Option 2:
We make jokes about TPE and goalies but they are still the lifeblood of the team, we say in a few preseason games what happens when you don't have a goalie in the net. We need goalies to win hockey games and they can really turn the tides of and playoff series. As a forward, to help our goalie focus during games I try and hype him up during timeouts, if he's bored back there I don't want him to lose an edge and give up an easy one. During warmups I take peppering him with shots very seriously, hit him with some real cheddar to make sure he's ready. We have an understanding to try and get him ready for anything once the game starts. When he lets one in I let him know it's alright but he needs to focus for the next one, what's important is that we win. Letting in one isn't the end of the world and to always pretend that we're down in the game so he stays focused on saving everything and stealing the game |
