who or what is haunting the red wings @rustyskateblade - Tumblr Blog

i play my last hockey game of the season (playoffs) tonight and i would just like to say once again i DO hate summer and i DO wish i lived in an eternal winter and i AM perplexed as always by the passage of time etc. but wish me luck :-)

#unless several miracles happen we will not be playing in the championship game so we’re hoping for a solid 3rd place!#every time the season ends i’m overwhelmed with dread and despair what do i even do with myself #anyway i’ll be back to watching and liveblogging nhl games i guESS

#my favorite thing about him is that he is so uncool #i say this with fondness of course #we also don’t have time to unpack everything here but i can’t NOT mention #the astounding juxtaposition of the biker cross and the rainbow infinity sign and the dorky quote and angus young #in for a penny in for a pound i fuckin guess. bless him.#carter hart #philadelphia flyers

*hockey man voice* what you gotta know about this guy is he’s old school. he’s not one of your weak ass pansy twitter baby girls. if this guy sees a man on the ice, he’s gonna hack that dude’s balls off with his stick. if he sees a net, he’s gonna shoot first and ask questions later, so you better hope he’s turned towards the opponent’s goal. his dick is rock hard at all times. every morning he wakes up at 4am and eats a heaping bowl of rusty nails and broken glass. he’s had tetanus so many times the doctors say he IS tetanus. they call him lockjaw cause he’s gonna shut your mouth by punching you right in it, and then he’s gonna die of tetanus. not sure if people know this.

#hm yes ‘old school hockey’ my favorite generalized stack of nonsense words that put together mean nothing #except perhaps that the person saying it is not emotionally intelligent enough to recognize or care that the thing they are praising #is a lack of regard for the safety of fellow players or probably more accurately #a lack of concern for fellow players over yourself when neither the rules nor the officials of the game you are getting paid to play #are there to prioritize human safety over profitability #twitter user cshanny56 can’t you see they are all being used? they’re cogs in a money machine shanny!#and some of them are more brutal because they know they won’t face any meaningful consequences #and whether or not we the fans decide to praise this behavior (he’s a tank) or condemn it (he’s dangerous) is based on #whether or not we like the guy or the team he plays for #does he represent your idealized version of masculinity? did he perform it good enough for you? is he a man the way men are supposed to be?#‘old school hockey’ you mean like the rules? the rules from the time when we didn’t know what repeated concussions do to a person?#‘old school hockey’ ok fuck it everyone take off your helmets. stand-up goaltending only. let’s bring back the fucking rover #this has grown tiresome #shanny babe simply put the man is 38 years old #if he plays old school hockey it’s because he’s fucking old and that’s it #refusal to recognize and adapt to new safety standards (even if they are at best arbitrarily enforced) is not praiseworthy. the end.#op this post was funny i’m sorry for the tags on this one i have drank a lot. of otc cold medicine this evening

the trades this year are absolutely unconscionable

#there are trades and there are even Trades but then there are T R A D E S #vladdy gone stech gone giroux is in fucking florida??#where does it end where do we stop our meddling #some of these feel like an actual divine punishment will be the fallout #i cannot speak on this anymore i’m already curled up in a corner crying etc.

do you think haunting is requited?

In the right stories, the house and the haunting are the same. It's requited in the same way self-love is requited. Or perhaps more accurately, self-hate

What is a haunting but a memory? A trauma? The house saw something terrible and now every night it plays it out, again and again, trying to understand

#sorry for this but #detroit red wings #what is the lca but a continuation of an ever-growing malevolence in the form of a haunting

the wings puled ned. then pulled their backup and put ned BACK IN

shoulda gone with the haunted scarecrow smh

#i’m speechless that sounds so terrible it’s actually come back around again to being glorious #the beautiful game….#anon #i especially love the insult to greiss like #‘get ned outta there he’s so bad tonight’ -greiss happens- ‘CAN WE UNO REVERSE THIS ONE REF’
