well every day we dont get scored on by steve spott's powerplay is a form of victory to me
#i'm still kinda bitter maybe#about the powerplay i mean#vgk lb#every couple weeks i come up with a new scapegoat for max getting trade#usually its gary bettman and his salary cap#but sometimes it is steve spott's smothering of our powerplay to death that killed what was left of that season#y'know. very normal thoughts and things

sorry for the incoming rant I know everyone's a drama queen during playoffs and I try to never take it too seriously, but I just don't see how anyone genuinely thinks trading mitch marner makes this team better. even more ridiculous would be letting him walk for nothing. he has a NMC. he was injured for the entire month of march. he's been deployed very differently in these playoffs than he ever has before. I am so sorry you're deeply offended by his outburst on the bench. I'm sorry he hasn't been scoring enough. I also would like him to turnover the puck less and never take a penalty again. that would be great. but you can't look at how this team has played in the playoffs year after year after year and tell me that the answer to all their problems is removing mitch marner from the ice. mitch marner is a massive part of why they even make the playoffs every year in the first place. say what you want about this game. it fucking sucked. but this team doesn't get better without mitch on it. it just factually doesn't. I don't know why they suck so much. it's not my job to know. but I hope brad treliving figures it out. and I hope he figures it out without forcing us to watch mitch marner win a stanley cup with another team.

the thing about players like Matt Rempe is that there are so many people who would rather argue that there's a place for him and other guys like him in the league instead of agree that it will always be better and more interesting when gifted players are able to play. and they can argue that other guys are just as bad--but so what if they are? let's be worried about preventing all of it instead of making excuses for why your guy should also be able to take guys out.
I will always be more interested in guys like Quinn Hughes or Cale Makar or Jake Guentzel or Cole Caufield being able to play without having to worry some dude with a propensity for head hits is going to take them out.
Personally, I'd like Sid to have the 108 games he missed between 2011-2012. I'd like him to have the playoff series instead of the concussion he got from a Jacob Trouba hit to the head. I'd like Paul Kariya to have finished his career on his terms and without huge gaps where games should be. I'd like Paul Kariya to have gone to the Olympics in Japan instead of taking a cross-check to the face from Gary Suter. I'd like Hörny to have made that magical playoff run with the Cats instead of having to retire because of a bad Daniel Sprong hit. guys get accidentally taken out by friendly fire all the time. they shouldn't also have to worry about a hit ending their career.
it's not even about "clean" vs. "dirty." if you've played 96 minutes, your injury count should not be that high. who cares if it's legal if it's giving dudes TBIs? genuinely. because that's what concussions are.
some day, every single one of these guys will retire. long or short careers. by choice or by force. with bodies at various levels of health. the fans and the league should care a lot more about those guys than they do.
the only thing Mark Lazerus got wrong in that article was that Jacob Trouba and Tom Wilson had learned their lesson about dangerous hits. I'll believe that when it hasn't happened in the last four months.
here's one study on the quality of life of 76 Swedish hockey players who retired due to concussion. that's the shit we should be caring about.
