Option 2:

The timeout was called, Leo sat on the bench as the Syndicate were losing with so little time left. The rational thing would be to put your best attackers on the ice but Leo got a second to speak to the coach
“We pull the goalie, we lose the puck once it’s over, put me me in I can play a defending role while the other 5 attack”
“No we need all the attackers on the ice”
“Listen. Like I said. One turnover and we lose: you know me. I do not lose the puck and if someone else loses it I get it back. If I don’t I can stop the puck if it goes near our goal. Stop acting like I can’t help on attack too.”
The coach looked at him. Putting a defensive player on the ice during 6v5 was risky, you’re losing an attacker but it makes it less likely you lose instantly when the puck gets turned over. The coach caved an let Leo onto the ice. Did they win this game? Use your imagination.
