Having only been a player/spectator of the SHL I can't argue for any of the other
Watching a game on stream each of the 3 cases are stressful in their own right.
The tied game you are so on edge hoping you will pull through and score that game winning goal, or, at the very least not let the opponents score in the last few seconds to lose the game.
Trailing by one goal is almost more exciting as you are really just hoping you can tie the game, which does feel like it happens quite often, to at least bring it to over time for that sweet 1 point.
But the most tense must be as leading by 1 goal and knowing that the sim engine just loves that late comeback by a trailing team. Just hoping that your player can score that final goal to at least bring it up to a 2 goal lead is extremely tense. Bring that situation to a game 7 in the playoffs and you are on edge for the entire game...

Code:

What is more tense to be involved in as a player/coach/GM/spectator, a tie game, a game where you are leading by 1, or a game where you are down by 1? Describe all three and decide: what is the most tense you have been watching a close game on stream? (If you haven't watched a stream make something up). Pad your word count until you get to 150+ words.

Being a goaltender and a J GM I have had the great fortune (or misfortune depending on the way you look at it) of experiencing all three of these...once even in the same simulation day.  Each have their own bag of feelings that I'm sure can be re-iterated among all players/managers when watching a sim.  If you're ahead by one, you'll often see "hodl" comments pop up along side the "hold.  HOLD!" chats just begging for that clock to run out and eek out a win.   Tie games are probably the least concerned.  Once you get to OT you get a point, which doesn't make it a total loss.  It is especially nice when an OT game goes the full length and doesn't end 20 seconds in on a breakaway.  I'd say the most pressure inducing, edge of seat riding event is when both teams are very evenly matched and you're down by 1.  You know for sure that your team is capable of tying it up, or even moving ahead in the clutch final minutes and you're just begging the game to not...as they say... "fhm you" as you watch the opposing goaltender's game rating climb...and climb...and climb as you pepper them with shot after shot after shot.

Prompt 1

My SHL wedding would be between Eko Van Otter and Gabriel Johnson. The two are good buddies and I just think they'd hit it off great as a married couple. All of ATL is there getting boozed up in Drunk Tank, but there's a loud banging on the chapel door. What's this? It's Gabe's old team Anchorage Armada! They're all chanting "fuck Gabe" in unison. There's confusion all around the chapel. Leppy steps up to them and says, "hey now what's the big idea" and gets a huge slobberknocker to the face from Bear. "This long-legged freak doesn't deserver happiness!" someone shouts. "Guys I won you a cup and got you to the finals like 4-5 seasons in a row", Gabe exclaims calmly. "Nuh uh, we don't wanna hear any of your facts or sense, scum!" Eventually Paul Binder magically shapeshifts into a Demon Wall from Final Fantasy and forces all of the Anchorage guys out and kills them and the ATL wedding continues and everyone lives happily ever after. Except for Anchorage because they're dead.

PROMPT 2 - There is nothing more tense than watching your team tied in an important game with the clock winding its was down towards the zero mark at the end of the third period. If you are behind, there is a certain fatalism that sets in, a feeling of inevitable loss. You know you are not coming back to tie the game, deep down in your gut. You hope and pray, but the feeling is certainly not one of excitement. If you are ahead, you are happy and looking forward to the win, but there is a nervousness and frailty to that feeling. But with a tie game, there can only be excitement. The score has to change. Something is going to happen at some point to change where the game stands and by the gods of hockey it will be your team and it will be dramatic. I have seen my Kelowna team in that situation many times. Usually, it doesnt go our way, but when it does, oh that sweet feeling is so good. And if your player is involved in the goal, all the better.

As a GM, I don’t think anything stresses me out more than a tie game in the third or beyond. Being up one is stressful because you never know when a goal is going to slip past your goalie, but if your team is still controlling play then its not too much to worry about. Being down one is stressful as well but since you’re not leading anyway its just hoping you get one to get to the tie. But in a tie game late, where it’s next goal wins, you just kind of start getting nervous watching the screen, hoping your team is the one to break the tie. And when it gets to overtime the anxiety gets 10 times worse as its literally next goal wins. Shootouts don’t stress me out since I know theyre just a coin flip like in real life but nothing is more stressful than overtime.

Thank you @xjoverax and @phoenix for the sigs!

Prompt 1:

"We are gathered here today to celebrate and honor this joyous union between two Minnesota Monarchs legends: Collin Gibbles and Mathias Seger. These two have gone through the think of things for the past... infinite seasons..." Well barring that one trip down to Los Angeles, but ignore that! IGNORE THAT!... "they are two of the greatest players to put on the jersey here in Minnesota and have been stalwarts of the community since arriving here in 10 A.D. Yes, their knees may be dust and their backs are not as straight as they once were but..."

"STOP!" Arsene Leclerc has burst through the door. Yes, actual defender Arsene Leclerc. "Why are you two doing this now! We have a season starting in less that 12 hours! WE GOT TO GO!"

This wedding seems to have been poorly planned and should have taken place a week ago and not on the same day as the season opener. OOPS, who knew the SHL offseason could be so short! Not me... not me...

