#lot Pittsburgh

[butterflyrry]

Been struggling to find the words to express my feelings about H and the conclusion of Love on Tour but here goes:

5 shows

3 venues

2,616 miles driven

$$$$$ spent on tickets/travel/merch

1 chicken nugget thrown on stage

1 fly undone for six songs

4 Medicine performances

1 Kiwi x3 performance

1 hat kicked onto his head

Tons of singing, dancing, laughter, screaming, pride flags, boas, bananas, butterflies, sunnies, rainbows, sparkles, and pure joy

A million tears cried listening to SOTT, Fine Line, Little Freak, and Matilda live

Infinite happy memories to last a lifetime

1 incredible tour

My heart is both full and broken. I’m grateful for the experiences but sad that it’s over. Happy that H can take a well-deserved break but knowing how much I’ll miss him.

I can’t predict the future. I don’t know what he’ll do or how long he’ll be gone. I don’t know if he’ll ever be able to replicate this era of his career again or if he’ll exceed it. What I do know is I plan on being here when he gets back, be that in a few months or a few years.

To H, I would say: thank you for the music, thank you for the love, thank you for the memories but most of all, thank you for being you. I hope you never stop bringing light into this world.

Love on Tour, forever

What made Geno your fave?

Oh boy!

For background, I started watching hockey in fall of 2009. I was bored over the summer and decided to get into a new sport. I’d never cared about hockey because my family didn’t follow it (we are football and basketball people), so I had no particular team I had allegiance to, so I did what any reasonable prospective fan would do: I looked up the most recent championship team and scanned their roster for hot guys.

There was Sid, of course. About my age, captain, and oh he’s cute, ok I can work with that. I did some research on his story and found it fascinating, because who doesn’t love a good golden boy narrative? A promising start.

Jordy Staal was also really cute to me, and Flower was pretty. And then we got to Geno, who the first picture I really remember seeing of him is one where he was smiling big, and as we all know he has the BEST smile.

After that, his backstory was just as interesting to me as Sid’s, in a totally different way. I mean, it sounds like a spy thriller, right? It’s crazy. And then he won the MVP that playoffs, and the highlights were up on YouTube, and wow, look at him skate. Look at him and Sid skate together, wow they’re so good. Look how Geno spins and cuts through guys out there, look how quick he is, how fast his hands are moving the puck.

I knew fuck-all about what I was watching but his skating style is so distinctive that I was able to pick him out on grainy 2009 and earlier footage with ease; let me tell you, focusing on ONE player for a full game or even period is such an underrated way to learn the sport. You see what they do when they don’t have the puck and it helps you figure out strategy, how plays develop, what defense is. Highly recommend.

He was still pretty quiet with the media then and I don’t think he was on Twitter yet, but he seemed funny and cute and I really liked his accent! And all the guys seemed to be friends, and I love that in a sports team.

It was summer so I watched a lot of the Pens’ old YouTube features. I learned about Mario and Jagr and the first set of back to back cups, and Sid’s draft, and how the team almost left the city. I learned about the rivalries with other teams, and the way the league worked, and what a salary cap is, and all the different penalties. And as it got closer to the start of the 09-10 season, I watched the road to the cup video for the run I’d just missed (it’s on YouTube now!) and there was that shot of Geno looking up, you know the one, with his scar, and that was my tipping point. The coverage of him in the Carolina series just sealed it.

He fascinates me. He’s shy but loud, funny but so publicly emotional. He’s flawed as hell but he tries so hard. He’s arrogant but he deserves to be, and he’ll never ever allow anyone to give him credit for when he’s playing well, he deflects. He’s accurately predicted the future twice. He’s so loyal it’s to the point of folly, almost. He has an unbelievable smile and rescues alley cats and is scared of big dogs. He’s a bully who’s never met a charity he didn’t contribute to.

And holy shit can he skate. Holy shit does he play beautiful, brutal hockey. He’s vicious with his stick and graceful with his hands.

And, yeah, he’s hot. That’s important to me too and I’m not sorry about that!

Anyway, I like him a lot. Thanks for sending me this ask and letting me talk about why :)

hey, love you and all your posts!!! just wanted to note that your "nice stache" drawing has alt text that mixes up Jake Middleton (who has a very nice stache) with Joel Eriksson Ek (who has no stache at all, alas). sorry to be annoying!!! (also, nominating Known Nice Stache Haver Filip Forsberg for the nice stache club! 🥸)

MASSIVE thanks to you!! both for enjoying my posts and for noticing, i dont know my wild players LOL

did you know filip forsberg is the only one in this drawing to have not played for the sharks?

(but seriously, pointing out mistakes with alt text makes everything more accessible, dont apologize for helping out like that, alright? <3)
