Are you going to fight with the ref? Or do you resign yourself to taking an undeserved penalty? Write some dialogue! Are you hot-headed or respectful? Is your player a veteran that has a long relationship with some of the leagues refs? Are they a young player that's not afraid to tell it like it is? IF YOU'RE A GOALIE: same question but different scenario: how do you talk to the ref about players hacking at you after the whistle? (150+ words)

*skates hitting the ice* *a long whistle*
"What do you think you're doing!?" Shouted the referee towards the Los Angeles Panthers goalie Olof Karsikko.
"What do you mean what am I doing? I'm making a damn play over here bucko, why'd you whistle it down!?" Said Olof in response to the heated looking referee.
Ref: "You've got no right to skate that far away from the net "pal".. "
Olof: "Who says so? I've never heard of a rule like that. Make it up yourself, did ya?"
Ref: "Okey pal you're going to the box, no one disrespects me like that"
Olof: "Oh yeah? Well I saw what you were wearing before you got suited up and I gotta say, you've got no style old man."
*a quick sudden whistle*
Ref: "Game misconduct! You're out the game!"
Hearing those words come out the refs mouth made Olof absolutely seethe with rage. He jumped towards the ref and cut his throat with his blade that he detached from his skate.
The referee started twitch around, but couldn't move because Olof was laying on top of him. He bled to death right there and then, with the whole world watching.
Scruffy the LAP mascot ran to the ice with a gun and shot Olof and that's when our hero woke up from his deep slumber and realized this was all a dream.
