Oh no, what a terrible surprise by that not at all omnious and sinister looking rodent. However, I have a very simple solution to this issue that I'm sure our intergalactical lawyers that we've already begun to hire will help us push through. From now on we won't be playing Hockey on Earth anymore, we'll be playing... Schmockey! That's it. That's the whole plan. The game will still be exactly the same, just that it is named differently. And if they come after us claiming that it is still the same game because we are using pucks and goals and a stick, we can tell them "nu-uh, it totally isn't!" because we aren't using a puck after all, we are using... a Schmuck! We have Schmoalies, not Goalies and of course at the end of the season, the winner will be awarded the Schmallenge Cup. It's brilliant in it's simplicity, right? Right???

Prompt 2

Since S65, Baltimore has faced one team (and one team only) in the playoffs. This is our fifth matchup with Atlanta, with us losing every single time. It’s not great, it’s not fun, and we’re tired of it. This is the year we’re finally going to break through, though. Our goalie tandem is the strongest it’s ever been and our young forward crop is rounding into form. We fell into a rhythm during the regular season and were more competitive against the Inferno than we’ve been (2-3-2, with 3 overtime games). If we get a little luck, we think we can sneak past them. The team has been obsessively watching game tape to break down their tendencies to try to get an edge. We know we’re very tough to beat at home, but will have to steal at least one game on the road. If we’re going to win the series, we need to have it look more like the first 50 minutes of Game 1 (2-2 tie midway through the 3rd) and not like Game 2. We know we can play with them—2 seasons ago with a much weaker group, we took a 3-0 lead against them before ultimately losing Game 7. If we pull this out, it’s going to be on the back of hard work and a little luck. Go Toonza!

As negative as it is for me to say, there is no chance that NOLA and Peter Tingle stand a chance against Winnipeg. We have greatly under performed all season, to the point I was on the tanking band wagon. Winnipeg had another dominant season with a stacked roster and hold a huge advantage over us.

Now despite the odds stacked so heavily against us I do want to see our team make it tough for Winnipeg to move on. We want to keep the games close and make them work for every inch of that ice and every goal that they score.

We are two games into our series and yes we are down 2-0 but both games were one goal games which means we are making them work for it. Our Defense and goaltending has been sensational and maybe with our two games at home we can steal a win and make a series out of it.

Its been a long time coming for the Edmonton Blizzard but we are ready to smash all our opponents en route to what is hopefully a challenge cup. Our first match up is against Seattle and no offense to them, but its time to sink their ship with whats hopefully a quick 4 or 5 game series. At the time I'm writing this, we have won our first two games by a combined score of 14 to 1. Our goalie showed up Justin Time for the playoffs and is playing lights out while the same guys that carried all through the season have found another gear and turned it up a notch. Which is exactly what we need and hopefully its sustainable because getting past teams like Chicago and Winnipeg is going to be a serious test for us, and then likely will have to play a very tough team from maybe New England or Buffalo. I believe this team has what it takes though, and the scary part for the rest of the league is we havent even hit our final form yet.

Dear Diary, I would like to let you know that I'm still stuck in space and the last few days haven't been great. The short version is that I'm trying to prevent and intergalatic war between the evil mice and my alien friends over - yes, hockey. The long version..., I don't know where to start. My team of aliens and I, as their coach, will have to come up with an idea to stop Hairy Bettmouse and his dumb PGHL idea. My alien friends and I know that we cannot get Earth involved. Humanity isn't ready for space hockey. The mice are smart, but I'm sure once they learn about FHM and how unpredictable the outcomes are they don't want anything to do with the SHL. As long as I can get the mice to lose their interest in the SHL (and useless goalies) they should lose interest in Earth in general. We will need to discuss that in detail with my little council of alien hockey players, but so far it's looking good. The meeting is in an hour, wish us luck. P.S. Once we're done with all of this and I finally return back to Earth, I'll probably sell the entire story to a film company.

Well Netlfix has forced the show Suits on me (and I feel like it did with everyone - and it really is quite good) so I am going to engage my intergalactic lawyers on their asses. Without some sort of treaty or agreement, how can they tell me I have to abide by their copywrite laws? There has to be a way out of it. If we are honest, if they have copywrite laws that means they have courts to uphold those laws, which means there is a defense for them. I will get Mike Ross on the case and he will find some loophole in their BS argument (if it is not immediately thrown out for having no basis as they can not possibly expect little ol Earth to comply with this). I am not sure which Mike Ross I will get though. It may be early seasons Mike where he finds this awesome workaround and explains exactly how it will work. Maybe it will be mid-seasons Mike where he just makes some shady deals and gets them to drop it. Or late seasons where there is this magic piece of paper that solves the problem but they never really say where it came from or how it solves it. Just wave that sheet in front of the opposing council and they buckle at their knees.

