Javelin would call his local connections of former Blizzard players. This wouldn’t account for the whole team, but I’m sure he could muster 3-5 players from past Blizzard greats. For goaltender, it’s only fitting that you’d call the Zamboni driver to get in the net. The remainder of the players would have to be a conglomerate of some fans and any local beer leaguers Javelin may know. With the selection of Blizzard greats I’d have little to no doubt that we’d hold on to a 6-3 lead. It would mostly be about limiting the ice time of the non SHL players and line matching to ensure they’re playing against the weaker competition on the opposing team. Unfortunately if your goaltender is bad you may just be out of luck. So without a good goaltender selection it wouldn’t matter much. Javelin would certainly be logging heavy minutes and doing his best to lock down defensively and not allow many opportunities. That would be the main goal of the entire team.
So, game day, first round of playoffs, and the whole team is eating pre-game. Elliot Alderson is running late, misses the appetizers, which, turns out, is a major win because halfway through the third, everyone else is suddenly urging to go to the bathroom. Food poisoning. The refs, bless their hearts, give him an hour to find enough bodies to finish the game with a 6-3 lead and ten minutes left.
He’s gotta think fast. Maybe the athletic trainer? Turns out, she played college hockey. Ok good! Then, the equipment manager, surprisingly agile, used to play juniors. Even better! Even the social media manager, who played in high school, steps up. The Zamboni driver’s ready to cheerlead from the bench.
Two guys from the crowd shows up ready with their skates and sticks. With the staff filling in the gaps, it’s not the best team, but it’s a crew. The game plan? Keep it simple: D up, clear the puck, protect the lead. It’s all adrenaline and sheer panic, but somehow, some way, this motley crew manages to hold on for the final ten minutes. Elliot is then named the hero of Detroit and Captain Falcon for a day.
Written option 2:
It's crazy to me that the prompt would list a couple of teams but not list the Seattle Argonauts. Outside of maybe the Manhattan rage, the Seattle Argonauts had one of the biggest Seasons year over year. Seattle has been on a long journey, ever since they're back-to-back cups where the previous management team sold out to achieve those cops. The Seattle Argonauts have been stuck near the bottom of the standings having some of the worst records season after season. However the rebuild that started mostly in season 74 75 is now seeing the team come out of their slump. Some people may say they are sleeping giant and this season they are just getting started. The team is not even yet entered their pride and had finished fifth this season, their offense is soon to be top five leaving only their defense to catch up on the tpe rankings. Seattle is one of the best earning teams per season in tpe and will continue to grow the rankings of average tpe per team. I think we can consider Seattle another team to perform well next season.
As it happens, Elaina Beneski has been preparing for this exact scenario for ages. It's the sort of thing you just know will happen to you at some point in your life.
First, she's going to need a center. Every goal scorer lives and dies by her center, and Elaina is no different. Luckily, she has just the guy. He's fast, he's in great shape, he's a master of the setup, he's sponge worthy. I'm talking about Jerzi Seinfelicki, formerly of Warsaw.
Next, we're going to need an energy guy for the opposite side. We need a guy who can crash the boards and force the defense to send that puck off like an old man sending back soup- that's Giorgiy Costanzov.
We'll need a big stay at home guy who can defend - that's Kosmo Kramerev.
Lastly, we need someone who can lug the mail- none other than Newman!
Trevor lahey is not the type of person that misses a meal, but today, when the team decided to eat lunch together in celebration of the playoffs, Trevor somehow didn’t get the memo. It would help if he checked his phone from time to time, but Trevor is very old school, he believes if it’s important, then it should be a phone call! Not a text message! Well this time it worked out in his favor because the whole team got food poisoning, right in the middle of the 3rd period! Thankfully the refs are allowing Trevor the opportunity to fill the roster with who ever he wants, as long as it’s someone at the rink. They are up 3 points with 10 minutes left, so with that in mind Trevor decides to bring the equipment team/trainers on the ice to close this one out. His reasoning is that these guys are so important to the success of this team, with all the behind the scenes stuff they do that it was time for them to be in the spot light some.
