Game 7, the season on the line, and Ubba Lodbrok, center for the Philadelphia Forge of the Simulation Hockey League, former prospect for the Anchorage Armada of the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League, is antsy. He has a gut feeling that he and his line will score and tie the game up before the end of the period. Which is, looks at the jumbotron, 2 minutes left. Luckily there was an offsides call and the coach called time out as it happened. You'd think that the top forward line of Cale, Ricky and Graj would be on the ice for this last push, or even the 2nd line of Gnabe, Tony and Barg. But no, Ubba says the top two lines are gassed and have been out there the past 8 minutes combined. It's time for some fresh blood to get this game tied up, and maybe even won. Some how, some way, the coaches listen and Ubba goes out there with Leonard and Marek and they tie the game up and send it to OT. That's Charizzma

Option 2

Game 7 with 2 mins left down 1? I 100% need to be on the ice to stop any empty net goal being scored. I would jump up and down for coach to put me in there, screaming like a savage maniac. Its that dawg in me, when game is on the line i need to be out there win or lose! The plan of attack of course is the "Flying V" formation. Starts with Dash, passes to Mclovin, passes to Hugo, Passes to slava, a pass to Elly and back to Slava for the Game tying goal! Works every time in the clutch. I knew this would work due to the opponents weak fore checking and neutral zone play over committing. Coach has a lot of confidence in our abilities and team work. It did not take much convincing that this work out and he showed that fait in us to get the job done and send this game to OT

option 1: Lias doesn't need to eat a specific meal before he goes and plays hockey, but like, how is he going to turn down some weird fascinating dude coming up to him like that? He's played enough video games to know a cool side quest when he sees one. So he makes up some food that he needs in order to play. He says it's meatballs, because that seems believable. The man does indeed produce a plate full of meatballs. Lias asks the man to help him eat the meatballs, because he's curious but he's not stupid, he's not going to just chow down on a bunch of food from a stranger. He and the man enjoy a meal of meatballs together, and while eating, they talk. At first they talk about nothing in particular, but then the discussion gets pretty deep; he talks about his hopes and dreams and his career coming to an end and the peace he needs to make with that, and by the end of it, he feels very centered and focused. The man vanishes, and Lias realizes that the true gift that was given to him was a chance for introspection. He goes out and plays a very good hockey game.

2 minutes left in a game 7 down 2? Of course its a no brainer that the coach would pull the goalie for a player advantage. This means players that are skilled at faceoffs and more offensive would be on the ice. Although Kevin Kim is not the number one most offensively skilled player, he sure is great at faceoffs with an almost 60% win percentage in his faceoff wins in the playoffs, he knew that the coach would put him in for the faceoffs. In addition, even though as said above, Kevin is not the best goal scorer, but he is surely one of the best playmakers in his team just behind players like star players like Meta Knight, this could be another positive that Kevin could have to be on the ice in the last 2 minutes. Ultimately, there would be not much arguments against the coach to make him play in the last 2 minutes.

Nash's pregame ritual of a bowl of kibble, a few treats and a spoonful of peanut butter is cancelled for today, due to some lost baggage on the way to Minnesota. One of the new trainers who as just hired has offered Nash something that he has never had before. One of those meals from the farmers dog subscription service that nobody out there can really afford. It looks like New Orleans is putting their best foot & wallet forward to help Nash out here. The food is so delicious that Nash manages to eat it in 1/4 the time it takes for him to eat his bowl of kibble. The trainer manages to use this extra time well and help Nash stretch out, and take some extra shots on in the training area before the game. After finally winning the game, Nash goes over to thank Joe for helping Nash out and Joe is absolutely befuddled. The team didn't hire anyone to help or take care of Nash before the game. Nobody knew who this guy was... Time to go on the missing connections board to see fi we can get them back!

Option 1: Simo would love to say that he has no pre-game rituals and that he thinks superstition is a crutch held onto by the weak-minded. This is a lie. For every single game since he turned about 15, Simo has eaten the same, very simple thing - a ham and cheese sandwich on pre-sliced white bread. It is nutritionally not worth discussing and it is a child's meal but that's superstition for you, and when he just can't find the bread it rattles him. He's yet to force Edmonton into doing anything out of the ordinary to keep him in meat and dairy but there was one member of the Falcons organisation who had, among the many jobs on their list, the responsibility to make sure Simo had everything he needed for the pre-game sandwich.

Until during the fateful Four Star playoffs during glorious Season 74. Quebec had just won twice to force a game six and the momentum felt like it was on their side, and Simo's sandwich supervisor was unexpectedly sick. The scramble to find the ingredients on the road turned up bread and cheese, but no ham...until into the murky darkness of a back-arena corridor approached a Mysterious Stranger, bearing a platter of cold cuts and offering them to Simo on the promise that, win or lose, Simo would go out of his way to physically brutalise as many of the Citadelles as he had plausible deniability for. Stuffing his sandwich with some fine capicola, Simo rammed the entire thing into his face and shook the stranger's hand, pledging to be as violent as Basil the Second after the Battle of Kleidion with slightly fewer blindings.

The end result: A magnificent win for Detroit, a crashing loss for Quebec City and 27 PIM for Simo. Every one of them worth it.

