Cal Juice is a terrible liar and doesn't wear a letter so this whole situation makes no sense. Cal Juice skates over to the ref and tries to say something about how the play was offside but just sort of mumbles quietly and the ref tells him to fuck off. Skating back to the bench the coach yells at him "what the fuck happened?" and all Cal Juice can do is cry a little and drink some juice. It's fine though, Cal Juice is a goal scorer, he'll get the goal back by putting one in the opposing net rather than gaming the system. If you want to be the best it's a good idea to actually be the best instead of winning on a technicality anyway. The whole review rule is dumb as shit, if the ref didn't catch it then it didn't really effect the play anyway. Play better defense ya hot dog.

I think that Dominik is the kind of person that is going to be friendly and supportive during an interview, but he isn't going to go out of his way to give any new information that the interviewer isn't already going to know. Of course, because in this scenario the interviewer is someone that he already knows, it is likely that he will give up more to them than he would to anyone else. He's not the most interesting person to talk to in an interview, gives a lot of the normal hockey cliches, but he recognizes the value in supporting his teammates and saying nothing but great things about them and the team he plays for. It's an honor to be a part of the SHL at the end of the day, and Dominik wants to be a good representation of his team and the league, for any child out there that is looking for a career goal.

Talking to the refs falls within the bounds of the rules of the game, so that's what Celly is most likely to do in this type of situation. However, they are also not really above bullshitting about an injury if it comes down to it, so if just talking to the referee isn't enough of a time wasting strategy, they are perfectly willing to start an argument. Obviously that comes with the risks of being penalized, but it's worth it for the attempt. Plus, Rage is Rage, nobody is really going to be particularly surprised by a player on this team blowing their theoretical top about a theoretically missed call or missed injury. And, you know, the whole point of the exercise is to buy the video coach some time, and an argument is most certainly capable of executing that aim with ease.

So, yes. Celeste elects to talk to the refs. It's the easiest option really.

Written option 1

A grave injustice has occurred... The other team scored a goal. We, the noble Yukon Malamute, face an imbalance in trade! A deficit of goals! And yet there may be hope! But also, there may not. Because, much like the conservative instinct to enact austerity measures in a recession does nothing, our video coach has failed to actively engage in his role so we need to see the replay on the Jumbotron to know whether to challenge. This means we need to buy ourselves some time, and no one is better at buying time than I! As a Nobel Prize holder in the economic sciences, I am able to dazzle the mind with discussions of economics both micro and macro! I have been known to captivate a room with my deep understanding of both supply and demand! Now, Mr. Referee, please prepare yourself for an intellectual delight as I begin to...

Oh, wait...

Coach says we're challenging now

Yeah so there was a goal that coach needed reviewed but he wanted me to distract the refs before he threw his flag. I went out to Fraser the ref and gave him a snow shower. He wasn’t too happy with me at that moment but then I took my glove off and smeared his visor with my hand. A linesman then came over and asked what I was doing and I told him I wanted to make Fraser blind because I didn’t want him to call any penalties on me for making a scene. At that moment I skated to the opposing teams bench and started grabbing sticks from players and tossing them to the ice. Players started coming off the bench and pushing me and our team around. I was cackling because I was having some fun and no one was getting hurt.
My coach eventually called for me and I skated over to the bench and gave him a snow shower. He was also less than pleased like Fraser. All in all we won our challenge and went on with the game. There was one time where as I was skating for the puck Fraser poked his leg out and tripped me up. We laughed about it as I went offsides and he blew the whistle.

Phoenix is a pretty personable so I think he'd probably go over to the refs and joke with them about silly things. Then like once they are getting ready to go, to delay more he might walk over to the opposing teams bench and call someone something silly in swedish, just to rile them up, trying to get them to get the refs back over to him. You know get them really good and distracted. Then explain to the ref, I just said "fish are really nice" in Swedish. I don't know why they'd be so upset about that, go ask them and skate back over to them and say it again with a ???. Not sure why fish are really nice offends you. Really stupid stuff like that, just mess around. I suppose long term it wouldn't work, cause people would catch on. If I was playing my brother or sister, it'd be easier, cause I'd just call cheese, Ocey Docey, and she would lose her shit at me and we'd probably have a full on sibling argument on ice.

