Loving A Hockey Player (Dylan Strome)

13

Once the first period started I watched the chemistry between Dylan and Connor whenever they were on a line together. Mitch, Dylan and Connor may be really close friends off ice, but on the ice and during the game they are really serious and dedicated to there team. The score was even until the Knights scored in the second period making the score 1-0 leading into the second intermission.

Dylan wasn't so happy that they were loosing so I had to cheer him up by cracking stupid and corny jokes. it worked for a while until the boys had to go back on the ice for the third period and then he became serious again. everyone on the team gets so stressed and I feel bad for them and there is nothing I can do to calm there nerves. I understand that every game can make a difference in changing there chances to get into the playoffs but the boys need to relax because them being nervous is just making them stress even more. 

once the boys were back on the ice and the third period started almost 2 minutes into the game Connor was in a little shoving war with the knights captain Max Domi. I heard that max and Connor were really close but from the way they are shoving each other makes me think they hate each other. this is a good example of when I say when you step onto that Ice, friends on other teams are not friends anymore they become players trying to take away your chances at getting in the playoffs and getting as far as you can in your career. of course if Mitch got hurt I'm sure Dylan would be worried or vise versa but if your skating and well then it's a game and both teams want to win.

I see both Connor and Max go to the penalty box both having gotten penalties for roughing make the game 4 on 4. Dylan takes the face off and wins sending it back to one of his defense members who play a little keep away while the rest of the forwards try to generate some scoring chances.. taylor raddysh slides the puck to Alex who fakes a shot and sends in towards a defense and as his stick comes up to take a slap shot a London knight players stick comes up and slashes the hands on our defense. "penalty to number 64 on the Knights slashing against the otters" I hear over the speaker

4-3 this should be interesting because we have a little advantage in the game being up one player but sadly we only have for guys on the ice. It would be so much better if it was 5-3. I see Alex go up the side and pass it to Dylan. Dylan fakes a shot and snipes on top shelf over the goalies glove hand. I scream and Dylan and the boys come over and gives high fives the guys on the bench. The boys ended up winning the game with a goal in the last minute of the game. Mitch seemed disappointed but not to upset because he got to hang out with Dylan and Connor later. Dylan offered me to hang out with them but I declined telling him I am just gonna go to bed.

To be honest I would have loved to hang out with those three but I know that they don't get to see each other that often and actually hang out. I feel like I would be intruding on the guy time. I feel like if I was with them then they wouldn't do half the things they would usually do or talk about because I am there. but I guess I am okay with it because I can go to sleep and they can have fun

I get back to my hotel room and see that I have a text from my dad saying that he won't be back for another 2 days. I sigh.. It seems like he is never home.. Our plane leaves at 4 pm tomorrow and we get back to Erie around 8. Shawzy is coming in 4 days and he is bringing chaunette.. I can't wait to see them. Even though Andrew is my half brother we both consider and treat each other like full siblings. My phone dings..

💙Dyl💙- Good Night 💙 Sleep tight 🌚

I smiled and plugged my phone I to the night stand. I went to my suit case and took out what I am wearing to bed which consisted of pajama shorts and a hawks shirt. I got settled under my blanket and turned off the lamp on the light stand. i turned on the tv and put on nhl network to fall asleep to. once my eyes started to get heavy I drifted to sleep.
