Johnny Gaudreau: A Tribute

Johnny Gaudreau was born in Salem, New Jersey.

He was drafted by the Calgary Flames 104th overall in the 4th round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He played hockey for Boston College for 3 seasons, from 2011-2014. He won the National Chapionship title in 2011, and the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as college hockey's best player in 2014.

Johnny spent 9 seasons with the Calgary Flames and 2 with the Columbus Blue Jackets. During his first full season with Calgary, he was selected to go to the 2015 All Star Game and was a Calder Memorial Trophy, and won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy as the NHL's most gentlemanly player in 2017. He was a 7-time NHL All Star through his career. Johnny was known as "Johnny Hockey" and had incredible skill and success on the ice, despite his size. He played for the Columbus Blue Jackets for the past two seasons and quickly became a favourite.

This is a tribute to our beloved player, may Johnny and Matthew forever rest in peace.

For Johnny...

from me

I am forever going to be sad over losing Johnny, but I am also angry. Two amazing people would still be here if that driver simply decided not to get behind the wheel yesterday night. I wasn't a hockey fan when he was still playing for the Flames, but he was one of four players I knew. He always made me smile when he was shown on camera, and his memory will live on forever in Calgary. His positivity and kindness, his electric game. Johnny was so much more than a hockey player. He was a husband, a father. A son, a brother, a friend, a teammate. My heart and prayers go to his wife and children, parents, sisters, and family. And please, please, take time to grieve. Take time to remember Johnny and what he meant to you, and to the game. Rest in peace, Johnny Hockey, fly high.

I believe that it is a testament to a person's character that when tragedy strikes, there are hundreds or thousands of people mourning for them, regardless of whether they knew each other or not. That is what Johnny has done for the hockey community. His infectious excitement and passion has moved people in ways he probably never imagined. We may never hear Johnny Hockey echo through an arena in celebration of a goal, but we will hear it in celebration of his life, of his game. We will keep his legacy alive. Forever.

Here's to #13

from @chukys-mouthguard

Johnny was never mentioned on my blog prior to this news. And while I know I don’t need to explain or justify my sudden sadness, I’d just like to reiterate this point above. We don’t have to post about someone or obsess over them online to love them. Johnny was never a player I would’ve written fanfiction about or shared unhinged thoughts. I’d loved him and admired him from my time playing hockey, and he was unlike anyone else. I frequently explained that compared to all the other players I love or “obsess” over, Johnny is in a league of his own. The sheer love and admiration I had for what an amazing hockey player, but an even more amazing person he was is something I can’t put into words. Rarely do athletes or celebrities have an impact on me, but Johnny did. The idea that I won’t get to see him take the ice again in Nationwide Arena, I don’t get to hear commentators call him Johnny Hockey anymore, and most importantly the fact that this heartbreaking tragedy is undoubtedly sending shockwaves through a family that was looking forward to a weekend of celebration of love and togetherness at their sister’s wedding. It all hurts. And there are no words right now. I want to blink my eyes and have someone tell me I’m dreaming. My own mother called me on my way to work to tell me the news because she didn’t want me to find out through social media, that’s the impact this man had on me and I’m sure so many fans across the hockey community. My sister even reached out to make sure I was okay. So yeah, people can say “they are just an athlete” or “why are you so upset over someone you don’t know?” And I respect people having those opinions, but when players truly make a mark on the sport and the fans, it resonates with you. Because you feel like you know them, like they invite you into their world and give you a chance to look at them in new ways. My thoughts are with the entire hockey community that knew johnny, and most importantly his family as they endure this terrible loss of Johnny and Matthew 💔

johnny gaudreau has been my favorite nhl player since his college days, and I have no words right now. I have multiple jerseys of his, signed memorabilia, but I sadly never got to meet him and tell him how much i loved him as a person and a player. My love for him, if you know me offline, s was unmatched compared to any other player I obsess over online. This world is so cruel and I’m heartbroken. I’m so thankful to have seen him play on multiple occasions, but blue jackets games will not be the same without his #13 on the ice 💔😞

from @perfectlysaltycat32

I just want to say the passing of Johnny and Matty Gaudreau is such a sad and unfortunate moment. Every time I looked through social media and saw more snippets of what happened and how he is remembered it just gets so much more sadder. It's really tragic how this happened *the day before* their sisters wedding. A time where the whole family is sharing one of their happiest moments, and now it's going to be a time of grief. I think it is absolutely gorgeous how all the Calgary fans came together in memory of them with their memorial. They are truly loved everywhere in the hockey community. I hope that every player has access to good therapy and counseling because this is such a rough way to start the season, but I am glad with how positive all of their friends, family, and teammates are. It really just once again shows how loved both of them are. They had a great life, were amazing people, and it deserved to be longer. But now they can watch over their families, teammates, and friends. I'm sending my condolences to everyone affected. Johnny was an amazing father, husband, son, brother, friend, captain, and teammate. He is and always will be Johnny Hockey. Matty was also an amazing husband, son, brother, teammate, and friend. It is deeply saddening that his wife has to raise her expecting baby without him. I hope everything goes smoothly as they can for her, and she and the baby can be healthy. Everyone loves you both, Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. You will be loved and missed. 🕊️❤️

from @wehaveagathering

When I first got into hockey I heard about a guy named "johnny hockey" and I thought that this was like, a legend — someone like Gretzky or Lemieux, who had been so good that he'd had the game incorporated into his name forever. Imagine my surprise when I learned that this dude was just Johnny Gaudreau, not just a legend but an active one too, one still playing. I thought that was really cool. I figured he must have done something really special to earn that nickname. Turns out it wasn't just what he did — it was who he was. Rest easy, Johnny Hockey. You built a legacy that will live for a long time.

from @traiteursroe

I want to take a moment to talk about Johnny and Matty Gaudreau today. Absolute icons. “Johnny Hockey” has been a name that has been recognizable in sport since 2014. He was a gentleman and a fast fucking skater. His brother Matty was smart and talented. The fact that they’ve been taken away from their families by a drunk driver is heartbreaking and inexcusable. Spare a thought and a prayer for them today.

from @crow-the-unknown

just saw the news about johnny gaudreau and his brother's death and i'm honestly at a loss for words. my heart aches for his family and all the friends he's made throughout his career. i can't even put into words how horrible and devastating this is for everyone in the hockey community. sending my prayers their way. i'm fucking wrecked about this. if i could say more i would but. i don't even know. it doesn't even feel real.

