With the third period ending and the score still a 0-0 tie. Both teams head to their respective locker rooms for a quick pow-wow. Your coach emphatically points at a white board and draws a lot of lines towards the opponents goal. Yah you get it... attack, attack, attack. Has he been on the same ice as you? All you've been doing is attempting to attack.

That goalie is a brick wall tonight and it's going to take something special to break through that iron defense that is being shown in this game 7. The coach then says that he has a plan.

He's been watching the game really closely (as he should be) and he thinks that there is a dman on the other team who is playing with an injured foot. If we can isolate that dman and one other and force a 2 on 2 situation then that might give us the best chance we have to score and close out this game for good.

He picks yourself and 3 other offensive players to be designated as being ready for the rush. With a big hoorah! Your team exists the locker room to take their positions on the ice again.

In the first few minutes, the play looks exactly the same as it did the past three periods. Both teams are showing an incredible defense with shot blocks and great positioning. Neither team can get the edge and the fatigue is starting to show.

On one of your shifts on the bench, the other team gets into a 2v1 chance that is blocked by one of your teammates diving to the ice and taking the puck square in the ribs. Play is halted while he is brought back to the bench after a struggle to get up, You are a bit incesnsed.

Play resumes with you on the ice. After the faceoff you step a bit back to be ready to go. Suddenly your teammate strips the puck from one of the attackers and fires a pass your way. The 2v2 situation is happening!

Another teammate rushes for the attack and is slightly ahead of you:

Pass to your teammate and follow up