It was a splendid event in which friend of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds wete invited to celebrate a glorious union. As such, both Adelie de Pengu and Melvin Majestik-Moose were invited as they'd met Gunnar through Nevada where he recently took over as GM. The two friends went to eagerly celebrate this union as their new friend had always been kind to them and they brought hefty gifts. Pengu brought an entire crate of freshly caught fish and Moose brought more moose. After all, the great Moose migration took place in Gunnar's homeland and Moose wanted him to feel at home. They did a marvelous music number as entertainment as Pengu helped prepare endless amounts of fishy dishes for the newly weds to enjoy. Once everyone had eaten, what followed was a wild party full of crazed party games including an accidental round of "pin the tail on the moose" which almost led to Melvin reverting to his more murderous ways.

Prompt 1

All seems to be going well at the wedding of Ben Jammin and Kev Kevens - despite the age gap, the two found love and planned an immaculate wedding. But! During the ceremony, when the two are exchanging vows, the doors burst open and three players barge in. The wedding crashers are none other than Elizabeth Doyle, Mat Smith, and Aksel Fiske. All three claim to ALSO be betrothed to Kev Kevens, and demand that the wedding also include them.

The wedding descends into chaos from there. Fiske brought 3 more cake toppers that he crams onto the cake. Smith, Challenge Cup-winning goalie and supremely talented dog, demands pets from all the attendees. Doyle gets Alexander Roach on the phone and tries to rally him to her cause, but he's miles away at a pub. Jammin somberly trods over to the organ and plugs in his phone to add some tunes to the mess. Kevens tries desperately to get things back on track, but it looks like the wedding will have to be rescheduled.

Prompt 2

Written Task:  What is more tense to be involved in as a player/coach/GM/spectator, a tie game, a game where you are leading by 1, or a game where you are down by 1? Describe all three and decide: what is the most tense you have been watching a close game on stream? (If you haven't watched a stream make something up). Pad your word count until you get to 150+ words.



I have never really considered how a coach might feel in a close game.  I am sure it could be nerve wracking, to say the least.  As a spectator, I really don’t feel any real tension as the game is there to entertain me and feeling tense isn’t part of that.  However, from a player’s perspective, close games provoke a whole gamut of emotions as styles of play.  In the case where a team is leading by 1, a player would feel some tension in not making any mistakes.  Most times players revert to defense first style of play.  In the case of a tie game, a lot of the same emotions are present.  You don't want to make a mistake, but you also have to take full advantage of any and all offensive opportunities.  2 points is always better than 1.  Being behind by a goal promotes a sense of urgency that grows as the time ticks away.  Your style of play becomes offense first as, in a one goal game, a tie is only a shot away.

Prompt 1: I think the perfect royal wedding of two SHL players would be between Jean Uhtred Ragnarsson Tremblay (lespoils’s player) and Gunnar Söderberg (sköldpaddor’s previous payer that just retired). I have seen this love affair blossom in the Chicago Syndicates locker room since the day I joined the team. Supposedly this love affair goes way back to the season where Jean Uhtred Ragnarsson Tremblay was traded to the Chicago Syndicate and helped them win the Challenge Cup. Even after Jean Uhtred Ragnarsson Tremblay asked for a trade out of Chicago for personal growth and development purposes wanting to lead a new team that has never won a cup, the pair still stayed strong. It has also been announced in the SHL media this offseason that the two players are making it official that they are married. This is the first wedding to unite two players of the league since its creation over sixty seasons ago. The two men will now be known as M. and M. Söderberg-Tremblay and will be living in Seattle as Jean Uhtred Ragnarsson Tremblay continues his career while Gunnar Söderberg officially announced his retirement from the shl this past offseason.

The singular greatest wedding event that Melvin had ever attended had to be the Gunnert Wedding. To be fair, it was the only wedding event that Melvin had ever attended, and considering the last time he had ever been to a party it ended in bloodshed, to say he was nervous was a bit of an understatement. The wedding went off without a hitch, and the ceremony was absolutely gorgeous. The closest friends and family of both Gunnar and Jean-Uhtred were there, and it was so very clear that it was true love. As the reception came, however, Melvin grew more and more anxious. Cake is undoubtedly one of his favorite foods in the world, and obviously a wedding cannot be complete without cake. If it weren't for the goodwill and support of his close friend Adelie de Pengu, Melvin wasn't quite sure that he would be able to make it to the cutting of the cake without murder. Fortunately, the couple cut the cake, it was distributed - first to them, and secondly to Melvin (they at least knew of his struggles with cake addiction in the past), and they were able to celebrate and dance the night away.

Welcome to the biggest wedding of them all. The big hurrah between no other than Chimkin Wing and Beeg Yoshi. It's a weird one, you have to admit. A coach and co-general manager of a Simulation Major Junior Hockey League team and the general manager of another Simulation Major Junior Hockey League team. Those two teams of course being the Newfoundland Bersekers and the Anchorage Armada. It was a weird gathering with players from around both the junior and big leagues who attended. The theme of the wedding was of course, Gnome Dabbing. If you're not sure what this theme is, then you probably couldn't afford going to the wedding. The cake was a beautiful chiffon cake with a bavarian custard, strawberry jam, and pistachio duxelle. The toppers on top of the cake, none other than Gnome and Yoshi. For dinner? Octopus and Chicken Wings. What did they wear? Yoshi wore nothing more than Orange boots and Chimkin dressed in a red beanie and blue blazer. If you weren't there, you really missed out. @bdu754 @Ragnar
