Option 1: It should come as no real surprise that somebody as driven as Simo takes not just himself but everything about his play extremely seriously: not to a superstitious level, but the man has a firm routine for practices and for games that he firmly does not like to have disrupted. As such, he hates pranks being played on him; as an obvious consequence, he is a frequent target of pranks from new team members and people who don't know him very well. Be it graffiti on his helmet, stealing his bright blue stick tape or hiding eggs in his skates so he cracks them, the unwise and the foolhardy have done it all to Simo.

In the moment, Simo never reacts. Pranksters need a reaction to get their kicks, he knows that, and all that happens is a certain glazing over of the eyes. At that point, those in the know take pains to keep a reasonable distance from the prankster, because they know very well that a freight train is barrelling down the tracks towards the hapless joker and anybody nearby is going to get splattered.

Some say the best revenge is living well. They don't know how satisfying it is to look down at somebody who just froze your socks and give them a serial killer smile.
