Calvin Stone will be sitting in Section 115, Row XX, at PNC Arena on Saturday, watching the Carolina Hurricanes game, cell phone in hand.
If “Shane Willis” or “Emile Hartman” shows up on his phone, he will quickly leave his seat, bolt down a nearby stairwell, rip off his clothes and start strapping on pads.
Just like that, there will be another goalie available — for either the Canes or the Tampa Bay Lighting, Carolina’s opponent Saturday. For Stone, his last chance of the season.
“And I think my heart rate would double,” Stone said Friday.
