Summary
(WORK IS ON HIATUS)
“I think he needs to go to the hospital,” Sid tells the nurse, who nods briskly and turns for a radio. “Nolan,” Sid continues. “Can you hear me?”
“Of course I can hear you,” Nolan says through gritted teeth. “I hit my head, I’m not deaf. Why am I wearing a fucking Penguins jersey?”
Sid speaks slowly, as if Nolan has brain damage. “Because you’re a Penguin, Nolan.”
Nolan stares at him. There’s no way Sid said what Nolan heard.
“I think I need to go to a hospital,” he finally says.

Summary
Zhenya was a little embarrassed to admit that part of the reason he had green-lit this trade to Pittsburgh in the first place was because of Crosby himself: his insane hockey, his wolfish smile, the lingering remnants of Zhenya’s boyhood crush. Zhenya propped his stick against the wall and stuck out his hand to shake.
“Hey,” he said, smiling and hoping it didn’t look too stupid. “Evgeni.”
But Crosby didn’t take off his gloves and shake hands like Hornqvist had. He waved his hand in apology, thick inside his dirty glove. “Hey,” he replied curtly. “Sid.”

When Jonny gets to the NHL, he's definitely living the dream - except for the irritation that is Patrick Kane - but it turns out, Patrick is the way he is because he's under a lot of pressure - Jonny tries to show him that at the end of the day, whilst winning is nice, it doesn't define who you are, and it shouldn't define how you're loved.
