[At this point, Raleigh isn't entirely sure if people keep hitting him on the back because he scored the winning goal or because five minutes after that, after the handshake line, but before the cup was presented to the team, he grabbed their assistant coach and kissed her hard-- on live television.
Worse, right in front of her father who is also the head coach and could kick him down to the minors but he's pretty sure he wouldn't even care because she kissed him back and he's floating on air.
Winning the cup helps a lot with that feeling, because it was his and Yance's dream since they were little kids, because when Yancy died, Raleigh thought his hockey career was over but then Mako came along and demanded better of him and he fell in love with her somewhere along the way.
He's just tipsy enough and so fucking happy that when someone passes a microphone into his hand, he takes it with a laugh and starts singing the first stupid, cheesy love song that pops into his head. Guess who that's for.]
imma let you pick the song
