Vladik’s official reference sheet yes that’s a crochet hook as his needle.  There’s a reason for it.  He has a lot of details to his body that I’m willing to explain via Asks.

The Legend
Dear @youcantdothatpod
Hello, Hockey Coven, it is I, one of the two responsible for the Pierre-Édouard Bellemare DreamBoat Manifesto of old, penning this under my normal Tumblr journal instead of the hockey one for no good reason, and I come to you, with respect, and with full knowledge of certain coven members love of Russian players (though this one is not a Siberian) to ask for either a history lesson or dream boat nomination for my guy - for having an interesting life, to say the least. He is my favorite Russian player. Yes, possibly even over Ovi. 
And yet he never made the NHL.
Oh. My. GOD. some listeners must be thinking at this point. Why even BOTHER with this guy??? he’s not in the fucking NHL!
(And can I just say, in this case, we must never be the Bettmans of the hockey world, who was bloated with hubris thinking to bring hockey like a Messiah to the unenlightened Asian continent a few years back [ha ha fuck off, they’ve had hockey here as long as the NHL has existed? I live in Japan btw] and we must not think that the NHL is the end-all-be-all of hockey aspiration. It wasn’t. It isn’t. Times were different. There wasn’t even a KHL at the time our story begins.)
I bring him to your attention because he is THE BEST.
Tumblr media
His story begins in the Siberian IHL, passing a pretty tough try-out as a kid to start playing for the Red Army team, CSKA Moscow.
I feel like I ought not throw in all his info here? Maybe just a few highlights? And some comments. Ok who am I kidding it will get long.
Here: Vladislav Tretiak.
Tumblr media
Vladislav Aleksandrovich Tretiak, goalie, current president of the IIHFR.
He won a lot of shit. I’ll just link the Wiki here - it’s a list.
Tumblr media
He looks kinda like Spock, but in the best red-blooded ways, not that I would ever judge anyone for wanting to get freaky with a green-blooded half-alien. His goalie training looks a lot like cossack dance.
(MUTE THIS VIDEO THO)
youtube
There’s some other worse quality vids of him doing similar and playing with his son, so. There’s that. Skip ahead to the tennis ball part.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrfOsCVakvs
He started hockey kinda late, at age 11.
And Canadian hockeys LOVED him. *See below pic of jersey swap with Wayne Gretzky for proof.
Tumblr media
Really, you gasp. Say it ain’t so! Impossible!!!
Truth.
How did the so-called hockey world (which of course was based in NA according to old boring hockey men) discover this Dumbo-eared wunderkind? The 1972 Summit Series.
Tumblr media
(Yes, he grew his hair out and covered the mudflaps, and it was MUCH BETTER, sorry Vladdy.)
Tumblr media
‘Ho hum,’ said the Canadians, ‘Russia thinks they are good at hockey, how ‘bout we have the Summit Series and quash their pretensions? That gold medal in Sapporo? a FLUKE. Ha ha, look at their goalie, this will be a cakewalk, he let in EIGHT GOALS in this game we just saw, oh well, let’s go have a beer and light up a dart, eh, boys? Eight games, pfft. We’ll sweep them.’
Joke was on them - Vladdy or Vladik was gettiing married the next day and weirdly? Couldn’t concentrate.
Summit Series ended up with one tie, 3 Russian wins and 4 Canadian, with the Canadians playing their dirty rough style, and the Russians their smooth, machine-cog style. That series was a gongshow of biased refereeing, Russian goal judges not turning on goals lights, and teams leaving the bench to have Canadian or Russian tantrums. Actual ankle-breaking occured.
Canadians had two goalies. Russian had one. He was 20. My boy. He KILLED it. And to say the Canadians were pretty horned about about this alien cheekboned man-child after expected a blow-out? MASSIVE understatement, HUGELY horny. As they should have been. Ken Dryden LOVED him. Jacques Plante himself, maybe feeling sorry for the kid, came and talked to him before the tournament started and let him know how different players would try to score. ‘A big help,’ Vladdy said. ‘I don’t know why he did that.’  LOTS of players were in awe. Canada was turned upside, Toronto became Tijuana and nothing was ever the same. The Interest in Russian Players was, officially, a Thing. (Kharlamov was a big part of the interest but that’s a whole ‘nother story.)
Tumblr media
The horniness was, in fact, so uncontainable that several NHL teams expressed an interest, and one team was bold enough to draft him in 1983, when he was the ripe age of 31, which at the time was not TOTALLY hockey-old for goalies and players like it is now. Yes, the Habs. Consider that 3 years later rookie Patrick Roy backstopped the Canadiens to several Stanley Cups, and imagine what they could have been even earlier, with Tretiak. HOooooO.  Serge Savard hit up Moscow four times during the winter of ‘84 to try and secure his release.