from @callsign-denmark

Rest in Peace Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. This was a horrible and tragic loss to the hockey community but more importantly a tragedy to your families. My prayers go out to them all. The hockey community has woken up today to the tragic knew of the passing of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau who were killed last night while riding their bikes in their hometown by a drunk driver who was speeding while trying to pass other vehicles who were going slow to pass the brothers safely. Both brothers were hit from behind, and died due to their injuries. They were in their home town for their sister Katie's wedding which was set to take place today. Johnny and Matthew were not just hockey players, but brothers, sons, husbands, fathers, uncles and friends to many people who are now without their loved ones on a day that was supposed to be filled with joy and love. Please let all of us in the hockey community, as fans, to take a moment of silence no matter what team you cheer for, and send out a silent prayer to the family who will no longer get to hold Johnny and Matthew in their arms, who will no longer get to watch them grow old playing the game they loved, and to the children growing up without a father and uncle to guide them throughout life and love them. While we feel sorrow and sadness over this lose, it's nothing compared to their families who will have to live this life without them.

from @19mercer

all of the insta story posts from many hockey players, teams, and other sport leagues for johnny and matthew gaudreau make me cry. all of the support for their families is genuinely so sweet. i wish nothing but the best for their families during this hard time. i will forever be grateful that i was able to watch him play in the nationwide arena. i am forever grateful for johnny and his time as a blue jacket. and his time with us. thank you for everything 13. rest easy johnny and matthew.

from @bibliomoth

I adored Johnny because he was a such a small streak of lightning in a game full of huge dudes who were regularly a whole foot taller than him. His skills were just fucking phenomenal and he was so exciting to watch. I screamed with joy and cheered him on so loudly I lost my voice on many occasions. He represented his country for International Competitions and is the highest US point scorer. I could get technical and talk about my favourite goals of his, his stickhandling, dangles, on ice spatial awareness etc but it is all on film for anyone to see, just too much to choose from. Nobody moved like Johnny Hockey. As a person he was a sweet, kind guy who was universally liked in the sport and beyond. I do not follow celebrities on social media, but on hockey forums there are endless stories of his voracious love of mac and cheese (so much so Kraft put him in a TV ad) and skittles candies that he had a hockey stick covered in them and auctioned for charity. In interviews he always talked hockey and his family. Whenever asked about new contracts and paycheques he would just shrug and say ‘yeah I bought my dad a boat so we can go fishing’ or ‘I just got a cool new wheelchair lift installed in my holiday home so my cousin can come and spend time with me’, or change the subject and talk about his dog, his wife and kids or The Birds. He was a real gem of a gentleman, modest and always ready to give credit to his team and dad (legendary NJ coach Guy Gaudreau) who motivated Johnny to skate as a toddler by placing skittles candies on the ice for him to fetch. I’m am so sad for him, his family. This is just a blurb of feels about someone I counted down the days for until I could see them make magic on ice. I wish I could write a good tribute, dammit. Thank you Johnny Hockey.

from @blusical

Johnny was more than a hockey player. He was a friend, father, son, brother, whatever you say. And please, don't forget about Matthew too. In fact, don't forget about any of the Gaudreau family, they're struggling too.

from @slavet0thegrind

Man, the news about Johnny Gaudreau's passing has shaken this entire city. I've never cried over the death of an athlete before. Until today. He may have been traded, but everyone in Calgary loved that man so much. The fact that right now the steps of our arena are covered in purple Gatorade and flowers on honor of him says so much. I have also heard that people are flocking to what we refer to as "the Red Mile" tonight to honor him, which is a street downtown that turns into one big party whenever the Flames play a game during playoffs. Everyone pours out of the arena and heads down there to celebrate, or watches the game at bars on that street if they're not at the game. Johnny reignited the Flames when they were starting to burn out, he led that team for so long. We didn't call him Johnny Hockey for no reason. And for him and his brother to be tragically killed the day before their sister's wedding by a fucking drunk driver... It's unbelievably heartbreaking. Rest in Peace Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau 💔😭

from @areyoutherelarry

There are not any words to express how deeply sad and awful it is to hear about the killing of the Gaudreau brothers. They seemed like wonderful humans who positively impacted those around them. They had families who were clearly ripped through by this horrific tragedy. There are wives who will have to raise kiddos without their partners, and kiddos who won't have their dads around. Parents who outlived their kids. A sister who didn't get married. It's bleak shit. There's also a team that has faced so much tragedy. Boone Jenner has had to support the team through two tragic deaths (and faced his own personal loss this year), anyone who was around when Matiss Kivlenieks died, and Sean Monahan who was so excited to be reunited with Gaudreau. This is just heavy shit.

from @brb-counting-stars

today is such a hard day, but take inspiration from johnny to live life by being the kindest and generous person you can. take inspiration from the way he didn’t know if he would be able to make it into the show and pushed on anyways. take inspiration from the kind of brother he was. take inspiration from all the stories of what he would do for fans he spent mere moments with but those memories stayed with them for years, the philanthropic work he would do all throughout his career. take inspiration from the guy that grinned as brad marchand yapped at him from the opposite penalty box and then went on to score a hat trick, the teammate that was so beloved he inspired his buddy to sign with a team so that they could play together again. take inspiration from the nine-year-old kid that earned the nickname “love machine”, the twenty-seven-year-old man who finished his bachelor’s degree nine years later because he made a promise to his mom. and of course, you can’t forget the stories of him taping pucks to himself for weighing in at the combine, or writing a paper in college on how to make a ham and cheese sandwich, or how he would wipe red sauce off his meatballs, or how he got sick from mainlining nutella to gain weight for the season, or how he tried to cash his first paycheck at a random bar atm, or how he wore yeezys to ride a horse at the calgary stampede. live life to the fullest and remember johnny’s kindheartedness, humility, and positivity. his presence and spirit will really be missed throughout the hockey community.

from @hufflepuffhabs

Ever since seeing the devastating news yesterday afternoon while at work, I've been thinking of what the right words are in a situation as hopeless as this. There is no return button, no undo. In Memory of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau Ever since seeing the devastating news yesterday afternoon while at work, I've been thinking of what the right words are in a situation as hopeless as this. There is no return button, no undo. A family, a community left with empty spots. All the circumstances make it only sadder and more tragic. There are no right words, but there are tokens of hope, showing up and lighting a candle in memory and remembrance for not only two incredible hockey players but humans. When I was a little tween hockey fan, I really liked the Calgary Flames. Mostly because they drafted a Swiss guy 1st round, but they had many other young prospects, Johnny being probably the brightest. But as for many, it was his character that impressed me most, a Skittle loving child-at-heart guy that left it all on the ice. I will always remember how disappointed he was when they did not all him to do a stunt with a burning stick at the All-Star Game. May Johnny and Matthew rest in peace. And may we think of their family and of all families that have lost loved ones in this tragic way.