One way or another someone will get LITT UP!

"Run 'em up and fill 'em in."

The alien girls from Planet V, with assistance from a coalition of hockey players and Appalachian survivalists, led a counter-suit against the PGHL and their unfair advertising and escrow practices, overseen by the Federation's Justice Department in a trial that was televised across the galaxy. In a grueling two and a half week trial, cases were made by the members of the SHL, other minor and amateur hockey players, the alien girls of Planet V, and even members of the prior teams that were beaten by the Earthling delegation. The Appalachian survivalists offered coverage of the event back on Earth (no one else even believed it to be true) and Earthlings everywhere rallied to the defense of the SHL and the freedom to play the greatest sport in the broader galaxy and beyond.

Unfortunately, given the relatively small position Earth held on the Galactic Council, they lost the suit handedly, with the PGHL retaining their rights to the sport as a galactic organization. In a rage-fueled act, one of the Appalachian survivalist reporters discharged a rifle in the courtroom and grievously injured PGHL Commissioner Hairy Bettmouse, who was later pronounced dead at Our Lady Peace Hospital in X'ryau. As such, the PGHL disbanded after the death of their commissioner and the SHL's continued existence on planet Earth was all but guaranteed.

As for the alien girls from Planet V? Well, most headed home to spread the good word of the sport of Hockey. But some stayed on Earth and found a new home among the people of Seattle. Legend says you can still find some of the girls from Planet V at local Tekken tournaments, in the spirit of their beloved coach.

And as for that coach? Well, some say that he still vacations to Planet V to see the Alien Girl that stole his heart...

woah woah woah woah woah

The season 73 SMJHL playoffs are upon us again, this will be the last iteration of Alvin Wong's junior career, and his last chance to taste the sweet nectar that is the four star cup. As the captain of the Yukon Malamutes, I am determined to do everything in my power (which is nothing apparently) to sway the sim gods to allow us swift victories over our opponents in the play offs. I will do anything humanly possible (again, nothing) that will help the Malamutes achieve total and complete victory in each series. So far it has been a good start over our geographic rivals, the Anchorage Armada. We are going to ram those boats, board the boats, capture their captain, and then sink their boats. With the captain captures, we will drench them in pee (as is Malamute tradition) and hang them from the rafters for all the league, and especially our next opponents to see. GOD BE MY WITNESS WE WILL WIN THE CUP.

The game against the robots is intense. As the backup is forced in position the game starts again. The captain amazingly wins the faceoff and we all skate up hoping to get into offensive position when suddenly one of the robot dmen check him so hard into the boards that pieces of his alien body are smashed across the glass. The ref blows the whistle and stops play. I rush over to see if I can help. He looks at me and again points to our devices on our gear given to us by the trainers and shows me some kind of sequence before he falls limp. There was nothing to do. He couldn't be saved. A dozen mice come out with a stretcher to scoop and peel him away and clean the ice.

Our coach calls us to the bench. "He was good but we can do without him. Boots? That's your name right? You're the captain now. Have fun. Get back out there and win this game would ya!"
Suddenly horns go off to sound the end of a period but there's still plenty of time on the clock. The robots are dismissed the mouse coaching staff and they all shuffle away. A suited mouse hops on the boards and makes his way over. "This game is over. We've seen enough. We've collected some data and will release the news soon. Retire your team to their training camps. We have much to discuss." He heads back to wherever he came from as we are forced to make our way back to the locker rooms. None of us are quite sure what to think.
As we are all hosed off and most of our equipment collected, a screen appears out of thin air with a mouse speaking. Titled below him was.. PGHL commisioner?
"Good evening to all life forms! We are proud to announce the official launch of the Pan Galactic Hockey League! As our galaxies have now officially formed competitive teams to face each other we will now have regularly scheduled games for the whole galaxy to watch and enjoy!"
What did this mean. The looks on the faces of teammates was not impressed. Boots made his was over to Dangle who had made it through all of this along side him. "We've got to get out of here. We need to get back home. I think I may know of a way to get us out of here." Dangle looked at him and was ready to follow his lead. He was just as done as Boots was with this whole thing.
As the team was preparing to be transported back to their training camp, Boots was well aware that the mice had brought all the teams to this intergalactic stadium for exhibition and testing. During the boarding, Boots and his team were coordinated and ready to escape their captures. They used their devices they managed to keep from the trainers to shoot fireworks to distract them and then physically took them down and took their weapons from them and kicked them off the ship. Boots and the team made their way around in the ship controlled by one of the other aliens on the team and flew away from the stadium. Once distanced far enough, each member of the team stood out on the bridge of the ship and Boots shared the code that was given to him by the previous captain of the team. They aimed their devices towards the stadium and entered the sequence which launched large rays of electricity and lasers. After a short time there was an explosion which set off a chain reaction of damage and other explosions within the stadium. It was enough for them to not have to worry about the PGHL for now. The alien flying the ship made his way from the stadium and began to take everyone home.

