Written Option 1: Your opponent scores a goal but the coach seems to think it might have been the an offside. Yet the video coach was sleeping on the job and they need more time to find the replay to be sure if to challenge it or not. Coach sends your player to distract the referees until they can make up their mind and claim that referees just didn’t notice their call to challenge the goal. How does your player achieve this? Do they go talk to the refs? Or do they start a commotion somewhere in the rink? Maybe trip one of them by “mistake” and help them get back up? Whatever they try, do they successfully pull it off?
When the coach gives the nod to start a distraction, Alexandros is ready. 1 look to all his linemates on the ice and the entire Chicago team knows what must be done, an ancient and time-honored ritual in which Chicago does every day. Hugs… every single member of the Chicago line rush the players on the opposing team’s players and hug them yelling out loudly “HUGGERS !!!!!” as they go. The beauty of this distraction is it is not uncommon for Chicago to simply hug it out or hug others. It is their calling card; the very ice is covered in hugs. In the distraction the refs are forced to watch and make sure that the hugs aren’t going to turn into fights (we are known for that to hehe) and are too busy to watch what the benches are doing. The Huggers tactic is far to powerful for the refs and it would surely buy more then enough time for the video coach to wake up, check the footage and go to subway for a quick sub and come back to challenge the play!
Jayson likes to talk to referees. So he’s gonna go over there and have a conversation with him about the last play and claim. “Hey we think that was offsides are you able to go look at it. Have the other team captain come over and we all talk it out while they take a look at it before the coach calls the me back over to say yeah we’re gonna call a challenge. So that’s when I have a conversation with the referee about it and just have a decent chat about the weather being ridiculously cold. Negative degree weather. But having nice chats with the referee all the way through is probably the best thing we can do as a whole. It gives the perspective of I am talking to you not only to help myself out but because referees matter in every situation and have a full conversation because referees can be cool people as well.
In the situation where the coach needs time to stall to decide if the goal was offsides, I think Vasher would do a great job running interference/stalling duty. Vasher would probably trip a ref with his stick, seemingly by accident, and spend a long time helping him up, maybe pushing him down a few more times "by accident". If that tactic didn't score enough time, then Vasher would probably slam into another player and start a fight. To ensure the fight would last long, he'd spend a long time circling the opponent, and dodging swings, trying not to get grappled. Hopefully the amount of time is more than enough with the chaos that Vasher would cause on the rink. I think that Vasher is skilled enough to have pulled this off, and given the coach enough time to make his decision about the goal, and got away with saying the refs didn't notice their challenge.
Shadow Fenix isn't a fighter. A fight would be the simplest thing to start a commotion, but you need people who are fighters. So Shadow Fenix, instead knowing that injuries are not a thing in the SHL, would probably swing his stick into the back of the knees of one of the opposing players. This is quick, effective, and will definitely cause a commotion. And the best part of it is that nobody gets hurt except for the guy who had his knees chopped at. If Fenix decides he doesn't want to hurt someone, he would probably do some protoss telepathy things or something where he speaks into the mind of the ref and makes them pause the game for a second, thinking they're going crazy. If these things aren't enough for the poor old video coach, then I don't know what would be. All in all, Fenix probably won't successfully distract for long enough.
I'd say Brooklyn Physt would do her best to act like it is any other potential commercial break and chat up the refs. Normal mid game banter on anything from other games, to international play, to outside game events. Anything and everything to keep them talking and thinking about whatever else besides the game and play at hand.
Would this work? Well that would depend upon the referee. Someone who is laser focused on the task at hand and or, figures out what she is up to would surely cause problems for the Panthers. Conversely a zebra that Physt has made friends with would see nothing wrong with having a chat while they waited. If not, there is always herself and the rest of the team who could get into a straight up brawl as soon as the stripes begin skating over to the LA bench. After all, this team is ready to throw down and get things going, even at the cost of some time in the box.
Option 1: The Chicken needed some distraction, he was surely offside and by quite a lot as well, standing silently behind the goal. But how was Chicken going to achieve this, then he remembered, the Buffalo server room. Luckily it would take the refs quite a bit of time before finding the video, but likely still too much time for Chicken to go to the server room. So he asked his teammates to cause a commotion, it would be the first fight involving a Buffalo player in quite a while, as since the SHL came to be fights were pretty uncommon, and in the middle of the fight Chicken left the rink to “go for a pee”, but of course Chicken didn’t actually go and pee, but went to the server room to disconnect the internet so the TV signal would not come in anymore, coming back to the rink to Chicken’s surprise the referee TV was still ongoing, with the opponent teams manager having seen Chicken go, finding it suspicious, and enabling the hotspot WIFI to show the referee the massive offside. Sadly Chickens plans were foiled and Buffalo only ended up winning 3-2.
Thank you for joining me tonight in my humble abode. Please, go ahead - help yourself to some cheese and wine. Why yes, that is brunello di montalcino, please have a glass.
