Option 2:

Robo Sven has a pretty good relationship with his coaches. They are very aware of the capabilities of his modifications and trust him completely. When Robo Sven taps his coach on the shoulder and tells him to take a time out, he knows that Sven is cooking, and he always lets him cook. Sven is constantly recording games in real time and running simulations to maximize the chances of scoring a goal both when he is on and off of the ice. So when they're losing 4-3 and the game is on the line, he's running hundreds of simulations and calculating the best chances of scoring the equalizer. He taps the coach on the shoulder and sends the signal, which leads to a quick timeout while Sven hurriedly scratches the play on the tablet for the rest of his teammates. Of course it doesn't always work since there's no perfect way to predict the future, but as evidenced by the Whaler's record this season, it does work more often than not.
