Hockey Imagines

2. Sean Monahan (Calgary Flames #23)

Tonight was opening night at the saddle dome. I was dressed in my number '23' Monahan jersey with a pair of jeans and boots. They were playing the Vancouver Canucks. The feeling when you walk into a patriotic arena was like no other.
"Isn't this great?" I ask my best friend Y/F/N.
"Oh yeah so great,"she says rolling her eyes.
"Oh come on, don't be like that!" I say looking around the arena. This wasn't my first time going to a Calgary game but every time I come I'm always in complete awe at how enthusiastic everyone is before and after the game.
"You know you're right maybe we'll meet our babes," she giggles. I shrug.
"Maybe, stranger things have happened!" We quickly got situated in our seats and the game begun. Jones passes it to Gaudreau who shoots and scores with a shot to the top right hand corner. The goal causes an uproar in the arena while the Flames celebrate and the Canucks pout and hit their sticks against the boards in frustration. Finally, the third period comes around and the score is 3-3. Very good plays are made by each team but none of them are victorious. That is until Monahan comes flying out of the box and snatches the puck from Baertschi's stick gets a breakaway and sends the puck through the five hole. Y/F/N and I shot out of our seats along with everyone else. That's incredible that the Flames are now winning 4-3 with 2 minutes left. Boy! What a two minutes they were. There were fists flying and many shots against our goalie. The final buzzer goes off and everyone goes crazy. What a way to begin a season!! Absolutely incredible.
"How do you feel about waiting around to see if we can find our players,"
"I would be delighted to look for them,"
"I'll go this way, you go that way," I instruct.
"Sounds good," I go off in the directions of the bathrooms. I realize I have to go really badly. After I was done in there I was looking around out in the lobby and realized it was empty.
"Well crap! This is just great," I mutter.
"What's just great?" I hear from behind me. I jump and whip myself around.
"Jesus boy, you scared me," I look up at him and realize it's Sean. "Oh, umm hi?" I ask as he looks down at me his bag slung over his shoulder.
"Hello beautiful, how are you?" He asks.
"I'm great, how about yourself?" I ask still in shock that standing before me is Sean Monahan.
"I'm fantastic, so I see you're a fan?" He smirks and I blush.
"Just a bit,"
"Well I'm always happy to meet a fan. Would you," he pauses when he doesn't know my name.
"Y/N," I say smiling.
"Care to join me for coffee?"
"I have my friend Y/F/N with me," my phone vibrates in my pocket. I pull it out and there is a text from Y/F/N.

Y/F/N: found Gaudreau, he's taking me out for dinner. Sorry hope you find Monahan.
Y/N: don't worry it's alright aha, found Sean. He wants to take me for coffee. I'll see you at the house.

"Looks like I'm free," I smile slipping my phone into my pocket.
"But what about your friend?" He asks raising and eyebrow.
"Her and Gaudreau are going for dinner,"
"Ata boy! Shall we?" He asks. I nod and smile. What a way to open the season.
