What about after a loss

What about after a loss

Burning cars perfectly acceptable in that scenario.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Does anyone know the Heimlich Maneuver?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I’m back

... maybe leave again for a few days?

I kid I kid

But no, seriously

But no, seriously

If you thought I thought a lifelong happiness could be bestowed upon me, you’re mistaken. I’ve been ready for this disaster from the day we were supposedly good. Still forever grateful to even be where we are. This is a new level… new dimension… of pain. But well equipped to withstand it. Well trained! Can only hope for the best.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I'm nervous for you

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

See? Going away for a day worked

 

[Hewson]

Never a doubt.

Congrats LN7! Enjoy the celebration.

I'm very glad the Oilers fan who lives in my building will no longer be screaming his head off.

 

[phanan]

Congrats LN7

 

[MrPryck2U]

Congrats, LN7! Enjoy! The NHL couldn't have asked for better. Game 7 on an early summer Monday night on ABC TV.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Please, I had seats on the glass and was interviewed:

 

[U2inUtah]

Go Hockey Club!

Really surreal seeing NHL in Utah.

Ok I'm watching this without sound - is this, like, cause of Trump lol?

 

[DaveC]

the anthem booing - yes.
the fights - no.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

How can you boo Wayne Gretzky

 

[DaveC]

How can you boo Wayne Gretzky

he's a mega-trumpist. fuck wayne gretzky. all the homies hate wayne gretzky.

go canada go

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

in that case




but from the looks of the american crowd - i don't think he was booed because he was MAGA

 

[DaveC]

Et tu, Wayne: Gretzky’s legacy in Canada takes hit over 4 Nations snub

The hockey hero may have torpedoed a once-bulletproof image in Canada by fraternizing with Donald Trump at the worst time imaginable

[DaveC]

expect the US anthem to be booed hard in edmonton tonight.

 

[DaveC]

i remember it seemed unfathomable in 2004-05 that anyone would ever come close to gretzky's career records.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Kash Patel was able to represent Ovi's home counter, which was nice.

 

[MrPryck2U]

2 things I thought I'd never see: Gretzky's goal scoring record broken and Gretzky as a "bad guy".

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Who else likes Hockey? I like Hockey!

I like the Toronto Maple Leafs, they are my favorite team!

I also like it when they win more than 4 playoff games. This does not happen very often, I am beginning to feel like they are trolling me.

 

[MrPryck2U]

I used to be a big NHL fan back in the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's. The Islanders are my team. For decades, the team was in disarray. They had this one superstar. He was becoming an Islander legend. He was my favorite player. He eventually became a free agent. The Islanders still had some uncertainty in regard to an arena. He signed with Toronto as a result. He was the reason I gave a shit about the Isles. I understood why he left. I was just sad that he was no longer on the team. After that, my interest in the league has waned.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Yeah, the Tavares signing was one of the rare times a legitimate "star player" chose to come to Toronto rather than sign somewhere else or even worse, leave. So while I feel the opposite about that situation I can very much understand the pain from other side. We routinely loose our stars in Toronto, especially with the Blue Jays and Raptors...

 

[MrPryck2U]

When JT left Long Island, it wasn't just the arena uncertainty that prompted his departure. He definitely dreamed of playing for the Leafs. And good for him. I have no ill will towards him. Shortly after he left, though, the Isles finally got a new and proper arena. Oh, what might have been. Lol!
