the bronco ad has mack references throughout for sure, but also let’s acknowledge the leno references: the right wing (leno’s position), the world juniors mention, plus the whole bronco of it all in the first place !
all v true but the difference is that all the mack references are promises from a lovesick present, to a golden future. a love letter to will’s and mack’s shared dream. while i fear all the leno references are a slap in the face. hauntings by the ghosts of the past.
i was only ever the center of your universe, but for him i’ll move to the wings (where once you stayed for me). you and i won gold together in the hockey memory dearest to my heart, while he and i didn’t even make playoffs this year; but i’d rather be a loser with him than a winner with you. watch me publicly announce my hockey marriage to your replacement! btw im gonna do it in your dream sponsorship, looking fine as fuck, while standing in front of a car that i only fucking bought bc of you!!!!!!
