Option 2: Maybe I'm not having my best game, but I'm still the captain of this sorry bunch, and no matter what happens to us, it should be me leading the way. When we're down by one goal, who can you trust to go out there and fight with everything they have to get us the points we need to fight on? Me, it's me! Not to mention I'm the team's leading point getter, and the first Saint Louis player to hit point per game status in a long while. I am the one who can make a difference, the one with the clutch gene, the one who LIVES and BREATHES victory in tight situations. And, finally, I'm the player the fans trust to get us a win, to do something, to put it all out on the ice. If nothing else, you have to give the fans what they want, in the end!

Option 1: Nor feels like he would run out of juice pretty early in the game if he is not able to eat a meal before the game, which means he feels like he needs to take on the sketchy guy to help his team win tonight game. However, Nor doesn’t plan on using for his usual meal, cause he is worried the sketchy man could put something in the meal that could cause him to puke or give him the shits. He is also worried that the man could add some forbidden substance in the meal, which could cause Nor to fail an anti-doping test if he is randomly selected. This is why Nor chooses to ask for plain spaghetti with no sauce, because he doesn’t think this is a meal that can be altered and it should provide him with enough energy to help him make it through the whole game. Since Nor is not superstitious, he doesn’t think it will affect him too much mentally.

I'd say something like:

Coach can you put me in? Coach can you put me in? Coach can you put me in? Coach can you put me in?

Over and over again until my coach got annoyed. See Johnny FourStar is not a very verbally persuasive guy. He let's his play on the ice do the talking. But what does he do when coach won't put him on the ice? This is such a conundrum! I could talk about how I'm one of the best offensive minds on the team. I could mention that maybe putting me on the ice more would help the team win more games! But if coach was going to do that they would have done it way long ago, right? What's wrong with me that I never get the opportunities that other people get? Am I damaged? Is there something wrong with me?

Now I'm depressed! This is why Johnny FourStar doesn't try to talk his way into or out of things. Thinking is dumb! Playing hockey is definitely the way to go.

Option 2:

Beck has played a lot of games for this team, more than anyone in fact. In nearly 1200 career regular season and playoff games, Beck has never once had a hunch that he could score a goal. As a defenseman, they usually happen in a fluke manner. And playing that long with so many other great players before him, that time has taught him to be humble and let the youngsters go score. But, nowadays, with the talent flowing away from its peak, Beck may just trust his gut once in a while. He would probably just straight up tell the coach to play him because he has a plan to score a goal. His seniority and leadership status should help persuade the cause. I would also assume his teammates would let him ride the wave of motivation because they trust their old grizzly vet. He has been in a lot of these situations and knows what to do in order to close out a game. Whether it happens or not, I think it would be the right call.

Rence Sykut is an Eastern European man with Eastern European tastes. He likes to consume four or five sausages before game time as well as a hefty servings of boiled potatoes and braised cabbage along with a nice tall glass of buttermilk. After being told that his usual meal is unavailable, Rence finds himself face to face with the new team chef looking for alternatives who offers him a mildly spiced stir fry dish. Still, this is too much for Rence's basic palate and the small amount of Thai chili pepper causes Rence to sweat profusely and claim that his insides are on fire. Rence is forced to miss the next six to eight weeks with a middle body injury as his supple European digestive system is unable to handle even a hint of spice. Upon his return to the team, Rence is thrilled to discover that the team has brought in a personal chef for him to make sure not even an ounce of spice interacts with his food to prevent this from happening in the future.

(Option 1)

Dude this is so perfect, my pregame ritual is beating up random shady strangers that try to offer me various deal-with-the-devil type arrangements. It's usually pretty tough to find people that fit the bill but here's this random guy here to volunteer as tribute. I still wanna take his deal though, cause if I just starting bonking him on the head now I feel like this is a wasted opportunity. I use him to summon a nice pregame meal of a Wendy's 4 for 4 (meal of champions), and I use his deal of assistance with my pregame ritual to create more clones of him that will spawn 45 minutes before game time. He's on board with the Wendy's thing (he can have one of my nuggets he seems cool) but he doesn't really like the part where I have to beat him up every day, but he's the one who offered the deal. After our Wendy's 4 for 4 we engage in a good old fashioned Mortal Kombat-type duel, ending in me throwing a Wendy's frosty at his head to ultimately defeat him. He is down for now, but he will be back next game day, for that is the deal.

Option 1:

Denebor Milasch being a goalie is very superstitious about his pre-game meals and pre-game rituals among other strange things that are meant to help him get wins in the crease. Without the ability to get his pre-game meal he would be forced to take the shady man up on his offer. Luckily for Denebor the shady man was literally just that. A man standing in a shaded part of the arena and once he got him to move a little he could see it was the usual team chef that was on site at the training facilities most days. This actually made for an easy fix to his pre-game meal issue since he usually ate at the team facility before games anyway. So the team chef made him his usual chicken Alfredo and Denebor then went to take part in his pre-game rituals like normal. Which consisted of taking a nap and then throwing a ball against a wall to try and warm up his reflexes. Really this was all business as usual in Toronto.

Option 1:

Marek has never been a very superstitious guy. He does like to keep a routine, but with all the travel associated with games in the SMJHL and the SHL he doesn’t get too tied to one thing or another in order to avoid the very dependence we’re discussing here. As a result, I don’t think Marek would take up the shady man on his offer. Marek would normally prefer a good early afternoon chicken parmesan followed by a healthy nap, but if he can’t do this, he’d try to find something to eat with a similar macro profile that doesn’t present and concerns in terms of digestion. If he can’t find someplace comfortable or sleep for whatever reason, he could resort to guided meditations or relax with some soft music to rest his mind and body before the big game. There are always alternatives to the norm, that don’t depend on witchdoctors. Marek says – routines over rituals!

Option 1:

Paul Bondage loves a healthy salad bowl before game time. Kale, beans, tofu, various veggies, he loves how he can fill up without feeling like absolute dog shit after eating his fill. Unfortunately, his favorite salad place was blown up and everyone died! How will he get his salad now? Somehow even weirder, a weird sketchy dude is offering him a replacement that's even better and will make him play like a legend? It is very tempting as it's become his ritual for games, but thinking about the negative of this situation steers him away. He small talks the guy and he goes off on a weird tangent about how he's the ghost of Wayne Gretzky and has a love for salads or something. Paul Bondage has heard some crazy talk from the locals, but nothing ever like this. He instead decides to go home and have two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