from @tattoed-and-toothless

Fly high and rest easy Johnny and Matthew 🕊 You left behind a lot of amazing memories to be remembered by. The hockey world is rallying around your family, they'll be well taken care of ♥️

from @sportspuckball

I've driven that road. Fuck that driver for literally ever. May Matthew and Johnny's memories forever be a blessing to all who loved them, knew them, and were impacted by them. So many of us knew Johnny, but I'm also thinking a lot about the high school kiddos that Matthew coached. Every aching moment of this fucking sucks. Don't let anyone tell you that grieving someone you don't know personally is stupid -- grief is grief and it is yours. Do what you need to process it as you see fit. The only thing any of us *need* to do is respect the family's privacy as they grieve, too.

from the Columbus Blue Jackets

The Columbus Blue Jackets are shocked and devastated by this unimaginable tragedy. Johnny was not only a great hockey player, but more significantly a loving husband, father, son, brother and friend. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to his wife, Meredith, his children, Noa and Johnny, his parents, their family and friends on the sudden loss of Johnny and Matthew. Johnny played the game with great joy which was felt by everyone that saw him on the ice. He brought a genuine love for hockey with him everywhere he played from Boston College to the Calgary Flames to Team USA to the Blue Jackets. He thrilled fans in a way only Johnny Hockey could. The impact he had on our organization and our sport was profound, but pales in comparison to the indelible impression he made on everyone who knew him. Johnny embraced our community when he arrived two years ago, and Columbus welcomed him with open arms. We will miss him terribly and do everything that we can to support his family and each other through this tragedy. At this time, we ask for prayers for the Gaudreau family and that their privacy be respected as they grieve.

from the Calgary Flames

It is with great sadness, we mourn the tragic deaths of our friend Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew Gaudreau. Our hearts are broken by this devastating loss. Johnny was and always will be a member of the Flames family and loved by all of Calgary. It was our privilege to call Johnny our teammate for nine amazing years in Calgary. He came to Calgary as a young man and grew up here, not only as a superstar on the ice, but also a beloved member of our community. The pain we feel for Johnny's wife Meredith, children No and Johnny, parents Jane and Guy, sisters Kristen and Katie, and the entire Gaudreau family is immense. Ownership, management, players, and staff of the Calgary Flames express our heartfelt spates during their time of sorrow. You are in our thoughts and prayers ❤️

from Brad Treliving

I am absolutely devastated by the news of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew's passing. John was truly a special player, dazzling on the ice with his incredible talent, but what made him truly special was the person he was off the ice. His thousand-watt smiles and infectious personality were matched only by his love for his family, friends, and those close to him. He brought joy to everyone around him and to the many who never knew him but marvelled at his excellence on the ice. John was a beloved teammate and a friend to so many in the hockey community, and he will be deeply missed by all of us who had the privilege of knowing him. My heart goes out to the entire Gaudreau family - to his mom and dad, Jane and Guy; his sisters, Kristen and Kate; his loving wife, Meredith; his precious children, Noa and Johnny; and everyone affected by his unimaginable loss. Family was everything to John, and in his memory, please hug those close to you tighter and longer today and every day.

from Gary Bettman

(paraphrased)...While Johnny's infections spirit for the game and show-stopping skills on the ice earned him the nickname "Johnny Hockey", he was more than just a dazzling hockey player; he was a doting father and beloved husband, son, brother, and teammate who endears himself to every person fortunate enough to have crossed his path... ...He will be remembered fondly in Calgary, where he played his first nine seasons with the Flames form 2013-14 to 2021-22, emerging as one of our League's brightest young stars while compiling the franchise's fits-highest career points total. His loss also will be felt profoundly in Columbus, the city in which he chose to settle his family and where he was one of the respected, veteran leaders of a club building toward the playoffs. And both Johnny and Matthew will be mourned at Boston College, where they were teammates the year Johnny won the Honey Baker Award in 2013-14, and at Gloucester Catholic High School in New Jersey, where both played and where Matthew was the head coach following his own five-year pro playing career. We send our most heartfelt condolences to his wife Meredith; their children, Noa and Johnny; his parents, Guy and Jane; and sisters Kristen and Katie. And we grieve alongside his teammates, members of the Columbus and Calgary organizations, his many friends hockey and countless fans around the world for whom he created incredible memories on and off the ice.

from Pascal Vincent

I want to extend my deepest condolences to the family of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. This tragedy has left me speechless and in shock. Over the years, I had the privilege of getting to know the real Johnny Gaudreau - the person behind the hockey player. He was a humble and unassuming young man with extraordinary talent, who never sought to be in the spotlight. Instead, he enjoyed life's simple pleasures and possessed a quiet strength of character. His passion for the game and exceptional hockey sense allowed him to achieve greatness, yet he remained grounded and true to himself. I had the pleasure of meeting his wonderful family, including his wife, children, and parents. My thoughts are with them today. It's an honor to have known not only the incredible hockey player but also the kind and beloved person Johnny was to everyone he met. Wherever we went, people admired him on and off the ice. Despite his success, he remained humble and genuine. Johnny, you toughed so many lives with your kindness and contagious smile. I feel fortunate to have known you so closely. Your memory will stay with me forever. Rest in peace Johnny.

from @love-youu-softly

When I first got into hockey, I was feeling really lost. The flames were one of the first teams I became a fan of, and so many nights were spent alone in my room at 20 years old watching the flames and Johnny hockey. Will forever be important to me.

from @primakira

johnny gaudreau was the first player i ever learned about when i was trying to get into hockey. he was a spitfire on the ice and an even greater person off of it. i'll probably write something longer later since i can't even type this through my tears, but for now, thank you so much for everything, johnny. 💙 rest in peace to his brother matthew as well. such an unimaginable tragedy. my heart goes out to the entire gaudreau family and to everyone that loved them.

out of all the players i like in the nhl, johnny has a special place in my heart because he was the first player i ever knew. he's the reason i got into the sport during the pandemic. even before connor mcdavid or sidney crosby, there was johnny hockey. as soon as i saw his small stature and big smile, i was hooked. his smile was infectious, his hands were amazing, his skating was mesmerizing (his lil strides were so cute too), and his heart was all-encompassing. every night, you couldn't believe the things he could do. he was a spitfire on the ice - constantly underestimated but tenacious as hell. furthermore, he was kind, humble, funny, and down to earth. there's a reason everyone loved him. hell, his team would wage a war for him (matty tkachuk i'm looking at your penalties during that stars series). off the ice, he was a family man through and through. he loved his family so fucking much and he loved his community so much. all he wanted was the perfect place to call home for his kids and he found it. johnny encapsulated the joy of hockey, and he took that joy with him today. my heart goes out to everyone who loved him and matthew, especially their family and friends. the world lost two bright stars in a heartbreaking and senseless tragedy. thanks for everything, johnny. may you and matthew rest in peace. 🕊

from @bedsyandco

so shocked and saddened by the news of johnny and matthew gaudreau’s passing. this is such horrible news and I can’t even fathom the grief and loss that everyone who knew them is feeling right now. I truly hope that their family and friends have the utmost support and love right now. sending love and prayers to everyone affected by this loss 🩷

from @soffsh

Truthfully what is there to say, I knew getting on here would be so utterly painful. Seeing all these black and white pictures of Johnny and Matthew doesn’t seem real. The world has lost an incredible hockey player, father, husband and person in Johnny Gaudreau. I was hoping and praying last night that we wouldn’t be making these posts today, but we weren’t that fortunate. My deepest and sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. As well as the whole fan base of not only the Columbus Blue Jackets but the Calgary Flames who have lost a friend and a family member. Johnny and Matthew you will be missed so dearly amongst the hockey community, but not nearly as much as by your family. Rest in Peace, boys.

