Summary: First I Love You - After a day that gets increasingly worse, Jamie plans a date night to indirectly celebrate your two-month anniversary.

A/n: Cherry is back with a fic after a month of radio silence in typical aodre the distance fashion lol. Anyway! This has been in my drafts forever and I hate it, I can't proof it due to writer's block, and I'm honestly just done staring at it so here ya go!

You can read part 1 of the series of firsts here. The next and final first on the list is first time which is of course gonna be a lil smutty. I might write some Trevor pieces in the interim just depending how I'm feeling.

Today is just one of those days. My class ran much longer than usual and I had to stay after to ask my professor questions before the midterm that night, then I didn’t have time to make myself lunch so I grabbed the pizza rolls from my freezer to heat up at work, then I burned the pizza rolls beyond consumption and did not have any back up food, then I was starving and stressed and unable to use my time at work to study for the exam. I was crying in a puddle of stress and tears. And Jamie didn’t miss a beat. 

Upon hearing how horrible my morning and afternoon had been, he ordered my usual meal from In-N-Out and brought it to me at work so I wouldn’t starve. Then, he offered to make me dinner after I finished my midterm and I tearfully and appreciatively accepted. These little actions of consideration are what have made me fall deeper and deeper in love with Jamie. 

We reached our two months anniversary today but I didn’t make a big deal about it. I feel weird about potentially being one of those couples that celebrates every tiny little milestone like it’s the biggest thing in the world. Still neither of us have said “I love you” yet. But if Jamie continues caring for and about me like this, I’m not sure much longer I can hold it in. That’s why I decided I would tell him tonight.

After cooking dinner for the two of us, and pouring a congratulatory glass of wine to celebrate the 95 I got on my midterm, we laid down on the couch together. Happy and fed, I rest my head on the expanse of his broad chest. Jamie presses a kiss into my hair, bringing his left arm to drape over my shoulders.

“God, 2 months already?!” Trevor asks Jamie incredulously, making me roll my eyes at the playful jab.

“Don’t sound so surprised, Zegras.”

“You’re just mad cause you can’t pull.” Jamie’s accusation makes me laugh at the offended look on Trevor’s face. 

“Don’t get it twisted, I can pull.”

“You just can’t get them to stay?” I ask innocently, absentmindedly messing with Jamie’s fingers. Jamie laughs heartily. He interlaces his with mine to give my hand a gentle squeeze. “But to answer your original question, yes, it’s been 2 months already.” 

The scruff of my boyfriend’s 5 o’clock shadow brushes the back of my hand as he kisses the flat part of my knuckle. Trevor, observing the entire action, leans over the kitchen trashcan and pretends to throw up. Jamie merely laughs and I roll my eyes once more, “Shut the fuck up! You are so dramatic.”

“And for what?” Jamie chimes in which makes me smile to see he’s been picking up some of my mannerisms and phrases as well. That’s been my favorite part of dating him so far. The way his music taste slowly infiltrates mine. The way he now keeps a trashbag in his car after realizing how useful the one in mine is. The way he’s wearing the soft blue hoodie he lent me, for the reason that it now smells like me, which is why I had stolen it from him in the first place.

“I’m happy for you guys, really,” Trevor grabs his car keys from off the granite kitchen counter, “Thank you for rubbing salt into the open wound.”

“Oh my god-” Jamie starts.

“Get out of here!” I finish for him, urging Trevor to leave. 

“I’m gone!” He obliges. Then, Jamie kisses my head again, prompting me to sit up. 

“Did he say where he was going?”

“Mmm… no, actually. If I had to guess, he’s probably going golfing with the guys.”

“No way, he was dressed way too nice for golf…” I trail off, racking my brain for where he could have possibly been headed. Shrugging off the idea, I straddle Jamie’s hips, and look down at him. I smile. Overcome with the warm sensation of staring at my boyfriend. Jamie nudges me with his hips, indicating he would like me to lay back down. Before I comply, I pull my hair back tying it out of the way so I’m free to kiss Jamie as much as I please. He watches my every move, eyes flooded with adoration.

“At practice this morning, McT said he…” Jamie trails off mid sentence. As he was talking, I finished tying my hair back and then leaned down as he had wanted me to. He’s looking at me with eyes slightly widened and lips parted in surprise. 

“What?” I ask, concerned as to why Jamie stopped talking. He simply says,

“You’re really pretty.” The seemingly arbitrary declaration makes me laugh but does nothing to aid my confusion.

“Okay?”

“You’re just so pretty I think I short-circuited.” The earnest confession makes me smile and giggle, so I press a soft kiss to Jamie’s lips.

“You’re cute. So what did Mason say?”

“Oh yeah, he said that he wants to meet you.”

“Really?” I ask, rubbing my thumb over Jamie’s cheekbone. He kisses my palm before responding,

“Despite how much you and Trevor bully each other, he’s told everyone on the team about how cool you are. He kinda took the liberty to do it himself since I do gush about you, but I get shy about it.” Jamie is uncharacteristically speaking out loud his stream of consciousness, and I take a back seat to admire how talkative he can be when he’s with me. A stark contrast to the shy, almost silent boy I’d had my first date with. Noticing how much he’s talking, Jamie ends his rambling but I smile softly, encouragingly,

“It’s unfortunate that the ‘cool girl’ is seemingly the only archetype that consistently receives approval from men, but it is true nonetheless.”

