...time expires on the second period, a scrum develops along the boards. Donato stares intently, wary of injury—or perhaps watching for penalties. Again, Murphy calls for coincidental minors. Donato waits at the bench to plead his case, but Murphy has no interest. After giving directions to MacDonald, Donato strides off the ice, glancing up at the Coca-Cola scoreboard and shaking his head at the unfavorable shot count...

Long after the event ended, as a scrum of giddy Obama staffers were all-but-forcibly exited from the bar of the Fort Des Moines Hotel, they struck up a spontaneous chorus of the campaign's newly debuted catchphrase: "Fired up!"
