Was trying to send you a message applauding your rant and how I was 💯💯💯 with ya on that and when it didn’t go through the first couple of times, I then realized you don’t receive messages 😅 Just wanted to say thank👏you👏for👏that 👏 Would’ve sent it here but I was at (-660) allowed 😅😅

I’m sorry!!!! I’m still super tumblr novice and don’t know exactly what I’m doing  😅

But thank you for the kind words!!! I had no where else to rant and just need to get it out lmao! Some people of influence should really think before they speak!

These comments are stupid..A rant

Firstly, I am and have always been a massive Jonathan Toews fan. I tend to think he is well spoken. This however is a stupid take and irresponsible. It’s not the worst opinion I’ve seen but it is ignorant. As someone who has studied immunology and virology, this whole pandemic has really lowered my tolerance for people who don’t want to understand / don’t care. He has traveled quite a bit during this pandemic. He has gone from Chicago to his cabin in Lake of the Woods (don’t know if there was a Winnipeg pit stop or if that is where he flew into) then he went back to Chicago, then was in Arizona ( while their cases were spiking up). Clearly I don’t know if he flew private (which isn’t great for the environment he cares so much about) or what precautions he took but it seems like an unnecessary risk to take during this pandemic. It really shows his privilege and his disregard for the current state of the world because god forbid he is bored in his apartment in Chicago (he did that zoom call at the end of March and made a comment about being stuck in his apartment to Josi and Pietroangelo.)

Maybe this comment wouldn’t bother me so much if all that traveling didn’t take place but it did. Here are a few points of contention I have with this. 

“does anyone really know and when people catch this thing”  This is a NOVEL Corona virus. This means it wasn't known to scientist beforehand. EVERYTHING they are learning about this virus is in real time. This particular strand was not studied before hand. So first we have to worry about identifying infected individuals and finding treatments. Then try and track the spread and stop it / slow it down, then sequence, then create vectors to introduce the virus into specimens of study, then create colonies of virus clones, then have the virus infect the model you are studying and see the results. That doesn't including any mutations that may occur during spread and infection. This virus will be studied well after the pandemic is said to be over so we can gather as much information as possible. Science isn't fast moving. You can’t have answers to all the questions right away. Things have to be proven over and over again before being accepted. 

 “I think the best you can do is get good rest, eat healthy, take care of your body, kind of do the little things that lower your chances” Sure eating healthy and getting good rest and taking care of your body increase your immune system. But if you are in a crowded room and someone is carrying the virus, its not going to not infect you because you ate a healthy dinner and slept good the previous night.... I might be reaching in my anger but it almost seems to imply that the people who have contracted the virus were not taking proper care of themselves...some might not have been but because you start your day with a green drink doesn’t mean this virus won’t infect you.  People need to do what the WHO says, stay distant, wear a mask, try to limit the number of people you are interacting with as much as possible, wash your hands, don’t touch your face...

”sitting around worrying about it is just going to drive you crazy” Yes a lot of people are struggling with their mental health and you shouldn’t just sit at home and drive yourself crazy.....but taking unnecessary trips is also not the smartest thing to do. He crossed 2 countries, potentially 2 provinces and 2 states. He could have limited that.....go walk around the block and get some air...

“Everyone has their own beliefs...”  Everyone does have their own beliefs, but people who think this is fake and just like the flu are wrong. People are dying and suffering. It is not something to be taken lightly just because you don’t think it can happen to you. I notice once the weather got nicer people started caring less......DO BETTER 

I have a lot of thoughts on this Pandemic. I don’t think it would have been so bad if it was taken more seriously in December when it was first beginning. I could go on for days about it. His comments really got to me. Hopefully everyone stays as safe as they can and we get through this pandemic with lots of lesson learned. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

The Remaining Core and Q

They all clearly love and respect each other so much! They clearly are not over him being fired. In the pictures Jonny even stans like Q with his hands on his hips. Its adorable. The comments they made for his arrival plus all the emotion they showed. Q was even a proud Dad during Kanes 1000 point ceremony. They are all probably thinking about what could be had Stan not fired Q. 