“Yeah, like, it’s not that I need his approval, but it is nice when your boys like your girlfriend… Well, it’s what you said, you just said it better. I’m mansplaining aren’t I?” He asks, bashfully. I roll my eyes and appreciatively kiss his lips once more.

“Get out of your head, Drysdale. Do you have anxiety?” 

“Shut up. I think you’re the only person I’ve ever met who can always tell when I’m overthinking.”

“Maybe I’m just the only one with the audacity to comment on it,” I playfully propose, smiling when I succeed in making Jamie laugh. 

“I don’t think so.”

“We’ll agree to disagree. It’s unlikely, but not impossible.” Dropping the bit, Jamie and I smile at each other, melting into a comfortable silence. He looks at me with soft eyes, pink blush creeping across his cheeks the longer I continue to stare. I rest my left hand on the side of his face once more. I brush my thumb over his cheekbone again, and rub the top of my fingers repeatedly against the stubble adorning his jaw. Jamie lifts his eye brows before saying,

“What, do I need to shave?”

“No. I just like the way it feels.”

“Oh, hey, you said you’re done with school by mid december, right?”

“Yeah, why?”

“My mom asked if you were coming to Christmas this year.”

“Did she really?” Jamie hesitates a moment before his brows furrow in sincere disapproval.

“You’ve been my girlfriend for two months now. She will not shut up about meeting you.”

“What? Why?” He then blushes fiercely and cowers his head into the large hoodie he’s slouched on. Jamie doesn’t meet my gaze as he talks,

“I told her all about you the other day.” I bite back the giant smile that prods at my features before replying,

“What did you tell her?”

“Just stuff about you!”

“What stuff about me?!”

“I told her you’re a student and what you’re studying. I told her where you’re from and what your family is like. And I told her about how I stare at you between red lights when we’re going somewhere.” The last piece of information makes me laugh and I tilt my head in confusion.

“How did that last part come up?” It was a simple question, really. One that I hadn’t even bothered to put a lot of thought into; one that came from my basic stream of consciousness. And certainly not one that I imagined would ellicit such a reaction from Jamie. His eyes widened and softened all at once, his blush glowing brighter across his cheeks, and his lips parting to allow the irregular pace of breathing he had now adopted.

“I guess… I called her because I was unsure of what I was feeling…? I was kinda freaking out about it. As I told her about our first date, she said that just talking about you made me visibly happier. She noticed that, even though I wasn’t aware of how happy I’d gotten. Then she demanded to meet you as soon as possible…” Jamie sheepishly looks up at me after finishing his mini monologue. The traces of endeared happiness immediately vanish and Jamie looks at me horrified. In describing how happy I make this boy, I felt tears welling up on my lashes, relieved to be experiencing something so thoroughly mutual.

“Oh my god, please don’t cry I’m sorry!” I laugh through the tears and playfully smack his chest.

“Jamie…”

“You make me really happy, Y/n. Like, really really happy-”

“I love you,” I blurt out. I’m a bit stunned and honestly scared of how quickly this confession escaped me. But I know it’s true. And isn’t that the scariest part?

“I love you too.”

“Really?” I ask through unrelenting tears.

“Yes,” Jamie rests his hands on the tops of my hip bones, “I kind of lied by saying my mom said I looked happy… She said I looked very in love, but I didn’t want to be too forward and say that if you maybe didn’t feel the same way.”

“Bro, you worry so much, are you sure you don’t have anxiety?”

“Shut the fuck up!”

[pucking-insane]

Ok request for Trevor Zegras! Especially after he got his first goal last night!! Something where maybe he’s jealous or upset because Jamie got one his first game and he didn’t and you were congratulations Jamie so Trevor is like super upset and you have to reassure him in the most special ways that you’re super extra proud of him!

So we all know Trevor has a little bit (okay a lot) of an ego.

When he gets called up to the NHL, it kind of goes to his head.

Not going to lie, Jamie was kind of hurt when Trevor rubbed it in his face.

We're calling back to the WJC final, but that's as much as we're saying about that.

Before we get too ahead of ourselves, some background information:

You and Trevor have been together for quite a while.

You frequented Trevor and Jamie's apartment and it really made you wonder why you even had your own apartment.

You were super close with Jamie as well as Trevor, Jamie always there to hype you up or just listen whenever Trevor wouldn't let you talk because he always had so much to talk about.

N E WAYS

Moving on...

You were hanging out with Trevor and Jamie when Jamie got the call that he was making his debut.

Everyone was excited, but you were upset that you couldn't be at the game because of restrictions and cheer on both of your boys.

Instead, you kissed Trevor goodbye and sent him and Jamie off to the game.

You sat on the boys' couch and watched the game, a Ducks jersey on with Trev's name displayed across your shoulders.

Your Instagram and Snapchat friends and followers definitely could tell how excited you were when you posted your reaction to Jamie's "no bucket" solo lap at the beginning of warmups.

When Jamie got his goal, you were ecstatic, thinking "Yay, bestie got his first point!"

