Examples that show goalies are the best, part eighteen
1: A huge save deserves a huge celebration. (Mite Goalie)
2: Alex Lyon (34) and Sergei Bobrovsky (72) hugs.
3: Jack Campbell looking really confused about how that puck sliced through his glove.
4: You can mess with Vítek Vaněček, if you don’t mind getting the bitch slap.
5: (thanks to lemondropbois for showing me this lol) Hunter Miska does not appreciate the rink renovations.
6: Not technically ice hockey but this save was CRAZY! Ice 3 is awesome. (Eamon McAdam)
7: Kai Dawson(?) has combined two great sports. Hockey and motor racing!
8: Elvis Merzļikins raising the new generational goalie talent.
9: Jumping during a goalie hug is permitted, but not encouraged. (Jeremy Swayman (1) and Jakub Lauko (94))
10: Everyone loves a good goalie hug. This is a reminder to hug your goalies! (Goalies are: Malcolm Subban (47) and Craig Anderson (41))

I saw some art of a high school AU with Karlach in a hockey uniform and it’s opened my fucking eyes. Karlach would fucking LOVE ice hockey.
It’s about teamwork and camaraderie and strategy and working together for a common goal and also just INCREDIBLY VIOLENT.
Like, it’s that perfect Venn diagram between team sports and like, organized fighting. Cause I feel like yes she’d like to watch football and everything but it wouldn’t resonate the same way, and like WWE is too orchestrated and not actually fighting, and MMA it feels like something she’d rather do than watch.
But HOCKEY. Getting to watch a team sport, one without constant breaks for rule checking, and then sometimes a guy gets so mad he just starts wailing on another guy and it turns into a frenzy until they break it up and then have a time out to make sure everyone’s ok, then continue with the sport? And having strategy about when it’s worth it to start throwing hands?
It feels just perfect for her. It resonates. Someone put the Bruins on for my girl and crack open a cold one with her that seems like a great night for her she deserves it.
Also my hot take is that the person who would ACTUALLY love WWE? Astarion. A bunch of incredibly strong people throwing each other around with the theatrics of an ongoing story? He’d eat that shit up. But like as a guilty pleasure. If you ever find out you’re a dead man he can’t have that information getting out.

I was thanking my friend for pushing me to finally get that US visa appointment yesterday because the process of doing that also opened all these avenues to my past that had been firewalled before, including to hockey, and he said I've been pushing you for ages I think you did it now because you were finally ready.
And it is like he is so right. But I also wish the instigating incident that finally made me face the trauma of that move wasn’t Bergy's retirement you know?

Another category of GIFs I make are GIFs of the celebratory, post-win hugs between the two goalies for the 🖤Boston Bruins💛 (the team I support), Linus Ullmark (#35) and Jeremy Swayman (#1). Sometimes they look like this…
Sometimes they’re more like this…
But usually they’re like this…
Oh, and for a few games, Swayman was out with an injury so Nick Foligno (“Uncle Nick”) filled in…
And that, Your Honor, is why the Bruins are the cutest team. 🖤🐻💛

they should let me commentate leafs games instead of the random assortment of old men they have. no i’ve never done sports commentary. no i don’t know the stats for any person on the leafs roster. but rest assured i will be such a homer, which is the most important thing a colour commentator can be
