After your stunning victory against your Proud Warrior Race opponents, you find yourself and your team of plucky aliens challenged by mice of unusual IQ. After a long-winded explanation of how they built the Earth as a supercomputer to yield the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, they want to experience this game that has emerged on their experimental planet. This time, your team has the size and strength advantage, but your opponents are very quick and have absurd hockey IQ. What's your gameplan to win this time?

We can make all the plans and account for every scenario, but as Mike Tyson once sorta said, "everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face." That same idea holds true here as well. None of us have played hockey against such an agile opponent, but remember that these are mice. Their supreme agility means that they're weak and that weakness means they're slow. They won't be able to generate the push necessary to accelerate to high speeds so we don't need to play fast. We just need to tire them out and create the longest possible path to the goal. We will use our bodies and sticks to make a maze that they must navigate to get to our net. We are giants and can use the full 200 feet of ice. These little guys aren't gonna be able to generate any cross ice passes and the second the puck leaves their stick we pounce and to high glove side on their baby little mouse goalie.

Oh boy its time to prank my GM, theres no way this can end well. Oh well, all is fair in hockey and pranks, and this is just for fun anyways. Hopefully they dont take it too personally. So how will this go down, you may ask? We are going to need some envelopes and official league stationery. Forging a letter from the league office is no easy job. Our plan is to make them think that the league received a request to move the team to Calgary. Why Calgary? They are rivals with Vancouver in the NHL so that works. I think the GMs are going to freak out and they might start overreacting and tweet something out. This might cause a stir with the fans, which would be a crazy additional effect of this prank. It would be ridiculous to be honest, but this is a fitting end to this prank war. Hope they find it fun!

PLAYER PROMPT - And now for the GM

Written Task: You and your mascot have chosen alliance in mayhem. With the blessing of all your org's decision makers except the one involved, you are about to prank your GM. What's your plan and how will you execute it to drive maximum social media engagement?

Cokey the Bear and Levin went for a cup of coffee after the "hot itching sauce" incident - trying to find common ground in order to avoid an escalation of explosive proportions. After getting to know each other and exchanging pleasantries, they turned their attention to whom could become the target of their pranking fury. The prime candidate was none other than the general manager of the Grizzlies, one Collin Gibbles. See, Mr. Gibbles is a man of habit, and will usually make the rounds in the arena every day from 8 AM to 10 AM, and then go for his second cup of coffee of the day. So they decided to conspire and have Levin keep Collin busy, talking about the franchise and his days in Anaheim when he was Levin's age - which would allow Cokey to spike his second coffee with a mixture of egg yolk and lemon juice.

Minutes later, they had to call the arena's paramedics, as Collin was seen choking on his coffee so hard, his mouth started bleeding a little. Cokey and Levin agreed to stop with their shenanigans at once.

Pranking the General Manager was the easy part. When Time and his accomplices broke into the Blizzard management office late one night, it was an easy endeavor to plant the fake message from Head Office firing HFFO and naming Egg as his replacement, effective immediately. Laughing at their great joke the following morning, the team waited in the dressing room for the response. They knew they were in trouble when they head the cries of "I'm finally free!" from upstairs, and their beleaguered co-GM marched into the room demanding answers. Looking around the room, the captain knew the jig was up. He offered a shrug and made for the door, muttering "Fine, I'll go bring him back."

The team shared another laugh and continued dressing for practice. They weren't worried. After all, this was at least the fourth time this season they'd had to drag HFFO back kicking and screaming to keep running the team.

So despite these mice being the creators of the universe and all that, please explain to me how these nerds think they can beat me and my epic team of roided out aliens? Make it make sense. These puny little shits will get demolished. Like seriously, how are they even supposed to take the puck from us? It doesn’t matter how high their hockey IQ is, if they are the size of a fuckin mouse they ain’t doing shit. Especially against superpowered athletic freak aliens. This game is gonna be the easiest blowout I’ve ever experienced. I mean we could literally just step on them, pick them up and throw them, really do whatever we want. How could the mice stop us? Not to mention the fact there will be a literal tiny rodent in the goal for them. My 5 year old cousin could score a goal on these losers

Thanks to @karey and @JSS for the sigs!

How the heck do you even coach a team to play again plucky alien mice? If the mice are using their own bodies how do they even handle the puck? I think I am just going to keep conditioning my team to out skate the mice. They might be small but that does not mean we should underestimate them. At the same time, it will be about making sure that we do not get stuck in crazy macro plays and hockey cheese. So that is conditioning and defense for stalwart cohort of aliens. Shot blocking will take on a new art form as well as temperament training. If we think the other team is going to predict our set plays then we also need to sit at home and improve individual skill. We go for the boring breakout goal scoring rather than focus on the team play. Short passes to get the puck to the net and then hammer the mouse goalie with shots until something goes in. Something always goes in.
