"Have you ever seen [Barkov] fall? Has he ever fallen? He's never fallen his entire career!"
"Uh—It's, uh, funny and I don't know if he'll care that I say this, but he's got those—he doesn't like the blades that you can snap in and out quickly. So when he needs to get his skates done in the middle of a game, he's gotta fully take off his skates, get 'em sharpened and retie them up—which is like one of the few guys in the league, I think, that still do that. So sometimes he'll have absolutely no edge, and he'll just find a way to, like, compensate and get through it—which is incredible."
"That kind-of sucks though 'cuz that's like a bad dream to have. You're waiting on something else, like—even if the trainers just like snapped it back in or whatever, like maybe they had something different they can put in there. He probably wouldn't even know!"
"[...] this guy's particular. He knows his game and he's goddamn good at it! And we don't say a word so!"
"'Barky, we need you out there for the face off! There's two seconds left!'"
"That's what I mean! He'll compensate and he'll still look better than all of us! Like if any of us had no edge like that, we'd be screwed, right? And he goes out there and does the Barky things that he does. We're all grateful for it! He's been getting me paid for 10 years now, so."

THE LITTLE SMILE HE MAKES AFTER HE GOES "hes been getting me paid for 10 years now so 😃"
i feel like work has been making me way more hostile than usual and i cant tell if its bc my lungs are in shit shape, or because of how fuckin hot its getting, or because im just genuinely becoming irritated by retail
Anyone else find themselves dismissing their current elevated pain levels purely because they remember what it felt like to have even worse pain and because it's not THAT high it's not actually THAT bad?
Like. Using my pain chart I know I'm bouncing between a 7 and an 8 today. But because I remember how bad it feels to be at a 9 or 10, my brain keeps telling me to suck it up and that I'm over exaggerating or whatever.
