Throwback: 'A Letter To My Wife During The Hockey Playoffs' hockey
A Letter To My Wife During The Hockey Playoffs
Dearest Love,
As you well know, you are the light of my life; you are my companion through the hills and valleys of this life. Being together with you and our children is what defines my very existence.
When I look into your eyes I still see the woman I fell in love with all those years ago and cannot wait for what life has in store for us next. When you are sleeping beside me at night I know the secret to the meaning of my life.
That said, tonight the NHL playoffs start and we won’t be seeing each other very often for the next few weeks.
The grass will not be mowed as often as you would like and I will not be available for helping with the kid’s bath and bedtimes. The vehicles will most likely only be washed when it rains and please remember to only talk to me during commercials.
I will prefer to watch the games on the big TV, so you will have to DVR your programs and watch them at other times.
Also, during this time I would prefer the refrigerator to be stocked with my favorite hockey-watching foods and beverages. A quick trip to the grocery store every now and then would really mean a lot to me.
Now, we both know that my work schedule will not allow me to watch every game live, so DVR-ing my games will take precedence over anything you would want to watch.
You should expect the living room to look a little more ‘lived in’ than usual, so a bit of extra attention there on your part would be great.
I would hope you have a good attitude when my friends and I wake you and the kids up with our late night yelling at the TV and high-fiving.
Remember that we’re a team and sometimes you need to go the extra mile for the sake of being a team-player.
You will find me to be very upbeat during this time, unless my team ends up losing early on; in which case I will be angry and depressed.
During the action, I will not be able to make it to the refrigerator, so I may need you to be ‘on call’ and bring out an occasional sandwich or drink.
Also, since most games start around 7:00 or 7:30, dinner should be ready no later than 6:30.
I know I don’t need to bring this up, but please try to limit your walking in front of the TV to zero times.
Remember, our love knows no bounds and is a light that never goes out.
Your Loving Husband

Panthers (26-12-5) @ Calgary Flames (19-19-2) 7:30PM COW-TIME
Projected Lineups
PANTHERS
Your starting line up, a guy who found out the hard way that a Sheepshank was a knot, a man who collected all the badges in Boy Scouts and a 3rd who got kicked out of Scouts for eating a Brownie: Jonathan Huberdeau, Aleksander Barkov and JAAAARRRRRRROOOOMIIIIRRRRRRR JAAAAAGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Coming in on the Silver line, the Thong Song was actually about this man’s mother, his line mate routinely plays it during the holidays to let everyone know what he’s wearing to dinner and another who only just now realized that the “Horizontal Mambo” was not an actual dance: Logan Shaw, Nick Bjugstad and BBBBBRRRRRAAANNNNNNNDOOONNNNN PIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIII
3rd up, you’ve got a winger who suggested the vuvuzela as the official instrument of the South African world cup as a joke, a guy who can really understand the Vine craze, because like they’re the thing that Tarzan swings on, he can’t possibly use a phone while he swings. That’s just preposterous. And a man who still refers to his manhood in the 3rd person: Reilly Smith, Vincent Trochek and JUUUUSSSSSIIIIIIII JOKINNNNNNNEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Breaking the bottom line like the SAT test scores in Alabama, you’ve got a guy who loves Samosas, a guy who hilarious asked for S’mores instead this one time in Bangladesh and a winger who is more of a drumstick kinda guy: Shawn Thorton, Derek Mackenzie and QUINNNNNNNNTTTOOOONNNNN HOOOOOOOOWWWWDDDDDEEEENNNNNNN
