something about how trades really do affect players. how it's not just us as fans being crazy or reading too much into it. it's real and it's painful. erik johnson has lacked the hutzpah he once had ever since leaving colorado, as if he could bear landeskog's injury but the second he was forced to leave it all came crashing down. sidney crosby has lost much of the joy he once carried and it's because he had the human, golden embodiment of that joy in jake guentzel torn away from him when he needed it most. dylan larkin shed genuine, heartfelt, distraught tears when tyler bertuzzi was traded away. the penguins still welcome marc-andre fleury to pittsburgh every time he plays there because, no matter where he is, that is his home. pk subban could never return to the same player he was after he was taken from price. trevor zegras is seemingly incomplete without drysdale at his side. brandon duhaime is lacking his connor dewar. bowen byram no longer has his alex newhook to lean on and laugh with. travis koneckny and nolan patrick may never even get the chance to play another game with or against one another. and who could imagine kuznetsov as anyone but a capital? do you really think of pavelski in the green of the stars or do you see him proud in teal beside thornton and marleau? did shea weber ever really stop being a nashville predator? and what about beauvillier, horvat, compher, dumolin, burakovsky, kadri, yamamoto, hornqvist, eberle, o'rielly, barrie, jost, gaudreau, karlsson, carter and richards, martin, and so many others? even wayne gretzky himself went to three teams post trade, searching for that spark he had in edmonton after they made him leave. jagr had eight after pittsburgh. you are not crazy for grieving, in some small way, a player you lost. and they aren't crazy for feeling distraught either. these teams are family. and family is everything, even if it gets ripped apart so easily.

froze
Tumblr media
April 14, 2024
Willa just froze as the cheers got louder in the arena, the other team all jumped onto the ice. Celebrating, just like she did two days ago with her team and now her team was left in heartbreaking tears instead.
Willa slowly knelt down on the ice pushing her helmet up and rubbing her eyes, she ran a hand down her face in disbelief.
Willa titled her head back to keep the tears from falling and took a deep breath. She stood up and looked around the ice and saw Ryan kneeling on the ice and his shoulders shaking with what she knows is sobs, she quickly skated over and nodded at a concerned Jack that she got this.
Willa gently kneeled down in front of Ryan laying a hand on his back, “Ry baby.” Willa leaned down to him gently whispering and she could feel her heart breaking some more hearing his sobs.
“I know, come on.” Willa softly cooed and gently helped her boyfriend stand up and immediately he was wrapping his arms around her and burying his head in her chest.
Willa looked up and her eyes connected with Gabe’s tearful eyes and she held out one of her arms and he was immediately skating over and was collapsing into his girlfriend’s arms and leaning against his boyfriend.
Willa let out a shaky sigh and titled her head back to stop herself from crying as her boys needed her now and she had to be strong for them.
Willa gently shifted around and wrapped her arms around their shoulders and walked with them off the ice and down the tunnel and into the locker room.
The three all sat down at their stalls, that luckily all were next to each other.
Gabe curled up into a little ball on his stall resting his head on Willa’s lap and was staring off in space. Ryan leaned his head on Willa’s shoulder and was sniffling and wiping his eyes constantly.
Willa kept her eyes on the celling trying to push through her emotions for her boys.
The team all listened to the coach talk before they were allowed to shower and go back to the hotel.
Willa stood up with both her boys and walked with them to their showers, once Willa saw them both go into a shower she headed to the farthest one and quickly got under the warm water and let her tears run down her face.
She put her hand over her mouth trying to desperately quiet her sobs not wanting anyone to hear her.
Willa was devastated, it’s been her dream since she could remember to win a national championship playing for Boston College.
She remembered when she went to her first ever Boston college hockey game and went with her grandfather and she remembers the feeling she had for the first time watching the game, she knew she was going to play there one day.
Willa just really wanted to bring home the natty for her grandfather who had pasted, it was like the last thing she could do in honor of him.
The only good thing is that she knows she is coming back next year, so is Gabe and Ryan. They haven’t announced it yet but they have already discussed it with their teams, all three of them will be playing one more season with Boston College.
Willa quickly dried herself off throwing on her suit back on and did a simple braid and left the shower room. She headed back into the locker room and saw mostly everyone was done with the showers.
She walked to Gabe and Ryan and linked her arms with their and walked quietly to the bus. They walked into the bus and all squished into one row together. Ryan had his head hiding in Willa’s neck and Gabe rested his head on her chest closing his eyes.
She ran her hair through both of her boys hair as the rest of the team got onto the bus.
Willa held both of them as the bus drove them back to their hotel, She gently stood up pulling them up with her and they slowly walked back to Willa’s room.
She opened her hotel door and they all shuffled in, the boys went to their bags and started slowly changing into sweatpants. Will slipped her suit off putting on pair of babe’s sweatpants and ryan’s t-shirt and looked back at her sad boys who finished getting dressed.
Willa walked over and gently grabbed both of their hands and pulled them into her bed. Gabe quickly curled up into a little ball under the blanket resting his head on her side and Ryan burrowed into her neck and let out a sigh as he closed his eyes.
“I’m so proud of you both.” Willa softly spoke kissing both of their heads.
Gabe sniffled and mumbled back, “I love you both.”
Ryan eyes peeked up at Willa, sad eyes and distraught face, “I love you both so much.” Ryan tearfully mumbled to his two loves. The only thing that made today better was that he knew he had one more season with Gabe and Willa and at least he didn’t have to worry about the thought of one of them leaving already.
“I love you both.” Willa softly and comfortingly spoke to her boys and gave them both another kiss of the tops of their head, she pulled the blanket up more around Ryan’s shoulders.
Willa softly hummed and ran her fingers gently through Ryan’s wet hair and slowly massaged his scalp feeling him starting to relax against her. Her other hand was gently rubbing up and down on Gabe’s back and she could hear his breathing slowly doing down and knew he fell fast asleep.
Willa softly hummed and pressed another soft kiss to Ryan’s forehead. Ryan hummed back pressed a kiss to her neck and nudged his nose softly against her neck.
Willa continued to slowly run her hands through Ryan’s hair gently as she felt him continuing to relax more and more and soon he fell asleep.

