Wait. Pre-game nap.
Tell me later.
Please.
Love you.
I chuckle at Alexei's rambling thoughts, realizing how cruel it was for me to drop this bomb and then go radio silent. I type a quick response before grabbing my bag.
Ethan Tremblay 4:57 PM
Talked to Sam Montgomery today.
I was honest.
Very, very honest.
He has my permission to run the story
at any time. Jack is ready with a press release.
Alexei Kovalenko 4:58 PM
Holy shit.
I am so, SO proud.
I will also be ready withstatement.
Ethan Tremblay 4:59 PM
Oh yeah?
Alexei Kovalenko 4:59 PM
Yes.
Statement is “Support my friend Ethan or anticipate visit from Russian mob.”
Ethan Tremblay 5:01 PM
I'm sure the front office will love that.
Alexei Kovalenko 5:01 PM
Whether or not Greg is ready for Alexei to threaten gross bodily harm to the league and its fans, I can't help but be grateful Alexei is on my side. I see that my car has arrived and step into the elevator, opening Lindy's message next.
Anders Lindholm 2:48 PM
Thank you for feeling safe sharing that with us, Ethan.
The team will of course support you fully.
We love you, Cap.
I'm a little surprised to see that Johnny has reached out, too. He may be my d-partner, but he's also such a...bro. I know he grew up in the South, so I'm a little concerned what words he may have for me. As I get in the car, I take a deep breath and open his message.
