S72 PT#5: The Worst of All Possible Worlds

Ok this is honestly all getting a little bit crazy. Commissioner Bettmouse has lost his mind. Maybe he wasn’t all really there to begin with, but whatever, the goal remains clear, we need to save earth from being taken over and thrown into this intergalactic mess. And how will we do that? The same way that we’ve always done it. Doing what we do best - playing hockey. There’s no substitute, no need to go back to the drawing board. We need to stick to our guns and do what we know. It’s time to take our team through a season in this league. We will wear a bunch of ads on our jerseys for one season if it means earth can never be involved in this craziness. And yes I know we have to win, but when our team is focused and locked in like this, there’s just no beating us. I believe in my team through and through, and we will free earth and keep it safe!

The Yukon Malamutes are going to annihilate and demolish the Vancouver Whalers during the playoffs this season. Why? How? Those are very good questions. For starters, the Malamutes have their star player Theodore Svatos. He can score more than anyone else, out skate anyone imaginable, and shit talk on another level. The Whalers are not ready for what Svatos can bring. Add that onto our deep defensive core and we are unstoppable. We can hit harder, faster, and more often. We can block what little shots the Whalers can accomplish. The Malamute defense can take away more pucks then you can count, while not giving many away. Not to mention the rest of the forwards that support Svatos in his goal scoring. This player are smarter, faster, and the hardest working people you will ever see. All of this is how the Yukon Malamutes are going to kill the Vancouver Whalers (save the whales).

Player Prompt:

New England made the playoffs this season and are going to demolish the competition all the way to the finals and win the cup. We are going to do this because we are the number one team in the league and finished first the season backing up why we are going to be a dominating force in the playoffs. The way we are going to dominate is by scoring a lot of goals with Ivan Lacksamus, Paul Koivu, and Jayson Aittokallio who were our top three goal scorers during the regular season. Another way we are going to dominate is with one of the top goalies in the league Olof Karsikko who had 39 wins and a save percentage of .895 in the regular season. We also have a lot of supporting players on the team who contribute in their own ways all the way from the first line of forward to the last line of defense. Everybody on this team has contributed, and if we can play as a team and do what we did during the regular season, we should have no problems moving forward in the playoffs and winning the cup this year.

Texas has had Chicago's number consistently all season long. Well okay, there was a 7-0 loss back in the third game of the season, but we were still getting the rookies incorporated and figuring out the lines. (And did we ever *really* figure out the power play?)

But then we rattled off three in a row against them! And yes, there was another 7-0 loss at one point, because some nights you just don't have it and some nights the whole team gets a little sick because they are too many buffalo wings or deep dish pizza or a little bit of both. So I'm not even sure that actually counts as a game, to be honest.

Ultimately, the Renegades will win their first round series against Chicago because we've learned to play as a team, except maybe on the power play. As long as we don't lose any game 7-0 or eat any buffalo wings or deep dish pizza or any combination of the two.

Written Task: If your team made the playoffs, write 150+ words explaining why and how you're about to demolish your opposition. If your team made the playoffs and is eliminated in the first round before you complete this task, write it as if playoffs had not yet began and your outcome were still possible.

The New England Wolfpack were the surprise winners of the presidents trophy this season. On paper we're the 4th strongest team in terms of average TPE. On the ice we're a force to be reckoned with. A core that's already won a cup full of players just hitting their peak, an expert general manager who makes the right trades and keeps us relevant, and a new coach who took luck out of our lines and breathed new skill. We're a full frontal offensive team with a d line that puts in the body count. You cannot stop us from taking it to the net and Montreal doesn't know what is coming to them. Ever since they took us down that first playoffs in s68 we've been waiting for them as a Wolfpack can.we are ready to tear them up and spit them out as we aim for the greatest achievement in hockey again.

hey so uh I haven’t done a point task in a few weeks and this shit escalated apparently. Mice? Hairy Bettmouse? Galactic sponsorships or something? I think I get the gist of what is happening. Basically what I would do is assemble a team of SHL all stars and tell Shitmouse or whatever his name is that I’ll wager his best can’t beat our best and if we win, we don’t have to pay that absurd tax or whatever it is. Here’s the twist: while we’re up in the press box watching the game, I stab the absolute dog shit out of this dude with a sharpened pretzel stick. Long story short, I basically have started an intergalactic war of which earth is definitely going to lose and we’re all basically doomed to either be vaporized or enslaved by an alien race. But hey, no more hockey tax, am I right fellas?

PLAYER PROMPT

This is the first time ever in my entire SHL career that I've been on the regular-season league-leading team. I've been here nearly ten years, and it has only now happened. That boosts my confidence enough on its own when considering the playoffs and the cup itself. When you achieve that level of success in the season, its smooth sailing into the playoffs; it feels like you belong. Even if the worst comes to pass and we're eliminated, it still feels rewarding every step we make forward on our way. This Wolfpack team is an incredible group, still hot off the heels of our 28 game cup, and while the 16 game cup may be out of reach by now, anything is possible. Also, it would be super romantic to continue winning cups with the Wolfpack, as they were my first team and look to be one of my last as Petr is still clicking after a few seasons of regression.

