There’s always one way that you can make a movie with sports go well. And that is an old trick that includes a jolly old golden retriever. And if air bud is not gonna be available, then we will just have to find another fill in. The vibe for a sports and dog movie is always going to be an underdog story. Where a young and budding hockey player is getting his start on a new team where he dorsnt have as many friends as he would like. And while the season has not gotten off to the right start and the new guy is potentially going to be the one to blame. And, before we know it, the new guy’s lovely household friend, pupper puck catcher, is gonna be the best player on the team. I will ensure that the new director understands just how difficult the game of hockey is to get on the big screen. The speed and all of the puck movement is just really hard to capture. Introducing a dog just helps to suspend the viewers reality just long enough to truly enjoy the movie.

Option 2
Kristian Seppanen, the star first line right defenceman (often abbreviated as RD) and assistant captain (which means he’s apparently a leader in the locker room and wears an embroidered A on his hockey sweater during games) for the Atlanta Inferno frozen dihydrogen oxyde (otherwise known as ice) hockey team (not to be confused with other types of hockey such as ball hockey or field hockey) of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the Simulation Hockey League, otherwise known as the SHL, did the unthinkable in the final home game of the Atlanta Inferno's season. The score was three to two for the Away Team, and in the final minutes, the Atlanta Inferno pulled their goalie and put defensive stalwart and shot blocking maestro, Kristian Seppanen, on the ice as the extra attacker. The Away Team came down the ice, and shot it at the net - leaving Kristian Seppanen to make a diving save. But more impressively, Kristian Seppanen hit the puck at the perfect angle that it shot back like a baseball bat hitting a baseball, going for the hockey equivalent of a home run by making it all the way down the ice and catching the Away Team's goalie off guard as he was turned around drinking water from his water bottle while the pick trickled across the line, and Kristian Seppanen tied the game in the dying minutes - allowing the Atlanta Inferno to take it to overtime and eventually winning the game.

Option 1
I think the thing that my character 3WW Wingmate Roc would do would be to try and get the correct sense of locker room talk and camaraderie in the movie. I feel like the way that people talk to each other is so good at establishing the relationship and the level of trust and reliance people have with each other, and it's like how in the Martian it was so important that the author was able to capture the vibe so well. I think that the hockey part or the sports part of these kinds of movies are kind of not so important. A lot of baseball movies have a ton of bad baseball, which is the one I'm most used to and I think that it's very easy to ignore or just glance past because sports movies aren't really about the actually playing but like l good movies, it's about the relationships that these people have with each other .

Any movie that James gets offered a role working on ends up being a superhero movie, where their secret identities involve being hockey players so that they can travel and chase down the bad guys. The tone is camp and over the top, more Scott Pilgrim comic books than DCEU comic books. James absolutely HATES the experience of working on the movie since every piece of advice he gives is received with a lot of pushback. Some of it is fair enough, since to get all of the hockey minutia right in a movie that isn't ostensibly about hockey could affect the movie's pacing, but other times they involve making flagrant penalties and rules violations which are there for safety within the sport. James fights on those since these are supposed to be the good guys, right? They wouldn't break such important rules! he gets his point across, but somehow when the time for his cameo arrives the original costume is scrapped for yellow and blue spandex, and all of the other superheroes laugh at his silly superhero costume. Nobody respects the classics.

Demir Bellona wasn't expecting this phone call but that was the easiest thing he's ever said yes to. Christopher Nolan was coming to Montreal to shoot a new movie and it was about hockey? Hell yeah sign him up. The production was looking for knowledgeable people about hockey and who else but an actual SHL player to help them bring this movie to life while staying true to the sport. The movie was a retelling of the miracle on ice in the 80s where the US beat the USSR and Bellona wasn't sure how or when a British cinematorapher would have learned about that game. Nonetheless, he was very excited to have a small acting role (non speaking of course, he couldn't ask for much) as one of the equipment guys. Well unfortunately it didn't amount to much since after the movie was edited, his one scene in the movie got cut.

The movie that is being shot is going to play heavy into the fighting and play boy aspects of tnr sport to try and get viewers who are avid readers of hockey romance novels. The film is not going to show much hockey action but the protagonists in the movie will be a team goon and the only clips shown will be fights he is in or clips of teammates shooting on what will appear to be an open net just like in mighty ducks at times. Nkw gnabe will be in charge of making sure the fights go off without a hitch and he will do this by also making a cameo in the movie as the goons training partner in tbe boxing gym thay he trains jn. This being gnabes first appearance in film will howver likely be the start of his second career as an actor just like John Cena, the wrestling king in his past life.