What a horrendous thought, first of all. One of the biggest moments of the season and you have stomach issues. Fantastic. Suffice to say, you have a huge challenge ahead of you. 6-3 honestly seems doable enough even with food poisoning because the players can just throw up and give the opposing team hindrance (just kidding you’d probably get penalized for that) In all seriousness, I would try to call up some minor league players and the Zamboni driver a la the Zamboni driver in real life who served as an emergency goalie and somehow we would grind our way to victory. I would just tell the guys to throw themselves at people and you’ll get through things in enough time to hopefully win. I would tell them that we would worry about the stomach issues later and just focus on winning the game. Finally, I would have the community give water and Gatorade to help replenish any fluids and nutrients barfed up along the way.
Newfoundland Berserkers were better than last season for sure, when it comes to the regular season at least. 10 more points is beeg, yet we still ended up in second place once again. The playoffs were a hard pill to swallow after a dominant first round, but another tough defeat against the Armada, this year even tougher with it being a sweep against us. It sucks because the team was great this year and espeially for myself i had a really good year compared to last year, I more than doubled my points total and went from 19 to 47(!) assists, while still hitting and blocking more than last season.
The only real reason for this could of course be the ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET. We all become strong boys and girls by feeding off of this amazing invention. Next season is hopefully another hot season for the berserkers, depending on what players are still on the team by then. However we all know that if Big Sweg is called up to the beeg league, the ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET is moving on as well, and that means no more strong boys and girls for the minors, sadly.

There can be no doubt that the Panthers didn't have a great season. You might even call it a bad season, given their recent continued success. So what changed for them to cause this unforeseen drop in the standings? They got a little older, thought they are still one of the fittest teams in the entire league, Father Time comes for all players. It was bad enough that not even the breaking out of two of their forwards (Oliver Castillon, Andren Akerson) could carry them to the heights they should have reached. There was also some shuffling of players and a resulting loss of chemistry as a result.
I would expect for a bounce back season coming up. The team is far too good to stay this bad for more then a single season. With an infusion of new blood in Brooklyn Physt and others, you'll see the Panthers rounding back into their old form as Cup contenders.

For the New Olreans Specters, Lyle Odelein IV, the biggest difference between this seasons and lasts, is that the rookies from last season have a full year of SHL experience on their resumes. The 2nd year players are all trying to build on their first seasons, both on and off the ice. Their improvement has helped this team get back to the top of their division, having just won the division at the end of the season. They may not have quite hit their ultimate goal, winning the Challenge Cup, but with yet another season down for these three players, gives them the know how and knowledge to help them mentor and guide the next incoming batcth of Speters rookies. These player only want one thing, to help get this team back to the top of the SHL and they will keep trying to improve to get there. Only time will tell if they will achieve this goal.
Written Option 1: Rocky Gislason being the lone Raptor on the ice while the whole team is in the locker room puking their guts, is a new feeling for him. Rocky has always been team oriented and loves his teammates. But now he has to find their replacements, and it doesn't seem right. But he has to in order to finish the game with a slight chance of getting the win. Rocky makes a call to the team manager to see if there is anyone in the organization that plays. That will gets some help. The next step is to head down to the local ice rink and talk the manager there and see if there is anyone that can play. Rocky gets a solid group that is enough to finish the 3rd period. It goes about as well as you expected. A lot of puck fumbling. bad passing, and bad positioning. But still Rocky had a good time putting this team together. I'm sure the ones who came out to help will treasure that moment forever.
P1: Tony Soprano knows chaos, but this is next-level. With the refs giving him an hour to find replacements, Tony channels his inner mob boss. First, he calls the local beer league team, Broad Street Brews. Three of their finest—armed with skills, dad jokes, and knee braces—rush to the rescue.
Next, Tony grabs the mic and addresses the crowd: “If you’ve skated before—or even watched Miracle—I need you!” Amid the cheering, three volunteers step forward: a college hockey alum, a beer-league sniper (self-proclaimed), and a guy in a full Flyers jersey who might’ve had a few.
Finally, Tony looks to the rink staff. The Zamboni driver, already in skates, yells, “I’m ready!” and the equipment manager, who hasn’t played since juniors, shrugs and joins.
With 10 minutes left and a 6-3 lead, Tony leads his ragtag crew onto the ice. Somehow, they hang on—though the Zamboni driver scores on his own net. Tony’s new “family” gets the win, but the postgame meal? Strictly gabagool.
