Preparing for the playoffs was just like preparing for any other game in a way. We have gone over tactics, analyzed our opponent and of course we have practiced countless hours on the ice to perfect our movements as a team and to make sure we execute the tactics just as boss intended it to be executed. Of course, we knew that our season is hitting its climax and this is going to be a "make it or break" kind of situation. Before the game itself was the final part of the preparation, which is of course just as important as any other part of the preparation. We had to get our head into the game and get our focus to be at it's maximum, and of course just to get ourselves ready for the big occasion. On one hand i was nervous as it was my first ever playoff in the J but on the other hand as i looked around the locker-room i could tell that everyone was just as fired up as each other and that somewhat calmed me down. We were ready for it after all. All those work we have put in is finally about to pay off after all.
