red rising, part 4: the team needs some lovin'

[slumber]

I know early on that I gave you guys a brief description about the team, but as a) today is Valentine's Day (what? no way! are you serious? because I'm sure none of you were reminded by the endless commercials and red-and-pink displays everywhere) and I can't dedicate this post to a single guy on the team (I can't; I love them all madly. Well, not all, but a lot of them.), and b) I have a short window of time within which to do this post, this part of the series will be short and sweet, as Valentine's Day should be.

brent SEABROOK



>> Wears jersey number 7
>> D-man, partners mostly with Duncan Keith
>> The only reason I love him is because Jonathan Toews stayed with him his rookie year
>> And he speaks of Toews like a proud big brother
>> ♥ ♥ ♥



soupy CAMPBELL



>> His jersey number is 51
>> He is potentially the son of that Weasley who ended up being an accountant

>> Was also up for the All Star Games (and he was also voted as a starter)
>> Came in to Chicago from Buffalo with a $7.1 million contract
>> Is an amazing offensive D-man, but then idk what happened because he started pucking up. (LOL SOBBING)
>> I don't really know how I feel about him though. :(
>> On one hand, he is really really sweet with kids, and he looks nice and soft-spoken
>> And it doesn't SEEM like the team LIKES him :(
>> On the other hand, he's kind of awkward and has no sensibilities
>> And doesn't even know where he lives
>> And his nickname is Soupy (from Campbell, yeah, hockey players aren't renowned for being witty okay?)
>> LOOKS SO CONFUSED ALL THE BLOODY TIME

>> Except maybe here
>> We will pretend he's not sat beside Byfuglien, and Buff does not exist, because Buff annoys me :|

>> Andrew Ladd is the guy on the left, or to the right of Santa Clause (these are Christmas photos that I stole from someone else, okay? You'll see later why :|)
>> Wears Jersey Number 16
>> Has been kind of awesome lately
>> Apparently his family adopted two adult mentally-challenged people. This is about the most interesting thing about him. :|


nikolai KHABIBULIN

>> Is that other guy beside Santa Claus
>> Wears Jersey Number 39
>> One of the older peeps-- actually, his contract is expiring, so he might be going away, which sucks because I think he's awesome
>> Is a goalie
>> Is awesome-- have I said that already? :|
>> One of the few Blackhawks who's grown up and has a family and stuff
>> Pleasedon'tgo:(((



cristobal HUET

>> Is the OTHER goalie (alternates with Khabby)
>> idk, his grin worries me DDDDD:
>> Wears number 38
>> Does some awesome flopping action thingies to save goals, but like. Flails as well.

>> French, idk how this is relevant :|



martin HAVLAT


Photo from backcheck

>> Number 24
>> Would have gotten a post all his own if I knew more about him :(
>> Pretty
>> Awesome
>> Pretty damn awesome
>> Is up for re-signing his contract, and the team wants to keep him and he wants to stay too, so
>> Pleasestayforever, Havvie.
>> Please? You're ever so brilliant!
>> (See what I said about giving him his own post if I knew more about him? :\)



ben EAGER

>> Number 55, is the big bald guy to Santa's right (and your left)
>> He looks really cute, but like.
>> He gets scary on the ice and he starts fighting
>> Which is hilarious because he almost never wins :| :| :|
>> In a game against Buffalo, one of the guys executed a Very Dirty Hit against Duncan Keith, who is like, our top defenseman (and that hit basically knocked Keith out for a couple of games, which SHOWS BECAUSE THAT WAS WHEN WE STARTED SLUMPING WAH)
>> And Eager went after the guy. Like. ROAR I SHALL HAVE YOU *HITHITHITANDPUNCHANDUPPERCUTKICKRAR!!!!!!*
>> It was kind of awesome.
>> Of course, he got penalized for 8 straight minutes
>> Which is okay, because that riled the whole TEAM up and like, they killed the penalty BEAUTIFULLY
>> And we won the game. ♥
>> Eager also usually has altercations with number 55 from St Louis, Janssen
>> Except last night
>> Janssen wanted to fight
>> He even PRODDED EAGER WITH HIS STICK
>> Looking all "Come on, Eager, fight me pls?"
>> It can be a lolcat, I swear
>> But Eager? You know what Eager did?
>> IGNORED HIM.
>> AND SHRUGGED HIS STICK AWAY
>> AND WAS ALL "NO WANNA FIGHT, NOT IN THE MOOD"
>> And then LATER
>> Eager FINALLY gave in and started fighting
>> SOMEONE ELSE
>> *DEDFROMTHELOLZ* BECAUSE YOU KNOW JANSSEN GOT ALL ~JELUZ~ FROM THAT
>> Even the interviewer asked Janssen about it. He was all, "What can you say about Ben Eager pulling that stunt to get under your skin?"
>> GUYS WHY IS HOCKEY SO GAY?



colin FRASER

>> That other guy beside Eager and Santa
>> Number 46
>> Sweet
>> But quiet :(



matt WALKER

>> Wears my favorite number, 8
>> I didn't know much about him, except now I do
>> Guys, he likes fighting


Photo from backcheck

>> CRYING LOOK AT WHAT HE CAN DO OMG SCARY


Photo from backcheck

>> WIZ.
>> SANTA.
>> WATCH OUT.
>> I'm really glad he's on our side though. :|




Photo from backcheck

>> SOBBING
>> These are Troy Brouwer (Santa's right lap) and Adam Burish (Santa's left lap)
>> I will tell you more about Burish later
>> Troy thinks people use pork chop for combing, that is all I can remember
>> I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY THOUGHT SITTING ON SANTA'S LAP WAS A GOOD IDEA, OKAY?
>> I love that Santa's mouth is COMPLETELY COVERED
>> I think the team kind of taped it shut so he can't run away screaming :|




Photo from backcheck

>> You already know Kane. You probably need to remember he is like, 12 years old. :|
>> The pretty pretty man beside him is Duncan Keith. YOU WILL BE HEARING MORE ABOUT HIM IN LATER POSTS. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.
>> Even more hilarious, I guess Kane saw them and was all "Cool, I'll do that" and when he did, Dunc was all "Yeah, no, I won't, dear GOD WHY AM I IN THIS TEAM?"

>> Because of love, Duncan Keith. Because of love. ♥

AND NOW I'm off, because I need to pick up Line so we can watch my beloved Blackhawks against the Dallas Stars. ♥
