Prompt 2

The first week of the SHL season has been relatively uneventful in my eyes. Chicago sits atop of our division and we would have been expected to be in the top two likely by most of the league's pundits. However, I am a little bit disappointed in my performance on the ice to this point. After a fairly successful rookie campaign and a move back to the wing, I was really thrilled to be part of the Jesster nominees and have an opportunity to come back and really prove myself as a strong two-way forward. However, the beginning of this season hasn't really gone to plan. My defensive numbers have not been nearly as successful, I'm giving the puck up a lot more than I would have hoped and not forcing as many turnovers as I did playing nearly identical minutes last year. I am looking forward to an opportunity to carve out more time on the penalty kill and starting to play a more complete game. It's nice to be a part of the offense, but to make a real impact come playoff time, it's going to be really important to play a 200 foot game.
