Written Option 2:
Barcus Juneau has always known that goalies are a bit different than other players. When his little brother announced that he was switching from defence to goalie, Barcus wasn't surprised; his brother was always kind of weird. But that didn't stop Barcus from supporting his brother, since he knew that goalies are the backbone of any successful team. Barcus knows that you don't treat goalies the same way you treat skaters. While the skaters are joking and screwing around together in the locker room before the game, Barcus knows that you leave the starting goalie alone. He doesn't know what kind of meditation, visualization, or other voodoo might be going on the the mind of the goalie, but he knows to just stay away. On the ice during warm-up, Barcus is careful to give the goalies a feel for the puck. No wicked slap shots, no groin-rending snap shots to the low corner, just enough contact to let the goalie know he's stopping the puck and that that is the most natural thing in the world. In-game, it's all about confidence. Barcus is a positive voice of encouragement when saves are made, and a consoling support when the puck goes in. No goalie has a better friend on the ice than Barcus Juneau. ![]() |
