Connor's P.O.V

Walking out of the dressing room and down the hall, I started getting a little nervous.

Waiting behind Talbot to step onto the ice, we heard the announcer say his usual line.

Skating on to the ice the starting line up did a little skate around before lining up on the blue line.

Standing with Maroon, Draisaitl, Russel, and Nurse we took off our helmets for the anthems.

The game was already into the second period and we were down by 2 goals.

Our team was a little down at the second intermission.

Going into the third period was tough because we still weren't playing as great as we could have been.

I tried to set up a few guys for goals but nothing. We were falling short. I only had one rush this game which was making me a little angry.

At this point I think we needed a goal to get something to happen. We needed a little momentum or something.

Coming off from my shift I sat on the bench to try and calm down. I was letting my emotions get the better of me and it wasn't helping on the ice.

Standing up to see what was going on, on the ice I saw Nurse go in for a rush to the net. Everyone in the stadium went nuts, we had scored a goal officially we were down by one goal and there was still time left in the third.

We could do this, we could get the come back.

About two minutes later the other team (insert whatever team y'all want here) had come back and suddenly we were down by two goals, then three.

When the game was over we all walked back into the dressing room. Coach came in and started giving us our post game talk.

If i'm being honest I zoned out. I didn't mean to it just happened.

Once coach left the room we started getting undressed.

When I was done I got up and left the room. Walking down the hallway to the parkade I unlocked my vehicle and got in.

Pulling out I started my drive home.

Y/N's P.O.V

Watching Connor's game on tv tonight I knew he would be upset when he got home.

Just sitting on the couch waiting for Connor I was watching the plays of the week.

Hearing the door start to open I looked up and saw Connor.

"Hey!" I smiled.

"hey Y/N" he sulked.

Walking over to me after he took his shoes and suit jacket off. He came and lied on the couch next to me putting his head on my lap.

I ran my fingers through his hair and he sighed.

"It sucks losing all the time. You know I bet every team who plays us thinks to themselves that it's going to be a easy game and oh we're playing the Oilers we're going to win for sure" Connor said.

"hey. I know it's hard to lose all the time believe me I know how much it sucks to lose. It's not fun, but don't get down on yourself this is like your guys building season! You can only go up from here"

"I guess that's true, it's just not really fun"

"don't worry hun, it's going to get better." I smiled down at him.

"I hope so, i'm going to go get changed i'll be back"

I watched as Connor disappeared upstairs. A few minutes later he came down in shorts and a hoodie.

"Do you want to order pizza?" he asked.

"pizza after your game?"

"yeah!"

"sure!" I laughed.

He came and sat next to me pulling out his phone dialling the number for panago.

Ordering us a large chicken club we just sat on the couch and waited.

"So! Did you watch the game on tv?"

"I sure did! Sorry I couldn't make it but I didn't think i'd have enough time after practice"

"it's ok! Next time!"

"for sure!"

Snuggling into his side he grabbed the remote and went to netflix.

"Any recommendations?" he asked me.

"Something scary or funny?"

"Ok!"

He flipped through the rows until he got to horror. Looking through them he stopped on Satanic.

"This looks relatively scary, wanna watch it?"

"sure!"

He had started the movie and I grabbed the blanket that was next to me and pulled it over both of us.

When the pizza arrived we paused the movie and payed the delivery guy.

Connor brought the pizza back to the couch and put it on the coffee table.

"Feeling better my love?" I asked.

"yes!" he smiled back at me.

Opening the box I took a piece out and started eating. We played the movie again and spent the rest of the night just hanging out.

Hopefully Connor's next game would be a win.
