i think pinli is most likely to get jumped by a big evil guy on the opposing team that wants a chance to beat a small guy into a pulp. pinli definitely would not win that fight, but he wouldn't back down easily. i think it would end up sparking the argonauts in a sort of "beloved main character is brutally slaughtered by the evil bad guy" kind of way though. like pinli puts up a good fight but ends up bleeding and lying on the ice, and while he's taken off he gives his teammates a knowing nod that boils their blood and makes them want to destroy the guy that did that to pinli. everyone then goes into a crazy rage and scores 6 straight on the opposing team while injuring multiple players with good clean hits. then after the game they come back to find pinli sitting up in bed, bleary eyed, and he says "did we win?" and then the team, gathered around his bed, all say in unison "we won pinli, we won it for you". then everyone hugs and the credits roll. im not sure how we get credits to roll in real life but that's a minor detail.
