Hockey, Momentum, and Adjustments

Watching the Habs get battered last night reminded me of a few things…

Everything can line up. You can have home-ice advantage, some of the greatest fans in the world, and everything looking perfect on paper. But winning is done on the ice.

Early success and momentum can only carry you so far. Being up 3-1 early in the first period is nice, but you have to sustain that energy. The market—and your opponents—aren’t going to just roll over. They’re making their adjustments. You need to be ready to pivot and act accordingly.

Lastly, a loss is only a loss if you don’t learn from it. You don’t always get a shot at redemption, but when you do—you have to make it count.

Game 7 is shaping up to be a wild one, and this series is delivering everything I expected.

Anyways, I’m not sure if I’m doing this LinkedIn thing right, but for more cliché sports analogies tied to business, hit that follow button. 😅
