I. TRAGEDY STRIKES CANADA: Canada lost the World Junior Championships to Russia in a spectacular third period meltdown Wednesday night which, if you read the paper (and I do), might give the impression that it has sent the entire country into a tailspin of self-doubt and existentialism about our future. I didn't actually watch the game because a).

THE THING IS through my wanderings on the Internet, I am aware that the second season is going to take a sharp turn towards Simon/Alisha and I already resent them for intruding on Nathan and Kelly and Nathan/Kelly (I guess I ship it lol). Humph.

These were my EXACT thoughts after 2X02, not even kidding.

[goldy_dollar]

I already have so much resentment and annoyance and I haven't even watched on yet lol.

[sailedaway1]

I like Simon/Alisha now tho. I am not stanning for them like the rest of the fandom is but they are alright.
Nathan/Kelly, on the other hand... :'(

lol I love how it's THE WORST COLLAPSE IN CANADIAN HISTORY. lirl those poor kids will have to leave the country.

Yeah we have been over this but that is how I feel about Misfits as well. I was pretty impressed that they managed to make Nathan as 3-dimensional as he is, and I love Kelly and her relative ability to keep him in check. HOWEVER Simon is such a creepy motherfucker in s1 and the fact that the fandom and the show seem to have forgotten this entirely annoys me a lot.

[goldy_dollar]

LOL RIGHT. Aren't they all 16 and 17 or something? Poor kids. Did you read how the Russian team got kicked off their plane home for being "too rowdy?" LOL.

Yeah I am already judging Alisha so hard for getting it on with him... in the future. Or however it goes.

[_thirty2flavors]

Yeah they're all babies. And LOL YES they were drunk or something. lool

LOL ikr.

They've also managed to forget that Alesha is a rapist, so it all evens out :P

I too couldn't find a live feed for the world juniors but I'm not Canadian so I guess there just wasn't any for non-Canadian people.

Someone was liveblogging me though and ugh, that third quarter collapse sounds absolutely tragic. From what I have heard, it was Canadian defense (or lack thereof) striking again. At one point, the entire team except the goalie was on their side? Which might explain why scoring was easier?

But yes, I'm glad that if they had to lose, they lost to Russia. brb gearing up for 2014 drama.

I love Nathan and Kelly and my emotional trajectory for them was pretty much the same. Nathan is an ass but now I feel vaguely affectionate towards him.

If you ever have trouble finding hockey streams check out atdhe.net. There is a link at the top of the page for live sports events that will take you to a list of streams that night. Some might be in French though.

I second the rec for atdhe.net. It's what I usually use when my ISP isn't throttling my Internet.

Yeah, the whole thing was awful, and then to have to keep reading about it everywhere I turn. D:

YES. I just watched 2x03 and I am so annoyed at Alisha and Simon for now hogging all the screentime.

DON'T TALK ABOUT THE WORLD JUNIORS *cries hysterically*
I didn't flounce, I absorbed. By the end of the tournament I knew the history and family of all the players, watched footage of them on other teams and knew that the players all wrote Mandie Shwartz's name on their sticks -- which I can't even get into because her treatment isn't working and the family has taken her home. :(

THIS LOSS HURT ME ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MY SHRIVELED UP LITTLE SOUL.

Also, why have you flounced in general? We had a mid-season slump. So what? We do every year! Besides, you are not only missing our new offensive defenseman (Wisniewski. I call him the WIZARD) being awesome, but you missed a tense game against the Penguins last night that ended with Price being a badass Mo'Fo' with a pose and everything!

[goldy_dollar]

I AM SO SORRY BB. The whole thing was tragic and I hate that every time I turn around, I'm reminded of it.

I KNOW I KNOW AND I HOPE THEY ARE FINALLY PULLING OUT OF IT. But I am weak and my heart just can't take the slumps. It is a form of self-protection.

LOL THAT GIF. THAT IS THE PRICE WE KNOW AND CAME TO LOVE THIS SEASON. XD XD XD

We have however lost Gorges for the season. :( He has been playing with a torn ACL since junior and the trainers finally said enough is enough, you get the surgery or kiss your playing career goodbye. He and Markov will have to keep each other company in pysio for the next few months.

D:

[deathisyourart]

Yes, it is very scary to lose Gorgey, but he is being pragmatic about it, and the team did this not only for his own good, but also because we would like to keep him for a long time to come, not just this season -- this is GOOD NEWS because his contract is up at the end of this year, so if they are planning longterm then they want him to STAY \o/

In the meantime the team has told Weber to get an apartment, so he will help fill the open spots along with Subban and Picard. I think Gill might cry now that he has lost his penalty-killing partner though. :( We did good last night on the PK, so I am cautiously optimistic.

HUFFLEPUFF DESERVES ALL THE COOL PEOPLE! \O/

Sorry, I am just pleased someone is recognizing Hufflepuff as an awesome house rather than the "whatever" house *____*
