guys this is so backwards. the whole east (pens, red wings, caps, isles, flyers) are like trying to crawl away from the playoffs. like. the flyers lose to montreal, then chicago, then the isles, then buffalo AND THEY'RE STILL IN A PLAYOFF SPOT because the caps don't want it and the red wings don't want it. the pens haven't played like they actually want it. and the flyers sure as fuck haven't played like they want it.
all of these teams are running away from these spots. like full on sprinting. and the hockey gods just pick them up by the backs of their shirts and drop them right back into the spot and laugh at them and their suffering.
fate is gonna drag us in kicking and screaming. wild shit.
Fondly remembering that time in the early 2000s when my mother and I stumbled on a (illegal) Christian Movie website that edited out anything ‘not Christian’ out of all your faves by cutting out entire scenes and bleeping curse words, and that special moment when we saw ‘H*llboy’s’ runtime being under 20 minutes and absolutely lost it.
watching playoffs with hockey player simon and he just goes, “wrong move.” and he won’t even expound on it when you ask him what he means, not because he’s an ass but because he genuinely can’t explain it properly, his words failing him now. he’d just point at the previous play and grunt, his hand moving about like he doesn’t even know why it’s wrong, just that it is, and it’s then you get another glimpse of why he’s known as a goddamn genius.
