the thing about that kid is like okay sure iāll play along with you and iāll pretend every hit heās ever laid is totally clean and any injuries were just freak incidents of bad luck because heās so tall and he would never want to hurt anyone and his team is definitely not encouraging him to hurt anyone. okay? everything iām about to say is taking all of that in consideration in good faith. if these are the results of good, clean hits, and theyāre legal, then the nhl needs to change its rules about hits. i donāt care if someone is 6ā7. if they canāt finish a hit without direct head contact they shouldnāt be laying them at all. āaw, that sucks, why does he have to play differently than anyone elseā because everyone else seems capable of not knocking out multiple players in a season where they had the second lowest ice time in the league. sorry! players not getting traumatic head injuries is more important to me than making sure everyone can hit anyone they want however they want in the name of fairness, and it should be for the league too.
i donāt understand why this is controversial. last season when i said if an elbow to the head in the middle of the ice is a legal hit they need to change what a legal hit is i got so many people angry with me and itās like, for what? for what? i am not talking about these types of players on a personal level, i am not insulting teams out of rivalries, i am not implying all fans of these players or teams are bad people. when a style of play has proven to be dangerous time and time and time and time and time again, then that style of play needs to be removed from the game. if next season sidney crosby decided his new move was laying out opponents by elbowing them in the head i would feel the exact same way. if you absolutely cannot play hockey without posing serious and long-term risk to the health of your opponents on the ice, you should not be playing hockey. the end. legal hits clean hits head down height difference i donāt care it doesnāt matter. even believing that itās an accident every time. you should not be on that ice if you are incapable of playing safely.

pasta a la erik karlsson
THE INGREDIENTS: pasta. alfredo. meat sauce. raw (red) onion. hot sauce (cholula, judging by the video). ketchup (heinz, i think?). a little salt and pepper.
THE RECIPE: boil pasta, chop the onion, serve with all sauces. eat and not die.
hi my name is emily and welcome to jackass
instead of liveblogging this process, i'm just going to add my thoughts to one big post to make it cleaner <3
6:48 pm: the pasta is boiling. i keep looking over at the Pile of Sauces and giggling. i have whispered "what the fuck" to myself a few times now. i'm cooking the whole box, because we're all having spaghetti tonight, but i'm the only one brave enough to try... This
6:54 pm: erik did not mention this as part of the meal but i poured myself a glass of rose. the onion has been chopped. i tried to get them chunky to match the video but that's like too much man, at least have your onions DICED why are they in CHUNKS ERIK
7:05 pm: writing these time stamps i'm realizing i'm a slow cooker because i keep getting distracted by my playlist (rn it's rebel rebel by david bowie). i am starting the alfredo sauce and it's sinking in that i'm about to actually. eat this. like a few bites, there's no way i'm eating this whole plate (this is NOT foreshadowing)
7:07 pm: i almost panicked because i didn't think i had enough milk for the alfredo but surprise, i had EXACTLY enough. this is a good omen.
7:15 pm: everything is done, i am just waiting for the meat sauce to warm up. i'm still whispering "what the fuck to myself".
7:21 pm: it's time. to assemble.
i grabbed a small plate, but i'm realizing. maybe i should have grabbed less. this is revolting. and i'm not even done adding things
added and mixed. i'm laughing. erik eats this. before every game? it overwhelmingly smells like cholula which is fine but oh my god. oh my god? no. no. this poor man's stomach. oh my god
7:30 pm: i've put it off. it's time to take a bite
IT'S JUST. IT'S JUST A LOT OKAY. THIS IS A LOT OF FLAVOR AND NONE OF IT REALLY GOES TOGETHER? it's like way too acidic. biting into a red onion is a terrible surprise. it's too saucy and it doesn't feel Good in my stomach, like i have taken two bites and it's settled so heavily already. okay no three bites. it's... it's just upsetting. this is an upsetting experience. what the fuck is wrong with you erik karlsson. you eat this and then you go and play professional hockey?
FOUR BITES IN AND IT DOES NOT GET BETTER. why does he do this to himself like can we send someone to check on him fr i am genuinely concerned about this man like i made this meal for the bit but he willingly does this to himself?????? 82 games a season???????
IN CONCLUSION: i managed five (5) bites. they were all bad. don't make this. someone arrest erik karlsson immediately i am so serious.

Okay geno looks unenthused and half asleep like he rolled out of bed to take this photo. But. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Excuse me while i fangirl over skates
Fucking! Look! At! These! Im in love they're so cool.
Having stared at geno's skates for way too long, i can see how these are still a very similar base structure but with a feds white n*ke overlay and its designed so well. Like its still geno's, but with a nice homage.
Like the basic pieces and lines of it are almost the same as his old skates (and very different from feds og white skates) but the changes are so pretty.
IM So CURIOUS IF HES ACTUALLY GONNA WEAR THESE NEXT SEASON
Also the weird little detail of the random copper bolt? Was that a feds thing? Its great. WHY COULDNT GENO HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE I SCULPTED HIS DAMN SKATES. Thanks 'im regular' geno.
Edit: i forgot to include this part:
Are sid's stuck on the bench cause skate problem days behind us???

I am starting to think that your tastes in men are just pathetic/scraggly men that (try to) fight, someone followed/surrounded by tragedy and Flower(yes, he deserves his own category).
best ting a man can be is
pathetic
hairy
fighty
insane
