[Shot: Black, sounds of a locker room fade in. First shot we see is the Coach standing in the dead centre of the room. Subtitles let us know what he’s saying.]
COACH: I know it’s been rough boys, but let’s get our f--king act together and play like we mean it, alright? Let’s f--king go boys! [The room erupts. Behind the coach is a whiteboard, and the camera shows us the bottom right corner: Game 30. COL @ VAN. Below that: BELOW DECK E4: FIORENTINI MIC’D.] ---- [Cut. Shot: The Whalers are standing in the tunnel to the ice, hyping each other up. Fiorentini is bumping his shoulders against the two men standing next to him--linemates Pyotr Gallen and Nikolai Nikitin. We see Manny Vector, starting goaltender while mainstay netminder B Jobin is playing backup games in the majors, walk down the tunnel. The skaters all turn their attention to the goalie, pumping him up as he walks by.] GALLEN: Alright, Manny, let’s go. FIORENTINI: C’mon now, Manny, let’s f--king go, baby, atta way. [Cut. Shot: The Whalers head out onto the ice for warm up. The powerplay coach dumps a bucket of pucks onto the ice, and the Whalers start doing their circles, firing pucks up into the empty net. Fiorentini is at ice level in a frog pose, stretching out and opening up his hips. Next to him is Colorado’s #5, Jolmi Koivu, who Fiorentini had spent some time training with before the season started.] KOIVU: Are you ever going to shave that patchy f--king beard? FIORENTINI: Don’t tell me you’re getting jealous, Jolms. KOIVU: Jealous of what? Facial hair like a teenager with shit genetics? FIORENTINI: You gotta admit the mustache is at least a killer. KOIVU: I don’t want that going to your head, Benny. ---- [Cut. Shot: Fiorentini stands on the bench as the American national anthem plays. He sings along softly, practically mumbling it to himself.] [Cut. Shot: The game clock reads: 13:41 remaining, 1st Period. Fiorentini is seated on the bench next to Gallen.] PBP VOICEOVER: Koivu deftly handles the puck and sends it off to a teammate but gets hit hard in front of the Whalers bench! FIORENTINI: Hey, f--kin’ head up, Five! Head up! Head on a f--kin’ swivel before you lose it! GALLEN: I know my English is not great, but that’s not exactly effective chirping, jimbo. FIORENTINI: Holy f--k, Petey, your English is good enough to be a f--kin’ smart-ass about it. [Cut. Shot: Benjamin Surkhi-Ze’ev, off a rebound feed from Miroslav Ketil, pots the first goal of the game. The bench cheers loudly.] FIORENTINI: Yeah, baby! F--k yeah! GALLEN: [Incoherent]. [The scoreboard reads: VAN 1 - COL 0. Surkhi-Ze’ev skates by, fist-bumping the Vancouver bench as he does so.] FIORENTINI: Atta boy, Scrabble, holy f--k kid, what a beauty. ---- [Cut. Shot: Coach leans down between Gallen and Fiorentini. The mic barely picks him up.] COACH: Get ready boys, your line’s on. [Gallen nods. Fiorentini reaches for a capsule of smelling salts from the bench and gives them a couple of quick whiffs. His face tells us all we need to know. He looks over at Nikitin and offers, but Nikitin declines. He turns to Gallen, who eyes the salts curiously, before leaning in for a whiff. He inhales and quickly decides it was a bad idea, recoiling away immediately.] GALLEN: Smells like cat piss. FIORENTINI: Oh yeah, it’s f--kin’ awful. [Fiorentini takes another whiff before making the change.] [Cut. Shot: The game clock reads: 15:54 remaining, Second period.] PBP VOICEOVER: Nikitin wins a faceoff in the defensive zone and sends the puck back to defender Capy Bara. Bara sends it along to Miroslav Ketil, who’s already potted himself an assist tonight and is looking to clear the defensive zone. [Fiorentini, who’s cherry picked the zone a little, stands in relatively open ice. He cracks the blade of his stick on the ice beneath him, pushing off and skating backwards.] FIORENTINI: Bellsy, I’m here, buddy! [Ketil’s eyes read the opening and send the puck along to an open Fiorentini who, as we see, accelerates along the right side boards and past the two defenders who are caught cheating up.] PBP VOICEOVER: Ketil sends the puck to Fiorentini who turns on the jets along the right side boards! He’s in behind the defenders now, in tight on Shuckle-- [Fiorentini turns away but opens his mouth to celebrate as the goal horn sounds--the puck has trickled in past Raptors netminder Shiny Shuckle.] PBP VOICEOVER: Scores! Fiorentini with his first of the game, and it’s 4-2 Vancouver! [He scrapes a fingertip along the ice and smacks his fist into the glass, celebrating with a young Whalers fan. His team rushes him, mobbing him there.] KETIL: F--k yes, Benny! F--k yeah, buddy! GALLEN: Let’s go, jimbo, let’s f--king go! FIORENTINI: [Cheers] F--k yes! [Fiorentini skates past the Colorado bench on the way to his own and offers some words.] FIORENTINI: Holy f--k, are you guys terrible or what? F--kin’ sad letting a plug like me cook your defenders like that, jesus christ. [The mic barely picks up a friendly response.] JAMES(?): Hey, how about you win some f--kin’ games and quit cherry picking, Benny? FIORENTINI: Hey, how