Farewell to the King

 

While I have spent waaaaay too much time on social media today, pointing out what a piece of shit Donald Trump is...I have had moments of distraction...Not just keeping up on my kids virtual schooling, but also because my favorite hockey team, the New York Rangers bought out the last year of goaltender, Henrik Lundqvist's contract... 

Lundqvist spent his entire 15 year career with the Rangers after he was picked by them in the 7th round of the 2000 draft...In those 15 seasons Hank racked up 459 Wins, 64 Shutouts, a .918 Save Percentage and a 2.43 Goals Against Average...His stats have him in the all-time elite NHL goalies, and he will undoubtedly be a first ballot Hall Of Famer...

He also helped lead Sweden to an Olympic Gold Medal in 2006 and Silver in 2014...

Lundqvist was the heart and soul of the Rangers team during his time their...He fell in love with living in New York city and became the face and spokesperson for The Garden of Dreams Foundation...They work with Madison Square Garden and it's tenants putting on numerous charity events and have a "Make-a-Wish" like program for sick kids...In 2014, Lundqvist and his wife founded the Henrik Lundqvist Foundation...A non-profit organization that focusses on health and education for children and families....The HLF is an international grantmaking organization with  partners in New York City, Sweden and the Dominican Republic....

Henrik loved living and playing in New York and loved being a Ranger...When the team made it clear they were going to start a rebuild and move some pieces out for draft picks a nd prospects, Lunqvist said he wanted to stay and see it through...That's the type of heart and soul of the team guy he is...Now the Rangers have two, young, stellar, Goaltenders as well as young, talented, depth on the blueline and a handful of elite forwards...As well as this years #1 Draft Pick...

I understand the business move and the fact that he is a 38 year old goalie and you have two guys in their 20's ready to go...But I keep looking at this COVID world we are in and the uncertainty of how next season will go and I wonder if carrying three goalies might be good idea...Also, as fan I really wanted to see King Henrik finish his career as a Ranger and get a Cup as a Ranger...

Rangers-town will miss him dearly...

COVID 19 (blog 5)

"America, Fuck Yeah!"

Nothing gets Americans pupped up and full of pride and we can beat anything like a good ole show of military might...OK, so the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds aren't used in battle but Navy and Airforce jets flying over U.S. cities gets people charged up...

Aviator covered eyes,
Full balls, 
Can't lose!

(I'm copyrighting that shit and putting it on shirts!)

The thing is...While these flyovers may have turned up the National Pride...It also turned up the stupidity....

Nice "social distancing" assholes!

'Let's go see the jets flyover...They aren't really doing anything but flying, but lets go and crowd together with strangers and look up in the air...

Seriously, you people in New York and New Jersey, you see and hear aircraft all the time...I'm not trying to be an asshole and shit all over this act of patriotism and chest thumping...But being an asshole comes naturally....Also, these flyovers, cost $60,000 per hour...I think frontline workers would have appreciated that money being spent on equipment and testing instead chest planes flying above.

Especially when you fucking people are out there practically humping each other while looking at planes!...Way to go! Keep spreading the fucking COVID...But as long as your balls are full of patriotism so you can get your red, white and blue boner!

"America, Fuck Yeah!"
'COVID gonna kill more
Than the Vietnamese did!'


Have a day.
