Written Task, Option 2

This season, as with all and every season, opening night is a special one. This season, there is much more of an air of anticipation building in Montreal. The rebuild has been long, and the fans have remained loyal and patient. But after some long seasons of struggle there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel, and the Patriotes look forward to being a team to watch, rather than just another night on the schedule.

With that in mind, Rodrigo Banes is out to make a strong first impression opening night. He pre-game routine is dialled, his nap fine-tuned down to the minute. The chicken and pasta is HEARTY. He arrives early, and will leave late, giving himself ample space and time to prepare, and to wind-down afterwards. Staying late for media availability, and to sign autographs and meet fans, is always a pleasure at home games, and the season opener is extra special. It's a big night, and it should be savoured.
