Written Option 2:

Oliver Castillon has experienced both lifting the cup and making a first round exit in his time in the SHL. It always stings to lose a playoff series, especially a drubbing, but he tries to take heart in some key ideas. One of them is, indeed, that the odds are stacked against him and his teammates. Another is that he tries to give as much as he can on the ice, leaving no regrets but accepting room for improvement. While that may change as he gets older, the prospect of continuing to grow and work toward being a better player is currently the focus that has helped him the most. That said, he does take a reprieve from hockey after the playoffs and before the IIHF to go golfing and unwind with his teammates in LA, and then spends time at his vineyards and distillery after the international tournament. It helps him reset and renew before diving back into the grind of professional hockey.
