broken
January 5, 2024
Connie was skating down the ice with the puck against her stick and looked up right as her jaw rammed right into the Devils player’s shoulder, Connie fell over onto the ice, her hand immediately going up and holding her jaw as she quickly got back up and hurried to skate off the ice.
Connie knew something was wrong, there was to much pain and to much pain that fast.
Connie hurried off the ice right to the trainers letting them guide her off the ice and down the tunnel to the medical rooms to start looking at her injury.
She spaced out during most of the time watching the game on the tv as the trainers checked on her until she heard someone walk in and looked over seeing Nick walking in with a grin directed at her.
Connie furrowed her brows not talking as the trainers told her not to, she saw him get into the fight on the ice and he seemed to be rushing off the ice after.
“We protect our own.” Nick simply explained with a grin as he walked over to her gently ruffling her hair like he always does, he knew he only hurt her finger and a broken finger was worth getting back for Connie.
Nick smiled seeing the thankful look she gave him as she couldn’t say it, “Is it bad?” Nick felt nauseated seeing the obvious pain she was in and it felt like one of his own kids was hurt.
Connie nodded yes as it was painful and she was very uncomfortable too.
Nick’s face soften and gently squeezed her shoulder with his good hand, “What can I do?” Nick softly asked her.
Connie made a call gesture and pointed to her self and Nick thought for a moment before asking, “Call your mom?”
Connie nodded slightly, she knew her parents more so her mom would be worried seeing her going off the ice and not coming back and she couldn’t call her right now.
“I will do that.” Nick softly promised her before the trainee called for him to head to the other room so they can splint his finger.
Once the trainers finished examining her with the game still going she got to change out of their uniform and into comfortable clothes and watched the rest of the game.
She turned back to the TV and barely a minute went by before Alex got into a fight against Nate.
Connie watched his fight intently as he fought for a good few minutes before the referees spilt them apart.
The trainers allowed her to have her phone once the game was over and they waited for the team to finish up and everything gets packed up before they all head to the airport to head back to Chicago.
Connie looked up as the door opened quickly and Alex rushed in with his suit on but messily and his tie hanging from his pocket, he let out a small sigh seeing her but still rushed right over to her.
“How are you? Are you okay?” Alex quickly rushed out scanning her face worriedly seeing her face wrapped up in a bandage specifically holding her jaw in place.
Connie reached out gently grabbing his hand and squeezed his hand softly stopping his from continuing and made him look at her eyes and she gave him a small nod reassuring him that she is okay.
“Is it your jaw?” Alex softly asked letting out small sigh of relief that she told him she was okay, Connie nodded once to his question, “Do they know if it’s broken yet?” Alex hesitantly asked.
Connie tried to clenched her eyes shut but hissed at the pain it caused in her jaw making her look at Alex with teary eyes answering his question.
“Oh Bubbles.” Alex softly cooed bringing her into a gentle hug being mindful of her jaw and gently rubbed her back.
Connie never really liked hugs growing up much and they always just felt awkward but she always endured them thinking it was just her being awkward.
But hugging Alex, like an actually hug not on the ice after a goal, it was comforting and something she surprising really enjoyed.
Alex just held her softly rubbing her back letting her be comforted for a few minutes before gently and reluctantly pulling back.
Connie gave him another thankful look and he just smiled.
“Come on we got to get to the bus.” Alex softly told her and backed up letting her stand up and he saw her suitcase and back pack next to the medical bed she was sitting in and grabbed them giving her stern look stopping her from grabbing them.
Alex carried their bags as they walked through the arena and out to the bus where most of the team were already sitting in.
Alex knew Connie really didn’t want to talk right now he just guided her down the bus and gave everyone a stern glance to leave her alone and brought her to the row where Kevin and Lukas sat across from.
Connie slid into the bench first and Alex sat down after.
Kevin and Lukas gave her concerned glances and Alex grimaced shaking his head motioning that her injury was not good.
Connie stared out the bus window feeling her pain medication slowly starting to finally kick in a little but not much.
