The sports centre top 10 was taken by surprise when Bongo scored the last goal of the SHL season on Sunday night. The Atlanta inferno were already leading by a considerable margin, so bongo attempted to kill some clock and hide behind the net / a tactic that most refer to as “ragging the puck”.
The puck ragging lasted a considerable amount of time, at least considerable amount of time as far as shifts are concerned. Bongo was getting booed by his hometown fans as he attempted a break out, only to circle back behind the inferno netminder and rag the puck further. But bongo saw the opposition bench creep slowly for a change as the time ran down to 20 seconds. He knew this was his chance to pad his stats and reach his milestones. Bongo once again attempted a breakout and faked going behind the goaltender, from his own hash marks his ripped an absolute laser beam the inexplicably managed to go top titty on the full right bender goalie. The celebration that ensued was disgusting.

Option 1
I think the movie that I would star in would be similar to the movie Moneyball which is based on using stats to build a baseball team. I think stats and advanced analytics are becoming a bigger picture in today's hockey culture, is helping build more and more teams when they're looking at free agents and potential trades. Not to mention the huge impact that stats and analytics play in scouting, you can only watch so many games in person so it is important that you are able to analyze players stats in a deeper meaning. My player would play a role of a goofy stats person just coming out of school that is looking for his first job. You would be sent to a team that does not believe in analytics or stats and is strictly on Old Fashioned hockey and the eye test. My role would be to convince the GM to start using stats and analytics When selecting players in the upcoming draft and looking at free agents during the off season. 170+

Jett Labyrinth is a massive fan of cinema so this opportunity felt right up his alley, and the chance to feature as a cameo piqued his interest to even higher levels. The movie is a blockbuster starring Austin Butler as a struggling but once promising minor league hockey player who grew up around the mafia and returns to his hometown to work with them. The tone is quite dark and hockey is not necessarily at the forefront of the whole movie so Jett realized that the hockey scenes don’t have to be perfectly accurate but he still gave his input on many occasions. His main input was making sure the scenes on the ice looked decently authentic and not cheap-looking. For his cameo, Jett stars as an upcoming hotshot player who’s success on the ice is pushing Butler off the roster. Originally not supposed to have any speaking lines, Jett convinced the director to allow him to have a few speaking lines.

Gagner has been stapled to the bench all season, and his dream of making a highlight-reel play in his rookie season has been quickly fading. Heading into the season, he hasn't necessarily had high expectations. He just wanted to do something to be remembered by. Doing something that would put him on the morning highlights was enough for him, but it's hard to do that from the bench. Or so he thought. It was the last game of the season, and with playoff decisions already decided, the game was just a formality. The players were all going through the motions just waiting for the game to end. That is, when the puck took a strange deflection off a dump in. With quite some velocity, the puck deflected and was headed straight for the Los Angeles bench. With some quick thinking and good reaction time, Gagner was able to reach out and catch the puck moments before it would have hit his coach right in the head. He got a quick thanks and everyone simply moved on as if nothing happened. But Gagner was stoked. In his mind, this was the coolest thing he did all season. Now to simply hope TSN caught the play and decide to play it in their highlights the next morning...

The highlight reel play started off par for the course for Journey Man. With his team on their heels in the defensive zone, Journey kept the front of the net clear and did his best to disrupt passing lanes. As the puck moved out to the point, Journey got low to block it. The puck took a good bounce, and Journey had a clear lane for a break away. But after a few strides, the blade on one of his skates fell off! With just enough speed left to enter the offensive zone, Journey leapt off his good blade, put all his weight into a slap shot, and managed to go bar down and score! There's some arguments online over whether the goal should be considered one-legged or no-legged. Either way, the goal completely represented Man's play style. Defense first, self sacrifice, hard work, and full dedication. And occasionally some good accuracy.

I would explain hockey as essentially a retelling of star wars so that we can get a really good star wars film out of the deal. Obviously my player has been waiting all her life to be part of the star wars cinematic universe and this is a great chance. I think this hockey would take place on the desert planet of tatooine, known to star wars fans for its striking resemblance to canada. Jabba the hutts team, the intimidating moss espa sarlaacs, are once again looking like they will be strong contenders for the annual championship. Until an unlikely hero Gord Tremblay from the dune see finds his way to playing for the local mos pelgo womp rats after an unlikely mini pod race. This would obviously be a serious movie and a hopeful candidate for many spinoffs in the star wars universe. My player would want to cameo as a local alien who takes bets, very similar to mike francesas character in adam sandlers hit film uncut gems.