Russian wouldn’t let him go, of course. Tretiak was a only lieutenant-colonel in the Soviet army, and not playing the high level hockey he had previously, and thusly COULD be replaced in the system. Soviet officials ultimately vetoed a transfer. “Oooh his dad was a major, how can we let this son of a distinguished man go and play HOCKEY, it’s a disGRACE!” Or at least that’s what we were told. Okay, Jan.
Tumblr media
He quit playing at age 32. Thirty fucking two!!!  He’d done his 4th Olympics in a row by this point in 1984, and had the honour of carrying the flag for his nation, though he said it was probably because no one else had done 4 Olympics in a row. He wanted to spend more time with his family, and asked Tikhonov, coach of the national team and CSKA to let him have, ya know. Quality family time. (You’ll remember this douche from previous Russia Hockey Stories.) Tikhonov said, no, you live at the compound like everyone else for 11 months of the year. Ah ha ha.
Roll back a few years, for a grudge. Tretiak, if you’ll recall from the Miracle on Ice, was pulled from the game against the Americans by ol’ Tikky after letting in ONE (1) goal in the first period. All the Russians knew, but would never say until much much later, what a massive mistake that was - and you know the Miracle story anyway. Tretiak said himself it was a mistake, and he wouldn’t have lost the game. 
So, all things considered, in spite of having loads of playing life left in those kicky legs, Tretiak noped out and retired, for the reason of  being denied time with his family. And not getting to go abroad to play, which was probably a bitter pill and so quitting while he was still useful was a good Fuck You to the officials who used him up like a tissue playing hockey for his team and country. And of course, he was exhausted. At age 32.  "I'd played fifteen years with the Army Club and the National Team without a break. Backup goalies came and went, as did three generations of forwards and defensemen, but through four Olympic Games, all the important ones with the professionals, all the World Championships, all the Izvestia tournaments, it was I who played in the net."
Tumblr media
Frankly, he should have just defected like others did later. Sent his family to watch him in a tournament and done a Sound-of-Music-esque Von Tretiak escape out the Zamboni exit, over the mountains and far away.
Tumblr media
He would have been the first if he had. One of the most famous players in Russia, leaving for a career in the corrupt West. I’m glad he at least thought about it a little, even if it never happened. God, that would have been great. I’m glad that the NHL were able to pull their xenophobic heads from their asses enough to know greatness, and to want that brilliance shining on their teams.
But really, in the end, the man done him dirty. “In spite of aggressive discussions with Soviet authorities, Canadiens' general manager Serge Savard was unable to secure Tretiak's release for Montreal. "I would have loved to play in the Forum," Tretiak admits. "I was hoping to one day play in the NHL. I would have liked to do it even for just one season. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. I regret not having the chance." “
Still, the NHL and hockey in NA didn’t forget him. There were laurels left to be given.
He was the first Russian to be inducted into the HHoF, and the first to be entered without ever having played in the NHL.
Was he done with hockey? Heck no. Remember when I said Canadians loved him? It may have been mentioned a time or five.
In 1988, hockey royalty got married - Wayne Gretzky and Janet Jones. Befitting royalty, her dress cost $40,000, and gifts filled three rooms of the hotel. Notably, amongst them was a gold swan from a certain Soviet goalie Vladislav Tretiak. Why??? Swans are good luck, said Vladdy. They mate for life. And lo, the couple is still together.
In 1990, Mike Keenan hired him to be a goalie coach for the Blackhawks, and was (again) so turned on by his mastery that he suggested the 38 year could still play in the NHL? Vladik laughed and said no, but coaching was the next best thing. He worked with the best - Belfour, Hasek, Thibault, and you’ll be shocked that loads of tendies wear his #20 in tribute. He runs - or ran? website not updated in a while - the most challenging goalie school in NA in Toronto in summers.
He worked with the ‘Hawks until 2007, and then went on to be a pillar in Russian hockey leadership. Coach. Etc.
Tumblr media
He wrote a book, which was really what got me into Russian hockey - it was wild to me at the time when I read it in high school some (Cough cough) years ago, so alien. But it’s chock full of the stories you love. His first coach Tarasov, wanted him because he was ‘tall’ (6′ is tall in Russia???) and had ‘huge hands’ and reminded him of Jacques Plante. The book’s pretty frank about hockey history and the role ‘Miracle on Ice’ played into a kind of American propaganda, which is refreshing. He was politely horrified by seeing Canadian players smoking. His training was bonkers, and included tree-climbing at speed. The Russian team was always trying new stuff, and one time decided on sports psychology, which a teammate helpfully volunteered Vladik for, ‘He’s the most important player, he’s the last defence, work with him!’ (since no one else wanted to). The positive thinking mantras seemed to work as at the next practice they were amazed by his clean play and kicks. But lol, no, next game he got blown out, and was probably glad to send the sports shrink on the way.
