Quote:Written Task: The aliens have learned the game thanks to your tutelage, but have now been challenged to a playoff series by General-Khagan Kul'Garath of the Sarris Star Empire. Your team will, perhaps obviously, be at a size disadvantage, but you're very sure the Sarris players have never had a real coach and just watched the movie Goon several hundred times. How will you coach your plucky undersized extraterrestrial friends to victory?

First, I remind them that scouts once said Wayne Gretzky would never make in the NHL due to his small frame and he went on to become the  single greatest hockey player the world has ever seen. I remind them of current undersized stars like Sebastian Aho and  Connor Bedard. If I can I'd love to have Connor come in and teach some drills to the boys.
Secondly I'd love to get some Barry Trotz and  Bruce Cassidy in to help instruct these diminutive aliens  on how to handle big pressure situations and get the core fundamentals down.


Last but not least, I'd run them some legendary games on youtube. Once again getting them use to hig leverage and high pressure situations. They're talent which I assumed they've stolen from various in the NHL Space Jam style  is going to help handle the easy parts of the game without any major concerns. It's just the clutch stuff I have tol teach them. We have the more experienced and arguably talent team in this constenst. Size shouldn't be much of a factor here. Jonathan Marchessault just won the Con Smythe and he's legit listed at 5'9. I don't think height will be much of a factor here.
