Between the Pipes

Hey guys I decided to right a story about the overall atmosphere of being a goaltender for a hockey club. You walk into the rink on game day, and you could just feel the adrenaline in your body, ready for the action ahead. You start your warmup routine, and you stay silent, and visualize in your head all the shots being stopped by you. You visualize your team coming out victorious, and you with a big smile on your face. You walk into the lockeroom to start getting dressed, and there is a certain seriousness from your hockey club. You lead your team onto the ice for the upcoming battle. All of a sudden the puck has dropped, and the game has started. You make the first few saves, and you can already feel comfortable, and relaxed. But if you let in an early goal, the night ahead will be unpleasant for you, and your team. You may let in a goal, or more, but you must stay calm because if your nerves get the best of you you will get scored on even more. The last few minutes of the third , and final period seem like years. You must survive the storm of attack from your enemy, or else your team will lose by more, or lose their lead. Once you have weathered the storm, you celebrate with your team, and you feel a warm feeling inside.
