PrintAs many of you know, I mix in a lot of humor in my write ups because I like making people laugh. With today's news of Pavol Demitra and the Lokomotiv team's plane crashing, I don't have it in me to make jokes or put a light spin on the daily news. So I apologize for today's links as they won't be done, as I just honestly don't have it in me to make jokes or even think about other hockey news.
Instead I am going to work on a top 10 moments of Pavol's career which I will post later. I deal with tragedy in odd ways, and when Rypien passed I dealt with it by looking back and doing a top 10 moments of his career. So I hope you all understand and are ok with not having a daily links for today, it will resume its regular schedule tomorrow.
Two of the biggest memories I have of Pavol Demitra is when he scored on a slapshot on a penalty shot on Luongo (I remember thinkins 'Good god Luongo, you just got punked'), and when Demitra, struggling in the regular season, went to the 2010 Olympics and was arguably one of the best players in the tournament. Demitra had a Mogilny mode where he could just dominate and take over a game when he wanted to, and at the Olympics, Pavol showed such immense talent you couldn't help but be impressed by him (And of course wonder where that guy was in the NHL season, hahah). And of course, anyone who swears and screams "Mother*****er!!" after scoring a goal is a-ok in my books.
Anyways, please talk about your favorite Pavol moments in the comments below if you are up to it. I would like to see what memories stick out for you, as I will use some of them I am sure for his top 10 moments.
RIP

I was lucky enough to get to a Sweden Slovakia game during the Olympics. He was absolutely dominant out there, it seemed like he was just playing on another level and willing his team to win. He took attention away from many other players I was looking out for on the ice.

that handshake he had with Lu
and the look on both of their faces
after canada barely squeaked by in the semi’s
was such an iconic olympic memory for me
RIP Demo
He was on fire in the those Olympics
And of course that barely-got-a-piece-of-it glove save Lu made on Demo’s last second shot…
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Haha
Yeah, they both kind of had a look on their face of “What are you going to do?”

Ahh man...
this has been a rough summer.
Prayers go out to the families of the entire team lost…and to Demo. While he was a great ST Louis Blue, he wasn’t much of a Canuck…but, man, those Olympics he had.
RIP Demo…
I read Yankee’s post first, and posted this link there. Sweet shootout move my Demo to win it for Slovakia over Russia.
RIP Pavol.

Considering
A) It’s a well known meme
B) Dynamite had nothing to do with the plane crash
C) It’s the title of every morning post I do
But hey, no, you’re right, I was totally going for a dick approach on this one.

Maybe if you’d been reading some of the other posts that he’s done you’d notice he’s used the same title for everything.
And calling things “classy” is well beyond overused now.

Also
What the fuck is the point of even making a comment like this?

I couldn’t find a more useless thing to talk about then this situation, with you, right here.

Pretty sure you’re looking for there to be disrespect where there isn’t.

when you come down from your ivory tower of all that is good and righteous
you will realize that (a) you are judging how another community, one which you apparently don’t understand, interacts with each other, and (b) that everyone deals with difficult situations differently, and quite frankly if you don’t like it, you can fuck right off.

Breathe, Yankee, breathe

You went off to find - anything else - anything less

He was!
That’s what all the pauses were for!
