Once upon a time, there was a hockey team called the "Sudden Death Squad". They were playing in the semifinals and were determined to break the record with their powerful slap shots. But, just before the game started, they found out that their star player had fallen ill.
Suddenly, a wild-card appeared - a penguin who loved playing hockey! The penguin offered to help the team and they agreed. The penguin was a natural on the ice, making amazing slap shots and helping the team win the game.
The Sudden Death Squad went on to win the series, breaking the record and becoming champions, all thanks to their new unexpected player, the penguin. The end.