The bus pulled up to the blackhawks plane at the airport and the team all slowly started getting off the bus and helping the staff load up the converter belt with all the luggage.
Alex set Connie and his bags on the belt and guided her to the plane not wanting her to try to help.
Connie sat down on the window seat again and Alex sat on the seat next to her.
Connie was having a hard time keeping her eyes shut and Alex noticed and put the arm rest up between them and gestured for her to lay her head down on his chest.
Connie took a second looking like she was debating it before scooting closer and resting her head on his chest being careful not to touch her jaw againt him and his arm wrapped around her shoulder.
Connie was out within minutes.
“Is it bad?” Lukas whispered once Kevin and Lukas sat across from Alex and Connie giving a sleeping Connie concerned glances.
“They think it’s broken.” Alex whispered quietly back.
Kevin grimaced still looking worried at his best friend. Lukas gasped softly looking at her sadly.
Connie was fast asleep on Alex not moving at all the entire flight home.

Karaoke ⎥ Chicago Blackhawks
As per usual, I went with the players that I know. I have no idea what their music preferences are, this is purely based off vibes. This what I think the Chicago Blackhawk's go-to karaoke songs are.
masterlist
Connor Bedard - he knows every word to 'We Didn't Start the Fire' by Billy Joel for some reason that he never tells anybody. He is dared to sing it one day because it's an older song, so he does it perfectly and surprises every person in the room
Colin Blackwell - 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift. 100%
Jason Dickinson - a stunning rendition of 'Vienna' by Billy Joel
Ryan Donato - keeps it classic with 'Don't Stop Believin'' by Journey. It's very mid, but not bad
MacKenzie Entwistle - a horribly off-key version of 'Livin' on a Prayer' by Bon Jovi
Nick Foligno - claims he is too old for karaoke but sticks with the classics too and goes with either 'Hotel California' by Eagles or 'Under Pressure' by Queen
Taylor Hall - there's about a 55% chance he sings something Nickleback and the other 45% is 'Love Like This' by BlackHawk for some sentimental reason
Seth Jones - something Katy Perry, I feel like. No reason, just a feeling. More than likely it's 'Firework'
Kevin Korchinski - either something by Zach Bryan or a 'The Last Saskatchewan Pirate' by Captain Tractor duet with Reese Johnson (please tell me somebody will get it)
Philipp Kurashev - adorably accented version of 'Call Me Maybe' by Carly Rae Jepsen. Everybody loves it
Petr Mrazek - first an enthusiastic attempt at 'Dream On' by Aerosmith, then plays it safe with 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond, met with applause and sing-along
Connor Murphy - also claims he's too old for karaoke, then proceeds to whip the most excellent cover of 'It's My Life' by Bon Jovi out of his back pocket and absolutely floors everybody
Alex Vlasic - 'Shut Up and Dance' by Walk the Moon or 'Stacy's Mom' by Fountains of Wayne. Or some other 2000's hit

My favorite thing in the nhl is when a star player has the most random chosen nemesis/rival on a team. Every Oilers Hawks game, Connor McDavid gets into like 3 shoving matches with Jason Dickinson.

I WANNA HEAR FROM THIS DUDE. Give him an entire hour of anonymity, let's hear it all
⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
TW: skate blade injury, medical, emergency, blood, bruise
Ok this is an EXCELLENT article about neck guards and cut-resistant turtleneck undershirts.
please read to the end. Dr Hayley Wickenheiser provides incredible insight about freak accidents and the medical emergency process that shifts the article a couple of times.
$wall: After Adam Johnson's death, will 'stubborn' NHL players embrace neck-protective gear?
A little more than a year ago, T.J. Oshie read a story about a young boy who was cut in the neck by a skate blade during a youth hockey game. Almost instinctively, Oshie reached for his phone and contacted his partners at Warroad, the hockey apparel company he helped found six years ago. What started as a way to create undershirts that weren’t itchy and irritating had developed into a safety-conscious business that helped develop new, cut-resistant fabrics to protect players’ wrists and Achilles tendons.
