00:01Stop!
00:04Damn it. Seeing his face just reminds me of last night.
00:09You're even smaller than I expected, Val.
00:11I'll show you what I'm made of, stupid captain.
00:17Caden, Rice, what are you two fighting about?
00:20He provoked me.
00:23The Avalanche isn't a charity.
00:26Don't mistake my tolerance for a welcome.
00:28And don't think my arrival gives you the right to coach me.
00:30I'm here to win.
00:32Whether you like how I do things is your problem, not mine.
00:35If that's the case, we'll do it by the team's old rules.
00:40You two will go one-on-one.
00:42The winner gets to be the captain, okay?
00:46Understood.
00:47I'll be looking forward to that.
00:50Physical therapy is at the end of the hall.
00:52I hope you don't end up lying in there later.
00:57Shoot!
00:58Alright, play!
01:06Let's go, Caden!
01:20Damn it.
01:22Is this the unique scent of a top alpha?
01:24It makes me want to resist, yet I'm uncontrollably drawn to it.
01:28Beat the crap out of that slit who was seducing the captain at the press conference!
01:34Creeping on my profile and leaving a like at 3 AM?
01:37What's the matter?
01:39You can't beat me on the ice, so you decided to study me off it?
01:44Caden!
01:44Fight back!
01:45Smash!
01:46Riot's head in!
01:55He might have been a star on his old team, but in front of Reece, he's nothing.
01:58In front of Rice, he's just a useless pretty bitch.
02:01Too slow.
02:02Your skills don't even come close to matching your temper.
02:18Too slow.
02:19Pathetic's the weak.
02:21Is this what gives you the nerve to challenge me?
02:26Get up.
02:27If you want to lie down, go to physical therapy.
02:30Save it!
02:34Let go of me, or I'll break your nose!
02:37Let go of me right now.
02:39That intense clash just now has almost completely burned through my suppressors.
02:44That kind of impact resistance, Valerie.
02:46You are the leadest alpha I've ever met.
02:48I almost thought a fragile Omega managed to sneak onto my team.
02:53Fuck!
02:54Say one more word, and I wouldn't mind knocking out a few of your teeth!
02:59Bastard!
03:00I'm actually an Omega, constantly relying on suppressants to bury my instincts,
03:04and taking massive doses of alpha supplements just to pass as an alpha among the crowd.
03:10That's Captain to you now, Vale.
03:14Whenever you want to challenge me again, you're always welcome.
03:17Don't get too cocky, bastard!
03:20Next time, I'll crush you on this ice!
03:30Even with massive doses of alpha supplements, an Omega can never truly become an alpha.
03:35Damn it!
03:36That clash with rifts just now burned through a massive amount of the drugs in my system.
03:40I have to take another dose before the suppressors burn off completely.
03:44My Omega scent will leak out.
03:48I have to wash his scent off, fast.
03:51I refuse to become a plaything for alphas and betas, a mere tool for breathing.
03:55He shouldn't be affecting me this much, he shouldn't be affecting me this much.
04:02Fuck.
04:03This damn Omega biology.
04:05Captain Riss is amazing.
04:07If I could just hook up with Captain Riss, I'd gladly become his personal slave.
04:11I'll be looking forward to that.
04:12Stop thinking about his voice, but my body isn't listening to me at all.
04:22Oh, fuck.
04:24That feels so good.
04:27My mind is full of his powerful body right in front of me.
04:37RISS!
04:41First day, and I'm already joking off to him.
04:44Crazy, right?
04:45But I fucking love it.
04:51Get off the team already, you slut.
04:54The Avalanche doesn't need deadweight rookies.
04:56Kaden!
04:57Don't just stand there spacing out.
04:59Get your gear ready and keep practicing.
05:01Can't you even handle this little bit of pressure?
05:03Everyone back to your positions.
05:05Next set, passing and defensive drills.
05:07Get to your spots.
05:08Let's move.
05:18Rookie, your power and angle are way off.
05:21You rush the shot.
05:21Reset, everyone.
05:23Start over.
05:24Tighten up the defense.
05:25Push the pace on offense and cut down on the mistakes.
05:42Caden, what the hell are you doing?
05:44Rice!
05:45Show the kid how it's done!
05:48Last set, one-on-one breakaway drill.
05:50Rice on defense, Caden on offense.
05:52Go!
05:56Go!
06:00Go!
06:04Go!
06:14Take this seriously, Vail.
06:16I am taking it seriously.
06:18I just.
06:21No, you're absolutely not.
06:28No, you're absolutely not.
06:34What the hell was that out there?
06:36Are you even taking this practice seriously?
06:38I've been taking it seriously the whole time.
06:41My stamina just couldn't keep up.
06:44I still need to adjust to the team's pace.
06:46No, you haven't.
06:48Your current skating, your offensive and defensive rhythm,
06:51none of it meets the Avalanche's standards.
06:54Do you think you can just slack off in practice
06:57and secure a roster spot riding on your fame and media hype?
07:00I've been actively trying to adapt to the tactics
07:02and fit in with the team's play style.
07:05I didn't mean to be late this morning.
07:06My hotel is too far from the arena
07:09and I got stuck in heavy traffic.
07:11I'm already looking for a new place.