Ubba lodbrok, center for the Philly forge of the simulation hockey league, former player for the Anchorage armada of the simulation major junior hockey league, and current representative of the Finnish national team, has come forward to try and distract the refs. Why? Because the frittata who looks as offsides and replays fell asleep cuz he celebrated a little hard when the birds went out and won and the stupor bowl. So what does Ubba do? He yabba Dabba Ubbas all over the area where he's allowed to be. What does that mean you ask? He starts howling, chirping the refs, pulling chickens out of his pants, barking at the opposing player, normal caveman type stuff to distract from what's really going on. Finally he gets word that the play wasn't offsides, and he should stop.making a fool of himself. Only problem is, he's now earned himself a penalty for losing his cool up in here.

Is this happening because Viktor is old now? The stars get to play long minutes and score goals, while the ancient veterans have to now effectively be rodeo clowns? Viktor will do anything that's asked of him (to a fault, even), but he's definitely going to be scowling the entire time for this one. All out chaos is probably the best bet for this situation. Viktor is going to rope in other old geezers like Justin Time (effectively a pile of dust) and Toasty (effectively a pile of bread crumbs). His chosen retirement home friends will immediately get into a yelling match (perhaps over Toasty not having a last name?), while Vik will have approached the refs to give them an impromptu elevator pitch on allowing dogs to train to be linesmen. The officials of the SHL are already familiar with Viktor rarely speaking, and then on occasion going on long-winded tangents about animals, so it won't be out of character at all.

Honestly, Solaire has a great way to distract the referees, as he would skate up to them and just start talking. He would start ranting and raving about his life back in the Dark Souls universe, and how that he has been teleported here and how he wants to get back, as well as how he doesn't really know what to do and starts even potentially having some crocodile tears as he does not know what to do with his life and wants to just get back to where he was. Solaire then continues to go into the tears mode, and goes to hug a referee, trying to make sure that he can get home and have the referees distracted to make sure the coaches can get what they need done. After all this talks, it clearly probably wouldn't work with the referees because they have heard it all before and they just kind of shoo Solaire on and try to start the game again.

Finally the summers in combination magic and hockey camp pay off. Usually the benefit is some dexterity, a bit of a flourish with the puck and stick, but now the misdirection can really come into play. Palming some years old fake blood packets, Barca hops over the boards for a line change, lands awkwardly on his ankle and falls. He attempts to get up and falls down again, and that's when the refs come over to check if everything is alright. A pouch is popped under his skate, and as he moves around a bit, a smear starts to develop on the ice. Seeing the blood the refs panic and call for the trainers to come on. Barca wallows in agony for a little, and eventually acquiesces and lets the trainers help him up and get slowly to the dressing room for further evaluation.
Wouldn't you know, but that entire ordeal took around 5 minutes, plenty of time for the video reviewer to get the call sorted.

Written Option #1:

With the goal potentially offside, for some odd reason they send Ville Sato-Maki who was already on the ice to distract the referees and delay the game a bit further without actually having them notice that he is intentionally trying to delay the game which could lead to a delay of game or unsportsmanlike penalty. And so, to achieve this and make his coaches happy, Ville skates to the referee and intentionally pretends like his skate blade got loose. Wobbling on the ice, he looks to the referee and other players to give him a tow to the bench but a slow tow as Sato-Maki continues to be unable to find his edge on the ice. Hopefully this gives the coaches enough time because Ville is looking like an idiot out there flopping around as if his blade got loose and the announcers in the arena are questioning why this is happening as they can still see the blade on the skate.
