#marc would enjoy the physicality of the celebrations SO much and his goal cellys would be STUPID

[moonshynecybin]

one thing for sure : Marc would have been made captain early on à la Toews/Sid/Connor

(and you know people would doubt him at the beginning, say he’s too young and not captain material, etc)

this is so funny because it would be like. 19 year old marc too. baby. if we’re going off of youngest ever nhl captain. imagine rocking up to training camp and there’s marc with his acne and his black eye giving you the shark eyed stare in between honk laughs. crosby-esque in that regard…

i DO love this scenario because i think it works to heal a fundamental wound in marc which is how his ability/desire to compete kind of isolates him… he CAN work on a team he LOVES working on a team but if he’s in competition with you he’s not gonna hold anything back… so folding him into a hockey team where it’s all about building those lasting friendships that actually HELP you compete is going to be sweet… i still think he has a bit of that alien isolation (again pulling on sid here for some reason lol) but it’s mitigated which is niceee

HONESTLY in that same vein i can see the vale fallout coming where they’re on the SAME team marc’s rookie/sophomore year and then they have to compete at the olympics and marc is a SHARK and that’s what fucks them up… marc hits vale hard on the forecheck and it’s all like YOU KICK MIETTE? from there on out until vale leaves the team and in the playoffs shit hits the fan (to pull on sid AGAIN. injuring claude giroux’s wrists at the face-off dot in 2012 and being absolutely unrepentant)… BUT. BEFORE the divorce. can we all just take a minute and think about the cellys…. marc’s smiling face pressed into vale’s jersey while vale shakes him around with a noogie on the head and then pats him on the ass… COMPLETELY ignoring their lineys… nasty…
