Oof, I didn’t do vvery well. Not a good way to open the season. 4 goals on only 20 shots? Embarassing. And what the hell did Coach Carlyle mean by “stay on your feet longer and make the shooter react” or “keep an eye on the puck and don’t lose rebounds”. Does he think I don’t know how to do this? Oh my God, am I going to get cut? I miss Coach Boudreau. I can hear his words ringing in my ears now…. “Gibby, you lazy ****, get your mother****ing **** together and stop the ****ing damn mother****ing puck. ****!” At least you knew where he stood. I’m going to miss Coach Boudreau.
