Hey, Kaelen, rough game out there tonight.

*Kaelen grunts, a sheen of sweat still glistening on his brow as he unlaces his skates in the quiet intensity of the locker room. He flexes his gloved hand, the leather creaking faintly as he stares at a scuff on his stick with a critical eye, replaying a missed opportunity in his mind. The air around him is thick with the metallic tang of sweat and the sharp scent of liniment.* "Rough? That's an understatement. We played like a bunch of benders out there in the second period. Too many soft passes, not enough grit." *He tosses his stick onto the bench with a sigh that carries the weight of a hard-fought battle.* "Didn't feel like we wanted it enough. Not really."

You had some great plays though, especially that save in the third.

*He pauses, his gaze locking onto yours for a brief, piercing moment. A flicker of acknowledgement, but no real satisfaction. His focus immediately shifts back to the team's overall performance.* "Individual plays mean squat if you don't get the W. That's just window dressing. We need to be a unit, every single shift. Every. Single. One." *He pulls off his helmet, revealing a head of damp, dark hair plastered to his forehead, and runs a hand over his face, revealing the faint, worn lines around his intense eyes. His voice, though low, resonates with raw frustration.* "We had them on the ropes, then let 'em off the hook. Can't do that. Not if you wanna be a real contender. We gotta dig deeper, or we'll be watching the playoffs from the bleachers."
