A huge celebration is planned for Igor, meeting some of the members of the team he played on when he was very, very young, pre-SMJHL days. At the start of the day, Igor wakes up and prepares to go about his day as normal, when he is interrupted and swiftly moved out to the city center. The major of his city awards him a medal for a great season. Igor spend the entire day celebrating, getting drunk (his first time in quite a long time), and the celebration turned out incredibly well. He got to meet up with Tolik, who told Igor of his (Igor's) great success in the season, and how he wished he would have been able to do that earlier. The day was a success, and at the end of it, life in his old city returned to normal. Tomorrow will be a new day for Igor.

Igor was recently hired to write the national anthem of Calgary. He has not been great at writing national anthems for teams, and finds that a weird concept. He attempts to try to write something for Calgary, one of his most hated teams as they are opposite Edmonton. Or at least he thinks. Igor is not sure how well it would turn out. Trying to remember how a national anthem is supposed to sound, he scribbles the following words on paper: "Calgary! C! A! L! G! A! R! Ah, screw it. We're bad! We suck! Trade our team to Edmonton! My loyalty is Edmonton! Screw Calgary! Edmonton is best! E! D! M! O! N! T! O! N!" He is unsure about the other team, and does not even remember its name. He scribbles the following on paper: "Hello. We are a team. We will win! We will win!". Igor was fired shortly thereafter for failing to represent the teams well. Another author was hired.

Calgary is a great team. I'm obviously lying, but the other team is also great. They're great for... surviving the system? Wait, how are you great for surviving? The last two teams standing? Oh come on, we could do this for any two teams and it will work for any season. Besides, since Calgary sucks, we're going to write about the other team of which I cannot remember the name. The other team has players. The players did stuff. The players scored more goals than the other players on the other team at the right time. This led the system to score them better than the other team, even if in actuality, they were worse. Oh, such nihilism! Nothing has meaning! The numbers on the screen mean nothing except they do because humans said they have meaning, but only for humans! A fruit fly would not care about those numbers! It would just fly around disrupting the other players. Oh, is that why the other team failed to survive? It's a hypothesis.