Now, Oshie wanted turtlenecks to protect the most dangerously exposed part of a hockey player’s body — their neck, and the carotid artery within. Sure enough, Warroad came up with a sleek turtleneck with its “tilo” design, which includes cut-resistant panels built into the fabric.
It worked.
And Oshie still didn’t wear them.
In fact, he doesn’t believe a single player in the NHL wears anything of the sort. None of the bulky neck guards that are mandatory in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and Ontario Hockey League (but not the Western Hockey League). None of the Kevlar-style fabric turtlenecks that are becoming more readily available all the time, from companies such as Warroad, AYCANE, and Cut-Tex Pro.
Players have their reasons. Oshie said NHL rinks are “hotter” than ever, with guys sweating through several undershirts a game, and the thought of wearing a turtleneck in such a warm environment is unappealing. Players are superstitious, wearing the same shoulder pads they used in juniors, using the same brand of skate they’ve worn since they were kids, using the same tape job and knob style they’ve used forever. And, well, turtlenecks and neck guards don’t look cool. Heck, only Wayne Gretzky and Tomas Plekanec ever really pulled off the look.
“It’s not a cool look having neck guards on,” Oshie said. “For whatever reason, it’s just not something that’s sleek and looks great.”
But then Oshie learned about Adam Johnson’s death on Saturday night. Johnson, a former player for the Pittsburgh Penguins, was cut in the neck by a skate blade during a game in England and died, shaking the hockey community to its core. Players and coaches from around the league expressed their heartbreak over the tragedy. But Oshie did more than that.
He ordered five Tilo turtlenecks from his company. One for him and four for some of his teammates to try. They’ll arrive on Monday. And he’s going to try playing in them. Because Johnson’s death did more than devastate the hockey world. It opened the hockey world’s eyes to an inherent — and possibly preventable — life-threatening risk that comes with playing the game.
At any level.
“I just wish these things never had to be made, and injuries like this would never happen, because it’s so sad,” Oshie said on his way to the Capitals’ game against the Sharks on Sunday evening. “It hits me pretty hard, just thinking about my kids. I could take one to the neck tonight. And for them to not have a father — it’s just so sad and it makes me think twice about protecting myself and my neck out there. Whether it looks cool or not.”
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Jason Dickinson didn’t know what had happened to Boston’s Jakub Lauko last Tuesday at the United Center, he only knew that it looked gruesome. One of Dickinson’s Chicago teammates asked him what had happened and Dickinson speculated that Lauko had hit his head on the boards and “split open.”
After the game, Lauko’s bloodied face was still a topic of conversation in the Blackhawks dressing room. Dickinson heard someone say that it was a skate blade that caught Lauko in the area of his left eye.
“A skate?” Dickinson said. “How did that happen?”
“It was your skate!” a teammate told him.
“Are you kidding me?” Dickinson responded. “When?”
It had happened when Dickinson was falling into the boards after a push from Boston’s John Beecher. Lauko was already down on all fours, and Dickinson’s skate caught him in the face. As mangled as his face was in the aftermath, Lauko was extraordinarily lucky the skate missed his eye. Dickinson never even felt the contact.
Dickinson, after learning it was his skate, immediately checked in with the team’s medical staff to find out if Lauko was OK, and was indescribably relieved to find out he was. Dickinson’s heart went out to Johnson’s family on Sunday, but he also spared a thought for the player whose skate caught Johnson in the neck.
“I feel for (him) as well,” Dickinson said. “He’s on the other end of that and he’s going to have some stuff to work through, because that’s heavy stuff. I guarantee he feels guilty right now, even though it’s a freak accident.”
That’s a word you hear a lot when it comes to skate-cut injuries, whether it’s Pat Maroon’s skate slicing through Evander Kane’s wrist last season or Matt Cooke’s skate tearing Erik Karlsson’s Achilles tendon 10 years ago. A “freak” accident. A “freak” play.
But is it? After all, this is a game played by people moving at exceptional speeds with exceptional force wearing exceptionally dangerous weapons on their feet. If anything, it’s shocking that skate cuts don’t happen more often.
