17 years together. through tanger's stroke, geno's knee reconstructions, and sid's concussions. still playing at an elite level. still so dedicated to each other that they all cut hometown deals to stay together in pittsburgh. 17 years. SEVENTEEN. no one is doing it like them!

So the official NHL Twitter posted this video

Blatantly glorifying the act of players who decide (are forced) to play while injured. While conveniently leaving out the fact that they drug these players to the high heavens to get them back on the ice cause they're in so much pain.

I don't understand how anyone can watch this and see it as some sort of motivational or inspirational video. I don't want these men permanently injuring themselves and messing up their systems with drugs just so I can be entertained by a sport. This is ridiculous.

I thought they were taking injuries more seriously but clearly they aren't. These men aren't soldiers.

I don't even wanna think about the up and coming underage players being brain washed by shit like this. We're suppose to be changing the league for the better, not glorifying the things that make it suck.

this doesn’t make me feel motivated or inspired. it makes me feel sick.

“he’ll be fine, he’s a hockey player” bullshit