from @alexandretexiers

Only a few days ago, Kivi would have been 28. Just for another unimaginable tragedy happening only days later, took the lives of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew. Both brothers were taken from their mother and father, sisters, wives and children. Children who are all under two, with one not even born yet. I’ve been crying most of today, and I can’t even imagine the pain their families are in. One of their sisters was supposed to get married today, with her brothers by her side as groomsmen. And the bastard that killed them doesn’t even feel any remorse. Rest easy, Johnny and Matthew. You both will be dearly missed

from @rumandwhine

Had to take a day before I could even try to articulate any of this; I've never been this genuinely devastated by the loss of a public figure before. I can't express enough of my heartbreak and condolences for the entire Gaudreau family, I can't even imagine their loss and I won't insult their grief by trying. All I can do is thank them for letting us, the fans, get to know their amazing son, brother, husband, father for a while - it was truly a joy to watch and root for him. And to everyone else - the other fans in mourning or shock or whatever indescribable emotion you're feeling right now - all I can do is remind you that time is precious. Hug your parents, call your siblings, tell your partner you love them. I've already gotten years more than Johnny and Matthew will ever have; I intend to try and make the rest of the ones I'm allowed to mean more then the ones before them. I think that's the only way any of us can really honor their lives. Stay safe. And take care of yourselves.

from @wannabehockeygf

I wish I had all the words, but I don’t. They were so incredibly loved, and so young. My heart goes out to their family and friends. RIP Johnny Hockey & Matthew Gaudreau. Life is so fucking precious.

from @sweetestdesire

The Columbus Blue Jackets have unfortunately lost a few too many, and my heart is aching so bad for Johnny Gaudreau and his family. I can’t even begin to imagine how the team, his wife and children, and his family must be feeling right now. It’s times like this when we realize just how precious life really is. A life that touches others goes on forever. May Johnny and his brother, Matthew rest in peace.

from anonymous

this whole situation is so incredibly devastating. i’ll always remember johnny being afraid of both the CBJ cannon and the penguins at the calgary zoo 😔. while everyone should mourn and grieve as they do, please take the time to remember the happy moments and wonderful memories! seeing the outpour of love from brings me comfort and i can only wish the same for the gaudreau family.

from @bitchinbarzal

Dogs loved him, penguins startled him He was an amazing guy! I met him in Ohio, nicest guy - he deserves to be remembered that way 💙

from @mikkomacko

The first hockey jersey I ever bought was a #13 flames jersey I didn’t grow up in a hockey state, don’t have any friends or family that watch or follow the sport. Every time I asked for a jersey on a holiday or birthday I never got one. No one here knew what to get, where to look for one. I found the jersey for resale and used scholarship money my freshman year of college to buy it. I’m an Avs fan. I went to school in Colorado. But Johnny was one of the first players I ever saw on the tv and I liked his name and number. And I loved how he carried himself on and off the ice. I loved his love for the game and the way he played it. No matter the team, the number, the jersey, whatever I always wanted him to win. Today has been tough for so many and while it’s heartbreaking it’s so heartwarming to see how many players, fans, athletes, and people in general loved and cheered for not just Johnny but his brother too. Sending healing thoughts to his friends, family, and teammates. And to everyone else that was a fan of him like me.

from @strangelymint

I didn't watch much hockey growing up, I've only really started to consistently watch it and keep up with it since the playoffs of the 2021-2022 nhl season. However, the few times I did watch it growing up and starting to keep up with hockey, I remember watching Johnny Gaudreau so well. He was one of the players that made hockey and the Flames so fun, and he had such a huge positive impact on Calgary that I felt even before I watched those playoffs. I wish I got to watch him play more. Rest in peace to Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau and my heart goes out to their family and friends.

from @richards-mike

30/08 - dear johnny hockey, everyone knew your name. i knew it as well. it's difficult to put everything that i'm feeling into words & you kept being in my mind since i opened instagram at work today and that the first post that i saw was the devastating news that you passed away in some deeply disturbing and disgusting circumstances. you were the kind of player that was unique. you had a great talent on the ice, there is no doubt about it, but most importantly a you had the biggest and greatest heart of gold out there. you were the kind of player that everyone could cheer for and that we could admire in silent. you were our ✨special little guy✨ hockey was part of it. but the human part was the most important as well. we never know how much we can lose before we do. your remind us all today that life is fragile. but you reminded me that the world is still a good place. that people still can come together to remember the impact that a simple human can have when they choose kindness. you may be gone today, johnny but you will never be forgotten <13

from @annieqattheperipheral

(paraphrased) I keep getting waves of omg he's really gone. Like really really. We know there are going to be a lot of pregame tributes but like how you gonna do that and then expect anyone to do their jobs after without the entire arena from fans to teams to staff erupting in tears, times 32 rinks across the continent and probably flames and cbj's ahl teams and other teams too. agh. Grieving is so much. I'm glad we have our supports here with each other. Whenever i need to let something out i might post here (always tagging so you can step away, filter if you ever need to knowing what you can or can't handle that day). And so when johnny and matty's spouses each posted about their husbands this weekend.. i was amazed. And happy. I mean as i could be. Because it meant that they were being taken care of, they were supported so well they had no inclination of going inward and isolating. (I mean i withdrew so hard after i hit so many blocks with my family. I didn't post until a month later, informing so many ppl in my life.) Instead the gaudreaus were so open and sharing and that filled me with so much awe of the love and care within their family. Johnny and matty were so . well . loved. Matthew Tkachuk is one of the few players i keep notif on for and he was the one i learned the news from and every time he posts he proves yet again how incredible his family is, that he is being taken care of as well. That's a guy who has let us into his grief and i can't thank him and other players posting enough, that it's not radio silence. That we're sharing in this pain. Incredibly grateful.

