How do you cope with the frustration of seeing so many goals against? [Montgomery Burns]: Bob, it's true that our defensive play has been an area of concern. But rather than dwelling on frustration, we channel our energy into analyzing our mistakes and finding ways to improve. Hockey is a team sport, and defense is a collective effort. We are constantly working on our systems and communication to tighten up our defensive structure. [Wendy Whispers]: Montgomery, the fans are getting restless and calling for drastic changes. How do you handle the pressure and the exaggerated demands? [Montgomery Burns]: Wendy, I understand that the fans are passionate and have high expectations for our team.

We appreciate the support of our fans, and we'll continue to give our best effort every time we step on the ice. [Sally Scoopsalot]: Montgomery, with your individual success amidst the team's struggles, how do you stay motivated and not let frustration creep in?

I draw motivation from the opportunity to make a positive impact on my teammates and help elevate their performances. We win and lose as a team, and my focus remains on supporting and pushing my teammates to reach their full potential. [Bob Blabbermouth]: Montgomery, the media loves sensational headlines, but how do you keep a level head and not let exaggerated stories affect your mindset? [Montgomery Burns]: Bob, as a professional athlete, I've learned to navigate the media landscape and not let exaggerated stories or headlines distract me from my goals. I focus on controlling what I can control, which is my performance on the ice and being a positive influence in the locker room. I trust in my abilities and stay grounded in the belief that hard work and perseverance will ultimately lead to success. [Wendy Whispers]: Montgomery, with all the frustrations surrounding the team, how do you maintain your composure and lead by example? [Montgomery Burns]: Wendy, composure is a crucial trait for any leader. In challenging times, it's important to maintain a positive attitude and a calm demeanor. I aim to lead by example, both on and off the ice, by giving my best effort every day and demonstrating a strong work ethic. I believe that through my actions, I can inspire my teammates to follow suit and approach adversity with resilience and determination. [Montgomery Burns]: Thank you all for your questions.