And he was crushed  when his teammate, Valeri Kharlamov, with whom he played so long, died at the young age of 33 in a car accident. But Kharlamov is a guy for another section of Hockey Histories.
So. This dream boat.
Tumblr media
Ok. I know y’all prefer a defection story, and I think some listeners also? But. Here’s the thing. It’s sexy and romantic but also traumatic as fuck to ditch your country, your life in that political climate, to play the game. And dangerous,  shit man. 1983. U.S.S.R.!!! People still got disappeared! It was fine to treat players like garbage and lock them up for months in a compound and not let them see family! And I sometimes get the feeling that people consider the NHL the pinnacle, like, what a fool is Tretiak? who wouldn’t throw away everything to play NHL hockey? But that’s like, Bettman thinking, that the NHL is the best and perfect when we all know it’s fucking garbage, I know the current KHL has issues, SO MANY it would be a three hour podcast to talk about! So there’s no high ground, really. And in the end, Vladislav Tretiak made a choice that did good by himself, going on to a successful post-hockey career and the upper echelons of Russian hockey, and did well by his family, and of course, being patriotic is sexy, as anyone screeching at their team during the current World Cup of hockey knows. It’s okay that he stayed there. It’s fucking sexy NOT to defect, sometimes. Dude was a champion either way, his life is not a tragedy or lesser for not having played in the NHL and I really want people to know that. 
"For me, it was all, and all of it is with me forever."
Yes, there is life and hockey beyond the NHL. 
Tumblr media
And it’s beautiful.

Shaders Realistas Minecraft Windows 10

Shaders Realistas Minecraft Windows 10 Mod
Shaders For Minecraft Pc On Windows 10
Tumblr media
Do you want to install Minecraft Windows 10 Shaders? If yes, then you are ta the right place. Minecraft doesn’t have elegant and high-end graphics. As it is a game made of blocks however, users easily make it seems much better than it does out of the box having texture packs. Texture packs are the best but if you need to add a hyper-real look to Minecraft. Then shaders are the way to go. Come let’s take a look at how to install Shaders on Minecraft UWP for Windows 10.
Tumblr media
Minecraft (Bedrock codebase) MCPE-112953; My shaders aren't working in my Minecraft for Windows 10.
Drag and drop the shader file (.zip) to the Shaderpacks folder inside your Minecraft directory. Download a PBR texture pack of your choice. Drag and drop the PBR texture pack to the resourcepack folder inside Minecraft directory. Enable Specular2PBR conversion in the Shaders configuration screen.
Shaders for Minecraft UWP
There aren’t many Shaders available for Minecraft UWP. But those shades that are built for the Java model can’t work with the UWP model of the game. However, it means your choices are going to be reduced. Also, you can still find some good looking shaders for the game. Just remember it is built for the UWP version or Windows 10 of the app. For the post, we’re going with the Chocapic Shaders. Just move ahead and view for any other shader and install it. It will install as a .mcpack file.
Shaders Realistas Minecraft Windows 10 Iso
Install Shaders for Minecraft UWP
Move to the folder that you installed the Shader to. By default, it will be analyzed as a file that you can open with Minecraft. Double-tap it and it will open Minecraft. You will then view a ‘Import Started’ message.
It takes a few seconds so you must view another text saying you the import was successful.
Abremee; ) Top 5 mejores Shader para Minecraft de Windows 10 Download: Textu. The first step to installing Minecraft shaders is to download and install Optifine. Optifine is a mod that optimizes Minecraft and makes it run better (for more mods you should install, check out our list of the best Minecraft mods). 'minecraft windows 10 edition shaders pack' Texture Clear filters. 69 Shaders Texture NEXT-GEN Shaders HD All-round texture pack. 3 Shaders Texture.
Tap the Settings button on the game’s welcome screen and then choose ‘Global Resources’ from the left column. On the right, you will view the Shader that you included. Choose it, and tap the plus button to include it. Move to the main screen.
However, the Shader takes a few seconds to load but when it does, the world view behind the buttons will completely modify to reflect the Shaders that you included. Move ahead and load up a world to play in.
