be Dennis Seidenberg
 
your team has just been eliminated from the Playoffs
 
by the Habs
 
god you hate them
 
you haven't been able to play in an actual game in what seems like forever
 
you're up on the ninth floor of the TD Garden
 
all you can do is muster a frown as the final buzzer sounds about the Garden
 
you get up from your seat and make way to the elevator
 
oh fuck almost forgot your coffee
 
you swiftly grab that as you retry your march to the elevator
 
you dreadfully approach the elevator hearing the Montreal faithful celebrate in your building
 
you shake your head and think to yourself that it shouldn't have ended like this
 
this was all too much for you
 
you press the button to go down and you resume thinking this thought
 
"Man, if there was a way to prevent this all from happening.."
 
all of a sudden an idea hits you
 
Rene
 
yeah, Rene! Rancourt has a time machine, you remember talking to him about it
 
he said something about using it to time travel with the Bear
 
you thought he was kidding, but the fierce look of seriousness in Rene's eyes proved otherwise
 
you also thought he was just really fucking wacko
 
well, might as well check in with Rancourt and see if he really is full of crap
 
you turn around and walk back towards your seat you were once occupying
 
as you approached your seat and looked out to the Garden, well, it wasn't so pretty right now
 
you couldn't tell whether the spilled beer and popcorn made it look ugly, or perhaps it was the rally towels scattering the ice
 
at this point the rink was empty and abandoned
 
this was the Garden's final hurrah of the season
 
no time to dwell, it's time to pay Rancourt a visit
 
you take a final swig of you coffee before it joins it's brethren down on the ice
 
it was a hassle to visit Rancourt, as you had to lean out of the press box and whistle the tune to "Potvin Sucks"
 
you prepare yourself as you begin the tune by stretching yourself far beyond the press box, making sure that anyone still remaining in the Garden was sure to hear you
 
as you eeked out the the first and the eventual final note, you hear some machinery noises just above you in the rafters
 
you look above and spot Andrew Raycroft coming down to meet you in a make-shift elevator
 
quite honestly you were surprised the elevator hadn't yet fallen due to the sheer mediocrity of it's construction
 
kind of reminds you of a certain goaltender's career, too
 
"Hey Seides. You rang, buddy?"
 
"Yeah, I want to see Rene. Is he here?"
 
"Of course he is, just hop on and I'll take you there."
 
Being you, you don't think twice and hop onto the sheet of metal that Raycraft used as an elevator
 
as you plopped on, the metal fell a couple feet
 
it fell enough to make you jump, and also to make Andrew laugh
 
as Raycroft pushed a button on an old walkie-talkie, the elevator started to make it's ascent to the rafters
 
you were eye-level with the Stanley Cup banners and Ray Bourque's number
 
such pride in being a Bruin
 
eventually you met your destination above the support beams and there you spot a carpet leading to safety
 
you didn't really enjoy dangling from sheet metal at the top of a sports arena, so you were over anxious to say the least
 
you left Raycroft with a firm handshake and made your way to the familiar gold carpet you've seen before
 
walking down a dark hallway, a couple of sharp turns later you're met face-to-face with a wooden door that reads
 
NHL Personnel Only
 
yeah, pretty sure you're one of those
 
you open the door with no hesitation and your eyes are greeted with Rancourt and Bear both sitting on the bottom of a bunk bed, staring aimlessly at an old tv
 
they both share dead, lifeless eyes
 
you look over to the tv, and the only thing there is the final score of the game you've been honored to witness
 
you glance back over to Rene and the Bear, who still stare at the TV
 
you snap your fingers at the two of them to get their collective attention
