There is absotuely zero chance that Pork Tenderloin would give a call like that any sort of creedence. He is not one to be intimidated by others and he also knows that as soon as you cave in once there are going to be more and more people trying to take advantage of you like this. That's why you dont negotiate with terrorists. If you want to make something bad happen, try me. Pork can defend his own grandmother's cat and he will not be coerced by these pranksters trying to mess with the integrity of a hockey game, even if it is just the preseason. Standing strong in the face of adversity is something that Pork Tenderloin has had to do time and time again over the course of his career and this would simply be another situation in which he has to turn inward for strength and trust his own internal guidance.

Written Task 2 What i do for offseason training is very simple. I simply replace every panel of my house, all my flooring with—artificial ice. Then I just never take my skates off. I always been working with my skating, whether I'm skating upstairs, skating downstairs. Just everything I do, I'm always skating and and also I just just skating with my work builds up ankle strength, builds up speed, builds up endurance. We don't need for a long season. And I mainly work on my my off time. This means I'm always getting faster, always getting more accurate defense. Who needs that? By working on these few things, I can get really good at one part of the game. And then be the God of that kind of the game. Jack of all trades, master of none. I will be the master of 1 and I will be the best at it. If you need someone to score goals i'll score aubrey goal i could ever score in this league i'll be the best goal scorer to ever score goals because that's why i'm first because if you ain't first you're last.

If my player were to get a call 15 minutes before the start of a pre-season game, they would go to the head coach and the GM of the team right away, no matter if it is a prank or not. Any threats towards family, even though it may be a pet can always get worse. If they are able to get their hands on my grandma's pet means they are able to get their hands on my grandma, as her cat never leaves the house. Then it would be the decision of the GM and/or the head coach to see if they would actually be willing to throw the game in order to get the result the phone call wanted. My player will always play his game no matter of what is ongoing, and will never decide to play worse just because of a threat, incentive ($$$) or anything like that. I don't think anyone would joke about kidnapping my grandma's cat and then a dog of cousin of opposing team’s goalie, since its so oddly specific I don't think anyone would think of that.

Written Option 2: At the end of the last season coach made a moving speech about the upcoming season that will be the last one before the expansion draft will break up the current group. So during their offseason training and training camp, what unusual methods does your player use to be the most hockey player that ever hockeyed? Wearing their gear all the time, expect maybe skates? Or maybe the other way around, rent a local rink and bring their furniture there so they can spend their summer with skates on? Learn to literally chew the puck? How much different it is compared to their earlier training? Or do they still keep it bit more grounded and take an extra jog here and there? And when season starts, does any of it actually help your player or the team?

At the end of last season in Seattle, we had some tough times. It’s hard to be a team that feels like they should be competing for the championship and fall short to the same team every year. This year feels different though it feels like we have a chance it feels almost like we are the favorite. It’s amazing to see what this team has become from where we were originally. There is such a good culture. There is such a good vibe and there is some incredible players here. The squad that oats and I have built are ready to take on anyone. It’s time for Seattle to back on top and raising the cup above their heads like we did a few seasons ago. Seattle rise again in Seattle will be at the top of the league for a long time. The coming expansion will not affect the Argonauts. We will come out of this stronger than we were before.

This is quite the conundrum that I’ve found myself in, especially considering that I’m a rookie and haven’t even played in the pros yet. Although, maybe that’s the point and they want to see if I can be bought. It’s definitely not worth risky my career over granny’s cat. So I’ll play this one cool and just let the game go as normal. If granny’s cat dies, she dies. Probably for the best anyway cuz granny is on the last step and doesn’t have much longer to live. No body, and I mean no body wants this cat in her will. So obviously this will end up being a prank and nothing will come of it and I’ll still end up with this cat. Cats and ducks do not mix. The more I think of this situation, the more I hope it’s really and granny’s cat goes by bye.

Fuck that cat! Tibuk Soonika doesn't sell out for anyone. In fact we may have a Jon Wick type of situation where the cat gets ganked and Tibuk is going to go on a rampage to punish those who would try and silence him. Going up and through the largest gangs imaginable to break down the betting rings and bring competitive hockey back into the line light. But who could be behind it? Are we talking major organized gangs from the US (we are based on Tampa Bay after all) or are we looking at over seas crime syndicates like the Yakuza? Once thing is certain the carnage that follows will all stem from the death of that one cat.

I should probably also mention Tibuk really doesn't care that the cat is dead. To be honest he hated that cat but screw his game and you are going to face the Piper.