We all know that wasn't the case but we all know that the goal got changed after Trevor scored his goal, so bear with me here.

You definitely screamed when Trevor scored.

You were so proud of your boyfriend and all he had accomplished and tears spilled from your eyes as you watched your boyfriend and his best friend celebrate on the ice.

You sent a quick text to Trevor "so proud of you superstar! we'll celebrate when you get home :)"

And then Jamie's goal got changed and oh boy, more craziness.

You knew the boys would have a lot of media, especially after their amazing games, but you were itching for them to come home.

When they finally did, you attacked them with hugs.

"Oh my god, Jamie, that goal was insane! How did it feel?"

You didn't realize in the moment, but you had kind of ignored your boyfriend other than a kiss when he first walked in.

"Do you not love me? Are you not proud of me?"

The questions caught you off guard once you were both in bed, tired from the excitement of the evening.

"What do you mean? Of course I'm proud of you. And I love you more than anything."

"You only talked to Jamie when we got back. And I get it, he's Mr Hot Shot scoring his first goal in his debut. But you're my girlfriend, Y/N. Not Jamie's. It hurts."

"Oh, Trevor, I'm so sorry."

You cuddled into Trevor's chest, wrapping your arms around his waist.

"How can I make it up to you?"

He shrugged his shoulders in silence before pursing his lips in a kissy face.

You giggled lightly before pecking Trevor's lips quickly.

His lips formed a pout before making another kissy face.

"You are insatiable, Trevor Zegras."

You giggled before peeling off the t-shirt of Trevor's that you were wearing and discarding it to the floor, knowing exactly what Trevor wanted (and you weren't complaining).

You spent the rest of the week (and Trevor's birthday) making it up to him.

After all, he was your superstar, and you were incredibly proud of all that he had accomplished.

First Meet - Jamie Drysdale x Reader

Hockey Masterlist

Warnings: swearing? very PG meet cute

Words: 1020

Summary: First meet - having a meet-cute with Jamie Drysdale in a smoothie shop.

A/n: In an attempt to make up for me being gone for two months, I give you the first installment of the series of firsts. Some other firsts coming soon: first date, first I love you, and first time.

“A seagull is not a predator!” My best friend Chelsea argues as we enter the Jamba Juice of the spectrum center. The line is longer than we’re used to since this is the first time we’ve been here on a Sunday, but the wait doesn’t deter us and we stand patiently in line while we argue.

“What do you mean?! They literally eat fish.”

“Well, yeah. But they’re diving for bites from the ocean, they’re not hunting schools of fish!” She fights back growing increasingly more agitated and amused. The conversation only gets louder as we finally step into the smoothie shop. The long line of other less passionate conversations in tandem with the volume of the blenders has us shouting over the rest of the shop.

“What difference does it make!” I screech out of frustration, unsure of why Chelsea and I are having such a huge disconnect over the issue. We’re furious with each other but we’re also failing not to laugh at the ridiculous nature of the conversation.

“It makes a huge difference actually!” Chelsea huffs a sigh through her undefeated smile.

“Look, all I’m saying is that any animal can be a predator, it just has to try hard enough!” My declaration is immediately followed by a hearty laugh, but not from Chelsea. Turning around, I look over my right shoulder to see a boy around our age, waiting by the end of the counter for his order to be completed. The high contrast of his flowing dark hair and fair complexion is captivating, and a soft ocean blue shimmers in his kind eyes.

“Sorry,” He says earnestly, though he’s still smiling. I exhale a small laugh before replying,

“It’s okay. The argument was ridiculous to begin with,” throwing the pointed comment at Chelsea whose eyebrows raise in shock.

“Yeah. It is. So just give in already!”

“Oh my god. You see what I have to put up with?” I comment on her stubbornness, causing the stranger to laugh once more, and he nods knowingly.

“I feel that. He’s the exact same way,” he says, gesturing to the boy next to him. The comment causes him to turn around, light brown hair flipping with the sharp movement. His friend is cute and all but I find myself still enraptured in the first stranger’s eyes.

“Dibs.” I hear Chelsea softly whisper behind me in reference to the dark haired boy’s friend.

“I’m Y/n, by the way,” I say amicably to the first boy. He smiles softly and extends me his hand to shake.

“Jamie.” Jamie. “And this is Trevor.” Trevor reaches out to shake my hand also but I’m ushered away as Chelsea steps in. I hold in a laugh as best I can, shaking my head in an amused disbelief. Good for her.

“Chelsea. Nice to meet you guys.”

“Are you guys from Cali?” Trevor asks her to strike up conversation. 

“I am, but she isn’t. I take it you guys aren’t from here?”

“What gave me away?” Trevor squints with a laugh. Chelsea is visibly charmed and laughs along with him.

“No one from California calls it Cali,” I answer. Jamie laughs sheepishly, a soft blush creeping across his cheeks. He’s so cute.

“I’m from Toronto,” he replies simply and my ears perk up.

“Toronto’s nice. Are you hockey fans?” I ask, using some of the very little information I know about Canada. The two boys laugh and share a knowing glance.

“You could say that.” Trevor answers smugly. The comment strikes me as odd and I cross my arms defensively to jeer,

“Why are you laughing?”

