How to deal with a losing streak

[Dalton Wilcox 85]

As the New York Americans are in the midst of a horrible losing streak (Dalton has lost count, but with only 1 win in the last 8 or so games), Dalton Wilcox is also mired in one of the worst point streaks of his career.  He has only scored one point in the last 5 games, and only has 6 goals in the season far.  Not acceptable for a player who places such high standards on himself and named to the rookie VHL All-Rookie team in S68.

 

Dalton needs time to decompress and get away from the game while the NYA work on breaking out of their losing streak.  Here's a list of potential activities:

 

• Heavy drinking.  Lots of it.
• Netflix (and chill).  Lots of it.  Helps get his mind off the game and helps him relax.
• Weekend trips to Las Vegas.  Nice way to let loose.
• Practice more?  Nah, that won't possibly help. it'll just make Dalton more tired.
• Watch more game film?  Nah,  why watch film when I can watch Netflix (and chill)?
• Meetings with coaches?  Nah, why meet with coaches when I can go out drinking?
