Ubba Lodbrok, center for the Philly Forge, in the Eastern Conference of the Simulation Hockey League, former player for the Anchorage Armada of the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League, has only one mind set during the playoffs. Don't lose. He's not there to wow the crowd, he's not there to show off a fancy play they came up with, he's not there to be the hero. He's there to not lose the game. Because if they lose the game, then his season is over and he won't win the cup. Obviously that's not the case every game, but it's the mentality to have when you're playing a rough and tough, hard hitting, exhausting both physically and mentally playoff series. If you lose the battle, you lose the puck, if you lose the puck you have to chase it and you lose the shift. If you lose the shift, your play could lead to you losing the period. If you lose the period, that's less of a chance to win the game. If you lose the game, you're down in the series. If you lose the series, you're done. If you let that losing mentality permeate through your head, then you could lose playing time and eventually lose your spot on the team. If you lose your spot on the team, you're now taking losses everywhere. Don't have a losing mentality. Don't change your play during the playoffs.
