A short, not-so-true story about Patrick Marleau.
[Editor’s note: After Ryan Lochte was caught in a lie at the Rio Olympics, we decided to research the biggest lie Patrick Marleau ever told. This is fake.]
Patrick Marleau wakes up and rolls over to look at his hotel room clock. It’s 2 a.m. in whatever time zone he’s in now, the red, glowing lights hurt his eyes as he tries to remember what woke him from his slumber.
Then he remembers and the memory hits him like a knife thrust into his chest. The lie.
