Fast Forward to Game 6 in the Stanley Cup Finals: ( this is the sadest day of the season =( )
"hello there ladies and gentlemen. welcome to game 6 of the stanley cup finals. The penguins are hyped for this game coming off an amazing 3 ot win in detriot to stun the home crowd. if the pen win, game 7 in detriot. lose and the cup is detriots. tonight we got two teams determined to win. both teams will play with their hearts, and now from gushy stuff to the exciting part. GAME TIME! and your starting line ups are......" the announcer said "and now the drop of the puck!!"
(i dont remember who scored and a all that and im pretty sure it was 4 to 3, but i dont remember because im trying to forget this day. it brings back memories writting tis, i hope i do a good job remembering, thank you)
the game was going by quick and by the end of the 1st the pens lead to 1 to 0. thanks sid. The boys were estatic. they were playing with their hearts on their sleeves and it would hurt them so much if they lost to their home crowd. the 2nd was a blur. there were pucks flying every which direction at flower. he tried his best to stop them all. it was a typical playoff style hockey game. it was great! at the end of the 2nd. the pends trailed 3 to 1. flower tried his best but something seemed wrong. Finally the 3rd period (a very said period). The wings were playing sloppy and the pens took advantage to it, getting two quick goals by geno, tying it up at 3. the wings didnt let that effect them. the got it together and started playing their type of hockey. The period was half over and the wings started to get bac into the groove. it was still tied when flower stopped a puck and went under his butt, he fell back onto the puck and it shot into the net. the wings had the lead at 4 to 3. flower looked upset but didnt let it effect him. the period was coming to a close, the wings just seconds away from the cup, unless the pens could pull a max talbot two games in a row. the pens pulled the goalie, 6 on 5 with 10 seconds left. faceoff in defensive zone. on the ice was sid, hossa (GRR!), jordan, geno and defensmen kris letang and brooks orpik. sid won the faceoff, him and staalsy raced down the ice with the puck doing give and gos. 3 seconds left, sid shot the puck, the goalie stopped it but the puck trickled right along the goal line, and the buzzer rang, the crowd was stunned, they stood motionless as the wings tackled their goalie. the puck never made it over. it was so close. it was over.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the 2007- 2008 stanley cup champions, the Detriot Red WIngs!" the announcer said breaking the silence
just then the whole mellon stood and clapped, clapping for their team for a great season, and the champs. showing so much respect to them. kelsie couldnt bring herself to look at the team, she couldnt see from crying. she wasnt the only one crying. 3/4 of the crowd was crying. kelsie and the girls finally fot the guts to look at the guys. they looked like shit, half were crying and the other half were holding back their tears the best they could. the guys on the ice for that last shift were on the ice, heads hung low in disappointment. kelsie knew the guys needed them. the team finally got up and shook hands with the wings. congradulating them when the crowd started chantting "LETS GO PENS!" this made it so hard for the guys. they skated to the locker room heads hung so low.
as soon as they got in the locker room, everyone lost it, not one guy wasnt crying. the reporters were dumb enough to go in there at the wrong time.coach told them to give them space for a little bit and they left and terrien locked the locker room door
"ok guys, i know you dont want to hear anything write now, but its got to be done" coach said before taking a break to wipe tears off his eyes. "one word describes this team right now. at this very second. you want to know what it is?" "heart" he said pointing to his heart "heart sescribes this team, why, well you guys played your hearts out. it hurts i know, you showed so much respect tongiht. you proved so many people wrong, you guys have some strong hearts. i couldnt be anymore proud of you guys. the year will come that we are the ones celebrating in the locker room drinking out that cup. an im so proud. we all are so proud of you guys, you guys have the greatest fans in the whole wide world. WE ALL are so proud and couldnt ask anything more from you guys" and with that, coach was done.
the whole team sat in silence still hurt and some still crying. the reporters were allowed in for 10 min. it wa so hard for the guys to answer without breaking down. half the team declined interviews and some had to stop in the middle. the girls decided to wait a little before going down. once they arrived the media was leaving and the girls asked if they could go in
"yea girls, you can go in but to warn you, its really emotional in there" the security guard said
the girls walked in and see the worst thing ever. but when the guys seen the girls come in, their moods lightened up a little bit. the girls knew not to say anything, just let them talk. vero sat down beside marc his head in his hands crying
"i blew it for us vero, i shouldnt have fallen back. if i didnt the score would still be tied and the outcome could have been different. " vero didnt say anything she just let him vent "i let my team down, i let myself down, hell i let the fans down. i probably even let you down. i fucked everything up, i dont deserve this. everyone hates me now" vero grabbed his hand and squeezed "je t'aime marc-andre fleury"