Player prompt:

We did get swept by Atlanta in the first round so in reality we are out. But for the sake of the task we are still in and we are going to destroy them. I will work on frustrating their defense, most notably angus mcfife. If I can figure out how to break through the defense I can light them up and make it quick for us. They were the better team in the regular season so they get home advantage, we would just need to win one of games one or two to put the pressure on, then we can win both at home game three and four to put them on the ropes. This is all hypothetical of course because we lost to them in four. But I can apply this to next season because if history repeats itself we will be facing Atlanta in the first round yet again. Been like three or four seasons in a row now so it feels inevitable

Prompt 1

Trevor Lahey was astonished to learn that it was all a ruse to steal this beautiful game and turn it into a cash grab, He wishes he could go back in time and do things differently, but that's not possible.  Trevor has to make this right; he can't let these little rats get away with this.  1st, Trevor attempts to reach out to the intergalactic legal counsil to argue that the PGHL copyright claim was unfounded and unjust. Earth had been around for centuries, long before the mice's deceptive calculations.  After what felt like an eternity, they ruled in favor of earth, and that it would remain an open source sport and the PGHL would have one control over the league.  But It wasn't over yet, Bettmouse challenged Earth to one more game, an all-star game between earths best and the universe's best, winner takes all.  I think we've seen this game a few times so far, so it should be no surprise that earth wiped the floor with the aliens.  Hairy Bettmouse conceded but said this wouldn't be the last time we would face off against each other.

the Carolina Kraken have made the playoffs and are on to the second round. taking a look at how they got there may come as no surprise to anyone who has kept up with the team in the past handful of seasons. the Kraken are sort of known for being able to just make things work and get by however they can, plugging players in wherever they need them. they are a team you can never count out regardless of what level you may think they should compete at. while they can attribute a lot of their success to their coaching, another big part of that success comes from having an amazing batch of sophomore players. you can find names like Lazer Gato, Westley Kirkpatrick, Sith Happens, and others among the greats in the junior league… making a huge impact in just their second season. whats even more exciting is that these players still have time to develop, which should make Carolina an absolute force for seasons to come.

Alright, so it seems that some clever space alien mice are trying to steal the great sport of hockey and make it there own... nuh uh, we the great people, moose's, Meta creations, and everything else of the SHL will not let this fly. I'm taking the team that has been constructed to this "space league" and we're about to lay the smackdown on each one of their tiny little space mouse's candy asses! It may not be easy, but I have no doubt that our background and knowledge of the sport of hockey will be enough to overcome these rodents. Coach Gibbles has instructed that we just shoot their entire team into the net. We may take some penalties but there's no way that they'll be able to handle the physicality. Danny Foster is actually planning on taking 3 fighting majors per game, you would have to believe that is bad news for the space mice. Years from now people will praise the work done by us SHLers as we fulfill our duty to keep hockey in the SHL.

I am going to round up my superstar level team of alien misfits and we are going to do a one game takes all for the galactic rights to ice hockey. It's going to be a space jam style game except this time the aliens are the good guys so we're actually going to have the plot support needed to win the game. We're going to call in the reinforcements of Ryuuji Minamino and Mats Marner to play for our team - the ageless wonders are legends of the game and will ensure that the other team is quaking in their boots and unable to focus on the game before them. They're also two of the more clutch players in the league, you win big games when they're on the ice so the plan will be to play them until their aging bodies decide that the game of hockey is too far beyond them to continue to skate around and tickle twine.

The Baltimore platoon does not negotiate with aliens. We will bunker down in our fort and fight. Or arena is an actual fortress, this cannot be breached by some mere aliens. We will invite all other teams to join the cause and make the platoons bunker our main base of operations. We will reach out to the United Nations and ask for their support and request they back the SHLs cause. We will push back the intruders and show them what true SHL players are made of. We will have our brightest minds working on ways to take down the aliens communications. Cause panic and chaos with the confusion in their ranks. That is when we will send out our enforcers to strike, each team will command their very own space battle armadas. All fleets will be designed after their teams mascot and colors. The platoon will lead the charge into space pushing back our alien foes with aid from our alien Allie’s. We will then negotiate peace after our true strength is shown to the enemy and will ensure that all life forms can play hockey wherever they are without terrible tariffs imposed on them.

Written Task: If your team made the playoffs, write 150+ words explaining why and how you're about to demolish your opposition. If your team made the playoffs and is eliminated in the first round before you complete this task, write it as if playoffs had not yet began and your outcome were still possible.
If your team did not make the playoffs, describe how your team got screwed out of a playoff spot: by scheduling, by the league, by the hockey gods/FHM, or by me personally - list not inclusive. Be as conspiratorial and paranoid as possible.
If your team was actively tanking, or you'd just prefer this option, write about how your team got screwed out of the best lottery odds.

The Barracuda are going to absolutely beat the crap out of New England for a few reasons, but the most important reason is this: they aren't ran by Michael Fitted. With his multimedia conglomerate the Fitted Hockey Network, the Tampa Bay Barracuda are given an advantage over all media coverage of the series. This should be enough to completely deflate the inferior team, but it's not enough. If Tampa is known for one thing, it's not playing up to their opponents, but rather dragging the other team down to their level and beating them with experience (Mark Twain would be proud). With big bruisers and heavy hitters, their bench should be sparser and the Tampa penalty boxes should be full (this will not have any negative repercussions in the slightest). Some say things like "skill" and "a higher score than the other team" wins games, but I say nay, it's character.