about you quit playing down to your competition, you f--kin’ loser? [The scoreboard reads: VAN 4 - COL 2.] [Cut. Shot: Fiorentini dumps the puck in deep just thirty seconds later. Gallen, off a burst of speed, beats the defender to the puck.] FIORENTINI: Hey, hey, hey! Here, here! [Gallen sends the puck behind the net to Fiorentini, who waits with it for a moment. We see Gallen open in the slot, and Fiorentini wastes no time getting it to him. Gallen sends a one-timer on net, which Nikolai Nikitin gets his stick on, redirecting it down and in. The goal horn sounds as the Whalers second line has their second goal in less than a minute. The men on ice rush the centreman as he pumps a fist down.] GALLEN: Yes! FIORENTINI: F--kin’ hand-eye, Nikky, atta way kid! [The Whalers second line unit skates past the Colorado bench a second time. This time, though, Fiorentini elects simply to grin. The scoreboard reads: VAN 5 - COL 2.] [Cut. Shot: Nikitin wins the faceoff at the center dot and dumps the puck in deep. This time, Fiorentini is the one that races in and grabs the dumped puck. He sends it out to the high slot, onto the blade of Capy Bara, who rips it back on net--Fiorentini reaches out and makes the tip, but Shuckle tracks the puck. The rebound, though, is loose, and picked up again by a speedy Bara, who rips a quick wrister on net--Shuckle makes the save again, but lets the rebound out again as well, and on the third chance, Fiorentini’s quick one-timer off the rebound makes him pay. The goal horn sounds as Fiorentini loses his balance and falls to his knee, but that doesn’t stop his team from mobbing him again. Colorado has allowed three unanswered Whalers goals in just under one minute of game time.] FIORENTINI: Make ‘em f--kin’ pay, boys! Let’s f--kin’ go! GALLEN: Look at that shot! BARA: Beautiful chance. [The scoreboard reads: VAN 6 - COL 2.] ---- [Cut. Shot: The Whalers second line unit are in the defensive zone, trying to stop the cycle. Eventually, the puck comes to Fiorentini’s man, and as they collapse into the zone, Fiorentini drops to a knee to attempt a block, but the puck rings off the post and flies up and out of play. The Raptors player skates past, ready to line up for a faceoff, but not without some choice words from Fiorentini.] FIORENTINI: Holy f--k, like mother like son, you know how to work the pipe like a f--kin’ champ! [We don’t hear the Raptors player’s response before the two men line up side-by-side at the edge of the dot.] FIORENTINI: Yeah, whatever, bud, don’t cry because you’re getting dad-dicked right now. Be thankful it isn’t in front of your own fans, you dumb f--k. [When the puck drops, the Raptors player gives Fiorentini a shove--he laughs it off.] ---- [Cut. Shot: After cycling around the zone, Whalers defender Backup Goaltender, fires a cannon on net--Pyotr Gallen gets his stick on it on the way in, deflecting it down and into the net past Shiny Shuckle once more. Gallen is mobbed by his teammates on the ice--races past and fistbumps the Whalers bench.] FIORENTINI: Atta boy, Petey, what a beauty, holy shit. Hand-f--kin’-eye coordination. [Cut. Shot: Fiorentini takes the ice seconds later, skating past Gallen with a grin and a shove.] FIORENTINI: Look at you, hand-eye, putting ‘er in the f--kin’ net with the sneaky little tip. GALLEN: All luck. FIORENTINI: All f--kin’ skill, Petey, ferda. GALLEN: Ferda! ---- [Cut. Shot: The third period ends with a score of VAN 9 - COL 5. The Whalers flood the ice and head down to their end, hugs and celebrations for their netminder.] FIORENTINI: F--k yeah, Manny, way to put it to ‘em, bud. VECTOR: Thanks, Benny, good shit out there, man. FIORENTINI: Good shit from you. F--k, you were on your head tonight, bud. VECTOR: Could’ve been better. FIORENTINI: F--k that, we’re young. We’re new. You put on a motherf--king show for this home crowd. F--kin’ eh rights, I’m proud of you. VECTOR: Thanks, Benny. [Cut. Shot: The lights are dimmed. Capy Bara and Fiorentini are in the tunnel. Pytor Gallen skates out onto the ice.] PA: Tonight’s third star, from your Vancouver Whalers… Pyotr Gallen! [Gallen waves at the crowd, tossing a puck up over the glass to the fans, before skating back to the tunnel.] PA: Tonight’s second star, from your Vancouver Whalers… Capy Bara! [Bara skates off after being announced as the second star of the game, tossing a ball cap over the glass before returning to the tunnel.] PA: And the first star of the game, from your Vancouver Whalers… Benson Fiorentini! [Fiorentini skates out and waves to the crowd, stopping to toss a Whalers bucket hat over the glass to the young fan that he celebrated his first goal of the game with. He bumps fists with the young man through the glass, before skating back into the tunnel, where Gallen and Bara walk with him back to the locker room.] GALLEN: Look at the big man, first star. Savor it, jimbo, you’re not going to show me up very often. FIORENTINI: Just happy I can take this f--kin’ mic off. [Cut to black.] ---- (WC: 1755) ![[Image: MvfRxO2.png]](https://i.imgur.com/MvfRxO2.png) sigs by me bitch
