"We need eleven guys on the field at any one time," Puck reminded him. "That means we need to get at least 17 more guys, but maybe less if we can get some people to play both ways - offense and defense."
He could tell that this was hitting Finn hard, which made him even more pissed at the guys who had ditched the team.
Well, Puck wasn't one of those guys. He was Finn's best friend and teammate, and he was gonna back him up every step of the way.
"I think we can do it, Finn," he said. "We might be able to pull a team together if you talk to some of the guys you think might come back, and the rest of us will see if we can round up more people from outside the team.
"Right, guys?" he asked Mike and Matt. At his fearsome glare, the other two boys replaced their doubting expressions with hopeful smiles and enthusiastic nods.