“We play hockey professionally.” My lips part in a mild shock.

“And you make money doing that?” I ask, incredulously.

“You could say that.” Trevor shrugs and then asks Chelsea about the necklace she’s wearing, though it’s clear he’s only staring at her cleavage. Idiot. I return my attention to Jamie and smile.

“What do you like to do in your free time? Other than hitting on girls in smoothie shops.” Jamie laughs sheepishly once more. The raucous whirring of the juicers makes the shop a loud environment for conversation; he subconsciously steps closer to me to hear better. 

“Well, I was learning guitar for a little bit.”

“How’d that go?”

“Pretty terrible, not gonna lie.” Jamie and I laugh over the confession. 

“Did you learn any songs or just chords?”

“I tried to learn a song but it wasn’t going so well.”

“That’s a shame. What song?”

“In case you didn’t know by Brett Young.”

“In case you didn’t know,” I sing in the worst pseudo-country accent I could manage, “That one?”

Jamie laughs hard, nodding yes as his nose scrunches and his eyes fall closed. I laugh at his reaction, although I’m trying to hold it together. “Why are you laughing?” I feign ignorance and he laughs harder.

“Oh my god, that caught me so off guard.”

“What can I say? I’m full of surprises.”

“That’s one way to put it. You’re cute.”

“What are you gonna do about it?” I fake challenge, crossing my arms over my chest as if I’m contemplating fighting him. Jamie merely pulls out his phone and hands it to me to text myself. It’s at this point that I have a moment to tune back in to Chelsea and trevor.

“Oh you’re doing numbers?” She comments from her vantage point and I laugh out of slight embarrassment.

“Maybe.” I say, playing coy to Chelsea, but I can tell Jamie’s taking me literally. “Here.”

Jamie takes the phone back to look at the sent message. In handing over the phone, the tips of his fingers brushed mine and the gesture ignites butterflies in my stomach. 

“Y/n,” He recites gently, smiling at the screen that displays the new text conversation. I bite back a smile at the sound of my name on his tongue, and nod softly. 

“Yo, Jimmy, we gotta go.” Trevor calls over the noise of the smoothie shop. He nods in acknowledgement before looking back at me with a small smile.

“I’ll text you?”

“Don’t forget it.”

***

A/n: this is just a little blurb but there's more to come. I have exams right now but once they're done I'll be back!

[three-headed-monster]

Oohhhh absolutely that night In the bedroom would be spicyyyyyyyy

Stilll today all I thought about was Jamie skating, and shoving other players during Wj, and I will continue to think about that lol.

But I feel like Jamie getting mad would be a bit frightening in the sense that he’s seems really sweet and gentle, but has this angry side to him?

Omg they also showed Ryan Suzuki getting checked really hard, and Jamie and Bowen fighting with the guys that hurt Ryan 🥺🥺, but then no one was guarding Devon so ryan had to zoom to get the puck away lol

OMG anon i think about jamie drysdale skating...smiling...doing anything basically ALL THE TIME

okay okay imagine just being on jamie’s backyard rink in his childhood home and him teaching you how to skate 🥺 i would love this if you DIDN’T know

he’s so sweet and gentle and boy wouldn’t get angry often, but when he gets angry, he just kind of explodes.  he’s just not able to control his anger and he throws it everywhere, is this my hc?  YES

ryan suzuki goes ZOOM i love my asian buddy hehe

Repêchage simulé de la LNH : les choix 1 à 16

1. RANGERS DE NEW YORK– ALEXIS LAFRENIÈRE, Ailier Gauche

Je ne crois pas avoir besoin d’expliquer ce choix. Au suivant. 

2. KINGS DE LOS ANGELES – QUINTON BYFIELD, Centre

Un choix pas nécessairement sexy mais très logique pour les Kings ici. En effet, Byfield, un colosse de 6 pieds 4, 220 livres, est souvent comparé à Evgeni Malkin, mais aussi à Anze Kopitar, le centre numéro 1 des Kings de Los Angeles. Byfield est un monstre offensif, avec une vitesse incroyable pour un joueur de sa taille, mais aussi des mains et un tir à en effrayer plus d’un gardien de la Ligue Nationale. Par contre, son point faible est son jeu en zone défensive, et je crois que de jouer et pratiquer avec Kopitar, un ancien gagnant du Selke, pourrait lui faire le plus grand bien. Et pour ceux qui se disent que les Kings ont déjà assez d’espoirs au centre avec Alex Turcotte, Gabe Vilardi et Rasmus Kupari, je suis de ceux qui croient qu’une équipe ne peut jamais avoir trop de bons centres, et une ligne de centre Byfield – Turcotte- Vilardi pourrait faire des ravages dans la ligue pendant plusieurs années. 

