"I WANT YOU TO BE A HOCKEY PLAYER." Herb yelled. "I AM A HOCKEY PLAYER! YOU WANT ME TO PLAY ON ONE LEG?? HUH?? I'LL PLAY ON ONE LEG!!!" McClanahan yelled back.
That was what was screamed by Rob and his coach, Herb Brooks, after getting a severe bruise from muscle tension on his upper thigh and being told to play anyway. Though he did play, the pain was murderous. He did have to use himself as bait, throwing himself into a Swedish player, which ended up helping team USA gain a point and win the Olympic game against Sweden.
When getting back to the locker room, he struggled to change, but refused to let anyone help him. He later exited the hockey stadium. He was incredibly tired and in pain. But, he decided to ignore it, going to the bar with his teammates. Though, that ended up being a bad idea. His leg was still injured, the bruise made it hard to do things since he didn't get the choice to ice it long. He limped when he walked, but tried to make the best of it.
"Havin fun over there, McClanahan?" Jack O'Callahan teased him, Rob frowned. "Fuck off, OC." He retorted before grabbing himself another drink from the bartender. His teammates chuckled.
