Prompt 2

I think both scenarios can be very tense; when your team is leading by one or is down by one at the end of the third period in a regular season game. If your team is leading by one it's especially exhausting to watch as a goalie because if you let in a goal that means the game is tied and you could've prevented that. If your team is down by one all you can do is make sure the other team doesn't score again because if you're near the end of the third period and you're down by two - things don't look great. Obviously it's not really up to you because it's a sim, but it's still exciting to watch. More exciting than a game where one team is up 5-0 and is totally killing the other team. During a playoff game I'd say a tie is more exciting, especially when it's a game that went to OT. I don't think anything gets more exciting than winning a playoff game in OT. Hypothetically speaking, since I've never experienced that myself with my team.