3. SÉNATEURS D’OTTAWA – TIM STUETZLE, Ailier Gauche

En répondant à un journaliste qui lui demandait qui il allait prendre au 3e rang, Pierre Dorion a dit à la blague « demandez aux Kings qu’ils vont prendre et vous saurez qui je prends ». Il est donc logique de supposer qu’Ottawa ne sortira pas un lapin de son chapeau et va choisir Tim Stuetzle, qui a produit 34 points en 41 dans la DEL, qui est une ligue d’hommes. Jouant principalement à l’aile mais étant tout de même un très bon fabricant de jeu, il est possible que les Sens le convertissent en centre, où il va fabriquer les buts de Brady Tkatchuk pendant longtemps. Selon moi, il est un meilleur choix à long terme que Quinton Byfield, car il a un plus haut potentiel que ce dernier. 

4. RED WINGS DE DÉTROIT – MARCO ROSSI, Centre

La définition même du joueur complet, Rossi excelle autant à l’attaque (et par exceller, je parle de 120 points et 56 matchs avec les 67’s d’Ottawa la saison passée) qu’en défense, et il est un des joueurs les plus intenses du draft, donnant son 100% à chaque présence sur la glace. Les Red Wings, n’ayant pas d’espoir pouvant remplir le rôle de centre numéro du futur (je ne considère pas Joe Veleno comme un potentiel centre numéro dans la LNH), seront emballés de choisir Marco Rossi, qui pourrait jouer dans la ligue nationale dès l’année prochaine et même remplir leur poste de 2e centre.

5. SÉNATEURS D’OTTAWA – JAMIE DRYSDALE, Défenseur

Un choix assez logique pour Ottawa, qui ont besoin d’un défenseur droitier qui pourra jouer avec Thomas Chabot dans le futur. Certes, ils ont des bons espoirs à la droite de leur défense, comme Lassi Thomson et Jacob Bernard-Docker, mais ces derniers seront probablement des défenseurs de 2e  et 3e  paire dans la ligue nationale, tandis que Drysdale à le potentiel de devenir une vedette à la défensive chez les Sens. Comparé à Cale Makar dû à un coup de patin digne de l’élite, Drysdale est un défenseur qui excelle dans sa zone tout en apportant de l’offensive. La saison dernière, il a fait 47 points en 49 matchs avec les Otters de Erie de la OHL, et 3 points en 7 matchs au championnat mondial junior des moins de 20 ans. Les Sens pourraient donc régler deux de leurs problèmes organisationnels, soit la ligne de centre et la défense, lors du top 5 de ce draft, et c’est ce que je crois qu’ils feront.

6. DUCKS D’ANAHEIM – LUCAS RAYMOND, Ailier Gauche

Si Raymond est encore disponible au 6e rang, les Ducks ne peuvent pas se permettre de passer par-dessus. Étant vu comme un potentiel choix du top 3 au début de la saison, Raymond a tout pour plaire aux Ducks, c’est un ailier qui est un des meilleurs fabricants du jeu du draft, tout en étant capable de marquer des buts. Ses statistiques de 4 buts et 6 passes en 33 matchs l’an dernier en SHL ne sautent pas aux yeux, mais il faut comprendre que la SHL est une ligue très défensive et Raymond avait un rôle limité dans son équipe, le Frolunda HC. À Anaheim, il pourrait régler un problème organisationnel (ils n’ont pas de vrai ailier gauche de deuxième trio), tout en retrouvant ses confrères suédois en Jakob Silfverberg, Hampus Lindholm, Isac Lunderstrom et Rickard Rakell. Un choix excitant pour les Ducks, car Raymond possède probablement le plus haut ceilling de tout le repêchage de 2020.

7. DEVILS DU NEW JERSEY – ALEXANDER HOLTZ, Ailier Droit

Je crois qu’Alexander Holtz ne passera pas les Devils car plusieurs rumeurs disent que le New Jersey l’adore, avec raison, car Holtz est celui qui pourrait devenir le meilleur marqueur de toute la draft 2020. En effet, le suédois possède un des tirs les plus précis des joueurs de la draft 2020, et ses 9 buts en 35 matchs dans la SHL le confirment. Holtz viendrait, tout comme Raymond avec les Ducks, remplir un problème organisationnel chez les Devils (ils n’ont pas d’ailier droit qui peut marquer des buts après Kyle Palmieri), et le fait de penser que Holtz pourrait compléter les jeux de Jack Hughes dans le futur me fait saliver. Holtz pourrait devenir un futur marqueur de 40 buts, et c’est pourquoi je crois que les Devils ne peuvent passer par-dessus. 

8. SABRES DE BUFFALO – YAROSLAV ASKAROV, Gardien

La première surprise du Mock Draft, plusieurs scouts voient Askarov être repêché aux alentours du 11e choix. Par contre, surprise si elle est, reste que les Sabres feraient une très belle affaire en repêchant le gardien russe de 18 ans. Vu comme le meilleur espoir au poste de gardien de but depuis Carey Price, Askarov a tous les atouts pour devenir aussi bon que le gardien du Tricolore. Très calme devant son filet, il est rare qu’il se fait prendre à donner des mauvais buts. Ses statistiques de .974 et 0.74 buts alloués par matchs depuis le début de la saison en KHL ont de quoi faire saliver les Sabres, qui viendraient régler un de leurs nombreux problèmes organisationnels en repêchant «Yaro». 