07:12I don't care about excuses.
07:14On the Avalanche, there are no excuses for being late
07:17and no room for slacking off.
07:20Every practice, every single movement
07:22has to be pushed to the absolute limit.
07:25The team paid a high price to sign you
07:27and gave you their full trust.
07:29But your performance right now
07:30is nowhere near worth that contract.
07:33Traffic isn't my fault.
07:34I'm already fixing it.
07:36I've been trying my best.
07:37Then move immediately.
07:38Either adjust your condition
07:40and show me a qualifying level of practice
07:42or quit.
07:44To be honest, Vale,
07:46so far,
07:46your performance has been nothing but a disappointment to me.
07:51Right now,
07:52you don't even deserve to stand on this ice.
07:58That's enough.
08:00Both of you.
08:01My office.
08:01Now.
08:03Now.
08:18All right,
08:18why the hell were you two arguing on the ice?
08:20Give it to me straight.
08:21Coach, the problem is him.
08:23His training attitude is slack,
08:25he lacks discipline,
08:26and he's been late multiple times.
08:28The playoffs are right around the corner,
08:29and the whole team is crunching time to build chemistry.
08:33I don't have the energy to accommodate a rookie
08:35who makes constant mistakes
08:37and lacks any professional drive.
08:39It's not fair to judge me like that.
08:41I really did get stuck in terrible traffic this morning.
08:44The commute distance is an objective fact.
08:46I've been looking for an apartment.
08:48I'm not slacking off on purpose.
08:50A professional eliminates obstacles
08:52instead of making excuses for himself.
08:56Weren't you traded by the Falcons
08:58exactly because you've always had discipline issues?
09:02You don't know anything about my situation.
09:04You have no right to arbitrarily judge my professional attitude.
09:07Your performance on the ice is the best proof.
09:10Your skating is soft.
09:12Your focus is poor.
09:13With your current abilities,
09:14you don't even qualify as a professional player.
09:18Stop writing me off based on your own subjective standards.
09:23Both of you, shut up!
09:27I don't have time for your personal drama.
09:30The playoff's coming up.
09:31Management is breathing down my neck.
09:33And you two are on the same offensive line.
09:35You need flawless chemistry and zero infighting.
09:38I followed the training requirements the whole time and done my job.
09:41Oh?
09:42Is screaming at your teammate in the middle of the ice part of your job too?
09:47Why have you been living in a hotel this whole time?
09:50We have team housing.
09:51You should know that.
09:52I know.
09:54The other rookies reported early,
09:55so the dorms were already full.
09:57I had to stay at a hotel further away for now while looking for an apartment.
10:02This is exactly what happens when there's a lack of communication.
10:06Long commutes drain your stamina and mess up your schedule.
10:11If your condition isn't stable, your practice naturally suffers.
10:15You need a place that's close, quiet, and suitable for recovery.
10:19Then find him a place.
10:21The team should have a solution.
10:23I already have.
10:24And right now, there's only one option.
10:27What option?
10:28Starting today, the two of you are living together.
10:32No, absolutely not.
10:34I refuse to live with him.
10:36The team must have other alternatives.
10:38What?
10:38Make me live with a top alpha?
10:47No, absolutely not.
10:48I refuse to live with him.
10:50The team must have other alternatives.
10:52There are no alternatives.
10:54The apartments are under renovation and the dorms are full.
10:57Either Caden keeps doing a two-hour commute and showing up late,
10:59or you two live together temporarily and work things out.
11:02This is the only way.
11:04This arrangement is completely unreasonable.
11:07I don't need to live with him to play on the same line.
11:10Yes, you do.
11:12Right now, you resent each other.
11:14You have zero chemistry and you can't communicate.
11:17Hockey is a team sport.
11:18An offensive duo needs to read each other's habits, rhythm, and positioning.
11:22If you can't even hold a normal conversation, you'll only drag the team down in the playoffs.
11:26Reese, your place is 10 minutes from the arena, and you have plenty of room.
11:32As the captain, you have to follow the team's arrangement and help him integrate quickly.
11:38The same goes for you.
11:40Reign in your emotions, fix your attitude, and stabilize your routine.
11:43I don't care what your personal relationship is, but on the ice, you must trust and cooperate unconditionally.
11:50I want both of you to drop your prejudices and give everything to the avarange.
11:54I'll follow the team's arrangement, but let me be clear.
11:57I won't tolerate verbal abuse or workplace bullying without retaliation.
12:01Fine, but if you slow down our practice progress or disrupt the team's rhythm, I won't cover for you.
12:06Now head back together.
12:08Work things out privately and adjust your routines.
12:11I don't want to see any more infighting.
12:13The avalanche doesn't have time to waste on personal drama.
12:16Out.
12:26Never thought I'd pick up a VIP today.
12:29Need a hand, kid?
12:30No, I'm good.
12:39The suppresses and supplements are hidden well.
12:42They shouldn't be discovered.
12:44I thought you'd find an excuse to back out and not show up.
12:48You scared me!
12:49Most guys on the team wouldn't be willing to be forced into living with a teammate.
12:54I follow the team's arrangement.
12:55The coach decided this is a necessary step for building chemistry, so I won't defy it.
13:00Is that the only reason?
13:04I don't know.
