Player Prompt:
Justin Time is no stranger to criticism from the media, the fans, or anyone else. As a goalie, you learn early on the painful truth that you're going to have bad games, no matter how hard you try or how much you hone your skills. Just like there are nights you feel on top of the world, there will always be the unexpected game where nothing goes right, you can't track the puck, and your team gets blown out on the scoreboard. As the most visible player in a loss, goalies learn to shake off the media if they want to have a long career, and Time's first two seasons in the rebuilding Edmonton Blizzard gave him plenty of experience in that regard. When the times get tough, he turns off his phone, heads to the rink, and takes a few quiet laps to clear his head and remember that for every dismal outing, there's a huge win on the horizon that will shut everyone up. |
