#and then Eichel gets stripped of his C? absolutely insanity

[holidaywishes]

“They’re warriors.” Yeah, but they’re also idiots.

As someone who’s not an athlete, who can’t play any sport to save my life, I can see how me saying that means absolutely nothing. I know that being part of the team that wins the cup, being on the ice when they scored the winning goal, is the ultimate for these guys but… playing on broken bones, with near concussions, getting gashed and slashed, is insane. And incredibly irresponsible for their overall health. But these “warriors” are bred to believe they have to play because they have to win.

If I have any problem with the game, that’s it.
