Elite simulation hockey league centre man Red Kirkby of the Philadelphia Forge is often in the thick of things being one of the best players on his team. This season the forge have had an especially potent special teams and being on the first unit has allowed Red to spend a lot of time perfecting his set plays along with the other guys on the tkp unit. One of the units favourite plays involves stretching the coverage in the zone by moving the puck quickly around the perimeter utilising the left winger and RD along the half boards, the centre down low and the point man in the middle of the blue line. The right wing, in this case Red Kirkby hovers in between the hash marks being a general nuisance. Once the defense are suitably stretched out the RD slings the puck across the ice, Red Kirkby dummies a slapper which opens up the shooting lane for the left winger. However the left winger only shapes to slap shot instead slap passing to the back post where the centre is there to tuck it in.

Option 2:

My personal favorite set play is when I pass it across to my vastly superior D-partner and they lead the breakout while I sit patiently and wait for the zone entry. While all this happens, I slowly glide my way up the ice and time my entrance into the zone, get a good stretch going to limber up. Meanwhile, the dman completely ignores the worthless bumper play at the blue line and carries it themself. Then a drop pass to the forward who has no option but to panic at the thought of being on the blue line and will inevitably huck the puck across the line perfectly to me, where I unleash an absolute piss missile towards, but not necessarily on, the net. Then the center, who is ideally one of the two competent players on the ice along with my d-partner who had to do the puck moving, tips that thing into the net and gets me a primary assist.

Offensive set plays are not usually my forte, but there are a few instances game to game where I get on the ice and have the opportunity to make an impact on the scoresheet. Being defensively minded, any time that the coaching staff sends me out for an offensive zone start, I’m excited to try and make the play.

My favorite set play is a 5 on 5 play that we established last year. The center wins the draw straight back to my defensive partner who walks toward center ice. My job is to flank down the boards on my side to get open on the rotation. As the opposite side winger works their way up the boards cross ice, it tends to pull the attention of the far side winger and defender up ice. As I flash down the wing, our center drives far side post and it is usually a quick saucer pass from me to set up a tap in. I love facilitating for my teammates and this is an easy execution for a guy like me with a limited offensive skillset.

Written Task:
Your player has created a new analytics stat for the local hockey blog that you worked with earlier this season. What's the stat, how does it work, and which team is best at it? The stat does not have to make sense or have practical real-life analytical use, just have fun.

Seamus likes to play a physical game, it is no surprise that when looking up stats to expand upon in a certain magazine, he advocated for a slightly different kind of stat. This one happens to be how many times a goalie has knocked the net off the ice to how many games they lose. He likes to call it off-net/loss percentage. So what is so surprising? Everyone knows that players can have a certain toxicity about them. A net off the ice is a play blown dead with a possibility of a penalty to the goalie if done on purpose. Yet we see the net knocked off all the time by accident both by players who share a team with the goalie or not. The article was a deep dive into this metric as an exposition on toxicity itself and its contribution to blown games by players who couldn't regain composure.
