Option 2:

The buzzer sounds to end the game with the goal horn, and it's like all of the sound in the arena comes rushing in like high tide. The cheers from the Panthers faithful, a relatively small contingent in the arena in San Francisco, were somehow just as loud as the boos from the Pride fans. Oliver Castillon wasn't even really sure what had happened. Oh. Wait. He scored a goal! They won in overtime! Derek Martin was coming over to congratulate him, with Axel Kirby and Elena Maximova right behind him, Nathan Meagher behind them.
"What was that?!" Derek was shouting over the din, as they crowded him around the boards in a quick group hug before skating back to give Gregorz his well-earned boops.
San Francisco has had the Panthers' number all season. Since Round 2 of the last playoffs, really, and every game had been a hard fight only to ultimately lose. They had down 3-1 at the start of the 3rd, and looking at the smug Pride center's face as they lined up for the faceoff and he asked Oliver if they were ready to lose again made something snap in the back of his mind. His vision broadened, the sounds warped and faded, and it was like all he could see was the way forward. "Hit here, swipe the puck there, pass to Derek, receive the puck, fire", just a constant monologue of single-minded focus where the world seemed slower.
The first goal had been a feed from Derek, a nice neat little pass to the corner of the net and a tight angle that got past Justin Time like it had been blasted from a cannon.
The second goal was on the Power Play. Elena had shot one in, Shane Piastri tipped it, but it rebounded and Oliver managed to shove it over the line in a scrum. He got some not-so-playful shoves from one of the Pride defenders for that effort.
Going into overtime, Coach said something, for sure, but Oliver couldn't tell you what. All he knew was that 1st line went out to start and after a long minute, the puck went over the glass and they were able to change. Derek took the face off, and before he even knew what he was doing, Oliver had put the puck on-net and past Time.
They shuffled quickly off the ice and back to the locker room, the mood much more buoyant than it had been at the start of the game. Oliver was called back to receive the nod for 1st star of the game, and the post game interview.
"So, Oliver, what was going through your mind when you scored those goals to win the game?"
"Just doing my job, playing my part. We've got a great team, it could just as easily been Derek or Shane on the score sheet."
"This was your second career hat trick in the SHL. How does it feel?"
"Oh right," Oliver said blinking. "I scored a hatty! It hadn't really sunk in, to be honest. I didn't see too many hats out there from the Pride fans, ha-ha. Can't really blame 'em though, I'd be real mad if somebody turned a 3-1 game into a 4-3 overtime hat trick.
"I was really glad to hear the Panthers fans in the house tonight. The support means a lot, especially as we get deeper into the season and closer to the playoffs."