from Matthew Tkachuck

Absolutely devastated. I will miss seeing that smile! RIP Hockey! love you bro 💔

from Rasmus Andersson

Trying to find the right words today is not easy. You were a hell of a hockey player but it's the person Johnny that was always is going to be with me, one of my closest friends, it didn't matter if we hadn't spoken in a day or a week we always knew where we had each other! There hasn't been a dry eye in the Andersson house today we all love you Johnny. Looking back at this picture with a smile and a tear, we were very hungover laughing about this the next morning... To Meredith Noa and Johnny Jr we're always here for you and we love you ❤️ Rest in peace uncle Johnny and Matty 🕊️

from Mikael Backlund

I can't believe it's true... I'm gutted. I'm going to miss you buddy. My thoughts are with the entire Gaudreau family. 💔

from Blake Coleman

It's hard to find the words so I'll keep it short. One of the best guys to be around, always had that big smile on your face and never passed up a good time. A great dad and husband to that beautiful family of yours. You will be missed by so many. Praying for your entire family in this incredibly difficult time. Thanks for the memories Johnny, you won't be forgotten. Rest easy #13

from Elias Lindholm

Completely heartbroken. Gonna miss you my friend. Sending all our love to the Gaudreau family. Rest in peace Johnny and Matthew 🕊️❤️

from Cole Caufield

We all lost an amazing person, both on and off the ice, in last week’s tragedy. My deepest condolences go to the entire Gaudreau family, especially Johnny’s wife and two kids, who I had the pleasure of meeting. Nothing will be able to fill the void in their families and loved ones hearts, but I hope it provides some comfort to know how these two positively impacted the lives of so many. They will truly be missed.  Getting to play with your hero is something that most people only dream of. I was lucky enough to be Johnny’s teammate this past summer and it didn’t take long to realize how great of a person he was. He was the most welcoming, genuine, and funniest guy I have ever met. He was someone everyone gravitated towards and I took every chance I could to be around him. Not only was he an amazing hockey player and teammate, but he was down to earth and truly cared about every person he encountered. The last few years playing as #22 have been some of the best years of my life. It truly has been a dream come true and I will forever hold those memories and that number close to me. I wore #13 at a point in my career because of Johnny and now I will be wearing it again to honor him. He paved the way for smaller players and proved we had a future in this game at the highest level. I will forever be grateful to him for inspiring me and others.  Rest in Peace, Johnny hockey.

from Boone Jenner

I'm absolutely heartbroken to be posting this but John deserves to be honoured, today and always. Take the hockey out of Johnny. You have one of the best friends, teammates, sons, brothers, husbands, and above all, fathers out there. It's impossible to put into words how much we will miss you man. I'll miss the backdoor tap ins, our battles at the card table, our gold matches, but most of all I'll miss you wearing black dress shoes with shorts on every Florida trip. Our thoughts and prayers are with eh Gaudreau and Morris family and everyone affected by this unimaginable tragedy and loss. I love you buddy. May Johnny and Matthew rest in peace.

from Jarome Iginla

While I never had the privilege to play with Johnny, the times we met or played together, I could feel how special he was. Johnny hockey made our sport better in many special ways. My family and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to have spent time with Wim, and we will always be his fans. With broken hearts, we pray for the Gaudreau family and friends during this devastating time.

from Lanny MacDonald

You were magic, Johnny Hockey

I was in the 'Dome the night he scored in overtime to send the Flames to the second round of the playoffs in 2022. I swear the foundation of that old building was shaking, the eruption from the crowd was so violently joyous. It was the outpouring of love, awe, and gratitude for our fiery hero...watching the passion and fervour Johnny Hockey played with felt electric. There are no words that can match the tragedy of what has happened. Waking up to the news of Johnny and Matthew's passing hit my family like a ton of bricks, not only for their senseless deaths, but the gripping heartbreak for their loved ones who face the unimaginable. Let the hockey world rally around the Gaudreaus, their families and friends, and although we can't even start to understand the depth of their shock and pain, I hope they are overwhelmed with the outpouring of love and support. Go easy on those legends up there in heaven's hockey rink, boys. You're getting there earlier than expected, but they'll take good care of you. Godspeed Johnny and Matthew, Godspeed ❤️

from Jaromir Jagr

I honestly never thought I'd write a text like this to a post. Yea that goal was my last NHL goal. Yes, that's a pretty nice goal. Yes, it was a beautiful pass above all. Unfortunately, life can sometimes be incredibly cruel. Thank you Johnny for being there and giving hope to all the guys with your incredible performances, that though they are not the biggest and toughest, they can succeed at the NHL world class just like you did. My condolences to the whole family. R.I.P to you and your brother

from Wayne Gretzky

Janet, myself and our entire family are devastated as this senseless tragedy. We are sending our love, thoughts, and prayers to the Gaudreau family. We lost two young men who were loved and a huge presence both on and off the ice. Johnny and Matthew, you will always be remembered and missed.

I love the 2016-2017 Disney Princesses comics because they are very cute, quite funny and pretty, add a few cute good lore elements, and have characters bond

Notably it has Merida and her ex suitors having become friends after the movie's events which is adorable. None wanted marriage and she didn't want to put aside her tomboyish personalities they were allowed to have, so they all bonded over those as the clans made peace. That's adorable

I also love the balance of consistency (Wee Dingwall is not stupid. He just has a resting high face especially when he is not happy to be there or doing that. And these strips understood that) and evolution (none used to understand Young MacGuffin now they do and just "translate" for us readers, they all used to be shocked and embarrassed Merida was superior to them now they gladly accept it and try to better themselves and show off to her not an unfriendly way, Wee Dingwall speaks more and even though Young MacIntosh is still proud and boasts a lot and still tries to impress the archery expert as if he would teach her anything, it no longer, he no longer seems to fit as many tantrums as before, mock or look down on others, seeing teens his age and a girl who not only is not a trophy for once in his life but a genuine friend as well as someone who had him and the others open their eyes about this arranged marriage thing, he became slightly more humble and seems to still be working on it and heading towards the right way. As for Merida herself, who used to roast and mock them with her dad, now she is more at peace now that they no longer pose a threat to her future and so became helpful, supporting and even when she makes fun it is more light hearted than anything and she aknowledges when they do good (such as no matter how shitty his desmonstration had been Young MacIntosh DID do a bullseye) and is no longer annoyed but amused or concerned about their antic

But my favorite strip is this one for everything is implies and the lore details and potential it gives, especially for how much the movie is about parent-child relationships

The fact they all agreed to camp together and their parents agreed implying the clans are closer than ever and them, future clan leaders, will be closer than ever for having hunted together, fought together and camped around a fire in the middle of nowhere together in their youth

The confirmation Merida isn't/wasn't (it seems to take place after the movie but I guess even if the bond was mended and Elinor now accepts her daughter's tastes and opinions she still must expect her to keep practicing stuff essential for a Lady's future, or a compromise Merida accepts to do now they understand each other even if she doesn't like it) the only one to have to follow strict royal lessons but they all did which puts even more into perspective their roles in the movie and why they approved her choice

The implication that either the Lords are like Elinor at home being more up to the rules, serious and strict than Fergus and just being feral once together as men OR it has to do with gender and the mothers have to be like that to their daughters and so do the fathers to their sons

