Option 2
When the Whalers were down in the final minutes of the fame, Oliver knew that he had to earn the “A” on his chest and lead the boys to victory. He examined the defensive setup of the other roster, noticing that they were cheating towards the defencemen to deter point shots. He turned to player-coach Dextaria, pointing out that there’s an opportunity to insert a puck-mover to jump in, distribute the puck to the forwards and hopefully generate some offence. Fortunately for Oliver, the two other puck movers in the Whalers top four had just come off the ice and would need a break before they could get back out again. Seeing that Oliver had a good point and recognizing the need for a player to stop rushes going back the other way, Oliver got the tap and jumped over the boards to go help his team score the clinching goal.
