This is the day in the life of the strangest position in sports. My name is Tier, and I'm in Raleigh to be the double emergency backup goalie for game one of the Better Conference finals. Carolina hurricanes versus the Montreal Canadians. 07:00 tonight on TNT. Hope to to see you there. Got a seat somewhere, but I might be up in the catwalk too.
