THEN GIVE HIM BACK TO US

the thing about that kid is like okay sure i’ll play along with you and i’ll pretend every hit he’s ever laid is totally clean and any injuries were just freak incidents of bad luck because he’s so tall and he would never want to hurt anyone and his team is definitely not encouraging him to hurt anyone. okay? everything i’m about to say is taking all of that in consideration in good faith. if these are the results of good, clean hits, and they’re legal, then the nhl needs to change its rules about hits. i don’t care if someone is 6’7. if they can’t finish a hit without direct head contact they shouldn’t be laying them at all. “aw, that sucks, why does he have to play differently than anyone else” because everyone else seems capable of not knocking out multiple players in a season where they had the second lowest ice time in the league. sorry! players not getting traumatic head injuries is more important to me than making sure everyone can hit anyone they want however they want in the name of fairness, and it should be for the league too.

i don’t understand why this is controversial. last season when i said if an elbow to the head in the middle of the ice is a legal hit they need to change what a legal hit is i got so many people angry with me and it’s like, for what? for what? i am not talking about these types of players on a personal level, i am not insulting teams out of rivalries, i am not implying all fans of these players or teams are bad people. when a style of play has proven to be dangerous time and time and time and time and time again, then that style of play needs to be removed from the game. if next season sidney crosby decided his new move was laying out opponents by elbowing them in the head i would feel the exact same way. if you absolutely cannot play hockey without posing serious and long-term risk to the health of your opponents on the ice, you should not be playing hockey. the end. legal hits clean hits head down height difference i don’t care it doesn’t matter. even believing that it’s an accident every time. you should not be on that ice if you are incapable of playing safely.

every time a wild has a birthday i revamp this post

funniest character dynamic in the world to me is when you have one guy knows hes gay but doesnt realise hes in love with his best friend and another guy who knows hes in love with his best friend but does not know hes gay

pissing each other off as foreplay

"what's something you're not good at?" ".....golf?"

this reads like a “so you’ve discovered sports tumblr and yes the denizens are unhinged” thread

BROOO

someone did a podfic of Down by the Brazos. I'm banging pots and pans and shouting because everyone should go listen. just in time for having feelings about Jeff Carter hours. love, love, love a fic with such a strong sense of place.

we might be out of the playoffs but we do have confirmation our guys are spending the first days of their off season going doubles on scooters so who's really winning here

his fuckass mullet means so much to me
