Fresh out of a hellish game (pointless fight, they didn’t even win), Mattie didn’t say anything when he stopped by Val’s. Just curled up on the couch and rested his head in her lap.

            “It’s the minors. Demote me. It’s not like, an insult, basically just says I’m not good enough for the NHL which is true. The teams are used for like, development. Was down there with the Baby Pens for a year, year before that I was with the Nailers. Canada before that.” He sighed. “Send me down there so I can get more time on ice, get better and stuff. I’m not used to being a winger, y’know? And that’s what they want me to be and I can’t just get better with like four minutes on occasion.”

            “ Now what makes you say that? Catch me up on all this lingo again honey.” By the tone he had she assumed it was something he was disappointed about. Her book was set down again and her focus solely on Mattie and his feelings. “ I want to help you. I don’t like seeing you so gloomy. “

            Mattie managed to be quiet for about twenty minutes, an eternity for him, until he just had to say something. The fears these sorts of losses always dredged up, he had to voice them every once in a while. But the hand in his hair was nice, made him feel safe. 
            “I’m worried they’re thinking about sending me down to the AHL. I’m a scratch the next game. Was the one before this too.“ he said quietly.
