Option 2:
Hoang tends to go to the box once ever 4 games. No one’s pleased when they get popped for a charge, or get stuck with another player and you get the call, but he serves it with due silence and without giving the referee a reason to hit him with anything else. Reservation is the best word to describe his guilty demeanor. If the opportunity presents itself, Hoang might try to goad his assailant into a call, but this is rare. Hoang isn’t a man who acts on rage and instinct. Five steps ahead, he’s more focused on what his coach wants him to do when he gets out. Leaving the box is just as important to him as entering it, engaging in the play again, possibly making a scoring chance out escaping behind the defense. It’s a game of inches, where you can’t go out of bounds. Ensuring that when guys who disappear from the ice surface for 2-5 minutes come back when they least expect it is a big part of what Hoang considers the penalty gameplan.
