Coach lingered behind.
He looked back at me. “Ready?”
“You know I am,” I said.

I was in no mood for anything or anyone.
In reality I should have faked an injury and just skipped the game.
When I looked at the schedule and realized who we were playing…
Lay skated by me and swatted me with his stick.
“Cheer up, fucker,” he called out. “If you’re single, that’s a great thing. I’ll buy you a lap dance later. Deal?”
“Go fuck yourself, Lay,” I said.

It really wasn’t that big of a deal.

I turned and threw my goalie stick at Riff.

“I wasn’t fucking ready for that shot,” I yelled.
“I knew that,” Riff said. “What the hell is your problem?”
“You are,” I said. “I’m going to kick your ass.”
I reached for Riff, knowing he had no issues throwing his gloves to the ice and taking a swing.
We were tangled up in a second.
Then Remi and Lay were there to break us apart.