DEFENSE
The top D, they habitually talk to each other like 80’s buddy cop partners while they’re in public but on the ice only communicate by looks that would cause gall bladder cancer in lesser men: Erik Gudbranson and BRRRIIIIAAAAANNNNNN CCCCAAAAAMMMMPPPPPBBBBBBBBBBBEELLLLLL
One of these two D-Men still has his Mini-Disc player from the early 2000’s and the other has the oral capacity of exactly 63 shelled peanuts: Steve Kampfer and SMIIIIITTTTTRRRRYYYYY KUUUUUULLLLLIIIIKKKOOOOVVVVVVVVVVV
This man is easily startled by rodents and the other went through a phase where he would only eat things with chopsticks, including pudding and soup: Alex Petrovic and WILLLLLLIEEEEEEE MMMIIIITTTTTTCHHHHEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL
NET
He gets Princess Bride references on the daily, and the other actively pays people to use them: Al Montoya and your starting goalie RRRRROOOOOBBBBBEEEEEERRRRTOOOOOO LUUUUUOOOOOONNNNNGGGOOOOOO
FLAMES
He likes to express himself the only way he knows how, with dirtiest dangles this side of a senior’s re-enactment of Showgirls. This man skates so hard, when he stops the amount of snow left over would make Pablo Escobar salivate. And their line mate causes as much damage as the Medellín Cartel in their heyday: Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan and MIIIICCCHHHHEEEEAAAALLLLL FEEEERRRRRRLLLLAAAANNNNDDDDDD
This Left Winger’s Father is actually time, his center man was born from a long line of biathlon mid-placing participants and the last guys’ favourite Pokémon is Jigglypuff: Sam Bennett, Mikael Backlund and JJJIIIIRRRRRIIIIII HUUUUUUDDDDLLLLEEEERRRRRRRRRRR
A guy who could double as a villain in a Barbie cartoon, with his line mate at center is always way too excited about getting ice cream and a man who was shocked to learn that the 80’s Arnold film “Commando” wasn’t a documentary about his nether-region lifestyle choices: Mason Raymond, Markus Granlund and DAAAAVVVIIIIIIIDDDDD JJJJJOOOONNNNEEEEESSSS
This man is so proficient at Netflix and Chill he has a red refrigerator next to his bed, his line mate tried Tinder once but it matched him with a Fist and lastly a man looks like a third wheel: Josh Jooris, Brandon Bollig and MAAAAATTTTTTTT SSSSSTTTTAAAAAJJJJJJJAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN
DEFENSE
A man who sometimes forgets that “Fuck Tha Police” is only a song and his line mate who secretly wants to audition for America’s Next Top Beard Model: TJ Brodie and MMMMMMMAAAAAARRRRRKKKKKK GGGGIIIIOOOOORRRRRDDDAAANNNNNOOOOOOO
A man who knows all too well the power of the Dark Side and their delicious cookies, and a man who understands the importance of ensuring your jock strap is on correctly: Dougie Hamilton and KKKKKKRRRRRRRIIIIIISSSSSS RRRRRUUUUUSSSSSSSSSEEELLLLLLLL
This guy knows how to do stuff and when he does, boy does it make Grapes excited and with him a guy that can do stuff every so often, but not enough to be a top line D-Man: Deryk Engelland and DDDDEEEEENNNNNNNNIIIIIISSSSSS WWWWWIIIIDDDDDEEEEEMMMMAAAAANNNNN
NET
Even the wind takes a break sometime and it’s time for him to get his, Kari Ramo and a man who doesn’t know the meaning of the word consistent, your starting goalie tonight, JJJJOOOOONNNNAAAASSSSS HHHHIIIIIILLLLLLLLLEEEEERRRRRR

/r/hockey Ranks the 30 Starting Goalies hockey
A few weeks ago /r/NFL[2] voted to rank the 32 starting QBs. I thought it would be fun to do the same here on /r/hockey[3] and rank the 30 starting goalies from best to worst.
I've listed the starter for each team assuming every goalie is healthy. I went with Pavelec for Winnipeg because he has two more starts than Hutchinson, and has been the starter for a couple years.
All that said:
Obvious troll submission won't be counted. I'll count up the votes and post the results later. If you want, upvote the post for visibility and more responses.
