Prompt #2:

As a player one of the most tense situations you can be in is a tie game. Every player and goalie feels the pressure to ensure that their team is going to come out on top in the end. As a forward you feel the drive and motivation to play harder to get that goal and have the weight and stress lifted off your shoulders. As a defensemen you feel the need to keep your head on a swivel making sure your opponents don't get a rush while also making sure they do their job to turn the puck over. As a goalie you feel the pressure of needing to play better than before, the team needs you to make every stop possible to make sure you're not going to be down a goal. Tie game's allow for a team to create better bonds to work together through the stress of wanting that go ahead goal. If any one player fails to contribute or slacks off they're gonna need to find a cozy spot on the bench.
