AAOOOSC! #2

In the EHP (Evil Hockey Players) HQs, all the bad guys are at the meeting room, sitting around a big, black table.
"I lost!" Ryan exclaims, slamming his fists on the table. "I lost to the those Penguins 6 to 3!"
"You shnooze, you losesh," Claude Giroux tells Ryan.
"I did not sleep during the day!"
"Well, it's all about the goalie--It's your fault that your team lost because you let those pucks go in," Carey Price explains.
"Grrrr...."
"Okay my players, calm down!" Jimmy Howard, the master of the EHP, does some motions with his hands, signaling to quiet down. "We are not here to talk about how bad we can be as goalies--we are here to talk about our plans."
"Okay, sho what'sh dee plan?" Giroux asks.
"Well, we got to see if that rookie's doing his job properly with step one," Ryan points out.
"Then it's you who takes step two," Carey tells Ryan.
"Then I take step three," Jimmy said proudly, "because the best comes last."
Silence fills the air for a moment.
"But what does Claude and Carey do?" Ryan asks Jimmy.
"They go with me." Jimmy pats Carey and Giroux's back at the same time. "And they'll help me."
"So they're like your assistants?"
"Only for this plan. Now, let's see how the rookie's doing--shall we?"

The next day in San Jose, Jonathan brings Kari to meet Antti Niemi.
Jonathan walks up the steps with Kari behind him and knocks on the door.
"OMG, I'm gonna meet the Master!" Kari squeals and jumps up and down excitedly, clapping his hands very fast.
Jonathan sighs. "Calm down, Kari--Niemi doesn't like--"
The door opens and Antti appears. "Hello?"
Kari screams with excitement. Antti screams with fright.
"OHMIGOSH!!! It's you! It's really you!!!" Kari jumps up and down, like a happy little puppy.
"Don't DO THAT!!!" Antti snaps. "NEVER scream like that!!! Ugh." Antti leans on the doorjamb and stuffs his head between his arms.
"Yea, I was about to warn him, but it was too late," Jonathan tells Antti.
"Oh, well hello there, Jonny--didn't see you there." Antti stands up straight and waves at Jonathan."Who's this that you had brought along?"
"Oh, that's Kari Leh--"
"AndIwanttobeinyourgroup!" Kari says quickly.
"You want to be one of us?" Antti asks, understanding the jumble of words Kari said.
"Yes!!!"
"Hm" Antti scratches his head. "Come inside and let's chat over some tea."
"Sweet!" Kari runs inside the house.
"Uh, what should I do?" Jonathan asks, pointing at himself.
"Oh we'll be in my meeting room, so you can be in the living room, watching TV and eating anything you want." Antti suggested.
"Oh thanks!"
"Wish me luck!" Antti walks inside his house and sees Kari touching a picture frame. "Kari! Don't touch that!"
Jonathan walks inside and closes the door behind him. He opens the refrigerator and pulls out a leftover box of pizza. He walks to the living room and turns on the TV and begins to eat the cold pizza while flipping through the channels.
"Food Network, no...Golf Channel, no...Cartoon Network, no...HBO, no...ESPN, YES!!!" Jonathan begins to watch the Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder highlights. "Go LeBroooooooon Jaaaaaaamessss!!! Whoooooo!!! Three pointer by Chris Booooooosh!!! Birdman is awesooooome! Including D-Waaaaaade!!! Heat!
"Oooo, NHL highlights! Hey look, there's me! Wow, I look pretty serious in that uniform--and fat! Oh, look! There's Nemo! Wow, he's got skill! Don't wanna mess with him! Hey look, there's Kane! And Crawford and Shaw! Hm, they're pretty good...Yea, time for the Eastern Conference! Oh, I see Sid! Whoa, whoa, whoa, why is he talking to Ryan Miller?! He's your opponent, Sidney! Oh man, I gotta call him!" Jonathan reaches for Antti's home phone and calls Sidney.
"Hello?" Sidney answers after two rings.
"Hey, Sidney! Can I ask you a question?"
"Uh...sure."
"Okay, so I was watching last night's games' highlights and I saw you talking to Ryan Miller. Why were you talking to him?"
"Well, I was asking what plans he had. And I found out that he works of the EHP Society."
"Oh...really? Not only your enemy, also mine...whoa."
"Yea. But why are you calling from Antti's phone?"
"'Cause I'm at his house."
"Oh, okay then...Talk to you later! Bye!"
"Bye." Jonathan hangs up and takes another bite of his pizza. He looks up at the screen. "Hey, LeBron! Don't be such a ball-hogger!"
