imagine your fave goalie following you around to save you whenever you’re gonna fuck up in life like i can just imagine almost giving a guy my number and lundqvist coming out of nowhere and blocking me and you just hear “sAVE BY LUNDQVIST”
You should write commercials for the NHL.
this is the nicest thing anyone has ever told me
#shows a man getting into his car after work and he looks over and Holtby’s riding shotgun #‘hey weren’t you supposed to pick up milk on your way home today’ #‘oh yeah thanks holtby’ #SAVE BY HOLTBY #a college student’s about to start a movie marathon when theres a knock on the door #they open the door and there’s rask #‘did you do your report that’s due at midnight’ #‘oh shit no thanks man’ #SAVE BY RASK #a woman’s talking to the PTA of her kid’s school and she’s about to volunteer #she looks over and there’s fleury #‘are you sure you want to volunteer for that?’ #‘actually no i really don’t thank you’ #SAVE BY FLEURY (via)
okay but don’t try to tell me that some muggle born kids in America or Canada (or Russia!!!!) won’t have AT LEAST one (1) person with a goalie as their patronus, like i’m calling bullshit if you think that a 6 foot something man decked out in protective gear squatting in front of you and batting dementors away like pucks during warmups isn’t something that has happened in these countries
for that matter what about d-men, what about fiesty players body slamming dementors away to whatever hellscape they came from isn’t totally gonna protect you or at least make the situation less scary
but it’s not just obscure, generic “goalies” or “d-men” no it’s legitimately real people probably based on the person’s favorite team or the team they have good memories with so please just imagine being in that situation and ur friend’s patronus is Marc-Andre Fleury and yours is Henrik Lundqvist and your sisters is Kris Letang but your neighbors is Jordie Benn and I am just
So I am already hearing people defending Kent because he was just playing the game and is a good player. Here’s the thing, they wouldn’t have been calling him a rat if he had just tried to score, he went in there and almost crashed into Snowy. If he had hit Snowy, it would have been a serious penalty. This was a dirty play.
I know people don’t like to think of their favorites as playing dirty, especially since he is considered a great player, but I am sure we can all think of great players and teams who played dirty and this may be part of how Aces play. They will do anything to win. (Which makes sense since Jack and Kent used to play and train together and we know how Jack was about winning, Jack had an opportunity to grow up since the overdose, I know there is some thought that Kent is still stuck in that place)
because thanking the goalie is my favourite thing. no matter if you lost or not, they did their best and they deserve all the thanks they get. it’s not their fault that the team lost, so give them thanks.
just moving along like everyone else
