[wtfdoimake]

He’s soooo pretty when on ice, even though he sometimes skates like a newborn deer walking he just looks absolutely gorgeous.

The JERSEY jersey looks sooo good on him. Even when he’s making his silly faces. It’s one of my fav jerseys BUT HE MAKES IT LOOKS JUST ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

AT MICHIGAN??? My boy was a STUDENT!!! He can READ!!!!! Can he write, ehh. But we love a man with an EDUCATION (he basically dropped out)

TEAM USA LUKE? ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS?! Like I’m Canadian but WOAH WHEN IT COMES TO LUKE IM A RED BLUE AND WHITE BLOODED GUN LOVIN FLAG WAVIN AMERICAN RAHHHH USA USA USA 🇺🇸

And I can’t forget national anthem Luke. HELMET OFF, PANTIES OFF AMIRITE-?! Like dear lord baby Jesus he is SO GOOD LOOKING DURING ANTHEMS LIKE YES LUKE HELLO!! Like istg at my game I won’t even be paying attention to the anthem. Just looking at Luke. Even from the 300’s level. Letting those curls breathe ugh I love anthem Luke SO MUCH

this is my first time on here today but i’ve seen a bunch of people upset and sending hate to others because of the world juniors.

whether you’re upset that usa won or not, there are no fucking reasons you should be sending people hate directly or through anonymous messages, AND DO NOT LOOK UP ANYONE’S PERSONAL INFORMATION IF THEY ARE NOT COMFORTABLE SHARING IT. THERE IS A REASON THEY KEPT IT PRIVATE AND IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

i know i’m not an influential person in the hockey world, or on hockey tumblr, and i’m more than okay with that. that’s not at all who i’m trying to be. but i hope you will all listen when i say this: if you do not have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut!!!

thanks!!!

HAPPY WORLD JUNIORS TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE <3

i feel like sick because of the fact that i would go around saying “i love him” about some of these people and that they got to live in that fame while the victim had 6 YEARS waiting for this all to come out

The Bruins are effortlessly funny - or the aftermath of Poitras being sent home from the Juniors by the Czech team

"In case you don't know the Czech national anthem, Lauko will sing it for you. You have probably heard it at the end of the game." - Montgomery

Reference to this Twitter teasing from Lauko after Canada's loss:

i was trawling for world junior content, as you do, and saw this graphic on bardown. it's so interesting. take a careful look at the names:

if you're familiar with the players, you'll quickly notice that some of them have their diacritics included here, whereas some of them don't. i've made a little table to illustrate:

there seems to be no obvious pattern here. maybe notability? then explain why šalé is stripped and my dear 2nd pair D on the basement-dwelling kamloops blazers, matteo kočí, isn't. ročák of the kelowna rockets has his diacritics, while his teammate there, štancl, doesn't. two of the vojtěchs have theirs, while the other two don't. whether they play in europe or north america doesn't seem to matter either.

it'd be one thing if all of the names were naked, as i'd honestly expect from bardown, and a really unexpected and pleasant surprise if all the diacritics were present and correct. but they're not, and i think the inconsistency is maybe even more of an issue than if the person behind this graphic had never clicked on the special characters box at all. it kind of lulls you into a certain sense of security when you see some of them there (and if you're unfamilar enough with czech names to not know that tomas should be tomáš). you trust that this graphic is delivering accurate spelling. if the first name your eye lands on looks like vojtěch čihař, then hell, i guess matej mastalirsky must be fine, eh?

and diacritics are important. they're not just pretty decoration—they convey vital information about pronunciation. even if you don't know exactly what they mean, they help you twig to the fact that a particular name or word isn't said the way you might want to say it. and fundamentally, it's about respect. matěj maštalířský's name is just that, every stroke included.

if only bardown wouldn't confuse us this way!

by the way, here's slovakia:

have you ever seen such a sad bunch of denuded names in your life! except róbert fedor, he's special and they like him.

it's also worth noting that bardown did give the swedes and finns all of their applicable diacritics.

so who made these graphics and prepetrated these seemingly inexplicable inconsistencies? who's behind me staying up til 5 am making tables in microsoft word?

i need to know!
