Written Option 2:

Antonio Flusso took a page out of the Kevin Durant social media playbook and threw together quite a few burner accounts on various platforms as to snoop and engage with fans, well wishers and detractors alike. He did this so he can keep tabs on what people think about his game, and more importantly, to dissuade others from attempting to badmouth him by attacking people at any given moment. Criticize a decision with the puck? There's a 10 post long rant about what a degenerate piece of human filth the fan in question is. Hype up some advanced stat that reflects well on Flusso? Then here comes heaps of praise about how they think right. Then it's onto the next burner account to back up whatever it is the initial one said, so on and so forth. Posting highlights of good plays is another classic move, then quoting it with the official Antonio Flusso account to highlight praise and encourage other fans to do so. While Flusso doesn't exactly search for his own name on a daily basis, it does come out during road trips, downtime. Off-seasons... Holidays... In between periods.

Jimbob Ghostkeeper does his best to stay away from social media. Not only does it seem like the world of the internet has left him behind, but he just doesn't quite get the trends now like he did when he was younger. To add on to that, people seem to be very unkind to dudes with sweet mustaches. Ghost could have the best game of his career, but it seems like people just cling to his mustache and how goofy it may or not be. As the legendary Rod Kimble once said, "All great men have mustaches". Aside from the stache situation, he never quite got used to receiving death threats anytime he had a particularly rough play on the ice. The twitter crowd was particularly harsh to him following any perceived bad games, so he finally swore off of it and decided to just keep to himself online. Why listen to the online noise at all? He feels that there are better ways to spend his time than to doomscroll. He'll never reveal the location of his secret hot dog enthusiast blog, though. That's for him to know and for everyone else to find.

It has been a great season for the Tampa Bay Barracuda. They got off to a great start and then slowed a little before starting to pick up steam again at the end of the season. This is just in time for playoffs. None of that would be possible without my goaltending brother Meo Vanbiesbrouck. Without Meo Tibuk would have again be over worked and shelled for hundreds of extra shots. Not only did he fill in amicably for Tibuk to give him rest but he also put up solid numbers which gave our team opportunities to win. Tibuk and Meo have become great friends, sitting together in the locker room as well room mates for all the road trips. They say goalies are of a. Different breed but I think that just makes them a stronger community. There are tons of great players ob Tampa Bay and Tibuk gets along great with everyone but a goalie tandem United will never fall.

Social media is essentially a requirement to fit in to today's society. Public figures, whether politicians, new outlets, bands, or athletes maximize their reach by utilizing social media effectively. Tip Toasty does not love social media, but understands the necessity of the platforms. Toasty uses social media to connect with fans on a minor level. Since he is in the junior leagues, the pressure to communicate with fans is fairly low. Once he moves into the top tier of competition, Toasty plans to bring on a publicist to manage social media. He is not savvy with current trends, and only likes to use social platforms for authentic communication, but with a publicist, Toasty believes he can utilize the platforms in an effective, healthy, and fun way for himself and his fans. It is obviously not healthy to think too much about the chatter online, so that's not the norm that Toasty follows.

Jarrod Lakemore spent his formative years at Buffalo playing frequently with Buffalo legend Konstantin Selich. Lakemore learned a lot about being a leader both on and off the ice from Selich and some of his best years were playing with Selich. Though Selich is now in the twilight of his career and well past his physical prime, Lakemore has used what he learned from Selich as it is now Lakemore himself who is the veteran leading his line with his wingers Daniel Grumathan and Prince Marius, two promising youngsters well on their way to becoming perennial all-stars. Lakemore has always been a stoic, serious player but that doesn't mean he can't be a vocal leader. He is always trying to push Grum and Marius because he knows how good they can be. Though his relationship off the ice is strictly professional, the two youngsters are closer to each other off the ice and Lakemore commands enough respect to lead them on the ice and in practice. And of course, Lakemore still has Selich to turn to for advice when needed, even if Selich is limited to the fourth line these days.

Written Option 2: Social media is part of the everyday life wanted we it or not, and thus it is easier than ever before to find what people are thinking and writing about you. How much does your player follow what is written or talked about them around the internet? Is it mostly positive or negative? Do they interact with said media and if they do how? Maybe they are starting the conversations themselves to get more attention?

Yuri Boyka III sees social media as the weapon of mass destruction. Sure there are many benefits to a lot of people as they are always tuned in with world news, what's trending and what ever content they are interested in. But to Boyka III, social media has been what has caused a downward society. Back in the days, kids will be playing outside, riding a bike and just being physically fit. Nowadays, the kids just want to use their phones, watch tiktok and see what is trending. Cyber bullying has also gone up tremendously. Due to these circumstances, Boyka III rather not interact with social media and rather be low key in terms of his interactions. He prefers to be on the side lines and not be super popular. He hates media attention and just sticks to his routine. His play however has gotten a lot of interest from the public from his transition as a winger to a defender. Boyka III was able to amass 50 points as a defender and this is causing some speculations amongst media whether this dude is on performance enhancement drugs.

