Welcome to the 2016 Stanley Cup Finals. We have a great matchup this season between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the San Jose Sharks. While the players from those two teams battle it out for the Cup, a number of other NHL teams will try exert their own influence on the game. Both the Penguins and the Sharks will be rostering four players for this matchup. There will be no additions to those rosters throughout the game. Either of the two teams competing for the Cup will win the ultimate prize when the other team is eliminated from the game, and they are at even numbers with the remaining teams/players (3-3, 2-2, etc.). In a strange ploy for ratings, the NHL has decided that neither team will win the Cup if both teams are eliminated. Play hard, have fun, and Let’s Go Red Wings!

Standard mafia rules apply with the following changes/clarifications:

Order of Operations:
Current Night Mafia Actions
Off Night Mafia Actions
Civ Actions
All Kills

Any posts more than one minute after Night is declared will result in that player being removed from the game. Dead talk will result in the death of a teammate of that player. However, posts consisting solely of a single hockey picture/gif/video will be exempt. Please do not angle shoot here, keep it fun.

If a vote goes to a majority, there will be a 10 minute twilight period before the end of the round. If votes change and negate the majority, the countdown will be reset the next time a majority is reached.

No majorities with 6 or fewer players remaining.

OT will be 5 minutes, then we go to a shootout (RNG). Any player may switch their vote in OT.

Do not directly quote PMs from Gary Bettman (the mod) or address Bettman directly in thread. He doesn’t like to interact with the little people and will AA you at his discretion. He will entertain requests for a vote count, however.

You may reveal any information or claim you would like, unless you are specifically instructed not to in a PM. Mafia will have safe claims.

Don't be a dick.

List of players in order of signup:

tsywake - Shawn Michaels, Penguins Mafia vig hitter - lynched d2
You don’t know much about this whole hockey thing, but a bunch of people started tweeting about #HBK, so you needed to find out what was going on. The Penguins fans readily brought you into the fold. It turns out, you kind of like it, or at least the publicity you got from it. They named a Primanti Bros. sandwich after you and everything. So in return, you are going to strike up the band and deal out a bit of Sweet Chin Music. You have a single vig hit that you may use at any time. You may choose to use it any night like you would a regular mafia hit. You may also use it as a day hit, but you must confirm it with the mod first, and I reserve the right to post a Shawn Michaels gif when you use it. You can not use this hit within 15 minutes of a deadline or otherwise try to make things difficult for me. Any protection set up the previous night will carry over to the day hit, and it will not hit through any passive protection potentially in play, so it is not an automatic kill. Don’t make me regret having a bit of fun with this.

DaDeacs - Toronto - civ gf hunter hit n2
You are the Toronto Maple Leafs. Let’s face it, you’ve had a tough time of it lately. It has been a few years since you made the playoffs, you are in a complete rebuild mode, and your only notable star (no, Dion Phaneuf doesn’t count) not only got traded, but is now in the Stanley Cup Finals. You guys hated him anyway, right? In fact, you hated him so much that you can use it to your advantage in this game. You know that Phil Kessel is the Penguin Godfather. You may also investigate one player each night to determine if he/she is the Pittsburgh mafia godfather. Investigations will come back “Kessel” or “not Kessel”

Numbers - Matt Murray - Penguins Mafia Janitor lynched d6
You are Matt Murray. Going into this season, you were a non factor. However, injuries have left you to clean up the mess in net behind an occasionally porous Penguins’ defence. As such, you are a janitor in this game. Once during the game, you may remove all evidence of one of your mafia’s kills, leaving just the body. You and your team will learn the role of the deceased, but the town will not. You do not personally have to be the hitter in order to use this power. It may be used in conjunction with the vig hit from Shawn Michaels, but only if that hit is used at night.

Anonymous - Carolina - vanilla civ hit n1
You are the Carolina Hurricanes. You were basically in a rebuild mode this year, and it looks like you still have some way to go. You were in the playoff hunt much longer than expected, though. This was probably due to Coach Bill Peters and the power of #TacoTuesday (not really though, as Eddie Lack had a disappointing season). Everyone is hoping for improvement next season, but for now, you are just a vanilla civ.

timdunk - Nashville - vanilla civ lynched d3
You are the Nashville Predators. Sometimes, life just isn't fair. You've got a pretty strong collection of players, an All Star goalie and you play in a great town. However, you are also stuck in the Central division meat grinder. You were able to make it in to the playoffs this season, but you aren't quite over the hump yet. At least you've got an awesome place to spend the rest of the off-season. You are a vanilla civ.