Ana Söderström knows that the upcoming season will be a high-pressure situation where the Dragons will absolutely need to get the job done before likely losing a lot to the expansion draft, but she's never been one to make any massive changes to her training routine. Her athleticism and puck-tracking ability were already strong skills when she first came overseas, so a lot of her training over the years has been based on positioning, rebound control, decision-making, and mental control. The biggest change that Ana made to her training for the upcoming all-in push was spending more time on strength and conditioning. Playing 50 games a year in the SHL several seasons in a row was tough for anyone to manage, and the memories of the late slide during Ana's McBride season due to fatigue haven't left her brain. Otherwise, it's mostly just continuing with her methods, building chemistry with the two new defenders who were brought to the Dragons this year, and preparing for the long grind of the SHL season.

Radley slowly placed his cell phone back on the shelf of his locker. He closed his eyes and thought about the last few words of the phone call before the line went flat. “Radley. You need to remember the plan. You have no choice. What will you do if Granny Gin’s Mr Squiggles is made to “disappear”. You know she loves that cat, more than she loves you. Do not call the police. We know some important people who are watching.” Radley walked up to the washroom sink and splashed water in his face. Then in the reflection he noticed a message on the team bulletin board - “Do not respond to any unknown calls. Opposing team mascot was fired at 9:00AM yesterday morning and started calling family members throughout the league, trying to create chaos and derail the fairness and sportsmanship across the league.” Instant relief. Radley was ready to lace up his skates and get going. Clear minds prevail. It was another reminder to rely on his communication with the team to find success this season. Time to go for the win.

Written Option 1:

At first given how it was an unknown number Sonja did not even wanted to answer but something inside of her was like 'eh, why not. Lets see what this call is about'. Well it sure was strange call and Sonja response was pretty simple to something like that. First off all, she is far too competitive to try and throw a game. She would rather do her best and be able to look into the mirror after than to taint her career with something like this, even if we are talking about a pre-season. On top considering that we are talking about pets Sonja is willing to take the bluff. As such her answer is a simple "Fuck off" and with that she hangs the phone. She does not appreciate to be messed with and she for sure treated this phone call as a prank call. After all who would threaten people with something like that? As such she didn't even bother to tell anyone else either.

Option 1) River does not tolerate fools. She hasn't even met either of her grandmothers, let alone knows whether they had any sort of pet, so to hear someone try and mess with the integrity of her game and her team's important pre-season record? All she could do is scoff. What are they going to do, kill her? No, this isn't Taken. So for the rest of the game, as the other team's goalie stares her down in what might be an intimidation tactic and what might be a "bro what the fuck my dog is in danger" look, River resolutely stares right back at him with a raised eyebrow and a "bro I don't know your dog why should I care" look. And also stunts on him repeatedly and passes the puck to Aaron so he can also stunt on him repeatedly. The Whalers win the preseason game in a blowout, the goalie leaves the rink in tears, and River blocks the number on her phone and proceeds to never think about it again.

Prompt 2

As he gets that much closer to ten seasons in the SHL, Andren has had to innovate on his approach to training in the off-season and given that last season was an absolute resounding disappointment for both his team and himself personally, he's going with something a little different. He calls it "Be Hockey" in which he seeks to embody himself as all things hockey. First step? Meditation. Listening to old play by plays from the greatest games of the past, he seeks to bring himself into the mindset of those who went before him. Second step? Embody hockey, as he makes himself a suit of armour made of hockey pucks, he uses that to train. He can be seen running through his well to do neighborhood, clad in rubber armour. Third step? He eats ice shavings from the home rink, introducing a little bit with each day so that he can fully embody the hockeyness of the arena. With these techniques, he feels that he's sure to do well this season.

Put quite simply, no one blackmails Jesus Murphy. The moment he heard a voice on the other end of a call from a blocked number suggesting that he throw a game, he immediately activated the call recording and tracing app installed by the team's security manager on his phone for situations where celebrities would be targeted by scammers, criminals, and general ne'er-do-wells. This immediately allowed the team's security personnel to collaborate with local police to track down the guilty party. But this wasn't enough for Murphy. On the back of a tip from the security director, the location of the caller was shared with him which led to a little bit of unscheduled fan outreach on Murphy's part. Upon arriving at a run down house on the outskirts of town, Murphy immediately entered a meet-and-greet with the fan responsible for the attempted extortion that left them severely wounded and awaiting a follow-up meet and greet from other members of the team in the hospital in the coming weeks.

***JaytheGreat*** · 04-21-2025, 02:42 AM

Written Option 1

Even though it's preseason I don't negotiate with people asking for ransoms, get a really job. It might still happen because I don't know what the other team's goalie has going on. The SHL has a strict sportsmanship policy and throwing games is a huge violation against it and I don't want to be suspended or worse trying to violate him. The caller didn't even give any proof that they even have cat and a dog let alone the cat being my grandmother's. I highly doubt this guy went to Poland just to try and steal a cat, although if he did I can appreciate the effort. Wins and losses in the preseason are meaningless to me and as a defenseman I can't really effect the outcome that would be needed for that specific scoreline. In the end it doesn't matter because my grandma is allergic to cats and can't own on anyways.
