   Summary

   And then, Mack was being yanked away by the back of his jersey. At first Mack thought it was a ref—until Sid’s familiar glove curled around his shoulder pad, firm as an anchor. “Mack. Enough.” Sid’s voice cut through the roaring in Mack’s ears, low and steady—the same tone he’d used when Mack was in Milan and too wired after a bad turnover. But Mack wasn’t Milan, and this wasn’t a bad turnover. This was Will crumpling against the boards, breathless and hurt, and Sid’s teammate had caused it.

   Or, what if Will’s injury during the Pens game happened after Macklin Celebrini and Sidney Crosby bonded at the Olympics