Boots and Dangle soon found themselves back on earth. The ship dropped them slowly back down to Boots’ back yard. They both watched the ship fly away and suddenly they had their life back. They both looked at each other and at the same time said,

“Beer?”

No one might ever know or hear about what happened. But Boots and Dangle Would have this intergalactic memory forever.

PLAYER PROMPT: There is multiple reason why we, the Atlanta Inferno, will beat the Baltimore Platoon comfortably during the first round of the S72 SHL playoffs. First of all, we are a way better team than them. We might have finished the regular season with only six more points them, put our goal differential was +78 compared to a pathetic +7 for them. During the regular season, the two teams played against each other seven, we beat them five times, while they could only get the best of us twice. To continue, the Inferno and the Platoon have faced each other in three of the last four playoffs. All these duels took place in the first round, which will be, again, the case this time. The Inferno has won all three of these matchups, which means the Platoon know exactly what to expect when they face Atlanta in the first round, a beating. We know that we are in their head and that they are scared of us from the PTSD of these previous seasons.

We are facing an old time friend that we faced a lot in the last seasons.
After the first 2 games, we are down 0-2. We wanted to surprise them by playing the second goalie in the first game, but that didn't worked out well for us. After putting Dionne in net for the second game, the result was the same. Maybe Dionne was more surprise than the Chicago team since he let some bad goals that shouldn't be in. The team hope that he can get his head back in the game to win the next two games at home.
After getting the two home wins, the series will be even and anything can happen. We had some success against them this season even if they had a great season (even better than us!). The Renegades are a young team with some promising future and everyone in the team are enjoying the victories we had so far, but they want more and we will do everything in our power to pass the Syndicate.

Hugh is just amazed at the amount of support, enthusiasm and love shown to the New Orleans Specters by the SHL community. The first round of the season 72 playoffs includes the match up of the New Orleans Specters versus the Winnipeg Aurora and the SHL community has spoken, as there a total of eleven official complete first round predictions in the playoff predictions point task that predict that the New Orleans Specters will defeat the Winnipeg Aurora. Yes, you read that right eleven votes of confidence in New Orleans Specters and yes one of those votes was from me, not even @JKortesi81 or @Slappydoodle could give New Orleans Specters the love. But Hugh knows they will destroy the Winnipeg Aurora by scoring more goals and moving to the next round. There is nothing else that needs to occur for New Orleans to destroy the Winnipeg Aurora. The Specters just need to score goals.

Written Task: It was all a trick. The mice believe that their project to calculate the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything has finally revealed its answer: the game you've been teaching the galaxy. Using your games as footage, the mice have created enough extraterrestrial fans to found the Pan-Galactic Hockey League.

This sounds like great news, until PGHL commissioner Hairy Bettmouse pulls you aside and informs you that, as he has copyrighted Hockey with the Federation Intellectual Properties Commission, the SHL back on Earth will no longer be allowed to function unless it pays 156% of its gross revenue to the PGHL in fair use fees and defaces its ice and jerseys with alien advertisements at his discretion.

Your alien team won't stand for this. They're willing to fight for the independence of Earth's hockey, and for you, their beloved coach.

What will you do? What's your plan to save the world from an eternity of hockey jerseys with gambling ads all over them? Do you take your team through a season in the PGHL - on the condition that if you win the cup Earth goes free? Do you skate across Bettmouse's mothership hull with magnetic skates and fire a puck down the exhaust port of his communications tower? Do you slingshot around the sun and go back in time? Go nuts. If you've made it this far, you've earned your own ending and I hope you had fun this season!

Well I've gotten this far I might as well see this one to the end.

So the Mice have had a plan all along who knew eh Pinky? This guy, that's right this coach knew they were up to no good and fortunately I was able to dodge their last assassination attempt with those dreaded robots. Now they want to financially cross check us, well no way my sensitive group of Martins is going to tolerate that nonsense. Fortunately Earth has a fantastic history of never bowing down to major corporations. We would never allow our most beloved a cherished games become a source of profit for a select few. I mean could imagine!? What if some wing nut came into our game and started to do asinine things like put digital ads on the boards for television broadcasts, or replace our national broadcasts with network TV affiliates. It's a laughable idea simply to type let alone put into practice! wait....this all sounds familiar....Dammit Bettlemouse...Fine *sigh*...... where is my Sportsnet Now subscription.