And the most boring tasks the dads give them have to do with their (dads' and/or sons') traits : Lord MacIntosh is very proud of his lineage and genes (he prides themselves in having the most beautiful hair) so he demands for his proud son to be proud for something useful for once such as about his own family heritage, Lord MacGuffin tries (enhance tries, that's not really how you help but he tries) to have his son more confident and more eloquent as a future leader who will have to be heard and understood by his people in his court or in battle, and then you have Lord Dingwall who just has his son do chores for him, which works with how bossy he is and how it must be his definition of making someone responsible, as well as how the Dingwalls seem to be more practical than show since whereas they are mocked for jist having a rock as sigil, it is a much better weapon than a caldron or a lyre and goes straight to the point without needless symbolism therefore chores must be more important for him in life for a leader than anything else

I am obviously overanalyzing some points, but these go perfectly with my HCs

Top 10 Representatives (2023)

This post is for 'Top 10 Representatives' I'd like to fuck and is purely based on appearance, not politics. If you don't agree, either scroll onwards, post your own idea or try another blog.

10. Rep. Jerry Carl (R-AL 1st District)

An American politician and businessman serving as the U.S. Representative for Alabama’s 1st congressional district since 2021. Nothing to base this on, but Jerry looks like he could be had, if offered… THE DICK.

9. Rep. John Carter (R-TX 31st District)

Damn… they grow them hot in Texas. The U.S. Representative for Texas’s 31st congressional district, serving since 2003. Nicknamed Judge, Carter is falls in my ‘loves to fuck’ theory and he does look like he loves to fuck.

8. Rep. James Comer (R-KY 1st District)

An American politician from the Commonwealth of Kentucky who currently represents the state’s 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. Something tells me he could be a great cocksucker. Just look at those lips. What? I’m not saying he is… just that he could be and I'd love to find out.

7. Rep. Jim Baird (R-IN 4th District)

An American businessman and politician serving as the U.S. representative for Indiana’s 6th congressional district since 2019. The best looking Pence brother from his silver hair, down to his nice legs and his various shoes.

6. Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA 41st District)

An American businessman and politician serving as the U.S. representative for California's 41st congressional district. Married young divorced not long after, no new wife or lady friend that I could find. He has a cute little dog he dresses up and carries around with him all the time. I might be projecting, but I think my chances are high with this one.

5. Greg Pence (R-IN 6th District)

An American businessman and politician serving as the U.S. representative for Indiana’s 6th congressional district since 2019. The best looking Pence brother from his silver hair, down to his nice legs and his various shoes.

4. Jeff Duncan (R-SC 3rd District)

An American politician who has been the United States representative for South Carolina's 3rd congressional district since 2011. Well, all I can say is this man is almost perfect for me. Why not perfect? He's not naked and in my bed with my jizz all over him. What? Then he’d be perfect.

3. Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-PA 15th District)

An American politician serving as the U.S. representative for Pennsylvania's 15th congressional district since 2019. Nice and manly, he looks like he would be a champion in bed.

2. Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE 2nd District)

An American politician and retired military officer serving as the U.S. representative for Nebraska's 2nd congressional district since 2017. Handsome, nice tits and body. This man is husband material. Better yet, trophy husband material. The type of guy you can walk into a room with him on your arm, telling everyone “Yeah… I’m fucking this.”

1. Rep. Mike Bost (R-IL 12th District)

An American politician. This man is almost perfect. The only thing wrong with him is that he isn’t in my bed. Nice build, nice dresser and a very handsome face.

HONORABLE MENTIONS: Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA 20th District) Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL 3rd District) Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD 5th District)

SUPER BOWL MANÍA

1 juego, 1000 emociones

Origen del Superbowl

El Super Bowl es el último partido de campeonato de la Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano (NFL). Sus orígenes se remontan a la fusión en 1966 de la NFL y la American Football League (AFL). El primer Super Bowl se celebró en 1967, enfrentó al campeón de la NFL contra el campeón de la AFL, y desde entonces se ha convertido en un importante evento deportivo y cultural con espectáculos de medio tiempo y publicidad costosa que atraen audiencias globales masivas.

Importancia e impacto

Sus primeras ediciones contaron con bandas de marcha locales que se encargaban de amenizar el evento; a partir de los años 70 se sumaron músicos de jazz que tocaban en el entretiempo del partido. Desde la década de los 90, cuando su tradicional espectáculo de medio tiempo sufrió una revolución al incorporar grandes estrellas de la música de talla mundial.

Al notar el atractivo de este show para llegar a más personas, los anunciantes comenzaron a comprar espacios publicitarios a cambio de millonarias sumas. Según reporta un artículo del portal mexicano Expansión, un comercial de 30 segundos tuvo un costo aproximado de 6,5 millones de dólares en la última edición.

El creciente mundo de las apuestas también se ve fuertemente influenciado por este partido. De acuerdo con la American Gaming Association (AGA), el año pasado se movieron más de 7.000 millones de dólares por este concepto, provenientes de 31.4 millones de apostadores, cifra récord para el organismo.

Show de medio tiempo

El show de medio tiempo del Super Bowl es uno de los eventos musicales y de entretenimiento más esperados del año, ya que la cantidad de emoción, publicidad y marketing que genera este evento es un suceso sin precedentes que agita al mundo de la música y el espectáculo.

Desde el año 2023, el nuevo patrocinador y encargado de traer al público este gran evento es la reconocida empresa de tecnología "Apple" despúes de la finalización del contrato que se tenía establecido con pepsi tras la temporada 2021.

El tan aclamado espectáculo de medio tiempo del super bowl no siempre fue tal y como lo conocemos ho en día, pues cuando el Super Bowl fue creado en 1967, el show de medio tiempo era realizado por bandas locales, pero al notar el gran desinterés y la caída de audiencia durante el medio tiempo, NBC, el canal encargado de transmitir el evento en 1993, contrató a Michael Jackson para el espectáculo de medio tiempo del Super Bowl XXVII en un intento por aumentar los índices de audiencia y generar interés en el espectáculo de medio tiempo. Tal estrategia fue un éxito, y el espectáculo ofrecido por Jackson marcó la primera vez en la que el medio tiempo fue más visto que el partido en cuestión.

Tras dicho éxito, el espectáculo de medio tiempo se realiza por artistas de renombre todos los años; yendo desde artistas como Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears o Enrique Iglesias en los inicios de los 2000s, hasta artistas como Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna y The weekend en los últimos años.

