloodied and bruised. You are getting hit and punched from all sides when your back is turned.

You finally take one might swing only to find that your stick is stuck. Someone has taken their bare hands and stopped your stick.

The crowd descends on you. The last thing you recall is hearing the sounds of the ambulance as you

fade

to

black....

You and your fellow teammates take your sticks and form a phalanx.

Shoulder to shoulder you brace for the incoming tide of angry fans. "HOLD THE LINE!" Your captain says.

AS the first wave strikes the whole team is pushed back a little bit. It feels like an unwinnable situation. You are tired from playing a 60-minute game, but fear is giving you adrenaline right now. At some point, the front line is able to dig in their skates and stop sliding backward.

"AS ONE!" the captain yells

With a great "HOORAH" the front line pushes back the horde while the 2nd line comes through the gaps with their sticks and thrusting them into the guts of the assaulters.

Before the attackers can swarm through the blocks in the phalanx, the 2nd line steps up and defends. You step back and let your teammates take some of the attack now while you stab at any fan unlucky enough to come accross the end of your stick.

Slowly, you and your team work your way across the ice, through the seeting mass of the angry fans. As you get to the entrance to your locker room you quickly all reatreat to and live to fight... I mean skate another day.

As the tide surges through the broken panes and on to the ice you realize that the best weapon you have on hand to defend yourself can only be your hands. As the wave gets bigger, you decide that having a weapon might not be so bad...

You take your helmet off for some reason. Its harder and wont break as easily as hands and will let you stay in the fight longer.

As the first person comes across you, you smash the helmet into their face. In a spray of blood, gore, and teeth the person collapses. With each new assailant you use your helmet to dismember them and cause general bloodshed.

Soon you are covered in blood. The only thing keeping you on the ice is the fact that you are in skates, and yet the crowd still comes. You keep bashing away.

The more you bash the easier it becomes. Soon heads are just exploding and with each death brings more power.

You have become one with the blood.

Blood responds to your call. People in the fringes are bowing down.

You have become a blood god. This carnage is pleasing to you...

Or maybe you have always been a god?

It's time to subjugate the world...

You grab a helmet only to find that it still has a head in it. For some reason, someone out there has a machete and is cutting off heads and this terrifies you.

Your only hope to take this helmet and run for your life. As the crowd starts to become thick, you use the helmet to deflect attacks while skating for the locker room.

People chase you down, but each time you are able to get the helmet up and block just in time.

You retreat into the locker room and live to skate another day.

Start adventure over

Or

Restart the fight

With a stick in hand, you have a weapon with some reach.

You are poking away at the crowd hoping to get some distance between them and you. If enough people go down with a stick to the gut , you are oping that the bloodlust of the rest of the fans will go away. As more and more people come onto the ice, you find yourself trapped with no where to go.

The situation is quickly spiraling out of control and you begin to panic. Soon enough you are surrounded on all sides with no one to turn to.

The crowd looks to be a mix of both teams fans, what is going on????

You hear a chant in the back slowly pick up sounds...

"Sacrifice"

You cant quite make it out until the people nearest to you start taking up the chant..

"Sacrifice, Scarifice, Sacrifice"

You scream as the crowd gets in so close that you cant keep away. You are muffled. A dagger plunges into your chest... and then another.

Then nothing

Restart whole adventure?

Or

Restart the fight

You take the stick in hand and start sweeping at the crowd.

You are taking vicious strikes and no one is willing to approach you. Maybe because you have this spark in your eyes that tells everyone you're a little crazy, and maybe because no one wants a stick to the face.

You slowly back up to the nearest exit. The crowd tries to press in but they are unable to because of the speed you are whipping the stick back and forth.

As you close in on the enemy locker room. You take one defiant scream and run into the LR and escape.

Years down the road people would mark this as the beginning of an apocalypse of some sort.

You always keep the stick with you as it becomes your trusty weapon. Even as it no longer resembles a stick when outfitted with all of those knives youve found.

10 years later you find another member of your team and you begin to reminisce about the last time the world made any sense.

It's been a while, do you remember the game differently?

Or

Restart the fight scene

As the shards of broken glass lay at your feet you decide to drop your gloves and take the fight to the fans in the arena.

As you fight your way up the stands with quick jabs and pushes. You realize that this strategy is quickly becoming inefficient and that people are just getting angry.

It's time for you to step up your assault a notch and really bring it to the crowd.

Do you:

Start grabbing people and throwing them

Or

Get into a rhythm and start throwing haymakers

As the glass shatters to the ice you grab your trusty stick. Well really it was any stick within reach.

