#brad marchand 1000th game

[patrice-bergerons]

Not to get lost in the narratives and such, but I think it's a wild thing to take a young player with fire in his belly who will be the first to admit that he was never even the best player in his junior teams made it to the NHL it's because he clawed his way thru via any means necessary, and to tell him, I want you to look at this example of all things beautiful about hockey, and do everything exactly as he does it.

And how all of that, instead of breeding resentment can turn into devotion. I'm thinking of faith and how Bergy will be the first to talk about all the ways in which Marchy made his game better, of two people who pushed and balanced and completed each other, who worked so well because they were so different in so many ways, two people who would suck at being each other. And what happens when, you say now you take over. Now you lead, on your own.

And I guess I'm also thinking of that 22 year old with a chip on his shoulder who was told: you will never be the best player on ice as long as he is on the ice, so I want you to be second best.

Are you tired of reading into the bad side of sports culture or seeing the news be nothing but controversy after controversy. Well, this is your checkpoint! Welcome to Good News in Sports! Where we talk about the lighthearted side of sports and athletes, accomplishments and maybe a bit of comedic things that occur in the sport. Just... anything that can make you forget about the messed up culture and the injuries and the dirty hits and your team losing (unless one of these headlines involves your team losing... in that case, sorry about that). Let's get started! Ice Hockey

*Record* attendance in the PWHL, with over 19,825 fans in attendance at Montreal vs Toronto (which has been given the nickname "Battle on Bay Street").

High scoring game alert: The Minnesota Wild beat the Vancouver Canucks 10-7. Yes, you read that correctly. Ten. To. Seven. A total of 17 goals. As well as three different hattricks (One from J.T Miller, another from Kaprizov and another from Joel Eriksson Ek), an event that hasn't occurred since 1992. Jaromir Jagr's No.68 is officially going to the rafters, as the Pittsburgh Penguins retired his number Sunday. ...might I add that was immediately followed by an f-bomb from the mullet man himself ON LIVE TV. Brad Marchand's 1000th game celebration was... certainly interesting to say the least. More emotional than positive (and probably mostly for hawks fans than the rest of the league) but fuck it I'm including it anyway: Hawks fans, I hope you're ready to cry this Sunday. A lot. Well... atleast the refs are honest. Same ref behind the "everyone has a ten minute misconduct" comment too.

Baseball MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL IS BACK BAYBEE, as spring training started Thursday between the Dodgers and Padres (Final score: 14-1 Dodgers. ...yes really).

Basketball Okay. The NBA All-Star was... kind of a let down. But you know what *wasn't* a let down? The NBA vs WNBA Three point challenge between Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu! While Stephen ultimately emerged victorious, Sabrina's skills have drawn a lot of praise from many basketball fans.

Brittney Griner's no.42 jersey has been retired by Baylor! Griner's jersey is the seventh to be retired by Baylor.

Motorsports Athletes? Admitting they messed up? Seems unlikely but that's exactly what NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Shane van Gisbergen did after Sunday's Xfinity race.

Natalie Decker became the first woman since 2013 to lead an Xfinity Series race! Soccer/Association Football

MLS season officially starting back up as their season started Wednesday with Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake (Final score: 2-0 Miami)

obsessed with this art for brad marchand's 1000th game. why does he have the spooky underlighting. he looks like a pulp horror protagonist

[confused--castiel]

Seen a lot of various hockey related things with this dialogue and thought I’d offer my perspective xD

It’s ok Marchy, Bergy will always love you no matter how fucking annoying you are 😂

[rask-me-anything40]

So the Bruins are having an elite season:

Torey Krug notched his 200th assist with the franchise becoming the only American Born player to ever do so

Tuukka Rask becomes the winningest goalie in franchise history passing Tiny Thompson

Tuukka Rask takes first place on game played list for franchise goaltenders passing Tiny Thompson

Patrice Bergeron plays his 1000th game as a Bruin, only the 5th in franchise history to do so.

David Krejci passed Terry O’Reilly to take 8th place on the franchise all time assists list

and again to take 9th place on the franchise all time points list

Patrice Bergeron passes Ray Bourque to take 3rd place on most franchise game winning goals list

Brad Marchand passes Kenny Hodge for 7th place on most franchise game winning goals list

Brad Marchand ties Rick Middleton for first place on most short-handed goals in franchise history

Brad Marchand congratulating Chris Rooney on his 1000th game as a ref in the NHL was the most pure and adorable thing I have ever seen and no I'm not okay
