People follow a sport like hockey and they look for symbolism. They want the game to mean something, they want the game to matter. So to them a fresh sheet of ice just after the Zamboni lays its final spray of water presents the purest vision of possibility you could imagine. Skates being sharpened over and over and over again, our meditation on perfection, and the routines and rituals that surround the rink are a language of dedication in need of no translation. To them, games arent meant to be seen, they are meant to be felt. Blood points a path directly to the heart, sweat a trail to the soul, and tears a connection to a conviction that people search for for their entire lives. The ones that look for something more, and believe in something more, are the ones that turn close games into unforgettable nights. Who transform great players into heros for all time, and who no matter what maintain unwavering faith in the incredible. There are people out there who look at a game like hockey and want it to matter, so it does.
