Chapter 5
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
(Sulk all you want, Jason. Tonight, I'm the one who's gonna score a quote.)
The players circle the rink preparing for the face off skates slice through the ice, fans cheer, and I steel myself to go live.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
This is it....
Aman (Fl Colleague)
Wipe the stardust off your face and focus.
Aman (Fl Colleague)
I'll count you in 3....2...
He mouth '1', and I smile brightly into the camera.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
Good afternoon, Spades fans we're here at Btech Arena, as Seattle prepares to take on bitter division rivals, The Blazing Blizzards
I start to relax, growing more comfortable with the camera.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
The Spades are out for redemption tonight, after a disappointing end to last year's playoff run.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
No fan can forget the fateful altercation involving the Spades star player, Jason Jameson.
Just as I find my groove the teleprompter glitches..... all my carefully prepared comment, prepared commentary wipe from the screen.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
(Oh no! What was I going to say about Jason?)
Aman's gesture for me to keep going. I try to remember my lines as best I can.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
The fight stole Jason focus. When Jason is in the zone he's unbeatable. But he let his emotions get the better of him that night, and team paid the price.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
Stunned fans were left wondering what could have been. That's question that must hunt Jason too.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
Jason's redemption arc this year will require patience, dedication and trust from all of us. And in the meantime we hope the Spades can win the championship.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
Our Spades have the talent and experience. When all the players are aligned, there's no limit to what they can achieve.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
We could be in for an epic season.
My outfit is giving me a boost in confidence and I keep my head up as I continue.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
(Eat your heart out, Jason)
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
everyone's waiting to see what the star will do..... Including this reporter.
Aman cuts for a commercial and I heave a huge sigh of relief.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
Well.... Did I do okay?
Aman (Fl Colleague)
You did great and you look great on camera too. Like a pro.
I gave him an impulsive hug of gratitude.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
Only thanks to you, fashion Star.
Aman (Fl Colleague)
Hey.... don't wrinkle your new outfit! It's still in the first period.
The whistle blows, signalling the start of the game. The camera pans to center ice, where Jason and the opposing team's star prepare to face off.
Blazing Blizzards Team
Hope you said your payer Jason 😏
Jason Jameson (ML)
Oh yeah.... I gave thanks for the ass-kicking. You're about to receive 😏.
In the first few minutes of play, Jason is masterful on the ice. I'm already mentally preparing for post-match comment.
Shrestha Gosh (FL)
(" Jason silence any doubt tonight, putting in a riveting performance. His power and control were key to....")
But suddenly the Blazing's forward..... Jason's arch nemesis.... Trips Jason with his hockey stick.
Jason Jameson (ML)
HEY....
