- Abbe! Coach yells. Go on out there on the ice, our video viewer seems to have taken a nap and we need time to make sure that goal wasnt a good one. Do what ever it takes for us to win time.
Abbe becomes a bit surprised at the orders as he never been the player who talkes om referees, but the team goes first. So he steps over the rinkside and skates past the visitors celebrating and comes up to Carlsson, who is the main referee this game.
- Hey man. Didnt you guys see that it was a bad goal? It is clearly an offside!
- Nah it looked good from where I was standing and Bert, one of the linesmen said it was good. And I trust that dude.
- You trust Bert?? Come on. He barely knows how to tie his skates. Look, one of them has already untangled itself.
Abbe points at berts left skate and it sure is untangled.
- If you want to challenge my decision thats fine. But its your coach thats got o do it. And if e doesont do it in the next 10 seconds the goal is good.
With the feeling o f being defeated in conversation Abbe jumps in on the bench to tell coach he got about 3 seconds to make a decision
Zeus Storm is ready for media day and all the reporter wants to talk to him about is his thoughts on the season and the team performance. That is not what Zeus wants to talk about as this is his rookie season after spending four years in the SMJHL and is ready to talk about himself and let the world know who he is. He starts off talking about the acquisitions that Chicago made to try and make strides towards being a competitor after years of basement dwelling but Zeus quickly pivots to begin his campaign for the Rookie of the Year votes. Zeus makes sure to trash Cristoforro and Chris McZehrl, his main competitors, and let the world know that they are given free reign to compile stats. However they are not efficient players and overall have been a net negative for their respective teams and will continue to be. The only true elite rookie is Zeus Storm as he carries a line for Chicago with ultra premium efficiency and ultra premium results when he is on the ice. The negativity spread about his adversaries and positivity spread about himself surely made for a wonderful media day for the big man Zeus.
Option 2
In his start of the year interview with Finnish News Network sports reporter and columnist, Seppian Kristianen, Kristian Seppanen, the star right defenceman and assistant captain of the Atlanta Inferno hockey team of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the Simulation Hockey League, otherwise known as the SHL, chooses to discuss last season, and what it means for the season ahead. Kristian Seppanen would recognize that last season saw the Atlanta Inferno with a dominant regular season, but a shortcoming once the Inferno reached the playoffs. He would then contrast that with a slow start to the new season. Seppanen would highlight that it may be a slow start, but he's working hard and wants to save some juice for the playoffs - to finally claim the cup that he hasn't achieved yet. He would also take time to discuss the upcoming expansion and the future of his career - noting that he's soon to be regressing, and wants to make it clear to fans that he hopes to finish his career out wearing the Atlanta Inferno colours.

- Thanks for having us Alexi, so, you're entering your 12th season in the SHL, you've won 2 Challenge Cups & numerous individual awards over your career, what keeps you motivated to keep showing up to the rink each day?
Yeah sure, you know, it really just comes down to having fun, I feel like I can still make an impact out on the ice, and in the locker room here in Toronto. The run to the Conference Finals last season was a great experience, even if ultimately we did fall a bit short of our goals. This season is supposed to be a rebuilding season in Toronto and yeah, we got off to a bit of a tough start, but we're playing good hockey right now and I feel that we can go on another playoff run with the group that we have. I need to do my part to start cutting down on the goals that opponents have been scoring against us. I do have some long-term career goals that seem like they could be within reach with my role with the Stars. 1,000 points would be a really cool club to be a part of. I feel like I still have a few seasons left in the SHL.
Considering I had control of were to steer the conversation we'd probably talk about a lot of different things. I think the key topics would be my thoughts in being traded to Winnipeg this off season and how I've gelled with my new teammates and coaches. I'd also talk about my expectations for me and the team this season and going forward. We'd talk about playing for a legendary GM some hall of famer veterans and some of the top young players in the league. It is a totally new experience going from playing on the team I spent my entire career in and now coming in to a team as the best player and THE veteran. I'd also talk about playing with Quebec in the IIHF tournament and what it was like to play the international tournament on home ice. Lastly I think we'd probably talk about my personal life, living in Winnipeg vs Baltimore, getting settled into a new city and even maybe a glimpse into my dating life.
Rest In Peace Dangel
1st SHL Goal - S52 Game 1 vs Tampa 3. New England Wolfpack , Jakub Bruchevski 1 (Eko Van Otter 1, Delver Fudgeson 2) at 8:10
As a long time (grizzled veteran) player in this great league, I know all the ins and outs of exploiting anything and everything to buy us time. Usually it's after an icing. Goalies have their little tricks like going for a new water on the bench. I like to pretend I have an issue with my stick, then skate to get a new one, then pretend there's an issue with the skate and have the equipment guy look at it. For this, however, it will require something a little more crafty. Obviously I will start by getting into it with the opposing team. Give the goalscorer a little shove. But if that doesn't do it, I'll make a b-line right for their goalie. That'll draw a crowd, and hopefully buy our coaches some time to get it together and challenge the goal. If all else fails, I will do nothing short of defecating myself at center ice. Actually, I'll do that too. I am not taking that minus for anyone.
If there's one thing Clarence Loves it's talking about himself. So of course he will start with hockey and how his career has gone so far. From Ottawa to Montreal to Hamilton, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. It's also been a bit of a disappointment if he's being honest. Not so much with the performance of his teams but he's disappointed in his own performance. He's been putting in the work but it's just not translating on the ice. After a brief chat about hockey he would go on to show off his growing blu-ray collection and then probably make the reporting watch him play whatever CRPG he's currently on. He's on Pillars of Eternity right now and is enjoying it. While the combat is a little slow he really enjoys the story. He's looking forward to the sequel and already has five games queued up after that. He would probably finish with a little more hockey talk about his goals for the rest of the season. Mainly, play better.
While in the juniors, Jett Labyrinth always liked to do one interview at the beginning of the year to set the record straight on some things that happened the year before. As a rookie in the big leagues now, Jett wasn’t sure he had enough clout in the organisation to make it happen this year, but he did end up getting approval from the Aurora front office under the condition that it be with Aurora TV, the team’s official media outlet. Jett first opened up about the disappointing end of his junior career, after getting swept by the Armada in the second round. He was pretty vulnerable in saying how he felt like he let Newfoundland down. This part received mixed reactions from Berserkers fans with some agreeing with him while others were sympathetic and knew how much effort he put in, and sometimes it just doesn’t go your way in hockey. He also touched on how he expects the Aurora to be one of the best teams in the SHL in a few years, which definitely hyped up the fans in Winnipeg, and caused fans of other teams to bookmark the quote to potentially use against him in the future.
Sunrise probably would not take part in the shenanigans, arguing that not following fair play (even more so in our current times with all the sorts of technology tracking every game) would likely invite all sorts of punishments tied to the lack of fair play. With that in mind, he would probably try to convince the rest of the team that they should not stoop to such behaviour, not to mention it would probably invite comparisons to a certain time in the history of the Calgary Dragons franchise.
If the team started some sort of distraction in spite of that, he would probably sit it out. Should the manager complain, he would recommend that they just traded him off. If that is the sort of attitude they expect from the team, they might as well send him off somewhere else. It is not like Sunrise really needs the money or anything anyway. (152 words)