Written Option 2

My exact words to my coach would be: "Coach, put me, Valentine, and Diehm, right now." I feel like our coach has seen enough of what we can do to willingly let us go out there and give it our best shot... We would work our buts off for that goal to give us a chance at winning the game to keep our season going. And on the off chance he decides to not let us go out there, we will just hop on anyways. During a whistle we would jump the boards and call the others off, or if the play moves to the neutral zone we would call our other team mates off to let us out there. What's the worst that can happen? We get scored on and our season is done. Coach will forget about it by the time next season rolls around. Or we score a goal and end up winning the series... It has much more of a plus side then a down side.

Quote:For skaters:
It's game 7, 2 minutes left in the 3rd and are losing 4-3. You haven't had the most stellar game but you have a feeling in your gut that if you're on the ice for the next 2 minutes, your team will score a goal. How do you convince your coach to make sure you get put out there? Do you have a plan of attack? Did you find a weakness in the opponent's gameplan? Do you just tell your coach to trust your hunch?

I would not.

That is not to say that convincing a coach to do something is a stupid idea or anything like it but in such a key moment, you should rather trust whoever is behind the bench as it is their job to figure out what to do in such a circumstance. Besides, team sports are not individual spotlight contests - if the manager chose things in a certain way, they probably had good reason to do so.

One could help, however, by passing along what they have noticed from the opponent's side and what they think would be a good way to get an advantage over them. By simply being charitable enough to give whatever input you can muster to a unified effort, you are very likely to see more success than, say, trust your instincts and go for broke. Life is not StarFox 64 and it would be better if people understood that sooner than later.

Rip thunderdome 2013-2023 really isnt a good hockey player. I mean, its tough to be good at a sport played solely by humans when you are an tombstone animated by the spirit of a forum section. So since RIP TD isnt a great player, he has a hard time getting on the ice as GM and Coach Dwight Knight is unwilling to sacrifice team success to please the fallen thunderdome. However, its pretty easy to stay out on the ice once you get out there. Since RIP TD doesnt expect to get any shifts within the last 5 minutes of a close game, when RIP TD hits the ice for his final shift around the 6 minute mark, he simply just won’t come off the ice, even if the coach is yelling for a change. He will conspire with his teammates to make sure that there are no whistles to break up the play to force him back to the bench

Thanks to @karey and @JSS for the sigs!

Option #2
Kristian Seppanen, the star right handed, right defenceman for the Atlanta Inferno hockey team in the Eastern Conference of the Simulation Hockey League, otherwise known as the SHL, an online simulation hockey league where users roleplay as hockey players, would convince the coach to pull the goalie and run Kristian Seppanen, the right defenceman, as the sixth attacker on the ice. Kristian Seppanen would convince the coaches, hotdog and micool132, to let him go out on the ice without a goalie because of his superb sixth sense to block shots when out on the ice. In function, Kristian Seppanen may as well be a goalie who is also allowed to skate past half ice and contribute to the offence. Therefore, Kristian Seppanen would be able to use his strong passing and extremely clutch goal scoring (albeit, terrible goal scoring unless it counts) to help the team score a clutch goal and tie the game, and later in the game, winning it.

Ongo Gablogian always has time for his pregame meal and ritual. Look at him. He is 4 feet 8 inches tall and pushing 300 pounds. He always has food on deck and always makes sure he can eat. The Carolina Kraken nutritionist made sure to educate Ongo on the types of foods he should be taking in. Carbs to perform, fats for mental acuity, and protein to recover. Ongo, of course, took that as carbs in the form of sugar and fast food, so he makes sure to eat seven tacos from Taco Bell before every game. He took the fats as actually being fat, so he makes sure he is a literal bowling ball out on the ice, and protein is for meat heads so who cares. His post game meal is seven more tacos from Taco Bell. As far as rituals go, as long as Ongo has time for a couple sips or torpedo juice, he will be in game form.

Pork Tenderloin would absolutely take this man up on his offer. Though it may be mysterious and suspicious that a stranger is offering food and assistance to them it is something that Pork Tenderloin would genuinely appreciate. The quickest way to get to the heart of Pork Tenderloin is to offer him food. Food is the one thing he can appreciate above all else. Before every game Pork Tenderloin sits down and eats a hearty meal of Tonkatsu with a big heaping pile of shredded cabbage on the side. You might think it's weird that Pork Tenderloin would indulge in eating some of his own kind, pork, however it is what actually fuels him and allows him to train harder and play longer than most other people on the ice. After the meal Pork Tenderloin goes on the ice and allows his teammates to take shooting practice on him for 20 minutes in order to properly tenderize the meat. This kind stranger could easily assist with that endeavor.

This is another situation where I love finding Jack St. Clair in. Obviously I'd rather be up 4-3 and preventing the comeback, but for JSC it gets the heart going because this is an opportunity to be the hero and that's his favourite role. There is no better time to shake off what's already happened, tighten the laces, retape the stick, whatever it is that gets the bad juju out. I don't believe that the coach wasn't already planning to send out St. Clair, but Jack tells the coach that he needs EGGWARD Elric out there with him. The chemistry they have on the ice will allow the play to just unfold and they will read it as it happens. They know where to find each other which makes them very deceptive and I wouldn't doubt they don't just tie the game up in those two minutes but also get the game winning goal.
