My player tries to avoid being a pest the majority of the time, however he definitely has the gene in him to stir things up. Little things like a cheeky slash to the top of the skate after the whistle if you are standing close to our goalie, or a subtle cross check to the lower back after the whistle. Being as big as he is, he can keep pretty much any player at arms reach with a face wash or even a head lock. Best part about my player is he laughs the entire time he does it. One time, during the postseason (which is really the only time he tries to get away with things like this), he was drinking water during a commercial break and a-la Corey Perry, filled up one of his opponents gloves with water while they left them sitting on the boards. It got quite a laugh from the Argo’s bench when he went to put the gloves back on, and it caused a very violent reaction from the player with soaked gloves. Either way, doing things like this is gamesmanship, and during the playoffs is really where it belongs in my eyes.
