OPTION 2
I will convince the coach to take a time-out and allow me to draw a set play for the team. I have been planning for this moment for a while, developing the ultimate Hail Mary play for exactly this kind of a situation. This play has been tested multiple times in practice, and it has worked almost every time. The play is to get posession of the puck, then take the puck behind our goal, pull the goalie and go for 6 skaters. Then one player takes the puck and the other five players form a protecting circle around the player with the puck. They will protect the player and the puck at all costs. This is such a surprising method, that the defending team won't figure out a way to break it until it's too late, and refs will also be too baffled to call penalties on the "bodyguards" even if they break the rules. The team will then skate as a tight group to the opposing end, until they are in front of the goal, which is when they open up the circle and have the player one-on-one against the goalie with players on both sides ready for a one-timer. Sure goal.
