"Alright people." I mumble as I stop on my spot for the face off. "Let's get this show on the road."
A couple seconds later the puck drops, Auston wins the face off, then the puck comes straight to me as I skate back a bit.
Once I have the puck I look up and see my best option is to pass to Kendrick so I pass to him then skate forward.
After 60 seconds on the ice, my shift ends so I quickly skate off the ice when the puck is down by the Canucks goal.
"I missed this." I mumble as I sit down next to Kendrick.
Kendrick chuckles as he pats my head then we wait for our next shift.
Over the next ten minutes of game time, I have a few more shifts and they all go very well, but annoyingly we don't score.
"Hey Auston." I say as I cover my mouth with my glove as I sit down
"What's up?" Auston says as he looks at me.
"On our next face off, when you win the face off just head towards the other goal." I say. "They're defenders are falling asleep during face offs."
Auston nods then we focus on the game.
Some seconds later our top line is told to go on so we wait for the on-ice players to come over then top line guys and I jump onto the ice.
Once on the ice I see one of the Canucks sprinting towards goal with the puck so I sprint towards him.
When I get to the Canuck player, I slam into him which sends him into the boards and glass then I grab the puck, turn my head around and see Auston has open space in front of him.
I quickly pass the puck ahead of Auston then I watch the best American hockey player grab the puck with his stick and snapshot the puck past the goalie
"YEAH." I cheer then I skate towards my teammates on the ice.
When I get to my teammates, I join the group hug.
"Fucking great pass." Mitch Marner says.
"Thanks." I say then I look at Auston. "Nice goal."
"Thanks." Auston says then we break our group hug, skate back to the bench, fist bump everyone, and pat Waffles on the head.
After everyone's patted Waffles on the head, I watch my dog disappear back behind the boards.
"Waffles is too cute." Kendrick says.
"Now you know why I cut off Amara from giving her treats." I say.
Kendrick chuckles then we get ready for the face off.
The rest of the first period goes very well for us and we score 2 more goals meaning we're up 3-0 after the first period, but I wasn't on the ice for the other two goals.
We scored so who cared.
Once the period ends, I follow my teammates back to our locker room.
When we get to our locker room, I put my stick up against the wall with my other teammates stick then I take my gloves off and put them on the glove drying machine.
The glove drying machine is just a machine that blows air into the gloves and drys them during intermission and after the game.
Once my gloves are on the drying machine I get pulled for the intermission interview
"Hey Future Sister-in-law." I say as I look at my brother Kaipo's girlfriend.
