![]() Registered Senior Member Code: For Halloween promotion your teams PR department wants a short horror movie to reach new audiences and as that is about as much work as they feel like doing for it they have your player figuring out the small details like casting and plot. So what kind of movie it will be? Is it going to have a monster and if it does what will it be and who is going to play that role? Or maybe bit more psychological horror? Reliving a game seven loss from the past or is it going to involve hockey at all? What kind of movie your player would create and what role they would play in it? I think if we're diving into the realm of horror, revisiting the classic "The Thing" by John Carpenter would be a great start for a premise! But how do we tie that into the concept of a Game Seven Series loss? Well from a psychological approach, the team takes a 3-0 lead going into game four. Spirits are high, with just a single win to claim the cup the path ahead should be straight forward. BUT. An alien virus crash lands into the team's practice facility, and one by one the members become infected. Going into game four of the seven game series, everything seems fine, UNTIL! The coach starts making the wrong play calls, subbing players in and out, taking the goalie out of net way too early, eventually leading to a loss. We go into game 5, some of the teams players start acting weird, playing out of character, and the team loses again dropping to 3-2. Of course , the main protagonist of the film starts to catch on, and over the time between games hunts out the alien virus while rallying his remaining "human" teammates. After a close game 6 loss, we go into game 7 all tied up 3-3. the finally of the movie sees the team go down 0-6 at half time, with a climax of the main character hunting down the aliens among the team during the half. The survivors emerge victorious, but must battle on into the second half of game seven of the series, down six points. With a full team effort, having just battled against an alien virus, they somehow pull out with a victory. But as the screen fades to black, we see the opposing teams coach with a glint in his eye, seeming having been infected by the same alien virus. 302 words. ![]() ![]() |