It was the performance of a lifetime. The next day, it was all over the internet. The local beat writers were arguing if it was the greatest moment in Anchorage Armada history. Maximalists even said it was the greatest moment in the history of all of Anchorage itself. I'm talking about Elaina Beneski's goal celebration. It was a dance with no equal. The arms, bending and unending. The skates, kicking so freely, with total abandon. The thumbs, somehow up, despite the hockey gloves. Her head moved so jerkily, or was a small miracle that her helmet remained in place. The crowd, loudly celebrating the goal was swept over by a silence borne out of compete awe, as they had never seen the like of this movement. Soon, the applause began again, but it was apparent to all present that they were no longer celebrating the goal - they were celebrating the celebration.

Mary Hollywood is not much of an actor. Luckily for her, her cameo role in an upcoming feature film was not a speaking one. Additionally, despite the fact that the creators of this film seemingly hold little to know knowledge on the actual game of hockey, Mary did not mind one bit doing this as a little nod to her fans. Why, you may ask? Because Mary Hollywood will do anything for a check. What a scumbag she is. But alas, that's Mary for you. Anyway, this film was less about hockey and more a truly hideous way for the Hollywood bigwigs to capitalize on the collective dumbing down of the American psyche that has coincided with bad sports romance literature running rampant. So, this weirdly uncomfortable romance film has some scene during a game where the main romantic interest girl has to go through some outrageous sequence of events on the concourse of the arena. There's Mary, selling popcorn and vaping. What a callback.

Trevor has never been great in front of the camera, I mean have you seen his last couple of advertisements for the chicken strip place that he owns. I'll save you the time, it wasn't good. So thankfully when this Hollywood studio approached him about a new hockey movie, it was just to be an advisor. From what Lahey can tell, the move will be about this group of friends that always getting into trouble while also being on a triple A hockey team with dreams of making it to the big leagues. The budget for the film is tiny, which means Lahey will be getting paid in screen time and it won't be much time, he gets to play a referee during one of the films games. What type of movie will this be? mockumentary, like the office, but on ice! This seems oddly familiar to Lahey, but he doesn't dwell on things, he will do this task, just like any other task, with all of his heart.

Written option 1: Ah in 2025 the great hockey movie Stickmen was created. It becomes a cult classic years later, in that so bad it's good way. This dumb comedy film starred Ryan Gosling and Timothee Chalamet as two arch rivals forced to play on the same Olympic hockey team. Gosling is the league star, and Chalamet is the up and coming rookie who was playing in the minors for a few years. The movie is thankfully played mostly off the ice because the on ice scenes are dreadful. Whenever they can't avoid having the stunt doubles, Gosling and Chalamet are clearly not elite skaters and it looks a little cringey. I did my best to at least make sure all the rules of hockey were correct, but especially stepped in when unrealistic tactics were being played because it was getting embarrassing. My high point was getting to actually play as a defender in one of the clips and getting to check Gosling's stunt double.

Written Option 2:
Rocky Gislason is a known scorer, so it is only fitting that during those closing games of the season he was able to do something so incredible and amazing that you dont believe it til you see it. Rocky Gisalson was able to score a hattrick in a single game. Impressive right? Well its how he did it. The first one, Rocky was just exiting the penalty box, after a bogus holding call, and he received a pass which put him on a breakaway. Rocky got trip up from behind so he was awarded a penalty shot. Rocky fooled the goalie and scored his first of the game. The 2nd goal, while shorthanded, Rocky blocked a shot which bounced perfectly back out of the defensive zone. Rocky sprung back into action as he only had 1 player to beat and then got hooked and got awarded his 2nd penalty shot. Rocky took it in and fooled the goalie and put it high glove side. The 3rd and final goal, yes you guessed it, was another penalty shot. Rocky received an absolute beauty saucer pass from teammate Centrist right up the middle. The defenseman dove and tried to swipe the puck but instead got Rocky's skate. 3rd penatly shot coming up. Rocky lined up, smiling the whole time, knowing he had the goalie's number already. He skated in and fake a shot and then put it five hole. A penalty shot hattrick game. Truly unbelievable. |
