    Summary

    The NHL keeps a Central Registry of every team’s Emergency Backup Goaltender, or EBUG, an individual who must be prepared to play for either the home or visiting team should both goalies be taken out of commission. When the Registry was digitized in the mid 90’s a clerical error was made, and David Hollander has remained on file as Montreal’s EBUG. When Boston plays a preseason game in Montreal at the beginning of the 2017/2018 season, both of their goalies are taken out and David Hollander suddenly finds himself in the net in Boston black and yellow.

    Summary

    'The huge oak at the end of the street is gone when she finally turns onto the cul de sac where she grew up. She knew it would be. It came down in a storm about a month ago and it had been the major topic of discussion when her mother had called. 

    It had been reassuring, in a way. She could relax in the knowledge that the most exciting thing happening in Hawkins was the tree at the end of the street managing to fall in the exact right direction so that it didn’t take down any houses with it and how long it was taking to pick up the pieces. That was until her mother had somehow managed to segue from ‘they’re still cleaning up down at Millers' into ‘your father isn’t doing well and I think you should come home.’

    --

    Five years later, Nancy comes back.