9. WILD DU MINNESOTA – COLE PERFETTI, Centre

On le sait, le Wild du Minnesota a désespérément besoin de centres à l’heure où l’on se parle, ayant échangé leur meilleur centre des dernières années en la personne d’Eric Staal et ayant décidé de ne pas resigner Mikko Koivu, le visage du Wild au centre depuis 15 ans. C’est pourquoi je crois que s’il est encore disponible au 10e rang, le Wild va définitivement choisir Cole Perfetti. Un des meilleurs fabricants de jeu du repêchage (sinon le meilleur), Perfetti serait le centre parfait pour le Wild. Ses statistiques de 37 buts et 74 points la saison dernière font de lui un des meilleurs pointeurs de tout le repêchage. Contrairement à plusieurs scouts qui le voient être repêché au 4e rang par les Red Wings, je crois que Perfetti sera disponible au rang du Wild, car même si sa vision du jeu est incroyable, son jeu en défensive laisse à désirer et son coup de patin n’est pas aussi fort que certains autres prospects au centre, dont Marco Rossi. Je ne sais pas s’il deviendra un centre numéro 1 pour le Wild, mais tout de même, le Wild serait plus que content de pouvoir compter Perfetti parmi ses rangs pour les années à venir. 

10. JETS DE WINNIPEG – JAKE SANDERSON, Défenseur

Un choix assez logique ici pour les Jets, qui ont un besoin criant à la défense. Sanderson, un défenseur gaucher avec un coup de patin très smooth et un très bon jeu dans les trois zones, pourrait devenir le défenseur gaucher de 2e ligne des Jets, et va certainement se battre avec Ville Heinola et Josh Morrissey pour le poste de défenseur gaucher numéro 1 des Jets. Reste maintenant à savoir si les habiletés offensives que Sanderson a démontré dans le programme de développement américain pourront se transposer dans la ligue nationale, ce dont plusieurs recruteurs doutent encore. Sans ses habiletés offensives, il restera tout de même un défenseur solide dans la ligue nationale, et je ne crois pas que les Jets vont regretter ce choix.

11. PRÉDATEURS DE NASHVILLE – JACK QUINN, Ailier droit

Même si aux dernières nouvelles, les Preds s’intéressent de plus en plus à Dawson Mercer, je crois qu’ils vont jeter leur dévolu sur Jack Quinn, un produit des 67’s d’Ottawa. Un autre fin marqueur, Quinn possède un des tirs les plus foudroyants de la draft 2020, et il l’utilise à bon escient, ayant marqué 52 (!!!) buts en 62 matchs dans la OHL la saison dernière. Même s’il est un excellent marqueur, Quinn ne néglige pas le côté défensif de la game, ce qui va plaire aux Predateurs de Nashville, qui sont reconnus pour préconiser un style plus défensif et adorer les attaquants capables de revenir en zone défensive comme Nick Bonino et Kyle Turris. Quinn va être parfait dans le rôle de deuxième ailier gauche (derrière Viktor Arvidsson), et va faire le bonheur chez les Preds dès son arrivée, j’en suis persuadé.

12. PANTHERS DE LA FLORIDE – ANTON LUNDELL, Centre

Le choix de mon Mock Draft dont je suis le plus fier. En effet, je trouve que le fit entre Anton Lundell et les Panthers est juste trop parfait. Lundell, un centre de 6 pieds 1, est vu comme le futur récipiendaire du trophée Selke du repêchage de 2020, son jeu dans sa zone étant si excellent. Tout de même, Lundell ne néglige pas l’aspect offensif, ayant fait 28 points en 44 matchs dans la Liiga l’année dernière. La raison pour laquelle je crois que Lundell serait parfait en Floride est qu’il pourrait apprendre d’un autre centre qui excelle en défensive tout en amenant un bon apport offensif, soit monsieur Alexander Barkov. Il pourrait devenir le centre numéro 2 parfait chez les Panthers, qui, avec lui et Barkov, pourraient avoir deux lignes shutdown, c’est-à-dire deux lignes d’attaque où les attaquants marquent des buts tout en neutralisant les attaquants adverses. Par contre, pour devenir un deuxième centre de calibre LNH, Lundell devra être capable de réaliser des saisons de 50 à 60 points, et plusieurs recruteurs doutent encore de sa capacité à amener un apport offensif dans la grande ligue. 

13. HURRICANES DE LA CAROLINE – RODION AMIROV, Ailier Gauche

Amirov connait un début de saison monstrueux en KHL, avec 5 points en 9 matchs, et c’est pourquoi il commence à monter dans plusieurs Mock Drafts, lui qui était vu comme un choix de fin de première ronde. Amirov est un attaquant qui joue aussi bien dans sa zone que dans la zone adverse, et il possède plusieurs qualités offensives qui font de lui un prospect très alléchant. En effet, sa facilité à contrôler la rondelle et son très bon tir font de lui quelqu’un qui a le potentiel de jouer sur n’importe quel top 6 dans la ligue nationale, et je crois qu’il serait parfait sur le top 6 des Hurricanes dans quelques années, lui qui pourrait jouer derrière son compatriote russe, Andrei Svechnikov. À 167 livres, il devra prendre du muscle pour développer l’aspect physique de son jeu, mais selon moi, ce ne sera pas un problème pour lui. 

