"Tuukka! Please don't!"
"Why? What does it matter!? Everyone is giving up on me, why not give up on myself!?"
"Am I, have i given up on you yet?"
"No, but you will, look, even my own wife did!"
"Tuukka, I know you can!"
"No, Gustavsson can replace me, he's way better, even a 3 year old could score against me!"
"That is not true!"
"Dont you get it Ella? I don't care anymore! Theres nothing, no one to try for anymore!"
Thats when he did it, ended his whole future, his whole career, and I would be the one who tried but didn't help him.

Tuukka Rask, won the Vezina trophy in 2014, made the Finals twice, one time runner up, lead his team to the Presidents Trophy in 2014, but his whole career fell apart when he missed the playoffs in 2015, his wife divorced him, and took his little girl with her, Tuukka fell apart, couldn't focus, and couldnt do what he did best, play goalie for the Boston Bruins. He's falling apart.
There's a lab below TD Garden, a sports arena in Boston, Massachusetts. The owners of the arena know about it, but it is secret to the public.
Why is this lab there? For genetic engineering, of course. In this lab, babies are made specifically to be NHL goaltenders. It is not a choice. No one can refuse.
Once-famous hockey player Bobby Orr, the head of goalie-making (a science he has been doing since 1982), is the one who runs this inhumane practice. He believes that the NHL's goaltenders have become too awful, and the league is going from professional to pee-wee. It needs more goalies.
It always needs more goalies.
********************
Tuukka Rask, also known as G0340, is "born" in Boston on March 10, 1987. Of course, the public must not know this, so Tuukka's place of birth is listed as Savonlinna. This city is in "Finland," another lie that the public blindly believes.
Bobby Orr pays a lot of attention to Tuukka, especially because he made a few mistakes making the genotype that could cause problems.
However, by 18, the goalie is ready to play in the NHL, completely unaware that his childhood was spent in a lab thanks to implanted false memories. He is sent to the Toronto Maple Leafs in order to be tested, then traded back to the Boston Bruins so his career can officially begin.
One day in 2017, Tuukka's 11-year-old daughter, Sinikka, stumbles across a door that her mother told her about. The door is unlocked. A scanner glued to the front panel is broken.
Sinikka opens the door and discovers that her mother was telling the truth and that her father's whole childhood was a lie. She immediately tells Tuukka about her astounding discovery.
What will Tuukka do?

NOTE: I got this idea from a comment on a Reddit thread about the best goaltenders in the NHL. Also, the Finland not existing thing is satire, LOL.