Hayley Wickenheiser, a Team Canada legend, assistant general manager for the Toronto Maple Leafs and emergency physician, bristled at the depiction of such incidents as “freak” occurrences.
“I don’t think this is a freak thing, I think it happens quite a lot,” she said. “It’s just the injuries are superficial, or the players are lucky. This isn’t something that doesn’t happen; it happens a lot in hockey. Sticks come up, skates come up, and the neck is very susceptible. So whatever we can do to make (neck protection) more mainstream and just part of the equipment, the better for the future of the game. It just makes sense to me.”
Indeed, while terrifying incidents like the cuts suffered by Johnson and former Sabres goaltender Clint Malarchuk are thankfully very rare, it seems like every player has a story to tell of a close call, a near miss, a Lauko-style bit of “luck.” Dickinson took a skate on the collarbone during a game against Vegas last season and “immediately panicked,” wondering if a major artery was nicked.
“I remember the ref looked at me right away and said, ‘That was real close, Dickie,’” Dickinson said. “I’m like,’ Yeah, you’re telling me. I can f—ing feel it.”
Oshie was volunteering at a camp at his alma mater, North Dakota, some years ago, when he was rough-housing with the kids. They were dog-piling him on the ice, falling all over each other, laughing hysterically.
“Then one kid came in full speed and slid into the pile feet-first, and he actually hit me square in the face with his skate blade,” Oshie said. “So I had to get stitches above and below my eye. I still have a scar in my eyebrow that goes into my forehead. Luckily, it was flush with my face so it didn’t cut my eye.”
They can’t all be “freak” incidents, right?
“It’s unfortunate,” Blackhawks coach and 21-year NHL veteran Luke Richardson said. “It’s one of the fastest games on Earth, with razor blades on the bottom of your feet. It’s very scary and things happen quick. … I don’t know if there’s any way to guarantee that there’s going to be protection. Even if you do wear something. You can’t be in a tin can top to bottom out there for protection. It’s the risk that the pro players take.”
Richardson cited Oshie’s company as a valuable resource for players, and suggested that with time, neck protection will become normalized in the NHL. When he entered the league in 1987, there were still players playing without helmets. It took years after that for visors to become the norm to protect players’ eyes. Richardson hoped that with neck protection becoming more and more common — and mandatory — in lower leagues, it’s only a matter of time before it “graduates up” to the NHL.
Arizona center Nick Bjugstad, who played with Johnson in Pittsburgh and called him “just a kind human,” said he couldn’t bring himself to watch the video, so he doesn’t know exactly how the cut happened. But he thinks the answer is pretty obvious.
“There are times that your feet go out from under you and you don’t have control,” Bjugstad said. “As far as the precaution going forward, I’m sure it’ll be discussed in the league. It’s even more important on the youth side of things, with the lack of athletic trainers and whatnot. I hope we can figure something out as a hockey community that protects us from something so tragic happening.”
Scott Sandelin, who coached Johnson at Minnesota-Duluth, said making neck protection and Kevlar-style undergear mandatory has come up in conversations around the NCAA championship committee, with longtime Mercyhurst coach Rick Gotkin leading the charge.
“He was like, ‘Why do we wait?’” Sandelin recalled. “Why do we wait for something like this to happen before you mandate something?”
Dickinson said the NHL provided a video at the beginning of the season highlighting the benefits of cut-resistant sleeves to protect the wrists and Achilles tendons, and those have become quite popular around the league. But neck protection remains ignored by everyone other than goaltenders.
Johnson’s death surely opened some eyes around the hockey world to the risk of skate cuts to the neck, and it appeared that several Providence Bruins, in the AHL, wore neck guards on Sunday. That’s a start.
But why does it have to be a years-long process? Why can’t it happen sooner? Why do players have to be grandfathered in to avoid any mandates whenever a new equipment mandate is instituted?
“Because they’re stubborn,” said one NHL equipment manager, who was granted anonymity so he could speak freely. “It’s a monkey-see, monkey-do league. All it would take is one guy to wear it. Then two days to get used to it.”
