One More Sad Song

I’ve spent the last 21.5 hours searching for the perfection .gif to capture my feelings about hockey.

Team USA won.

Canada almost lost to Latvia.

Then they won.

But John Tavares left the game with a leg injury.

And didn’t return.

Now he’s out for the rest of the NHL regular season with a torn MCL. [link]

When the US and Canada face off tomorrow at 12 PM EST, there will be no John.

None of this face.

tavares2

None of these no teeth.

tavares8

No shorts.

tavares3

No bromantical matching outfits because it’s Wednesday and on Wednesday, we wear sweatpants.

tavares4

No jeans, or dream worlds I live in where Tavares and Crosby are friends who hang out and watch History Channel.

tavares5

No two-strapping backpacks.

tavares9

No rocking a huge access credential like the latest in runway couture.

Basically, no joy in the world.

Okay, maybe it’s not that bad.  Not unless you’re an Islanders fan facing the rest of your regular season without the captain.  I’m being weepy and melodramatic because it’s just so very unfair.  Second overall in NHL points, potentially on his way to another Hart nomination, Olympic semifinal game… sigh.

But John wouldn’t want us to wallow.  He would want us to focus on the game.  I’ll turn my attention to hiding under my desk and eating my feelings because if you thought I was pro-Canada before, I’m going to be a mess tomorrow.

Maybe John will make it to the game.  I tore my ACL but could get into a chair (with immobilizer) the next day.  Will PK play?  Or will he serve a higher purpose in the press box?

While I’m dreaming through tears, why not ask for everything?  In-game, off-ice is the perfect place to debut glasses.  It worked for that other guy.

Anything would help right now.

    Can Stammer bring some of that Wolverine potion to John and maybe he gets back for the playoffs? Maybe?

    I never cared about John Tavares until I started reading this site and now I care *too much*. Poor John. Wishing him a speedy recovery 🙁

    I completely agree with Kate… this blog persuaded me to have a crush on him too and I never watch Islander games so the Olympics was a perfect chance….those .gifs are perfection! My best friend and I have always said we hated those type of sweatpants on guys….but he rocks them so well! 🙁