Still not over it 

[tumblingtumbletimes]

Jonny Hustle working hard to get the puck to Kane to make sure he score his hat trick and getting rewarded with the biggest smile is so on brand 

[tumblingtumbletimes]

Over protective Captain

At the end of the game when Kane went after Aho and then Toews is right there ready to go, you know Turbo (knowing how over protective Toews is) was probably just like Tazer calm down the games over and Jonny absolutely loses it on him lmaoooo I can imagine Toews yelling at him about how dare Aho touch Patrick!??!?! Turbo should knows that nobody touches Kane and gets away with it and to tell his boy Aho to get in line with that or else!!!!!!

Poor Teuvo getting caught in the crossfire lmao  

[tumblingtumbletimes]

So i just watched the exit interviews.....TOEWS MISSES Q. He only really smiled when it was brought up about him coaching again. In the beginning of the interview he takes subtle shots at management and basically admitted that he didn't take Colliton seriously. He is PISSED they aren’t in the playoff and he has every right to be!

I hope he come back next year and picks up where he left off. I hope they have a really good bounce back year. I hope Q does really well wherever he lands (im not ready for him to coach another team...I always hoped stan would get fired and he would come back) and I hope stan gets fired:)

03.07.2019 - Blackhawks vs Sabres | 1988 strategizing

requested by @namesintherafters!

[tumblingtumbletimes]

I’ve been thinking this since I saw this during the game. They ignore Colliton and talk amongst themselves ....I know I should move on but this makes me miss Q (I always do) and makes me think they might too. I think when it comes down to it, as much as they have been receptive and trying to make Collitons transition smooth, they don’t really trust that he knows what to do in high stakes situations. I mean if we are being honest he is 3 years older then Toews and Kane and they have accomplished so much more professionally then he has. They have been in plenty of big games and high pressure situations (Stanley Cup Playoffs, Finals and Olympics). When it comes down to it they are going to consult and trust each others opinions (and that of Duncs, Seabs and other vets) more then they will trust Colliton. I don’t know that Colliton will ever be able to shake that. Q was a seasoned coach when he started with the Blackhawks and the core was young, he developed them and went through all those high pressure situation with them. The trusted him. I guess we’ll see how it all plays out. Also while I’m ranting....I still can’t believe Kane and Toews are having career years and the Blackhawks aren’t cup contenders. It bothers me so much. Stan should have been fired a few years ago (I could spend hours and hours on this topic). This core is too proud and I love that about them. Wish circumstances were different.

Rant over  

[tumblingtumbletimes]

So much quality content came out of today's Blackhawks game. The fact that they won the game was unexpected as they usually play very poorly against the Caps. Mainly though, there was a TON of 1988 content and their heart eyes towards each other was not subtle. The little chest tap on the bench after kanes first goal, all the chats on the bench, all the goal cellys and how proud they were of each other. It was a really good game to watch. Fun and intense with some drama sprinkled in. It was a highlight of a very lackluster season. It’s so frustrating that 1988 and DeBrincat are all having amazing seasons and the Hawks are dead last in the NHL. 

[tumblingtumbletimes]

NHL  and Olympics

The 2010 Olympics (and Sidney Crosby weirdly enough) got me into hockey and into the Blackhawks. The players want to be apart of the Olympics and the fans want them there. These greedy owners are really doing the players and fans a disservice. You cant say that it’s the time difference when you are hosting preseason games in China next year. I know there are a variety of “issues” that the league is stating but I just think its hypocritical of them to say they want to grow the game and they care about their fans and players when this choice only goes completely against that and only really benefits them.

Coach Q doing a Q and A. He talk about Toews, Kane and Keith. Also some insight about the hawks season and the core. He is done talking at around 1:55:00 (from 1:37:00)
