Written Option 2:
Easton Schaffer and the Ottawa Highlanders have been recently eliminated from the second round of the playoffs, and it's been a mixed bag of sentiments, in all honesty. Two seasons ago, Schaffer signed on with Ottawa as a DFA, and we were eliminated in six games in the first round. As an expansion team, the expectations were very low, but we did put up a good fight, knowing an improved team would compete in the next season. Last season, we made it to the finals, and that elimination game one hurt a lot. We knew however that we caught lightning in a bottle and carried that streakiness from the season into the playoffs. Somewhere deep down, he knew that Ottawa was opportunistic and luck would run out. This season, with leaders like Benji Hockiwi and Demir Bellona going up to the big league, it was going to be a serious challenge. We were more steady this season, but it was apparent soon in the playoffs that despite winning in the first round, we had met our match with Maine. Easton never gets disappointed whenever his team gets eliminated, neither does he ask himself what could have been, so going forward, his lessons and experience will prove invaluable to go chase a Cup, no matter the expectation and result. |
