Episode 18

Before the puck dropped, the Temple stood for Thirty-One — the Ring of Honour, the sixty-second name on the wall.
Back home. Brown against red. And a room full, loud, and waiting.
Forty minutes, nothing on the board. Thirty-two held the fort — and the other end did the same.
Then the Deep Woods Repellent struck first — alone in the slot, two fifty-three into the third.
The Temple answered. The pressure built, the chances came — and their goalie held.
With a minute thirty-eight left, the Violinist answered — and the room came apart.
A minor at nineteen-oh-three — and it followed them into overtime.
Twenty-one seconds. That's all the overtime it took — the man advantage, carried over, and the puck in the back of the net.
Two-one, in overtime. We go again Thursday — on the road.
