I really liked most of this. I thought that switching between their POV's worked really well for the most part and I liked seeing Nate interact with Sid and everybody else quite a bit. Though I do agree with Nate's family, his sister was a bit of a typical sister with all the advice tropey thing we see so often in hockey fics, but, it was like one scene so I didn't mind much

My one real problem was the end- there were a few hints in the playoff run bits that Nate was nursing some angst, I figured it was his shitty year and feeling conflicted watching another team, even your boyfriend's, win the Stanley Cup. But then, literally paragraphs away from the end Nate goes and says he's not even sure they are actually, truly together? Like, what? That's a huge bomb to drop on us so quickly with no *real* resolution to it. In retrospect, oflights didn't hint at this very well at all because it came out of nowhere for me.