Actuaciones destacadas:

Michel Jackson (1993)

The Rolling Stones (2006)

Maddona y Nicki Minaj (2012)

Beyocé (2013)

Bruno Mars, Red Hot Chilli Peppers (2014)

Katy Perry (2015)

Lady Gaga (2017)

Jennifer López, Shakira, Bad Bunny, J Balvin (2020)

Rihanna (2023)

Premios

Los jugadores que forman parte del equipo ganador del Super Bowl obtienen varios beneficios y recompensas, aunque la mayoría de veces estas no son premios en efectivo. Algunas de las recompensas y beneficios que reciben los jugadores del equipo ganador del Super Bowl son:

Lombardi trophy

Desfile lanzado

Un anillo

Dinero (aproximadamente 157k)

Duración general

La duración promedio del Super Bowl, que es el juego final de la temporada de la NFL (National Football League), es de alrededor de 3 a 4 horas. Sin embargo, el tiempo real puede variar dependiendo de varios factores, como las pausas comerciales, el espectáculo de medio tiempo y la duración de los cuartos de juego. El tiempo total del evento, incluyendo el prejuego y las festividades, suele ser más largo.

Equipos

Equipos que participan en el Superbowl. En el superbowl participan los campeones de la conferencia americana contra los campeones de la conferencia Nacional.

En los últimos 5 años estos han sido los equipos que han participado en la competencia.

Año Equipo AFC Equipo NFC Ganador: 1. 2023: Kansas City - Chiefs Philadelphia Eagles - Kansas City Chiefs. 2. 2022: Los Angeles Rams - Cincinnati Bengals - Los Angeles Rams. 3. 2021: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Kansas City Chiefs Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 4. 2020: Kansas City Chiefs - San Francisco 49ers - Kansas City Chiefs. 5. 2019: New England Patriots - Los Angeles Rams - New England Patriots.

Evolución a través del tiempo

El medio tiempo del Super Bowl puede ser fácilmente dividido en dos eras: Antes de Michael Jackson y Después de Michael Jackson. Su presentación en 1993 convirtió al medio tiempo en algo más que una distracción secundaria. Con fuegos artificiales, hielo seco, dobles de Jackson y enormes dibujos creados con cartulinas repartidas entre el público, el cantante demostró que nada podría ser excesivo.

Ahora la NFL comienza a planear su medio tiempo con meses de anticipación, mientras negocia con los artistas elegidos y prepara como se realizarán las presentaciones, dijo Mark Quenzel, vicepresidente senior de la NFL a cargo del espectáculo de medio tiempo. Tras el "defecto de vestuario" que dejó casi al descubierto uno de los pechos de Janet Jackson en 2004, la liga ha mantenido un control estricto para que el espectáculo sea apto para toda la familia.

Ubicación

La Super Bowl LII se llevó a cabo el 4 de febrero de 2018 en el U.S. Bank Stadium, que se encuentra en Minneapolis, Minnesota, Estados Unidos. Fue un emocionante partido entre los New England Patriots y los Philadelphia Eagles, que los Eagles ganaron por un marcador de 41-33.

La Super Bowl LIII se llevó a cabo el 3 de febrero de 2019 en el Mercedes-Benz Stadium, que se encuentra en Atlanta, Georgia, Estados Unidos. Fue un enfrentamiento entre los New England Patriots y los Los Angeles Rams, con los Patriots ganando el juego con un marcador de 13-3.

La Super Bowl LIV se llevó a cabo el 2 de febrero de 2020 en el Hard Rock Stadium, que se encuentra en Miami Gardens, Florida, Estados Unidos. En este juego se enfrentaron los Kansas City Chiefs y los San Francisco 49ers, con los Kansas City Chiefs ganando el partido por un marcador de 31-20.

La Super Bowl LV se llevó a cabo el 7 de febrero de 2021 en el Raymond James Stadium, que se encuentra en Tampa, Florida, Estados Unidos. En este juego se enfrentaron los Tampa Bay Buccaneers y los Kansas City Chiefs, y los Tampa Bay Buccaneers ganaron el partido con un marcador de 31-9. Fue significativo porque fue la primera vez que un equipo jugó el Super Bowl en su estadio y porque el mariscal de campo de los Buccaneers, Tom Brady, ganó su séptimo título de Super Bowl, estableciendo un nuevo récord.

Explicación del Super Bowl

Super Bowl es el nombre que se le da al partido final del campeonato de la National Football League (NFL). Principal campeonato profesional de fútbol americano en Estados UnidoS, en el que se enfrentan los campeones de la Conferencia Nacional (NFC) y de la Conferencia Americana (AFC).

El partido se lleva a cabo el segundo domingo del mes de febrero.

Este particular nombre nace de Lamar Hunt gracias a la inspiración de un juego que su hijo disfrutaba llamado "Super ball"

El Super Bowl es una de las transmisiones televisivas más vistas de Estados Unidos cada año. Muchos músicos han actuado durante las ceremonias antes del partido y en el descanso, la franja publicitaria es la más cara de todo el año, y el día del partido (conocido como "Super Sunday" o Super domingo) está considerado de facto como una fiesta nacional.

El primer Super Bowl se jugó el 15 de enero de 1967 (el primer ganador fue Green Bay)

I just feel something special from the moment the trailer opens and we see these women in the whole football montage to their interest in reading Gronk erotica. These are some really fun moments in the movie that I am sure will end with these ladies meeting Tom himself. I am already excited about their journey and I can't wait to see this comedy release in theaters. That's al I have for this one... Read the full article

This one took me a good half hour to clean up, but I’m happy with the results - still, wouldn’t hurt to have a better camera so that I can get better pictures from the start :p

Thanks for the update on Johnnie! That snippet was so cute I can’t wait to read it.

But in the meantime, I’m curious - what’s the deal with the Marvel Two-In-One canon divergent fic?

I have no idea what Marvel Two-In-One is 😅

I think I've called this the villain!Peter fic before. There's actually a couple of series called Marvel Two-In-One, but I'm referring to the 2017 comic written by Chip Zdarsky, which saw Ben and Johnny, both losing their powers due to plot reasons, hopping from universe to universe with Doctor Doom looking for their Reed and Sue. It's a really good comic with stellar Johnny, Ben, and Victor characterization, but I was kind of disappointed in one of the storylines which involved an evil version of Peter who had essentially taken over his whole world and was ruling like a mad warlord. Like, it's a great scenario especially with Johnny in the mix, and I loved the implication of where that world's canon split off from the main continuity, but the execution didn't do it for me. So I wrote 30k of """fixit""" fic. (The fixit is I make it worse.) (This might be unsurprising but this is the fic I mentioned in an earlier ask that has a less than happy ending.)

“You’re killing people,” Johnny said, a flat accusation.

“Wow, got it one,” the Spider drawled. He set the helmet down and tapped Johnny lightly on the nose. “Clever boy. Don’t worry, I haven’t hurt anybody who didn’t deserve it.”

“Maybe I don’t think that’s for you to decide,” Johnny said.

“Hot stuff, when we’re in your universe, you can give me your opinions on what is and isn’t my place,” the Spider said, sounding bored. “But we’re in my world, and you’re going to play by my rules. Save me the moralizing. Smarter men than you have tried.”

