The clock was winding down, the puck made its way into the offensive end and around the boards, Michaud came bombing down the slot looking to sneak in and get the game tying goal late in the third. The pass found his stick and he took his shot. Time stopped. PING! He drilled the post as the clock ran down to zero. Thus began his fear of taking shots on net. You see he feared being the guy that everyone knew let the team down late. Its one thing to take your shot and own it, it is another to be willing to take the blame from the guys in his LR. Maybe it was the guy who yelled out to him from the stands “CC2 makes that shot you bum” but since that day Michaud has tried to avoid taking shots on net, the only way he can cope with the fear that was embedded into him on that day.