Chaos - Buffalo - vanilla civ hit n1
You are the Buffalo Sabers. Last season, you tanked in order to get Connor McDavid, but it didn’t work anyway because the Oilers. Jack Eichel is a pretty good consolation prize, though, and while you didn’t make much headway in the standings this season, the team was certainly more competitive. Next year could be a return to respectability, or just more of the same. In this game, you are a vanilla civ.

bym051d - Colorado - vanilla civ hit n6
You are the Colorado Avalanche, a once proud franchise that left Quebec City and became a festering pile of dog shit. Like, seriously, you guys were a cesspool of humanity. Fuck you and your whole team. You are a vanilla civ.

DV7

Tejas

lokisapocalypse - Los Angeles - civ gf hunter hit n4
You are the L.A. Kings. You have had a very strong run the past few years, but you were not able to get out of the first round of the playoffs this season. Worse than that, you were knocked out by the Sharks, the same team you knocked out last year by winning 4 straight after dropping the first three against them. So you've always got that. You can strike the next blow in the rivalry this game. You know that Joe Pavelski is the Sharks Godfather. You may also investigate one player each night to determine if he/she is the San Jose mafia godfather. Investigations will come back “Pavelski” or “not Pavelski”.

romanov - Joe Thornton - Sharks Mafia Vig Hitter hit n3 (twice)
You are Joe Thornton. When you started your career in Boston, you were one of the biggest stars in the game. Then the lockout happened and you disappeared. Ok, yeah, you won the Hart trophy, but who remembers that? Nobody watches West Coast hockey. Still, you have amassed over 1300 points and 1100 PIMs in your career, showing that your stick is as dangerous as your fists or, well, your stick. In this game you have a single additional vig hit that you may use any night.

jtp - Chicago - civ vig hit n7
You are the Chicago Blackhawks, one of the most consistently good teams in the last decade. This season, unfortunately, the most memorable mark your team made was when Duncan Keith tried to decapitate Charlie Coyle near the end of the season. As such, you have one vig hit that you can choose to use any night during the game.

Eagles

gouda - Montreal - civ angel hit d1
You are the Montreal Canadiens. Over the years, your team has been known for its great goaltending, from Jacques Plante to Patrick Roy to Carey Price. You have the ability to make saves in this game as well, as you are the Angel. You may not protect yourself, and you may not protect the same player three consecutive nights. You are encouraged to act in a condescending manner to the other players and to make the occasional comment in French, but that is at your discretion.

Boston

damo

sd3 - Sidney Crosby, Penguins Mafia role blocker - lynched d4
You are Sidney Crosby. You are the biggest name in the game, and have been so since you were drafted. You haven’t always been the best player on your team, and your team hasn’t necessarily achieved as much as expected from a generational talent like yourself, but you still command the attention of the public (and the league’s PR) like no one else. Because, at times, it seems like no one else in the league matters, you can turn this to your advantage as a role blocker. Each night, you may pick one target. That target will be unable to use any active powers they may have. The role block will not interfere with any passive powers, and you should be mindful of the order of operations. You may choose whether or not to use this power each night, and you may not target the same player on consecutive nights.

tic - St. Louis - vanilla civ lynched d1
You are the St. Louis Blues. You have once again come up short in the playoffs, despite a third straight 100 point season. Also, your coach may be insane, or a modern day Mike Keenan, though the latter implies the former. You are a vanilla civ in this game.

Gooner - hit n5

RHTB&G (Raise) - Washington - vanilla civ AA'd d7
Washington Capitals - Raise - You are the Washington Capitals. You won the President’s Trophy this season and looked pretty much unstoppable most of the year. Of course, then came the playoffs. You shouldn't have expected to be more than a vanilla civ in a game about the Stanley Cup Finals. You are, in fact, a vanilla civ.

Toogs - Phil Kessel, Penguins Mafia Godfather - lynched d7
You are Phil Kessel. You have been the Penguins’ most dynamic player in this season’s playoffs, overcoming a somewhat disappointing regular season after coming over from the Maple Leafs. Given that you look like you could be the hot dog vendor down the street, instead of just a customer, you are the Godfather for the Penguins mafia. Any standard investigations against you will come back as “not mafia.” There is one player/team searching for you that will learn your identity if they find you.

QT

Deacsfan27 - Joe Pavelski, Sharks Mafia Godfather, lynched d5
You are Joe Pavelski. You are the leading scorer for the Sharks these playoffs, but I doubt anyone not living in California could pick you out of a lineup. As such, you are the Sharks Godfather in this game. Any standard investigations against you will come back as “not mafia.” There is one player/team searching for you that will learn your identity if they find you.

Day 1 starts now and ends at 10:30:59 Tuesday morning. All timing will be determined by timestamps.

I'm currently over Grand Island Nebraska on my way back to DC from San Fran. The gogo internet is now twice as expensive and half as fast. Typical.
