#sharksposting

[magnetic-tide]

oh my god! i love that everyone's reactions were pretty consistently "silly mascot antic, sure hope the game starts soon" before transitioning incredibly quickly to "we are going to witness a horrific incident"

anyway, quotes under the cut

first of course sharks reactions

Minsky: You start seeing the players’ reactions. Scotty Bowman. Mike Ricci’s reaction is hilarious. Looking at him, you can see the words “dumbass” going through his head. Ricci: That does sound about right, yeah. I thought, that’s the first time I’ve seen this. It was funny at first, and then we were like, “Holy shit, if he goes down, it isn’t going to end well.”

2 rather different red wings reactions

Ward: The feeling on the bench transitioned to we might witness some guy die. The conversation went from “I wonder how they’re going to get him down,” to, “Oh my god, we’re going to witness a guy in a Shark outfit drop flat on the ice.” It wasn’t down in their end, it was right in front of us. We were going through all the possible scenarios of how this is going to end. Kris Draper, Red Wings forward: We were kidding around saying you know what, he’s not really in the way, let’s just start the game. He was high enough that it wasn’t going to be a factor. If someone flipped the puck and went up and hit him just play it like it’s the scoreboard, blow it down and go from there.

sj sharkie's thought process

Sharkie: The next thing for me was, how do I play this off and stay in character? How do I make it that people aren’t panicking? I knew in my mind that if I started to freak out that kids, families, people in the crowd, even our own staff would start freaking out. So I had to think to myself, how do I stay in character? How do I calm myself down? How do I make this funny so that it isn’t a nightmare for people to watch? There are times I’m chewing on the rope like I’m trying to free myself like a fish that was caught in a line, making hand gestures like scissors — because fans are pointing at you.

and then of course his rescue

Gold: The safety concern more than anything was obviously for him. He had been sitting there for 15 or 20 minutes. I think the circulation in his legs was gone by then. He was hurting. He was in bad shape. I’m really surprised that he left his gear on, but that’s Sharkie for ya. Minsky: I was absolutely worried. We were on the phone with the fire department wondering if we could get a fire truck through the Zamboni entrance with a ladder, and what does that look like? Gold: It took quite a while to figure out a game plan and how we were going to either bring him down or lift him up. We decided to lift him up because he was hurting at that point. Basically it was a tug of war, but only on one end. There were six to eight of us who just got on a rope and just started pulling him up. With that many people, you could pull somebody up pretty easily if there’s no restriction. But it was a pretty tense moment. Campbell: We lowered a rope down to Sharkie, and he tied it around chest and under his armpits, and took a wrap around himself, which is kind of a terrible thing. But to his credit, he tied something that obviously held. So that was pretty scary, because I didn’t know exactly what he was doing. Pollak: They had all the folks up in the rafters trying to bring him up there, and they got him pretty close to the top but his head kind of didn’t clear the landing that everybody was standing on. Of all the people standing on that platform, I thought they were all men, but one figure jumps over the railing and it’s a woman, and she’s the one who puts herself at peril because she’s not on the platform. Minsky: She jumps out on the catwalk, and she’s not tied to anything. She’s standing on a 94-foot high catwalk trying to pull him up from underneath. Gold: Terry is one of our union local riggers, and they are fearless when it comes to that kind of stuff. She knew what she was getting into. Campbell: You can see that he’s captured under the beam. And so I knew the only way to get him would be to get out on the beam and take ahold of the rope. That’s why I got out there. It’s what you call a mayhem rescue. I wasn’t on a harness or anything, but you can see I have like a death grip on the rail behind me. Sharkie: She went out and just put enough pressure on the rope to swing me out from under the beam so they could pull me up the rest of the way. If it was me, I wouldn’t go out there without a harness and a line.

will they let jornton down from the rafters before puck drop? or is he just going to be dangling up there while the game goes on?

Bianca: ah shit what's that song called?

Wednesday: I shall Shazam it

Yoko:...

Bianca:...

Divina:...

Yoko:... Does she know how to do that???

Enid (head in her hands, smiling and staring adoringly at Wednesday): No, not at all. She's going to write the song out as sheet music, transpose it to a minor key and slow it down, phone her parents and play it on the cello so they can identify it for her.

Yoko: I'll never understand how you two ended up together.

Enid (sighing): I know, me neither, she's just so perfect 💕

Yoko: That could not be further from what I meant.

Bianca: How the fuck did you just say the heart emoji out loud what the fuck

[kitnita]

sharks posters being nice to me in the tags of my Very Specific sharks posts hello ……. i think that when i went briefly insane about the equally brief jacob peterson sharks era there were maybe less people sharksposting …………. but unfortunately this is just What I Turn Into whenever one of noted stars goaltender jakob ‘jake’ ‘otter’ oettinger’s best friends gets traded to san jose 😭 which has happened twice now but. it’s a pattern! i am Here as long as delly is here which for rn is two years but hopefully the stray finds his forever home etc etc and i WILL probably be using that time to get invested in other guys

I think watching Devin Cooley's first ever game has made me irrevocably attached to him

that may cause problems for this game

[sharklovingcriminals]

Yoko: hey Enid, I know how hard thid is but we're going to have to move away from the coffin at some point

Enid: No I'll just wait here

Divina: Enid, it uh, it really seems like you haven't accepted what's happened and... listen, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but, Wednesday's gone.

Enid: She'll come back. She told me she'd come back, she said "Enid, I shall come back", so like, just wait til she comes back.

Yoko (sighing): right sure

Yoko: I think that we shou- OH MY GOD WEDNESDAY WHAT THE FUCK

Wednesday (brushing splinters of coffin from her shoulders): I have come back

Yoko: WELL FUCK ME THEN, I GUESS
