Option 1:

The night after the finals was not an easy one for Jussi Mutou. And it still would’ve been difficult had he not been visited by the ghost of his old hockey coach. Once the clock reached the witching hour in Jussi Mutou and Trent Wiseman’s house, things started getting funky. Jussi couldn’t believe it at first. He thought it had to be a dream. But alas, it was reality.

The first spectre sent was the ghost of Jussi past who showed him the way he used to play. He saw himself and Xavier Beausoleil throwing around bone crushing hits. He saw himself scoring a ton of goals. And he also saw himself raising the Esa Anrikkanen trophy for rookie of the year. But this did not convince Jussi.

So the next spectre to visit was the ghost of Jussi present who showed the way Jussi played now. This time he saw himself pulling back on hits instead of following through. He saw himself passing the puck off instead of shooting into the open net. And he saw himself distracted with sponsors and advertisement bonuses. Now, Jussi was getting frustrated. But it was clear he still wasn’t getting it.

The third and final spectre to visit was the ghost of Jussi future. He saw himself playing with the Patriotes but something was clearly amiss. He was lazily skating around, barely shooting the puck, and actively avoiding hits. In between whistles he would head to the bench where he would sign more advertisement and sponsorship contracts. Jussi shook his head in anger. “No. That’s not what hockey is about! Enough!”

And with that, the spectres all vanished, leaving Jussi Mutou in his house, in the dark once more.
