option 2

My player, Leonard Wood, hardly shows any emotion or reaction to being put in the penalty box. He knows what he did and accepts the punishment. There is no point in complaining about 2 minutes by yourself. If he did react, he could possibly face more repercussions from the referees or by his coaches. So instead, he takes these two minutes to reflect and recollect himself. He sits quiet and stoic as if in a moment of zen. All of the sounds of sticks hitting the ice, blades ripping into the ice, and the raucous commotion coming from the fans in the stands fade away. Instead of a cold penalty box, Leonard Wood imagines he's back home on the lake riding on the pontoon boat with a Summer Shandy in his hand. He's at one with the universe. Then all of a sudden his penalty is over. He's caught daydreaming again and doesn't get back to the ice in time. He gets an earful from his coach anyways.
