The last week of November, and the Raiders have not wasted it.
Two games left in the regular scoring period, and they're sitting so far ahead on points that December is beginning to look almost relaxed.
Tonight is the reward for all of it. No curfew, no early morning ice time, no Anderson circling with a clipboard.
Just this.
The Royal York's rooftop bar is not the kind of place you describe as a bar.
Floor-to-ceiling panoramic glass wraps the entire top floor, the city spread out below like something lit deliberately for the occasion. Crystal pendants catch the light and scatter it in warm fragments across marble floors.
The waiting list for this room runs six months on a normal night.
Tonight it belongs to the Raiders.
Weston family property, made available with a single call.
