If you were writing a hockey fiction story - which is like science-fiction without the boring science part - but if you were into hockey fiction, a cool motif would be a home rink 1st period time/event looping gimmick in every game. Just that no one would find it believable.
If you trying to write a ‘factual’ hockey recap where a home rink 1st period time/event looping performance was documented in every game, no one would find it believable. Except Nucking fans.
I feel like I’ve watched this game like 11 times already. — Twitchy
