Discipline lives in the boring Tuesday

Nobody talks about the small stuff before the Panthers vs Sabres blowout. It wasn't one bad period. It was weeks of guys coasting through practice because the score wasn't on the board yet. Your comfort zone works the same way. No alarm goes off. No big collapse. Just quiet nights you chose easy over sharp, and you didn't notice because nothing broke yet. And the weird part is the teams who show up when it's a nothing Tuesday game are the same ones ready when it's game seven. Discipline isn't the loud moment. It's the boring one nobody's watching.
