With my pre-scout completed of my opponent it is pretty obvious that they do not have any other back up plan. They are one hundred percent committed to being physical through the entire game, and dominate humanity through sheer size and strength. Having a good grasp on hockey on earth, I know that the dead puck era and the amount of hooking, hitting, holding, and altogether physical game will be what they are looking to replicate. This can only really be avoided through one method: paying off the refs. It is another one of humanities great sports achievements to put every result in question through a string of historically significant corruption scandals, and seeing no real way to get around it here, paying off the refs is really the only sure-fire way to avoid a beating. Sure, we could try to move the puck quickly, play with speed, try to out-tempo our opposition, but if the refs lean in their favor at all, who knows what kind of travesties they would get away with. It's not worth the risk, even if we are only paying the ref off to avoid the worst of it, we just need to guarantee the game is refed fairly after all and we should come out on top with our talent alone.