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Wickenheiser has a similarly simple solution to getting players past all their superstitions and habits, to get them to embrace what seems like such an obvious solution to a terrifying problem.
“You just put one on,” she said. “I wore one for 20 years with the national team, it didn’t interfere with anything I did. … It’s just like anything else, when one player does it, everyone sees it and it becomes normal. I can’t even remember hockey without visors now, and I grew up watching the world of hockey without visors. I can’t even imagine not playing with a visor with how fast the game is.”
As an emergency physician and all-time hockey great, Wickenheiser is perhaps uniquely qualified to weigh in on the subject. She knows how well-stocked NHL arenas are in terms of medical care. She also knows it’s not nearly enough if, God forbid, a situation similar to what happened to Johnson happens in an NHL game. The thought has frequently crossed her mind that if there were an incident at a practice, she might be the most qualified person in the rink that day. She runs the scenarios in her mind constantly, and “it truly horrifies me.”
“You know how little time and resources you have to save a life in that moment,” she said. “The deck is entirely stacked against you as a physician. In the NHL buildings, there would be qualified physicians, there’s (emergency medical services) in the building. You have every resource at your fingertips. But what you don’t have is time. You need a surgeon and you need blood and you need time, and there’s none of those things in that moment. It’s just such a devastating injury. It freaks me out, for sure.”
It’s something players rarely think about. Can’t think about, really. Richardson said it was similar to a football player coming back from a knee injury — if you’re constantly wondering if the surgically repaired knee will hold up, you’ll never be playing at full strength and full speed. Hockey players have to feel invincible out there in order to take the risks they take on seemingly every shift.
But Oshie said there’s an instinctive, almost unthinking awareness of what your skates are doing at all times. Because the danger is always in the back of your mind, if not the front.
“I think you’re always very conscious of where your skates are when you’re playing,” he said. “I know I am. If someone’s on the ground in front of you, even if you get pushed from behind, you always get your feet out of the way, if that makes sense. It might look terrible if someone is about to fall on someone and goes knees-first, but that’s what you do instead of trying to land on your feet. I just assume that everyone else has that same mentality. But those very freak things happen. You get pushed from behind and you stay on one foot and the other foot comes up. I took a skate blade to my visor in our last preseason game, just this year. So I was a couple inches away from being cut somewhere.”
The game only gets more dangerous with each passing year. Players get bigger, stronger, faster. Skate blades are removable now, and they stay razor-sharp throughout the game, rather than dulling with each shift. Ignoring the risks won’t make them go away.
The introduction of the slap shot led to the goalie mask. Whippier sticks and more dangerous shooters made visors inevitable. Ten or 20 years from now, it’s easy to envision players regularly wearing full face shields. The Karlsson and Kane incidents, among others, helped spur the creation and popularization of wrist and ankle sleeves.
Neck protection will undoubtedly follow. It’s just a matter of when.
And if Johnson’s tragic and shocking death doesn’t prove to be enough to open eyes and open minds, then what will?
“There are options out there, and it’s not a bad idea at all,” Dickinson said. “It’s about awareness. And events like (Saturday) night, events like Kane’s, like Karlsson’s — those really make guys think and get them worried. It’s definitely something I’d consider now. I mean, who cares what it looks like? Looking lame and living is a lot better than the opposite.”

reunions
September 13, 2024
Connie let out a long sigh as she put away her final suitcase, she had just got back in to Chicago a few hours ago and Nick had picked her up from the airport so she could see his kids as they missed her a lot over the off season so she had lunch with them for a bit before their dropped her off at her apartment.
Connie’s apartment was furnished already as she kept her apartment from the year before so all she needed to unpack was her suitcases she brought with her.
She unpacked right when she got back home as she knew if she did not she would not un pack for a while.
She ran a hand through her freshly cut hair as she had really grown to love it being short since she first chopped it off a few months ago during her jaw recovery and knows she will continue to keep chopping it short, as it is so much easier to deal with especially with hockey.