At first its like a nuclear weapon. As long as you have the stick people seem to be afraid to approach you. You feint some attacks but nothing really connects and you're ok with that. The best possible outcome here is that you can get out of here with just a little bit of fun with the crowd.

Whats wrong with enjoying a good fight?

Slowly the crowd starts thickening and people don't seem to be afraid of your faints any more. You hear your captain in the background rallying the team and anyone together that will listen. You start heading in that direction even though its difficult to hear them.

Your hands are starting to feel weak and you're afraid if you turn around you are going to get overwhelmed.

Do you:

Keep swinging your stick in self preservation

Or

Take the risk and head for your captain

As you grab your helmet in preparation to defend. The glass shatters under the weight of all the angry crowd pressing against it. The first people to fall through are crushed, but the rest of the crowd is too riled up to notice.

The onslaught is coming and it's just you and a helmet. In your mind, you are saying "Bring it on! I'm unstoppable"

But in the face of such a crowd, you can't help buy quake in your skates in fear.

As the first fans are beginning to get to your position you have to make a decision

Defend your ground, these wimps cant take you

Or

Retreat and hope to live to play hockey another day

As the glass shatters and the crowd spills out on to the ice you grab your stick and prepare to defend.

Between your stick and your fists you are pretty confident that you will be able to keep everyone else at bay.

In this fight the stick is definitely the superior weapon so there is no reason why this could go badly.

As more fans get on the ice you start to have some second thoughts. This doesn't seem right. People look a little crazed and its unclear if people are brawling or getting organized.

How do you want to use your stick to defend?

Poke at them to keep them at bay

Or

Large sweeping motions

As the crowd riles up out there, and your own anger starts ramping up. You have this brilliant idea to take the fight to them.

What if you go and you break that glass...yeah! That's sounding like a good idea!!

As you walk up to the glass and start yelling and banging back you are really looking for a weakness to shatter the glass so you can get up there and take vengeance with your own hands.

As you find a crack that you can exploit you have to make a decision:

Grab a stick to use as a weapon

Or

Prepare to drop your gloves, weapons are for the weak

As the crowd starts getting closer to the glass and really pilling on top of it, you realize that it could give at any moment.

Instead of charging wildly at the glass to get a closer look at your accusers you decide to stay back a safe distance and take measure of the situation. As the glass starts creaking you decide that your actions are justified and that now it's time to start looking to defend yourself.

Other players are on the ice and looking just a flustered. As you all slowly gather in the middle of the ice, friends and foes alike, the glass shatters.

As you prepare to defend youself against the crowd do you:

Grab a helmet that has rolled close to you

Or

Prepare yourself with your trusty stick

In one last act of desperation as the clock winds down on the third period, you make a terrible decision.

As you are falling to the ground you lunge out with your stick and let go.

The stick bounces a couple of times before settling right in front of the other skater.

In a flurry of motions, he trips on the stick and falls down to the ice. Your goalie who had somehow been out of position gets a chance to slide into the right one.

A whistle is called on the play, but at least you have stopped a situation that surely was going to go south.

As the player winds up to take their penalty shot its now between them and the goalie.

THe player comes in strong and slaps it right for the corner.

You make it to the bench and tag out with another player.

Play continues for the last 30 seconds with another player on your team getting a last minute breakaway that is saved by the other goalie.

As the whistle blows the game to an end you can't help but wonder what it could have been like if you had been that teammate. Could you have scored that goal?

As the puck crack into your should it manages to dampen the inertia that was built on the shot and instead of ricocheting wildly it kind of flops dead in front of your face.

You are in a split second of perceived invulnerability.

You see the player take the shot but the pain is too much. You stay down as the shot is blocked by someone else closer to your team's goal.

You take a few breaths to calm down before attempting to hoist yourself up onto your skates.

As you manage to get up your mind races for what the right call would be.

Should you get off the ice and get someone else on?

Should you try and go for an offensive play?

What do you think?

Skate for Bench

Call for the puck and make a play

They always say that when you first block a shot that you feel no pain. Boy were they wrong.

This wasn't your first blocked shot ever, but damn does it hurt every time.

The shot takes you to your knees and you almost feel like collapsing on the ground.

You're pretty sure you might have broken a rib on that shot block.

As you begin to fall down you look up and see that puck is back to the player and theyre taking another shot.

Its too soon! What if you're team isn't ready for them...

Lunge again with your body to block the shot

The player in front of you is about to take a shot. It's up to you to do something about it.

You decide to put your skate to the ice and you speed up to charge at the player and scare them from making the shot.

The player almost expects your little outburst and with a faked shot and little smirk at you they are ducking past you and as you're shoulder to shoulder with them you realize with a sneaking decision that you've been played.

As the attacker is about to pass you you turn around in desperation
