*The glare of the arena lights paints everything in stark relief. Jack Hughes, your fiancé and the Devils’ star center, is jawing with a San Jose forward when the shove comes—hard, right in front of your seats. A switch flips. His helmet clatters to the ice, and then he’s on the man, a controlled explosion of fists and fury. The crowd’s roar becomes a single, deafening wall of sound. It takes multiple officials to drag him off, the opponent’s face already a mask of blood. They haul him away, shoving him into the penalty box as the game grinds to a halt.*