Well, where to start. My rookie season with the Argos went much better than expected. Going into the year, coming off some tough losses in Detroit, I had no idea where I would fit in on the team nor what role I would end up playing. I can't even imagine telling the Roquefort of a year ago that he won the Ryan Jesster, he wouldn't have believed me. What a rush, and yet - my journey has just begun. I really owe it to my teammates in Seattle, especially my fellow defenseman AT AT Wolker, without them setting me up for success I don't think I would've achieved it!
Yes! Isn't it crazy how often they let me shoot the puck? Now I understand it doesn't often find it's way in, but let me tell you, as a defender I much prefer the puck on the opposing side than my own. You miss every shot you don't take, right!
Valerija Serapin started the interview reflecting on her early days. How cruel the streets she grew up on and how lucky she was to survive long enough to escape that life. She would then moved on to her time in Colorado how big of an adjustment that was and the joy of that cup run. She then reflected on her reputation as one of the most intimidating goons in the SHL and what she means to her homeland and the cities she has played for. She then states that her career is ending soon. She elaborate over what she hopes to achieve in her remaining time and what she has planned for retirement. She concludes the interview by reiterating how lucky she has been and her hope that that luck continues for her

"Troy, get out there, we gotta stall the ref" said Coach Coacherson, the Coach of the New England Wolfpack! I Skate over to the refs as they circle around each other, and say "Hey, that Ice over there, it is more slippery than usual" and point to the far corner of the rink, by the zamboni door. "Yeah, ice is slippery, don't worry buddy, we know it's your first time skating." says the linesman Austin Powders. "yeah, but like, I mean it is way more slippery than it is supposed to be, we gotta go make sure it is safe for everyone else," I say, pointing back to the corner. Just as the linesman go to blow me off again, my teammate and best friend @Rankle skates over to the corner, and promptly slips on the spot of the ice. The refs and linesmen skate over to see what is going on, and it appear some sort of soap has been spilled onto the ice. What they don't know? @Rankle put it there from his hidden soap pocket on his hockey pants. They check the call and it was offsides! Wooo!
Colorado Raptors Capitan S42-Until Forever! Czechia Wants you! Ask about a transfer!!
Levi is mainly a calm player, but can also trash talk. The coach orders Levi obeys. The banter starts as soon as the judges are within earshot. It might say the judges are blind, who would need a white stick and a guide dog to help them, when they didn't see a clear situation so that it was a clear offside. The opponent's player was at least 3 meters in the offensive zone before getting possession of the puck. Levi tells them to watch the video more closely to see the situation and to watch it with their eyes open. The situation progresses so that the judges warn Levi about his behavior, but look at the situation. The referees then notice that the opponent is clearly offside, so the goal is disallowed and the puck is taken to the center area.
Billy Herrington welcomes the familiar reporter into his home, offering them a seat while he pours two cups of coffee. The interview starts off as expected—questions about the upcoming season, how Atlanta plans to bounce back after last year’s disappointing playoff exit, and what personal goals Billy has set for himself. He answers those with his usual mix of confidence and humor, talking about wanting to be more of a leader on and off the ice and how the team is hungrier than ever. But as the conversation flows, Billy steers it toward something more personal. He opens up about the mental side of the game, crediting his sports psychologist, Van Darkholme, for helping him develop the right mindset to handle pressure. He also talks about the importance of the friendships he’s built, both in Atlanta and on Team Canada, mentioning how much playing internationally has meant to him. One quote that catches attention online is when Billy says, "Winning championships is the goal, but if you're not enjoying the grind with the people around you, what’s the point? Hockey’s about more than just lifting a cup." The interview gets a great reception. Fans appreciate his honesty, and teammates reach out to tell him they loved what he had to say. It sets the tone for the season—Billy is locked in, but he’s also never forgotten why he plays the game.
Written Option 1:
As soon as the goal is scored, our coach’s furious yell echoes from the bench, but the video coach is scrambling to find the replay. There’s no immediate challenge, and the refs are already gathering at center ice. That’s when the coach locks eyes with me and jerks his head toward the officials. I know exactly what that means—stall. I skate over casually, feigning confusion, then turn to the nearest referee. “Hey, ref, did you see their winger cross-check our guy before that shot?” I gesture vaguely toward the crease, drawing his attention away. As he frowns, I lean in conspiratorially. “I mean, I don’t wanna say anything, but that was a pretty big hit. Just saying.” Meanwhile, I keep an eye on our video coach, who’s frantically rewinding footage. The ref glances over at his partners, buying me precious seconds. I sense that won’t last long, so I “accidentally” drop my stick, letting it clatter loudly onto the ice—right in another ref’s path. He stumbles, just enough to make him pause and glare at me. “Oops, my bad!” I say, holding up my hands innocently. By now, our bench erupts in protest—perfect timing. The coach finally waves to signal the challenge, and the refs, distracted enough to miss the delay, turn back to address it. I grin to myself. Mission accomplished.