She perked up hearing a knock on her front door and knew exactly who was at the door, she quickly got off her couch and walked over opening her door and beamed seeing Alex.
“Lex!” Connie happily exclaimed in a rare show of emotions and jumped onto her boyfriend hugging him tightly.
“Hi sweet girl.” Alex beamed holding her tightly, her legs wrapped around his waist and he carried her inside her apartment and shut the door behind them.
“I missed you.” Connie whispered against his neck nuzzling her face closer to him, She hadn’t seen Alex since a few weeks ago when he came out to see her in Vancouver and meet her family as her boyfriend.
“I missed you too.” Alex whispered back kissing the top of her head gently and rubbing her back softly.
Connie unwrapped her legs from his chest and stood up looking up at him with her arms still around his neck, her fingers played with the nape of his hair, “Hi.” Connie whispered softly to her boyfriend.
“Hi.” Alex softly whispered back looking at her fondly, he cupped her cheek softly making her eagerly lean into his touch.
“You’re staying tonight?” Connie asked hopefully wanting to sleep in the same bed as Alex again and being able to cuddled the entire night.
“Of course.” Alex easily agreed, having expecting to stay over and brought a small bag that he left in his car.
“Good.” Connie beamed and leaned up nudging her nose to his and pressing her lips finally to his.
Alex let out a happy and content sigh as he pressed his lips desperately to hers and his hand moved to cup the back of her head holding her to him.
Alex easily picked her up making her squeal with laughter and hold onto his tightly.
“We have a lot of cuddles to catch on my sweet girl.” Alex softly told her kissing the side of her head and carried her to her bedroom.
Connie just hummed happily laying her head on his shoulder as he easily carried her.
Alex gently tossed her into her bed and quickly plopped down next to her.
Connie quickly cuddled up to her boyfriend burying her self in his side. Alex brought his hand up and gently ran his fingers through her hair and scratched her scalp making her sigh satisfied.
“Tell me something.” Connie softly mumbled as she played with his free hand.
Alex smiled at her words and pressed a soft kissed the top of her head, he has learned that Connie is not the biggest fan of silence and likes something filling the back round nose or she starts getting in her head to much. Connie also is not a big talker and rarely says many words at once but Alex can ramble pretty well, Connie really enjoys just listening to Alex talk.
“Well, today i-“ Alex started telling her something from earlier that day as she just continued to relax more and more in his arms.
Alex spoke for a good while because he looked over and the sun was down and it was not pitch black, he looked back down at Connie and saw her eyes fluttering trying to stay open.
“My sweet girl.” Alex softly spoke as he rubbed her back to keep her eyes from shutting and staying shut, “I’m gonna go get my bag from the car and you can get ready to sleep?” Alex told her.
Connie grumbled unhappy about having to get up from her warm spot underneath his arm but knew he was right to go get ready as she knows she will regret it in the morning if she doesn’t.
She made another unhappy sound but nodded reluctantly and sat up sadly not touching Alex any more and yawning rubbing her eyes.
“I’ll be right back.” Alex promised and pressed a quick kiss to the her forehead and walked out the room and through her apartment to the front door.
Connie groaned but got out of bed and grabbed a pair of athletic shorts and a shirt that she has been wearing a lot to bed that she had stole from Alex.
She headed to the bathroom and did her night time routine quickly and rubbed her eyes walking out of her bathroom when she was done and she heard her front door open back up so she knew Alex was back.
She grabbed her phone as Alex walked back into her room and as he passed her he kissed the top of her head before heading into the bathroom to get ready for bed.
Connie plugged her phone in setting it in her nightstand before pulling her blankets back and flopping into bed and waiting for Alex to come back.
Alex finally came out do the bathroom in just a pair of basketball shorts and he tossed his bag on a chair in her room before coming over to her bed and seeing her falling asleep, he smiled fondly and gently got into her bed and Connie immediately scooted closer to him.
“Love you.” Connie mumbled quickly falling asleep as she cuddled into Alex’s side.
“I love you too.” Alex softly mumbled back kissing the top of her head and closed his eyes too.
