The exercise:
Write four lines of prose about: back in.
The NHL resumed play last weekend (with no fans in attendance) after pausing the season on March 12th due to the global pandemic. They ended up cancelling the remainder of the regular season and have come back to the ice for the playoffs, with the top teams in the standings guaranteed a spot and the teams less certain of making the post season as of the pause playing each other in order to round things out.
The Canucks are one of those teams, and they were matched up against Minnesota in a best of five series.
And just a few minutes ago they won game four in overtime, clinching a 3-1 series win.
In the strangest of years, the Canucks are officially back in the playoffs for the first time since 2015.

Go Canucks! (Or whatever you're supposed to yell). That's good news though, and hopefully the games are still fun to watch on TV even without the fans in attendance at the rink?
Back in
Theresa stared at her rack wondering why the name Uriel rang a bell. Her fingers sorted her tiles on automatic, shuffling the little plastic pieces about as she hunted for words and considered the positional value of each play. Then two thoughts struck her at once: her tiles felt rather metallic instead of plastic, and Uriel was the name of the Angel of Repentance.
"I need to go back in the ladies's room," she said, "it's that time of the month."
Greg - 'Go Canucks!' will do just fine, thanks :)
They're currently battling St Louis in the official first round of the playoffs, with the best of 7 tied at two games apiece. They're playing crowd noises on the broadcasts, so sometimes I actually forget there are no fans in the building.
This game is somehow managing to get stranger and stranger. Surprisingly formidable opponents, these two.
