it can't rain all the time

today’s hockey term of the day: dick trick.

a dick trick is an unofficial way of referring to when a player scores four goals in one game.

term originated from joe thornton, who plays for the san jose sharks, when he was asked about tomas hertl scoring a dick trick:

why a dick trick? cos it rhymes nicely. (+ level up from a hat trick, which is when a player scores three goals in one game).

+ a more in depth explanation (ty @chaospitals​):

shortly after this, players tweeted in response to both marleau’s dick trick + thorntons comments:

ANYWAYS the term has now become a casual, unofficial term used throughout the internets:

Notice how the wife is in the background waving for help before she plans to toss her son into the river, she wishes the husband would look at her, but the husband only cares for MEAT– pay attention to these themes for they will show up later.

wife is still in the background and MEAT is still in the foreground, but she is happy this time in her virginal white dress and all is right with the world. There son has yet to be tossed into the river.

TWO children now with a girl child learning to dispense not only MEAT but alcohol, the wife is in the background, but her smile is frozen and stiff on her face. She knows what the raggedy anne doll at the bottom knows.

everyone is so fucking HYPED for this new meat STICK– no longer limited to the round, finite circle. The father is the most excited of all. Watch as friend Tommy enters the scene from the background and the wife is now wearing pink instead of white. She will never return to her perfect unknowing ways.

1950s gay fucking panic. the circular meat is burning. the wife is wearing red. Jimmy and Tommy are going to go on a “fishing trip” and he won’t look her in the eye when they return. The other wife in white lives in ignorance, but not for long as DOUBT enters her expression.

the wife has finally taken center stage. She sets the table without looking at her husband who stands guiltily with his weird magic stick in the background. The daughter rushes away from her brother who has emerged from the river to hover across the ground and seek vengeance.
