Can Saskatoon Make It?

[Aimee 1,119]

We are inside the locker room after Game 5 between the Saskatoon Wild and Las Vegas Aces where goalie Jesse Teno has brought their team into an unimaginable situation.

“Jesse, how are you feeling right now? Two wins in a row against the best team in the league.”

“Honestly, I’m shocked. They’re still shooting like crazy but somehow, I’m managing to keep pucks out of the net. I really can’t explain it. Also the guys doing the scoring have finally found their footing right when we need it.”

“The Ottawa Lynx have just moved to the next round, taking out the Hounds in a massive upset. Think there’s any room for a miracle in Saskatoon as well?”

“I have no idea, but I guess it’s always possible. I suppose we’ll find out soon enough.”

Jesse Teno and the Saskatoon Wild came into the playoffs with little more than pride that they even made it. Now there is a sliver of a chance that they might make it to the next round.
