Option 2: Jarrod Lakemore takes the game very seriously and is very much a stoic type who isn't exactly one to keep things loose by acting like a clown or making a silly joke. He knows it's important to keep his goalie focused, calm, and motivated at all times and takes the time to try to figure out how to best do this for each of his goaltenders. For much of his career at Buffalo, Lakemore played with Casey Fantobens as the primary netminder. Fantobens was the type of player who could get down on himself at times, but when he was in the right state of mind, was nearly unbeatable. The key here was to provide positive feedback at all times and remind Fantobens of how good a player he was even when things weren't going his way. Other goalies need more of a high energy sort of kick in the pants to get them motivated. For these type of players Lakemore would instead play off the crowd and try for a more assertive approach complete with requisite chest bumping and fist pounding. (185 words)

Option 2: Javelin Bodine always tries to be the goalie's best friend on any team he ever plays for. Whether it be in the J, the SHL, or even when he eventually gets to beer league. All roads lead to beer league, you know. Not only are goalies complete head cases, but they also are arguably the most important players on any team. If your goalie is complete trash, you will never ever succeed in any league you're playing in. Pre-game during warmups, Javelin always tries to ensure he's giving the goalie a good warm up by taking shots that help the goalie rather than trying to pick corners. After goals against, Javelin always goes over to his keeper and gives a stick tap on the pads to show the goalie that whatever happened is in the past and the team are still with them. During intermissions Javelin has always stayed away from his goalie as you don't want to interrupt their process of staying in their own head space and zone.

Written Option 1: For Halloween promotion your teams PR department wants a short horror movie to reach new audiences and as that is about as much work as they feel like doing for it they have your player figuring out the small details like casting and plot. So what kind of movie it will be? Is it going to have a monster and if it does what will it be and who is going to play that role? Or maybe bit more psychological horror? Reliving a game seven loss from the past or is it going to involve hockey at all? What kind of movie your player would create and what role they would play in it?
Holidays and other such big events are important for many and a good way to build up the brand and attract new audiences. Alexandros is not many, he is incredibly holiday adverse and does not celebrate them so when he got the knock on the door to setup this movie he was greatly confused and annoyed. After a long time of thinking he has come up with the perfect short horror to show fans more about the team and bring in new fans. Our horror movie will be monster and psychological mix following the biggest monster of our locker room, Sad Ketchup. Everywhere the team goes and at any point of the day they will be haunted by the Sad Ketchup as it moves through the halls. The only warning he is coming? “sad”. That 1 word over and over echoing through the halls, none able to sleep at the horror of him being there. Chances of survival slim, all will hear the call. “sad”. -165 words

Goalies being the most important part of the team is a bold face lie. Don't let big media try to fool you by this. You could literally put a trained monkey in net with pads and a stick. You know what it doesn't have to be a trained monkey a regular old monkey would do. Scratch that a monkey missing one arm with a bad back and a sore knee half a burnt face with a missing eye and an eye patch on the other that has been used for makeup testing without pads and a twig would suffice. Hmmm thinking about it place a pylon in the net like half the league already does to save cap space, while avoiding the PR disaster as humane societies would come knocking, and you still have a chance to win a game. You know why? Offense that is why. You litterally cannot win a game without a goal being scored, can a goalie do that, can they score a game winning goal? No, no they can't. You need offense, you score more than the opposition you win.
Now because we have to have a goalie, I do find ways of trying to keep him on task and focused. Before a game I like to get him in the zone by telling him what I and his mother did last night. If I see him slacking off in net and he lets in a bad goal, I will tell him what his Mother is going to do to me and what I am going to do to her tonight after the game, and no I do not plan on showering first. Let me tell you something that jock strap does not breathe, really lets the meat and potatoes stew if you know what i mean. I remind him if we lose becuase he let's in a bad goal I will end my relationship with his Mother so she will die sad and alone. The man gets fired up and plays beyond his weight class every damn night. He must be so happy that I make his Mom so happy. Just kidding I love you Justin Time @RAmenAmen You carry this amazing team on you broad shoulders. Sig by Lazyeye

It was crazy because MattyJ was in the middle of filming the movie but then got traded to Chicago. We will never know how that movie ends. However, it made it difficult because Chicago was in the middle of their Halloween movie special as well. They did want to squeak me in there to be nice but there was not much of a role for me. As I understand, the movie plot was about a team of hockey players that had knives keep coming up from under the ice. They could not see a person or anything but many players were injured and even killed. To put me in the movie, they had me be the Zamboni driver. He was introduced and wanted to try to find the killer. However, while driving, the ice knifer stopped the Zamboni from running. Trapped in the middle of the ice, MattyJ didn’t know what to do. He made a break for it towards the benches. Knife through the foot, he falls down, game over for MattyJ. The End.

Julian does a lot of things to help his goalie stay focused during the game. As a former defenseman, he knows important focus is when youre trying to keep pucks from going into the net. So whether its a quick tap on the pads after a good stop, or a quick word at a stoppage of play, Julian will always take every chance he has to interact with his goalie and keep him sharp and in the game. He helps the goalie calm down after they missed a puck, and needs some support to get back on his feet for the next shift. And most importantly, when shit hits the fan and someone goes after his goalie, Julian will be right there to have his back and isnt afraid to slash, check, drop or fight whoever thinks he can take a cheap shot at the teams most important person on the ice.