Written Option 2

When I was a younger player, I will admit that I was always checking the social media accounts in the hockey world. There were even times when I would search my name on a site like Twitter just to see what people were saying about me. While some of this was really positive and helped me think more highly of myself and my ability, there was a good amount of it that was extremely negative and hurtful. I remember in my early playing days thinking about some of those comments for months and it actually affected my play. Now that I have been around for a long time, I still have my social media account but I no longer check frequently or search my name. I also let my younger teammates know and give them advice that not much good can come out of those comments. While social media is great to have as a player, I really often stay away from it.

Playing with Piastri and Rashford, my player has developed the necessary chemistry to really be a threat and cause other teams trouble. This team can play physical and score which really puts them out there as a dangerous combination that other teams must devote some of their best defensive players toward. Piastri and my player go back several years in their teams and leagues through their agents. This history has contributed to our chemistry and makes us a sloid duo. It was incredible to see Piastri come to Los Angeles through free agency. It was a good homecoming, and it was essential to us getting a championship together in Los Angeles. Rashford is up there with over 70 hits over the course of the season. Playing physical with everyone on the line really makes other teams worry when we come onto the ice. We pose some significant problems for other lineups, and then our other lines attack them as well. (160 words)

Option 1

Ekaterina played with Adam Liebold since his first season in Kelowna. After being picked on waivers, he was the first to welcome him to the team. They were then picked by Baltimore in the second round, in the same draft. Since then, they thrived to become the best penalty kill unit in the league, and Adam became of the one of the best – if not the best – shorthanded goal scorer in the history of the franchise.

Thomas joined a few seasons later and the three of them became the what the Maryland media named “the Liebold sandwich line”, with both brothers playing on the wing, with Valieva at the center. Ekaterina played with both of them for six seasons so far, and twelve with Adam (in Kelowna and Baltimore). The Leibold sandwich line scored 423 goals in six seasons, and Ekaterina and Adam scored, often together, 56 shorthanded goals in nine seasons in Baltimore. In the S76 playoffs, the Liebold sandwich line scored 28 goals and 71 points in 23 games.

Mia Lavoie is so out of touch with social media it's a wonder she can keep up with anything remotely cool and hip these days. It's not really anything personal, as far as she's concerned people can say what they want and she'll keep doing what she's doing, media pressure or not. She just genuinely has no interest in most of the crap that gets posted on there otherwise. Every once in a while she'll hear about a tweet that has to do with the team, or a blog that spends a bunch of time throwing someone (maybe her) under the bus for a particularly bad loss or something, but she doesn't seek any of it out and hearing about it really doesn't bother her much. She's not out for the attention, and doesn't buckle when it does happen to come along for whatever reason. She's just here to do that hockey out on the ice with her teammates in Atlanta.

Written Option 2:

Julian Flörsch is very much aware of the fact that social media is a part of the every day hockey life, whether he likes it or not. And very early in his career, he has decided to adapt to the social media lifestyle and try to play out and market his online presence.

Influenced by other sports stars, especially the F1 racing stars like Lando Norris and Max Verstappen, Julian has dabbled in some live streaming of him playing the NHL series EA games. He even had the team install a straming setup in the team bus for the shorter trips and has been known for recording and streaming sessions from hotelrooms, airplanes, and other travel locations.

He has also hired a Social Media assistent to handle his instagram, facebook and tiktok profiles and ensure plenty of content is posted, while the comments are being moderated for anything that crosses the line of humanity. Every once in a while, Julian goes live on his socials as well, to engage his fanbase outside of Minnesota.

Written Option 1:

At present, Matviy Cajabi's linemates consist of Benjamin Surkhi-Ze'ev and Jerry Moonshine. It is a line that was recently thrown together after the surprise trade of 1/3 of what was to be the rock solid "Mat³" line. That trade saw the Blizzard trade away Cajabi's friend and former linemate, MattyJ, so instantly there was a drop in chemistry for that line.

While Surkhi-Ze'ev and Cajabi have played most of this season on the same line together, chemistry wouldn't be the first word that comes to mind when describing their cohesion on the ice. Adding Moonshine into the mix so late into the year didn't help things, but like the professionals they are, they played out the string and made the most out of the situation.

If anything, it was a chance for Cajabi to lean on the veteran presence of Surkhi-Ze'ev who is back for his second tour of duty with Edmonton after a short three season stint in The Big Easy.

As for what next season will bring is anyone's guess. With the first line set in stone and Cajabi's place on the second line seemingly secure, it's not clear whether he'll start next season with either of his current linemates. The "plan" initially was for Cajabi and MattyJ to be flanked by Italian sensation Cristoforo Roccamontepiano, but you know what they say about best laid plans. We'll have to wait and see what the evil geniuses in Edmonton's management and coaching staff cook up in the laboratory when it comes to Cajabi's chemistry in S80 or whether he'll even be part of the chemical equation at all.

Option 2:

When I was young I would refuse to go on social media as that was what my agent recommended. However, I have had teammates show me some of the amusing interactions they have had with fans on their burner accounts. You would be shocked to know that many burner accounts are verified and even cited as sources on sports talk shows.

I learned something very important one day; most sports fans are dumb/ignorant. They do not know what they are watching and only remember select events. They'll remember a big hit, fight or block but they won't remember that same player struggle to pass the puck up ice. Once I accepted this, I started following a lot of analytic people. I have even reached out and help them refine their models. I like looking under the hood and seeing what we can change to improve. If you aren't growing, you're dying.
