It's game 7, 2 minutes left in the 3rd and are losing 4-3. You haven't had the most stellar game but you have a feeling in your gut that if you're on the ice for the next 2 minutes, your team will score a goal. I know we wills core a goal, there's no question. I need to be out there. The best thing to do it just get on the ice and play. That is the best way to prove that you should be out there. You give the coach no choice, but you be out there. That is the goal of what I would do. I would just play my heart out and then cry on the bench. Statistics say that coaches cannot say no if you cry, so that is the simple way to do it. I would just cry and then prove to the coach why I am out there. I do not get off the ice until I score the goal to win the game and win the series for my team. It's easy to just prove it and get the job done. Mentality is never give up and win. That is what you do.