Hockey would not be a theme in most of Violet's endeavors outside of her day job. She understands it needs to be involved in most of her marketing, but I think with a generally creative endeavor like a movie, she would shoot for more of a psychological thriller -- or maybe a horror movie with a monster/creature that isn't ever visualized. A shapeshifter with a critical weakness/flaw in its shapeshifting abilities without much explanation as to its origin would be a reasonable start -- and perhaps it'd be set in a relatively more remote environment in nature in a "haunted" or sparser part where people would try to vacation. It's, of course, sustained either by stealing souls or mutilating/eating other living things, and maybe there'll be some kind of old mystical/oracle-type figure who inevitably is stolen away, killed, or found to be the creature in and of itself in the end manipulating the main cast. Naturally, the involvement of this shapeshifter is suspect enough that the entire cast/audience are left wondering if there was ever a monster in the first place.
Thanks @Amidships!

Horror movies are overrated and all the same. Kiwi would help make a fun, high school level, Lovecraftian spooky (not horror) film. It could be set in a bog up in an old mansion in New England. It would have a bunch of high schoolers and stuff. Obviously the main characters mom has to be single and her and her son are still struggling with no dad. And then they move to a small town in Maine and weird stuff is happening in this town. There's a part where all the people look like fish. There's like a cave with howling sounds coming from it. An old mansion on the edge of town in a swamp where an ogre lives and he needs to save the princess from the dragon so Lord Farquad stays away from his swamp. Wait a second...I think I've lost the plot of this movie. But Kiwi would want to do a family friendly, campy, high school spooky movie. Not a horror movie.

Prompt 2
For the first time in M’Baku Olubori’s career, someone other than Sir Devoir is the starting goalie between the pipes for Baltimore. Going into his fifth professional season with the team, Beau Kavanagh has finally taken over as the starter for the team, surprising few. He’s steadily expanded his role, appearing in 24-27 games his first three seasons, before jumping to 34 games last year. That being said, the last few seasons the team has turned to Beau as their playoff starter, and his hot performances in S76 and S78 helped the team make deep playoff runs (he’s appeared in 42 playoff games since S75). The coaching staff and team clearly trust Beau, and Baku is no different. Beau doesn’t talk much on or off the ice, and Baku tries to keep him loose during games (out of fear he’ll get in his own head). He’s always sharing a funny comment or encouraging word with Beau, especially after a weak goal. Beau has to know the team has his back (and they do). Usually Baku will leave the goalies be during intermission—they have their own routines and he doesn’t need to bother them. On the ice between plays you can absolutely hear Baku supporting the guy in the mask, whether it’s Kavs or veteran backup Hank Stopper.

I couldn't agree more, the goalie position is one of a kind. I can't think of another sport that has such a demanding position, both physically and mentally. For Lyle Odelein IV, he knows that his goalie is someone he needs to get to know and trust. His own goalie is the one he shoots the most against, every single practice / training session, they are both working together to become the best player that they can be. Having that tight relationship will help them both in the long run. There is no better person to learn shooting 'tips' than an actual goalie, someone who's job it is to stop pucks, they typically know what works and what doesn't work. So Lyle spends as much time possible with the goalies in NOLA, on and off the ice. He will also be the first to congratulate his goalie after a big save or a big win and on the flip side, he will be there to support them after a misplay or a loss. sig by @Bruins10

Galton Woggins is looking at his past acting achievements in his acting career and recognizes plenty of opportunities. His most favored memory is in the Fallout: The Show and believes he could use his influence in the IP now to create a Fallout based hockey horror movie. Fallout has already established sports tools being used as weapons with pool sticks and hockey masks in the various games. Interestingly, "Sudden-Death Overtime" is a perfect example of this insane concept. What if Galton Woggins adapts this idea and creates a chilling psychological horror where people are chased Jason-style with hockey masks and sharpened hockey sticks as the main character hides from this insane hockey gang through the White House ruins in an attempt to take back the riches of a dead America? What if the main character (Galton Woggins) can revive a brief concept of America by taking down this insane gang that claims heritage from the "old" "Canadian" people in the north.

Here is the scary movie. a scary movie needs a mixture of shock but tension and the best way to create a scary movie worth watching is to actually shock or audience expectations into a memorable piece. The Buffalo stampede have had a historic rivalry with many teams, but the most shocking rivalry has to be their rivalry with the New Orleans inspector. They are ghosts and you would expect ghost to be scary, but what’s more scary than ghosts or buffalo .
A scary movie begins in the middle of an ice hockey rink, and the ghosts have surrounded our heroes the Audience is made to believe that the goats are gonna hurt our hockey players, but shocked with the hockey players are the ones that actually better trapped The ghosts and spend the rest of the movie slowly torturing the New Orleans inspectors until they admit that the Buffalo stampede are better than them in every way possible as you can see this movie isn’t so scary as a prompt, but the fear that is generated from watching the mental unravelling of a one story franchise into a mess of tears and screams make this realistic fiction so scary The sequel to this movie will once again sub expectations where you are going in, expecting a saw like movie with the Buffalo stampede as a protagonist, but they will quickly get eliminated and dispatched by the true mastermind behind it all the reveal of izzy

Written Option 2:
Gregorz is a great goalie! He's the foundation of the LA Panthers team with proven winning capability. It's always reassuring to have him in the net. Oliver respects him completely as a teammate and friend. If he, or any of their teammates, need anything he can help with, Oliver is always happy to do what he can. Usually with Greg, it's help with stretches in warm-ups and during intermissions. Being more spherically inclined, staying loose can be a challenge sometimes. It means a lot of stretches, often working on them at any extended idle time. He also needs help making sure his pads are secured at times, and Oliver has helped him with that. As willing as Greg is to ask for and receive help with those things, he does not want help or acknowledgement when the other team scores. He has his own reset ritual before play resumes that is pretty much his and his alone. |