Uninstall Shaders
If you want to delete a shader from Minecraft. Then simply unload it so that the default texture loads or you can uninstall it fully. If you want to unload a shader, head over to Minecraft, tap the Settings button. Then from the left column, choose Global Resources. In the right pane, choose the Shader and tap the minus button under it. This will unload it.
If you want to uninstall it, simply click the Win+R keyboard shortcut to reopen the Run box. Input the following, and click the Enter key.
Shaders Realistas Para Minecraft Windows 10
When the folder opens, move to the following location and remove the shader from the ‘resource_packs’ folder.
PackagesMicrosoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbweLocalStategamescom.mojangresource_packs
Drawback
Shaders Realistas Minecraft Windows 10 Mod
Vladik shibanov videos. Unfortunately, Shaders slow down Minecraft or they need a more capable system for the game to run perfectly or smoothly. You probably view the UWP model to slow down after installing a shader.
However, Minecraft UWP shader is identical to a texture pack with some distinction. These distinctions are more pronounced on the Java model but not too much with the UWP version. You will have to organize your own expectations here.
Conclusion:
Here’s all about “Install Minecraft Windows 10 Shaders”. Is this article helpful? Have to ever try to install it? If yes, share your experience with us in the comment section below! Let us know your thought in the comments section below!

“May I ask why I needed to leave Vladik for this particular run?” Manya never, ever did a run or go anywhere without her horse close by. Most people would say she had unhealthy attachment to the animal. But there was a deeper meaning to it, but no one would ever understand it. Still, when Glenn wanted her to go a hunt with him she was all for it. If she was honest she hated staying in the walls on Alexandria.
 She didn’t even want to join to start with, thinking they were all in some sort of illusion that if they stay in this so called safe zone they would be okay. And yes, they had solar panels that helped them have electricity and what have you it still didn’t change the fact this was still a world that was overrun by walkers. Things will never be like they once were. She walked along side him, weapon equipped on her person. Eyes scanning for anything or anyone to pop out to attack.

The Vladimir Petrov story!
This Highly Anticipated Piece of Lore In The Timeline, It Is Finally Here 
As the eldest in the group, Boris and Valeri have done quite a bit before debuting with Thin Ice. Most if not all their performances before Thin Ice they did together, along with fellow trainee Vladimir Petrov, who from now on we will refer to as Vladik, which is his friends’ nickname for him. The three debuted together as a group in 2010, and over the eight years, they appeared and performed in various competitions and shows. Along the way the three all became close friends with one another. (later update: I’ve changed a bit of the lore, these three were a group after all! Because, it is possible for idols/artists to debut with multiple groups-) 
Over the years, Vladik grew more reckless, and was eventually involved in incidents related to drugs, car accidents, and destruction of property. Unfortunately, Boris didn't pick up on this until later on when it was getting very bad. At this point, he (along with Valeri) tried everything they could to help Vladik back on the right path, but ultimately failed. In November 2018, Vladik’s fate was sealed. He was to undergo intervention, and would be pulled out of songs, choreographies, and performances for the time being until his intervention course finished. 
Hearing of Vladik’s fate hit his family and friends hard, but few were hit harder than Boris. The news struck him with guilt that he couldn’t or didn't do enough to keep his friend - one he grew to care about so much - out of danger. 
This friendship as well as Vladik’s eventual carelessness had a lasting effect on Boris. Since then, he has become a more serious leader and constantly makes sure his friends stay out of trouble, so that what happened to Vladik doesn’t happen to them. Even beforehand, Boris was often a leader to his peers, guiding them and making sure they were on task and that everyone was alright. But he didn't often monitor said peers very closely in the face of more precarious tasks, which his witnessing Vladik’s downfall firsthand ultimately changed. 
Yes, I really want Vladik to eventually reconcile with Boris and Valeri... and that arc I will get around to coming up with and talking about too!

Valeri, on the phone with Boris: Yes, everything is fine, I promise! You have fun on your night out, Borya!
Boris: Are you absolutely sure?
Valeri, holding Alexei under one arm and restraining Viacheslav with the other, watching Musya perform a ritual with Yuna in the center of her pentagram: Yes, of course I'm sure!
Boris: And are you sure Vladimir and Vasily didn't just disappear again?
Valeri, spotting Sergei looking all over the dorm for Vladimir and Vasily: Yeees
Boris: And are you also sure Vladik didn't knock Volodya out in a game of live action Fortnite again?
Valeri, staring at Aleksandr frantically shaking Volodya's unconscious body and screaming: Yyyyeeees
Boris:
Boris: Valera, put Volodya on the phone
Valeri, quietly: I really don't want to