the spirit is willing (I really should just chill out for half a second before making purchasing decisions) but the flesh (god I love sharks so much) is so (the Sharknado remaster was only released on blu-ray in germany! america only got the dvd release, which is criminal, but the internet exists and so you can just buy things from germany now, and-) so weak

i love you animal symbolism
#like obviously i’m the dog motif guy but literally any animal symbolism is sooooo#like mq animal symbolism >>>#sharks and mice and wolves and butterflies#what that says about you — not just what you get but what you wanted to get#i’m a shark and i’m going to take you down. he smells blood in the water he’s gonna kill my pig and there’s nothing i can do#because i’m soft i’m a kid again im a mouse and im loyal and humble and a real team player! and that’s what will be my downfall#but it’s also what’s going to save me#why would a mouse choose foam over a delicious cookie? i don’t know. why would he? why would i?#i just got a little upset when you said i wasn’t a lion. you’re nothing without me#lions hunt in packs they’re sthe leaders. but i’m telling you that you dont get a pack you dont get someone to lean on and you will always#be alone.#then succession animal symbolism is like: youre a scorpion and i’m a snake and we are going to die at each others hands#it’s already written. we know the ending#im a dog and i’m mean and sharp and vicious#i’m a dog and i’m loyal and trusting#i’m a dog and i need to be kicked and i beg you to kick me because it’s all i know#you come for me with love?#lock me in a cage and feed me dog food (or chocolate cake but who knows) and i’ll never eat again#send me away until everyone knows their place#beat me with a slipper in gstaad for ordering lobster because it’s rude to order the most expensive thing on the menu when you’re not payin#because dogs don’t get a sliver platter they get a bowl of dog food in a cold wire cage#they get the scraps and they thank you for it#so you come for me with love?#you come in here guns ablazing to find they’ve turned to fucking sausages and you come for me with love?#jeez that’s a lot of tags#mythic quest#mq#succession#succession hbo

love to see the sharks doing pride night correctly - by still wearing the pride jerseys during warmups and simply outing the one homophobe on the team 👌
he has a right to not wear a pride jersey, and we have the right to know that he’s a piece of shit

You know when I first bought my skates, they did not have men's skates in my size (very small) and I used to be so embarrassed about wearing women's figure skates but then I realized two things: 1) it makes a very specific kind of jock absolutely crazed when they have to look me and figure out what's going on and that is INCREDIBLY funny, and 2) it literally does not matter, thus far the conclusions I've watched people draw have been wildly more entertaining than any gender I could ever claim. Post sponsored by me getting off the ice tonight and some beer leaguer just staring at me with wide bright eyes. I think my gender isn't trans man so much as it is "whatever stresses out hockey players the most." It's actually a pretty good life I live, I think.

Listened to the Leon Gawanke Locked on Sharks episode...takeaways:
JD has gotten SO much better at interviewing, I'm so proud of him truly. it's taken almost three years but I can finally listen to him interview a prospect without having a rage blackout even once
do we...finally have a smart prospect...I swear to god almost every single one of these interviews in the past 2-3 years I've listened to has been no thoughts head empty when JD asks our prospects to comment on play (and again a lot of that might be bc JD is just some guy with a podcast and no journalism training (to my knowledge) who would ask insanely leading questions), but Leon was so thoughtful about reviewing the Cuda's season so far and what the problems were but also what is good with the team...do we finally have a prospect who is able to put his observations into words
deeply funny to me when JD asks a prospect if they're superstitious and they're like oh no not at all, I just have to do everything in the exact same order at the exact same time or I will explode into a ball of stardust. but I'm normal :)
he's enjoying the Bay Area!! He loves the 49ers!! He likes to explore!! We have at least one prospect who is enjoying the Bay Area!!! We have at least one prospect who is happy to be here!! you love to see it.
Rooting for you, guy 😭 also just went through all my screenshots of the Barracuda's lines in the past two months and he's been in the line up way more consistently than I thought...good sign I think. I hope he gets a shot at the NHL this year.