14.OILERS D’EDMONTON – SETH JARVIS, Ailier Droit

Je ne mentirai pas, Seth Jarvis est mon espoir préféré du repêchage de 2020, et je rêve de le voir enfiler un uniforme bleu-blanc-rouge. Par contre, je ne crois pas qu’il sera disponible au rang du Canadien, et je ne serais pas déçu de le voir être repêché par les Oilers, car le fit entre Jarvis et Edmonton est excellent. Il est un des joueurs les plus complets du repêchage, mais ce qui le démarque réellement est son coup de patin. Il est un patineur très smooth, et il sait utiliser son accélération et sa rapidité à bon escient, étant capable de contourner les défenseurs sans effort. Jarvis, qui a comptabilisé 98 points la saison dernière, a pris son envol en deuxième moitié de saison, et ne fait que monter dans les Mock Drafts depuis. Jarvis serait parfait pour Edmonton car avec lui, Connor McDavid aurait enfin un ailier aussi rapide que lui qui peut compléter ses jeux. Je crois que Jarvis sera le vol du repêchage, et son style de jeu me fait penser à Matthew Barzal, qui a été le vol du repêchage de 2015.

15. MAPLE LEAFS DE TORONTO – BRADEN SCHNEIDER, Défenseur 

Kyle Dubas ne s’en est pas caché, il veut améliorer sa défensive pendant le repêchage. C’est donc pourquoi je crois qu’il va jeter son dévolu sur Braden Schneider, un défenseur de 6 pieds 2, 209 livres avec un très bon coup de patin. Je le mets devant Kaiden Ghule car Schneider est droitier, il pourrait donc, dans quelques années, venir compléter Morgan Rieilly sur la première paire de défense des Leafs. Schneider est un défenseur plus complet qu’offensif (même s’il a fait 42 en 60 matchs l’an passé) et son jeu défensif excellent permettrait aux Leafs de ne pas s’inquiéter lorsque Reilly décide de partir seul dans la zone adverse, en sachant qu’ils ont Schneider qui peut neutraliser la contre-attaque de l’équipe adverse si jamais Reilly se fait enlever la rondelle. À moins d’une grande surprise, je vois les Leafs repêcher soit Schneider, soit Ghule avec le 15e choix. 

16. CANADIENS DE MONTRÉAL – DAWSON MERCER, Centre

Enfin le moment tant attendu, c’est-à-dire le choix du Canadien. Si Seth Jarvis n’est plus disponible, je crois que le Tricolore ferait une méchante belle affaire en repêchant Mercer. Même s’il est listé comme un centre, il a joué principalement à l’aile droite dans la LHJMQ, et a très bien fait à cette position, récoltant 60 points en 42 matchs la saison dernière. Mercer est un des joueurs avec le meilleur QI hockey du draft. Il est toujours bien positionné sur la glace, et joue aussi bien en zone défensive qu’en zone offensive. Il cadrerait parfaitement avec la philosophie du Canadien, qui nous a démontré avec les derniers repêchages qu’il préconise des attaquants qui ont la capacité de bien jouer dans leur zone, en repêchant des gars comme Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Ryan Poehling et Nick Suzuki. Dawson Mercer me fait énormément penser à ce dernier, car comme Suzuki, il n’est pas le plus rapide ni le meilleur patineur, mais son positionnement et son QI hockey élevé fait qu’il est toujours bien placé pour marquer des buts ou neutraliser une contre-attaque adverse. Un choix évident s’il est encore disponible au rang du Canadien, Mercer fera partie de cette relève à l’attaque qui semble de plus en plus prometteuse.

First Date - Jamie Drysdale x Reader

Hockey Masterlist

Warnings: swearing, mentions of homicide, sexual references.

Words: 1249

Summary: First date - Jamie invites you over and cooks dinner for your first date, complete with bottle service and banter.

A/n: Hey! I'm back! Summer classes kicked my ass so I promised this mini-series to make up for the lull in activity. You can read part 1 called "First Meet" here. Some other firsts coming soon (and by soon I mean eventually): first I love you, and first time.

“Hey!” 

“Hi!” I smile brightly as Jamie opens the door. After our smoothie shop meet cute, Jamie invited me over to have dinner and watch a movie, just to get to know each other a little better. He offered to take us somewhere nice but with how nervous I was in the smoothie shop, I figured staying in would minimize my nerves. Granted, I’m still nervous as hell, since he’s so cute and sweet. I feel an intense anxiety weighing on my chest. But Jamie just smiles brightly and the kindness in his features dissipates all my nerves in an instant.

Stepping aside, he welcomes me into the space. The first-date jitters are eased, yet not fleeting. After I cross the threshold, I gently kick off my shoes, smoothing the fabric of my skirt before following Jamie into a sizable kitchen space.

“I’m surprised the kitchen is so clean,” I say, mostly as a joke. Jamie laughs softly before turning the flame of the gas stove higher. The walls of the pan are high enough that I can’t see inside, but it smells great so I opt to trust the process.

“You should’ve seen it this morning,” I hear from behind me. Turning around Trevor smiles at me as he’s slipping on his shoes.

“I was gonna say.”

“That’s because Z is immune to doing dishes.”

“I am not!”

