Player prompt

I don't get into fights or anythign else at all. I am hardly using twitter since Elon Musk took over and wants to financialize it, so no worries about me going all out on twitter and bashing others for my bad performance. Let's be real, playing hockey is our job. We train hard to do so, and our fans expect us to go out and win. If we have a big stinker game, we deserve to get criticized. It helps noone to go out in the media and start fighting or do anything boneheaded just because we played a poor game. It is much better to continue working hard to not let a game like that happen ever again. We win as a team, we lose as a team and we need to grow stronger as a team. Using the media to bring bad feelings inside or out from us, helps noone and will always be the wrong way. I will just keep my heads up, and keep on working hard. That is what I will also tell the media, no matter how harsh the criticism against my person will be.

Hockey Prompt:

The NHL is kind of a boring league, especially in regards to the top players and showing personality. While there are a few exceptions to this, such as Brad Marchand, who is one of the most entertaining sports figures to follow on twitter, most guys have very little social media presence outside of team sanctioned stuff. I follow a lot of NHL players on twitter and very rarely see anything from ninety nine percent of them. In comparison, every day I see some NBA star get on twitter and start shit talking other teams or other players, it's really entertaining to see all that stuff as someone who is not too into basketball. Stuff like that is great for engagement with the league and I wish it would happen in the NHL more often. It would help to grow the game, which would be very nice since hockey is definitely fallen behind in some of the other sports, thankfully baseball is dying so we dont fall out of the top 4 sports.

Hockey prompt:

While part of me would love to see NHL players with personality who speak their mind, another part of me thinks that it would make me stop watching. The reason for this is because, as we've seen time and time again, many of the players in the NHL are not good people, and when it comes out that they aren't good people, the league doesn't seem to care if they're talented enough hockey players. Like many others with similar worldviews to mine, I have a complicated relationship with hockey where I love the sport and find it extremely entertaining, but the culture around it sometimes makes me not want to tell people I'm a fan. The part of me that thinks that NHL players who show who they really are would make me stop watching doesn't want to know how many of the players I cheer for and idolized as a kid are just spoiled rich kid hockey bros who have never grown up, no matter how entertaining it would be to see Brad Marchand chirping fans on Twitter every night.

Hai Nam Hoang treats losses with the importance that is expected, and that's about it. If something needs to be said to the press, he'll politely let the media know they "need to do better" and that they'll "look for solutions as we move forward", but that will be all the words anyone will get. After that, he and Loosh will likely go to one of many Great Falls pubs, and he will listen to the gripes of his teammate and roommate, and then they will head back to their apartment downtown, and Hoang will take a long shower and go to bed. Losses don't phase him, but they do worry him as it relates to his teammates. If words need to be said, he will say them, but if someone else is the voice in the locker room, as many are in Great Falls, he will content himself by being the rational quiet type.
