hockey game part two [e+g]

you, ethan, and grayson were outside your hotel, waiting for an uber to take you to the bell centre. finally, one showed up and the three of you got inside.

the ride to the arena was quiet. you were too excited to talk.

you had only been to a couple nhl games, but now you were going to one with your best friends and your favourite teams were playing.

finally, the uber pulled up outside the arena. you, ethan, and grayson all got out of the car. grayson paid, and the three of you went inside the arena.

there was pictures hung up all over the place of alumni players, and even a wall covered in giant portraits of the current players, painted onto the wall.

there was a long hallway, and at the end of that hallway were the dressing rooms. in the middle of the floor in the main lobby was a giant canadiens logo.

you, ethan, and grayson walked over to two open doors. there was machines in front of the doors that scanned your tickets. the three of you got your tickets scanned, and went inside the arena, where the ice is.

you found your seats, which were right behind toronto's bench. the arena was about half full, and you knew it would fill up soon.

about ten minutes later, the lights went off. the only lights that were on were shined onto the ice. the announcer announced the toronto maple leafs as they skated out onto the ice. you cheered as you saw auston matthews, and all your favourite players.

the announcer then announced the montreal canadiens and the arena erupted in cheers and applause.

they take hockey pretty seriously in montreal.

the game started, and there wasn't a boring second as the clock ticked down. toronto and montreal has always had a good rivalry. it's very physical, and alot of goals get scored. there's even fights most of the time.

finally, with five minutes left in the first period, montreal scored. their captain, max pacioretty, ripped one past freddy andersen, toronto's goalie.

the crowd cheered for their captain. you were also happy because you also love montreal, but you couldn't cheer for the opposing team while wearing a leafs jersey.

first intermission started. you chatted with ethan and grayson for most of the time. they were kind of oblivious to what was going on, because they don't normally watch hockey.

the players came back out onto the ice, and back to their benches. you watched as auston matthews skated over to the bench, and you smiled at him when his eyes met yours. he grinned back, and said something to his coach.

the coach nodded, and auston walked away. he came back a few seconds later, holding a puck. he swiftly tossed it over the glass, and you caught it with both hands. you yelled a thank you, and auston nodded his head to acknowledge that he heard you.

***

the montreal canadiens won 3-2 in overtime. you, ethan, and grayson got out of your seats and stretched before leaving the arena. you went back to the main lobby.

"can we go see if auston will sign this?" you asked. you really wanted to say hi to him.

"maybe. i doubt they'll open the door for us." ethan said. the three of you walked down the hallway towards the dressing rooms. a security guard stopped you half way.

"sorry folks, you can't be down here." he said, putting his hands out in front of him.

"oh, okay. i just wanted to see if auston matthews could sign this for me." you told the guard.

"i'm sorry, the players don't normally see fans after the game." the guard said.

you nodded, and walked away with ethan and grayson behind you.

"sorry, y/n. i can sign it if you want." ethan said, and nudged your side with his elbow. 

"that's okay. at least i got a puck." you said softly. you were disappointed that you couldn't say hi to auston after the game, but at least you got a puck from him.

grayson called an uber once you were
all outside the arena. a few minutes later, it showed up.

you, ethan, and grayson all got inside the car before it started driving, taking you back to the hotel.
