"you just hit the puck and what happens, happens."

AND THAT MEANS ARTTURI LEHKONEN SCORED NOT ONLY THE GOAL THAT SENT HIS TEAM TO THE STANLEY CUP FINAL... BUT ALSO THE STANLEY CUP WINNING GOAL

Ok hear me out you’re a first overall pick who’s entire career trajectory was destroyed by a single tragic injury. traded to a wet pathetic mouse of a team. built a new team around yourself and some weird Swedish 18 year old. underperform be called a draft bust figure out your place and anchor yourself to it. stand back up from nothing build from nothing watch your friends and teammates request trades away because they think they can do better elsewhere watch your friends and teammates get traded away even though they wanted nothing more than to stay. be the rock the foundation the stability for the young fast superstar talent the new players (who you used to be who you could have been who you can never be) but be there so they can anchor themselves on something reliable something strong. be the anchor to a new team coming back time and time again coming back from injury coming back from heartache coming back always always always coming back
