ALLISON’S POV
“Evans cannot be stopped. He is on fire!” the commentator roars above the noise. “The captain is determined to get the team to the playoffs.”
And that’s exactly what I hope for.
I’m standing close enough to the glass that my breath fogs it every time I exhale and I’ve been exhaling like a hundred times in the last ten minutes alone.
The arena is loud, and I’ve been to enough of Justin’s games that I should be used to it by now. But tonight is different.
The Bruins haven’t had a good season. Montreal took the first qualifying spot two weeks ago. Maple Leaf locked up second shortly after, and Panthers clinched third last Tuesday. Which leaves Justin fighting for a wildcard spot and as captain, in his first season, it feels like he doesn’t really have the option to fail.