“You so are!’

“Who usually cooks?” I ask, interjecting their sibling-like argument.

“I do,” Jamie answers proudly.

“The way I’ve always done it is one person will cook, and the other does the dishes.”

“Hah!” Jamie argues.

“But that’s only if the meal is for both of you. If you make a meal for yourself then the dishes are also your responsibility.”

“Ayy!” Trevor calls out to spite Jamie who has fallen silent. His sheepish expression as he bites back a smile. I giggle softly at the exchange and shake my head before walking into the kitchen. “I’m going to the Terry’s, do I need to sleepover there, you two?” Jamie huffs a laugh, shaking his head. He’s somewhat stalling, as if he’s unsure of what to say. I seize the opportunity and without looking away from Jamie I yell back,

“We’ll keep you posted!” Jamie looks up surprised before blushing madly and turning back to the stove. “Do you need help with anything?” I ask as I stand beside him. Jamie glances at me over his left shoulder. He doesn’t fight the smile that appears on his face when I step closer. Jamie’s eyes get seemingly lost in my own and I blink smugly to bring him back down to earth.

“I’m working on searing this right now, but if you wanted to pour drinks?”

“I’m on it… Where are the cups?” Jamie laughs before nodding to a higher cabinet. I open the cabinet door, locating the drinking glasses on the middle shelf. The middle shelf that I am unsure of if I can reach unassisted. Looking back at Jamie, I see him sticking a thermometer into the food and decide not to bother him. I can totally do this.

I place my right hand on the cool countertop to brace myself, lifting up, stretching to reach the drinking glasses. I feel the smooth surface brush my fingertips, accidentally pushing the glass further back into the cabinet. “Fuck,” I swear under my breath, reaching with an extra stretch. The clink of the glasses against one another must have alerted Jamie as I feel his presence behind me. He gently places his left hand on my lower back and reaches above me to easily grab the glasses. He smells like crisp eucalyptus and lavender behind notes of beechwood and mint. I pull my lower lip in between my teeth to try and keep the thought from surfacing but, I could definitely get used to this. Jamie effortlessly grabs two glasses in one hand, offering them to me with a quaint smile. I guess looking at me allowed him to consciously process his actions as he immediately drops the hand that was on my back. His smile grows sheepish and I resist the urge to giggle at the blush creeping across his cheeks.

“Am I just pouring drinks or am I pouring drinks?” I ask, setting the glasses down to wash my hands. “Actually, are you even old enough to drink?” I playfully poke.

“I was twenty-one in April of this year, thank you!” Jamie teases back and I turn to him wide-eyed, trying to keep as straight of a face as I can.

“Oh my god, are you- you’re not… forty?!” 

��No, I am not forty. Are you?!”

“Yes!” Jamie looks at me in pretend sorrow before we both dissolve into laughter. Dropping my initial timidness, I physically relax my shoulders. When I open the refrigerator, the facade of cleanliness vanishes entirely. It is as messy and chaotic as I would expect the young boys to be. Take out boxes, abandoned vegetables, sculpins, and meat. Tucked in the door is a bottle of white wine with the cork and foil intact. Assuming that’s the drink Jamie selected for us, I grab the bottle and close the door behind me. 

“I’m guessing it’s the sancerre, right?” The sound of the bottle making contact with the counter alerts Jamie from the stove and he looks at me over his shoulder.  

“Yeah! Sorry, I don’t know why I didn’t just tell you what to grab.”

“All good. What are you working on over there?” The contents of the pan erupt with a sizzle as Jamie pokes his spatula into the pan.

“It’s a pan-seared butter chicken and roasted broccoli.” I crumple the gold foil in the palms of my hand before tossing it to the trashcan. I then turn back to Jamie, suppressing my astonishment.

“I have to admit I’m surprised you know how to make that.”

“Butter chicken?”

“No, the broccoli.” I say, keeping my face as straight as possible. Jamie and I lock eyes before laughing once more and returning to our tasks at hand. Our culinary symphony of sizzling poultry and the flowing of wine makes me smile, a blush creeps across my cheeks at the thought that comes next. I’m thinking of what it would be like to have a sort of domestic bliss with Jamie. A silent but content early morning where we would brew coffee and sit on the counters, laughing through chaste kisses. Eventually making dinner one night to introduce our friends over a meal, just sitting back and laughing at how Trevor would inevitably break his words per minute record while hosting. Dancing to Billie Eilish together, sliding in fuzzy socks over the cool tiles while trying to stay on task with chores. Jamie’s hand on my throat as he bends me over the counter to-

“What are you smiling about?” 

“Huh? What?” I say, blinking back into reality. 

“What were you smiling about?” Jamie asks, smugly.

“...I was thinking about how I’m gonna kill you later,” I declare just to wipe the smirk off Jamie’s face. 

“Uhhhh, Trevor?!” He yells into the empty hallway. 

“You really think he’s gonna save you?”

“Definitely not, but…”

“You just figured it was worth a try?”

“Yeah.”

“Mhm.” Jamie and I laugh through the quick back and forth before I hand him his glass of wine that I had just poured. He holds the cup out to me and I pause for a moment,

“Cheers to… new beginnings.”
