Summary
Alex snags a loose puck from the edge of the pile and twisting around for a shot into the open net. It slides in just clear of the post. A bit wide of where he’d intended but fine.
Sasha, the team’s brick wall of a veteran goaltender, slides into the net and starts fielding shots. Alex pauses next to the puck pile and passes shots to Luke, Reggie, Nick, and Cea and Cinna, the team’s top defensive pair. Luke slows down on his way behind the net to wave at the various fans holding signs with his name or number. There’s always a bunch. Reggie has a fair share too. Alex rolls his eyes and takes his next shot (just barely blocked by Sasha’s pad) before swinging around the back end to nudge Luke back into practice. Luke protests but Alex just rolls his eyes and continues with his lap.
Each moment is absolutely normal.
As long as Alex ignores the opposite net.
He knows he can’t avoid it forever. Finding the back of the net is kind of the goal here (no pun intended). But maybe, if he pretends he doesn’t know who is in the other net tonight, he can get through at least his first shift without worrying about him.