Johnny had to try not to flinch at the sting of his words. Something softened in the Spider’s expression, like he’d realized he’d hurt him and hadn’t meant to.

“Hey, come here. Let me look at you,” the Spider said, leaning in close. His hand drifted to Johnny’s cheek, trailing featherlight touches, and his tone had softened, like a switch had gone off, changing him from the Spider back to the Peter Johnny knew and loved.

It was a trick, Johnny told himself. It was a lie. But still he leaned in closer.

“You’re a little older than he was. I think I forgot until I saw you again just how stunning you are.” He leaned in close, tucking his knuckles under Johnny’s chin. “You’re just like him – gorgeous.”

For one horrible moment, Johnny thought he might try to kiss him. He had never simultaneously wanted something so much and not wanted it at all before.

“Thank your personal stylist,” he said, somehow managing to keep his voice dry.

The Spider’s sharp eyes glimmered. He pulled away from Johnny, shrugging his shoulders with nonchalance.

“Jan does good work,” he said. “And far be it from me to make multiversal assumptions, hot stuff, but I’ve never known you to turn down free clothes.”

An embarrassed flush crept into his cheeks, and Johnny curled his hands into fists.

“Where are Ben and Rachna?” he asked.

“Is that the lady’s name?” the Spider asked lightly. “Smart cookie. Foul mouth. Interesting work with the hand. Don’t worry your pretty little head about it. Everyone’s safe for the moment.”

“And Doom?” Johnny asked, not missing the implication in the Spider’s words: Behave, or they’ll suffer for it.

“Must be a funny world you come from, firefly, where you of all people worry about Doctor Doom’s safety,” the Spider said. He glanced away, his jaw tightening. “He’s been contained.”

‘Contained’ – Johnny didn’t want to know what that meant. He cast a look around the room so he wouldn’t have to look at the Spider’s familiar face, taking in the rich red velvet drapes on the bed, the dark wood furniture, the open closet with the black Spider-Man suit hanging alongside Kraven’s vest and Mysterio’s cape. A tattered lab coat lay to one side, stained with old blood. More trophies.

His Peter’s bedroom was always a wreck, clothes on the floor and webshooters in a state of disrepair on the desk, tools and books scattered everywhere and pictures of friends and family all over the wall.

(Johnny would never forget how stunned he’d been the first time he’d seen the framed photo of him and Peter, both mugging for the camera in matching I’m With Stupid shirts, hanging in Peter’s living room between a shot of a smiling Harry Osborn and one of Peter’s aunt.)

The Spider’s room had no photos. There were no personal effects that he could see, save for his trophies of fallen heroes and villains alike. Johnny glanced at the closet again. Far away from all the trophies, there was an ivory garment bag like the one Sue kept her wedding dress in hanging all by its lonesome. Unlike the lab coat and the vest, it was pure and pristine. It looked odd among the rest, and maybe that was why he asked.

“Pete, where’s Mary Jane?” Johnny asked.

The Spider went deadly still, his hand poised to pick up his cup. A muscle in his jaw jumped.

Johnny took a breath and added, “What you’ve done to this place, and you – you know, with all these women around on top of that, and – and I can’t imagine she approves of any of this. Is she – are you not…?”

The Spider let out a sigh as he shifted to face to Johnny. He drew the backs of his knuckles down Johnny’s cheek, then cupped his face almost lovingly as he leaned in.

“I missed you, firefly,” he said. “I want to make you comfortable here. But if you ever say my wife’s name again, I’ll throw you into the ring and make Ben watch while my people rip you to shreds.”

Johnny swallowed hard. It was almost ludicrous, hearing those words come out of Peter’s mouth, but this one said it like he meant it. Johnny had to wonder – did he know? Had his world’s Johnny been through the same things he had?

Johnny remembered the arena, the heat of the Negative Zone’s alien air, the dirt beneath his feet as he squared his stance and readied himself to face whatever Annihilus had chosen to kill him that day. But this wasn’t the Negative Zone, and there would be no worms to bring him back.

He breathed in deep and cranked the tiny bit of his dying fire up a couple hundred degrees. The Spider’s skin sizzled as he yanked his hand away with a shout.

“I get it, Pete,” Johnny said, staring at him as the Spider bent over his burnt hand. “We won’t have any problems.”

The Spider swore, staring down at his red and blistered skin. Then, abruptly, he started to laugh. He leaned back against the sofa, away from Johnny, his injured hand cradled to his chest.

“You know, I’ve always liked you,” he said. “Even when we were dumb kids and I was pretending I didn’t. You just get me, Johnny. You can go now, by the way.” The switch had flipped again, the laughter faded, and an almost bored look crossed Peter’s face. He flapped his uninjured hand, dismissive. “Leeds will show you to your quarters.”

“I want to see Ben,” Johnny said.

Peter picked up his wine glass with his good hand. “And you will. When you’ve proven I can trust you.”

The first half of this fic is totally written, by the way, and I've been on the fence because I think maybe posting it will make me more motivated to just finish the scenes that are missing from the second half, but I don't usually post unfinished fic at all, so I'm sort of not sold on the idea. Kind of depends on what people want, I guess, because the first half really is totally ready to go.

NHK Trophy Women’s SP

1. Evgenia Medvedeva: Wow. She’s just so consistent. It’s scary how consistent she is. I absolutely loved watching her program. The jumps were all really good, (though she did have to fight a bit for the 2A), the spins were beautiful, I loved the transitional elements. For me, everything just worked. The dress was beautiful, the music worked (except for that ‘Come Back’ which I find pretty.... weird/scary). All in all, I'm so happy for Evgenia!

2. Carolina Kostner: This woman defies all logic and ageing in general. How does she skate so incredibly well at 30! Her jumps are so beautiful, her Camel Spin was absolutely beautiful. This program is absolutely divine and it was so beautiful. I just wish that her base value was higher but in any case, the program was absolutely stunning! This program has already grown on me and I’m just in love with this program. I’m just so happy and in love with this program! 

3. Polina Tsurskaya: These Russian girls just keep on coming don’t they! But wow, I think that was absolutely incredible! Honestly, I think that this program was better than Kostner. But in any case, I’m just so impressed with her! I loved the interpretation of the music, her jumps were absolutely exquisite. I think the selection for the Russian ladies for the Olympics just got a trickier because she’s really made a very strong case for herself here. Just incredible. 

All in all, pretty incredible from these 3. However, I will say that I was pretty disappointed with the performance of the Japanese ladies. Based on the way the skating is going, Wakaba really looks like a lock in for the Olympic spot with barely anyone challenging her. Hopefully we’ll have incredible performances in the Free tomorrow.

(Side Note: How on this planet is Polina Tsurskaya the same age as me. I feel really useless now.)
