Post-Practice Interview

[ctots 400]

A lone reporter stops Bruise Banner after practice to ask some questions. The man looks disheveled but optimistic.

 

Not someone I recognize from the media circuit, Banner thought. Maybe he's a blogger. Guess it couldn't hurt to stop for a minute or two.

 

"Hey Bruise! I'm Todd from Degenerate Hockey Gambling Website, hoping to talk to you about your team's upcoming playoff run! Seems like you guys barely squeaked into the offseason, how are you feeling about it? What's your confidence level?"

 

Ah, cool, I can just give this guy canned answers.

 

"The team has been getting tuned up throughout the season and we're really in a great position to show the rest of the league what we're made of. Spirits are high in the locker room, that's for sure."

 

Todd nodded along, holding his cell phone like a microphone to record the impromptu interview. "What adjustments are you making to face the increased pressure of the playoffs?"

 

"A strong focus on fitness and diet, warmup and recovery. The key is to avoid injury: the offseason is going to be a long road, and only the toughest teams are going to make it to the finish line." Banner said into the microphone, practicing for his future media appearances. "Thanks for your time, I have to get to an appointment. I appreciate your support."
