Pumply Spee

A pumply spee is a play on words of "pump-up speech".

In the NHL game franchise mode, whenever your team is on the brink of greatness (or disaster) the game prompts you with the option to "Hold Team Meeting". During this meeting, you're given the choice between 4 different styles of meeting. In previous generations of NHL they'd just be Option 1, 2, 3, or 4 and in NHL 17 they actually describe the choice verbosely; Assertive, Demanding, Persuasive, and Motivating.

Whatever kind of meeting you choose to hold will yield a change in player morale, as seen in the image above. You can't please everyone, it seems. The Good Dudes, however, found a loophole. If your team is on a win-streak your GM will ask to hold a team meeting before every game and if your team/player morale is already at maximum then choosing Option 2 or Demanding would yield a net gain of 0 morale. Nobody would get fired up and nobody would get upset and lose morale.

Therefore, the joke is that the coach would come in before every single game (since the BFFs NEVER lose we are always on a win-streak) and deliver a big pumply spee to the players. The players would roll their eyes and say, "whatever, coach", or "this speech again?" and go win the game anyway on their terms.
