“COME ON. COME ON.” I rapped my heel on the footrest of the bar
stool, watching the screen—or rather several screens. As if
something remarkably different would happen on another TV, as Troy
Hartman missed yet another easy shot.
“The hell is up with you, tonight, bro?” I muttered under my breath, my
teeth clenching with nerves. It wasn’t an easy game to watch. It was
downright painful watching my brother play as though this were an
unscheduled scrimmage as opposed to the season opener of the new NHL
season.
“All that fame gettin’ to his head?” Finn asked, pouring another Guinness
for the patron to my left.
“Maybe.” Somehow I doubted it. My brother would’ve known to bring his
A-game tonight. This wasn’t just any game for the Brooklyn Blades, it was
their chance at redemption. After coming in third in the Stanley Cup finals
last season, the team was being booed before they hit the ice. Which in the
big picture, meant nothing to anyone except the fans. They wanted to see you
bust out of the gate and kick some ass. They were here because they wanted
you to prove them wrong. To see you turn it around. Your performance set
the tone for the rest of the season, and it was hard to get them back off a bad
opener.
Which this—clearly was.
And it was Troy Hartman killing it for them. And not in a good way.
Since the season opener was in New York this year, at Brooklyn Arena,
home of the Brooklyn Blades, I was summoned to attend the absurd
festivities at Finnigan’s Pub in downtown Manhattan, which wasn’t set to
start for another hour. Since I worked on Wall Street—and late most nights—
I headed over straight from the office, knowing it was unlikely I’d come back
down this way after the game if I watched from home—or even from Troy’s
special guest seats at the arena.
Today kicked off Troy’s second season playing with the Blades. He was
good. Not amazing, but just good enough to survive his rookie year. That and
the sheer rush of your first pro year would ultimately get you to a point of
being decent enough to make it look like you belong—not make you
legendary.
