Tyler's Treasure

Tyler Seguin's Pre-Season Bash

October 7, 2015

It was an unusually warm Fall October evening in Dallas, Texas. Granted it had only just become Fall and the whole United States was still in the process of cooling down. But it felt like a sauna outside. It was a clear night and the sky was full of stars that twinkled above Tyler Seguin's party mansion house.

It was the night before the National Hockey League (NHL) kicked off the new season. Everyone was super excited and because of it, Tyler had decided to throw a post pre-season party. He'd sent out an invitation to all of his closest friends and to his hockey friends and to everyone really. It was just an open invitation for anyone and everyone to come.

And luckily not everyone showed up. Though his place was packed, it wasn't too bad. There were Dallas civilians, girls, hockey friends and his closest friends present. Jamie Benn, Val Nichushkin, Jason Spezza, Jordie Benn, Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Nikita Zadorov, Nathan Mackinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, Vladimir Tarasenko, Alexander Ovechkin, Kari Lehtonen and insisted that Antti Niemi, the new goalie, attend as well. And there were even more hockey players there.

Outside of the patio, by the pool, all the Russians were gathered. Evgeny Kuznetsov was watching and hanging around Alexander Ovechkin, who was chatting up three young woman and showing them pictures on his phone. They made 'ooh' and 'aahh' noises at him. Nikita Zadorov was chatting with Val Nichushkin and Evgeni Malkin. Vladimir Tarasenko stood nearby sipping from a red solo cup. Vladislav Namestnikov, Nikita Kucherov and Nikita Nesterov were grouped together.

Well, until Vlad decided to jump into the pool with his clothes on. There was a loud splash and "Wooo!" as he hit the water and plunged under. "Вода холодная. Почему это холодно? (The water is cold. Why is it cold?)" Vlad screeched, after he resurfaced.

As he overheard the Russian conversations happening, but not understanding a word of the talk, Tyler Seguin was making his way through the throng of people gathered in his living room. He spotted Jonathan holding up an alcohol funnel with a hose attached to it in the air. He was pouring a whole bottle of scotch into it. Patrick was on the receiving end, with the hose hole to his mouth. A crowd was gathered, cheering and chanting his name.

Tyler watched as the blond appeared to drink it all and then pump his fist in the air, before looping it around his brunette teammate.

"Woo!! Showtime, baby!!" Patrick shouted.

"Way to go Kaner!!" Jonathan praised, downing a shot of vodka himself and grinding his hip into his teammate.

The captain for the Blackhawks then tossed the funnel at the crowd and a sluttily-dressed curly haired brunette woman caught it. She had nothing but a bra and underwear on and she looked like a stripper.

Okay, so the open invitation maybe wasn't the best option. Tyler loved ladies at his parties, but he wasn't a fan of strippers or skanks.

He pressed on, leaving the drunk Blackhawks. He was searching for Jamie Benn cause he had something important to ask him. But the captain for the Dallas Stars wasn't in sight. Where was he? He made it into his foyer, where Sidney Crosby was. Nathan Mackinnon was latched onto him, singing off key to some rap song....or maybe it was more like hip-hop. Jonathan Drouin and Gabriel Landeskog were yelling at him.

Tyler ignored them. Nathan liked Sidney...he was ALWAYS hanging out with him. Since they'd met and played together for Team Canada at the Mini World Series in May. Tyler had had fun and yes, Canada had won against Russia. It was funny seeing Sidney and Nathan forming a friendship off the ice. The young superstar for the Stars moved outside.
