Summary
After a while, Sid forgot that it was strange. Early on in Geno's second season, Sykora took Sid aside and said, “Look, what is going on with Malkin,” and it took Sid a moment to even figure out what he was talking about.
Sid shrugged. “That's just how Geno is.”
“Like a routine,” Sykora said, expression still skeptical. “A superstition?”
“Sure,” Sid said. “Something like that.”

Summary
The locker room chatter started up almost at once, providing a screen of background noise. Zhenya sat down beside the ghost. “I’m captain. Evgeni Malkin.”
“Sidney Crosby,” the ghost said. He didn’t offer his hand, which made Zhenya think he had been dead for a while, long enough to shed the ingrained habits of the living. “I’m, uh. Is it really 2018?”

Summary
Geno lifted the strap of Sid’s duffel from his shoulder. “I don’t think you can fly.”
Sid had been trying not to think about that. “It’s fine. I’m just. I’ll tell the flight attendant I’m not feeling well.”
Geno made an impatient noise. “Get in, it’s too cold.” He reached into Sid’s coat pocket and fished out his keys and jingled them in Sid’s face. “You let me drive. We go to Canada.”

Summary
Jen didn’t say anything to him until they were seated in her office with the door closed. Then she sighed and said, “Sid, you called Bertuzzi a bloodsucker.”
“What? No I didn’t,” Sid protested. “I called him a cocksucker.”
“That’s worse,” Jen said. “Don’t tell anyone that.”

Summary
The naiad moved in shortly after Sid finished his house, that first summer, a week after he filled the pool. He noticed some splashing one morning while he was eating breakfast, and when he went outside to investigate, she popped her head up out of the water, clung to the side of the pool, and hissed at him.
“Uh,” Sid said, still holding a slice of toast in one hand. Dew from the grass chilled his bare feet. “Are you—hi?”
