"You hold this book, our story, in your hands ... now with considerably more pages on the left side than on the right. Like you, I've been there a thousand times. We both know, writer and reader, like the proverbial sand in the hourglass, the seconds on the shot clock, the story is over."

"... the Calgary Flames made it to the finals but lost the Cup to Tampa Bay, which may or may not be because of a bad call by the referees in the game where a goal was not counted but, in the instant replay, you could tell for sure it was over the line."
This book was published in 2005, but it's always so weird for me when there's references to events that I'm intimately familiar with.
