Penelope's POV
The second period starts with Frostfang coming out aggressive. They're playing angry now, taking runs at us every chance they get. Timothy especially looks frustrated, throwing checks that are harder than necessary.
"They're rattled," Isla says during a line change. "Keep pushing."
She's right. The crowd expected an easy Frostfang victory, and we've turned their championship celebration into a real competition.

He's good. All that natural talent and years of training show in how he reads plays before they develop. But he's also playing with his emotions instead of his head.
