Some Nights You Just Show Up
Easy save. I could smother it, kill the play. Instead I kick it out to their other forward.
Not a mistake. A choice. I’m bored and my team’s up four goals and I want to make another save. So I manufacture chaos, create my own work, turn an easy night into something that feels like hockey.
That’s the first thirty-six minutes.
The second half, I’m making four saves in a row and watching the fifth one trickle past my pad anyway.
