Prompt #2

Toasty would love nothing more than to remove most of the protectors that he feels slow him down. Sure, a good set of skates and a proper stick are needed to be at max efficiency but Toasty would pass on the bucket and elbow guards and anything else that he could remove. Sure, the chance for injury is always there if you're removing all the protective gear but Toasty doesn't care about that. He's willing to lay his body on the line to stop a shot even if it's going to leave a bruise but the plus side he will be able to skate faster and get into his position for his teammates to be able to get the puck to him. Unfortunately for Toasty though there are regulations to make sure that the SHL doesn't have all of their players injured and derailing the season so instead Toasty spends his time imaging how fast he would be without all these damn protections.
