a post-viewing lb of the feds retirement ceremony. we love 91 forever ♥️🤍
not occurring in real time because i forgot i put my phone two feet away and was shaking too bad during the whole thing to reliably type and didn’t want to be a screenager during the ceremony like darren mccarty. i also think i have already blocked out like 75% of what happened so. idk if i should ask for comment on what i forgot.
took myself on a five mile run that was almost perfectly timed because i thought that would run the freak out of me. did not work.
oh nice!!! mickey and ken hosting!! oh thank god ken started i love mickey but he cannot follow a script he’s doing his best
lmaoooo sawchuck’s grandkid is like sure yeah i’m there
HI KOZZIEEEE oh i’m gonna cry. like i knew i was but oh
the team has on little sergei shirts!!! cuties!!!!
STEVIE CAME OUT CLUTCHING HIS LITTLE PAPERS OH MAN
“why not ninety” ken i will say this so lovingly. are you stupid. did we not all read the i wanna be like stevie story
THE CORVETTTEEE like i knew they were bringing him out in the corvette but can you imagine if that was your job. to just be like the ice crew person who drives all the cars on the ice and to drive sergei federov.
OH HE’S WEARING A SPARKLY TIE!!!! green bracelet…
they’re never going to get him to sit down he can’t believe everyone loves him. sergei please we love you just believe us
am i going to lose it during stevie’s speech no i am so strong and brave. he’s so canadian lmaooo
I AM NOT STRONG AND BRAVE STEVIE
i don’t know what he said i assume it’s something normal like we’re so happy to have you back but sure yeah look him directly in the eyes and speak russian to him. make him giggle and approve your pronunciation which i’m sure is awful
also stevie does have chronic “and lidstrom was there” mentionitis which always cracks me up. like yeah he was but we did all see you. you have two hands?
“first of all he was a good person” you love not only his hockey but him mmmhmmmm. i think i have heard this story.
stevie “i could go on all night” like yes he does love sergei did you know? did you know stevie was there for the start and end of his career?
he’s so nervous god bless. poor man.
WHAT DID SERGEI SAYYYYY TO HIMMM LIPREADERS OF THE WORLD I NEED YOU
YES HAHA YES I KNEW THEY’D GET OVIIII and that’s nice they could get igor even if he couldn’t be there
“don’t be mean to me i’m a hockey player not a public speaker” -> proceeds to give a better speech than stevie stfuuuuu
this bitch is FUNNY. in a FOREIGN LANGUAGE.
it was the rink with a roof ✍️✍️✍️
at THIRTEEN? moving to a foreign city at 13. like we always knew but it’s still so crazy to hear
you know these guys. i’m telling you you do. igor vladdy slava kozzie
running to hug & kiss kozzie i did lose it. if you flip that 91 upside down you carry him on your back. kozzie’s up there forever always too
maybe i should have stayed
H E L P HELP HELP HELP in his defense I don’t think you can say “the illitches sucked” when you are mid-i love the illitches because you never thought you’d get to come back and rumor was like it’s over marian’s dead body.
“i’m so fast still” bunny hopping to go kiss his wife and kids 😭😭
to my teammates… you’re laughing and i’m crying. like you are being funny but i am crying thinking how you did your family and then the russian five first and everyone who took a chance on you and then you did your team and this was such a well organized speech in terms of progression and building??
girl cannot resist turning to the side for a clap. he loves to start a clap. at any time he WILL clap.
to the best captain i ever had okay listen maybe i AM stupid but I did briefly think maybe stevie wouldn’t get his own section like he did the russian five. he said his teammates. he wouldn’t need to—yes of course he did
I HAVE BLACKED OUT EVERYTHING HE SAID. BUT I REMEMBER THAT THEY HUGGED.
of course he ends it by saying he loves this city and the fans of course he does i need to go lay down. we’ve always loved you of course we did
kitty on the shot where he was like i love this city oh. i always forget he’s a hometown boy oh he loves him so much.
GO WINGS
how else could you end it. perfect.
sergei with the white skates… sergei with the white skates!!!
KEATS IS BACK!!! GOD ARE YOU KIDDING ME CAN I HAVE A SECOND TO BREATHE KEATS AND OZZY IMMEDIATELY BEING FREAKS I LOVE MY MIDDLE-AGED MAN YAOI
everybody like damn sergei how did you not cry. they all know how he is.
also sergei giving innumerable quotes like wow I can’t believe everyone doesn’t hate me SERGEI PLEASEEEEE
i understand the hall of fame but the rafters… no like he understand exactly. hhof class of whatever but you in the rafters.
NO YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO ME THAT ANDREI SVECHNIKOV CAME UP TO DO THE PUCK DROP FROM CAROLINA HE LOVES THE RED WINGS WE HAD EVGENY THAT’S MY BABY SVECH OH I THOUGHT I WAS FINALLY DONE ME 🤝 SERGEI 🤝 CRYING