Edouard Lavoie would agree to assist as a hockey consultant in the bad movie, but he would negotiate the ability to plug one of his charitable partners in lieu of his cameo (or as part of his cameo if they really wanted him to do it). He would also get in writing that the production company would have to listen to his advice even if they did not want to do so and any time they questioned him they would have to write a check to one of Lavoie's charity partners. Since the movie is about a talking dog playing hockey, Lavoie would choose the local animal shelter to be his partner for the movie. The film premiere would have to allow pets to attend and there would also be an adoption event after the movie ended. Edouard would attend to sign autographs and solicit more and larger donations for the shelter. The movie would still probably not be very good, but hopefully the publicity would be enough to help the shelter out.

Written Option 2
There were a few key pieces that led to New Orleans great finish to the season, and in doing so, they won themselves the division title. This is something that hasn't happened for New Orleans in many, many seasons. It was so long ago, that Lyle Odelein III was a relatively new Specter in New Orleans. This time around, the Specters finished the season very strong and down the stretch, the 2nd year Odelein registered multiple multi point games. He and his Specters showed the league what they had to give coming into the playoffs and in doing so, dethroned the Texas Renegades. If asked, Lyle would have difficulty calling out one specific play that was the trigger to get into another gear, but he knows he is part of something special, and winning the division was just the start. He hopes to have this question asked again in a few weeks and hopes he has a more specific answer, one involving raising a cup. sig by @Bruins10

Prompt 2
In our (nearly) season ending game against NOLA, it doesn't matter if anything is on the line. Sure, this season it can have an impact on playoff seeding, but both teams are in regardless and pride matters more than home ice. Marton is known as a leader in hits and assists, with a lot of his offensive play happening below the goal line. This game is no different as he gets scrappy in the corners, but one specific play stands out. After a pretty typical dump into the zone, one NOLA player drifts back to collect the puck. But he's facing sort of towards his own net and doesn't see Diehm gaining speed down the board. The NOLA defender coming around behind the net sees the train coming though. At first he shouts, getting the man on the puck to at least look over his shoulder. Knowing he won't get out of the way in time, he braces for the hit. The Dman tries to build up his own steam, to give Diehm a taste of his own medicine. But Marton gets his legs pumping and his shoulders turned so he hits the puckholder so hard that he gets knocked into his own teammate coming the other direction. And the hut has so much force that both NOLA players go down in a heap in the trapezoid. Diehm stabilizes himself against the glass, not taking too long to admire his handiwork as he realizes the puck is just loose at his feet. His own stick is off the ice, from turning to deliver the hit, so he turns his foot sideways and soccer passss the puck to the inside of the circle, beyond the goalie's reach and right into the wheelhouse of Chris Valentine making the zone entry in Diehm's wake.

Written Option 2: Gwendolyn has been known for her small size and quick speed. She's been able to slip out of a goon's grasp and slice across the ice in the blink of the eye. Now paint this picture. Gwendolyn stick checks her opponent, wrestling the puck away from the enemy center. The puck's all the way in the defensive zone and she needs to get it out. Gwendolyn ducks under her opponents arm, slipping through. She passes it to the right wing and slips past a Dman. Shortly after the puck slides right back as she slides under the legs of the other dman. Gwendolyn pushes further towards the goalie, sliding behind the goal only to slide the puck right into the net under the goalie's nose. It was overtime, and she put her soul into it, knowing her team had to push it over to 5-4. To the opponent's dismay, they were danced around by a clumsy figure skater they couldn't get a single grasp on.

While it might seem like Kiwi Soderberg-Snooks (@Aleris) is the star of the latest and greatest movie, the reality is that as her cat Jeremy hangs along the set, he becomes the actual star of the show. No one is quite sure what to think when the cat comes onto the set and demands attention, but after a few chin scratches, Kiwi's able to take her starring role and Jeremy finds himself wandering around the set. He's able to get into a few shots in the movie, and the director feels as though he has to keep them, because, well, during the takes Jeremy destroys a part of the sets. It's the only actual take that they have. Jeremy was able to float in quite a few scenes this way, and while some aren't quite sure what it means for the movie, others feel as though Jeremy made it the best movie ever. (And, he didn't eat any of the actors, so everyone called that a win)

If anyone knows Greyson Willis, they know there is absolutely zero chance that he would make any sort of serious movie. However, the directors did not know this, and expected him to provide them with serious hockey information. While he'll give the directing crew accurate hockey info, he'll make it as silly as possible. As the consultant, Willis would make all of the actors watch two hockey movies: Goon and Slap Shot. Those two films should teach them everything they need to know about the great sport of hockey. This would set the tone for what would be the next great comedy hockey movie; the actors, however, would assume that this is how hockey is actually played and take it completely seriously. For his cameo, there are a number of roles he could fill, but he's still only thinking about the funniest possible options. His cameo would be as one of the other players on the ice who reacts to something the main characters do with a "Fuckin' A, bud!"
