That desperate look in the goalie's eyes totally sells it.

"DON'T YOU GET IT? THERE IS NO SANTA!"

[–]Fredbearr 15 points16 points ago

Don't you get it? THERE IS NO SEASON!

[–]ghost_victim 2 points3 points ago

As a Canadian, :(

[–]ejpal 0 points1 point ago

buddy, it's back!

[–]towns -1 points0 points ago

This one made me as sad as those refs.

[–]99drumdude -1 points0 points ago

that.... that was low..

[–]towns 54 points55 points ago

That's not just any goalie. That's the New York Rangers star goalie Henrik Lundqvist

[–]unhhoh12 20 points21 points ago

the best goalie in the world

[–]Naturae 15 points16 points ago

*New York

[–]unhhoh12 12 points13 points ago

His Vezina trophy would say differently

[–]srguapo 0 points1 point ago

*New York city

[–]JinxThunderball 4 points5 points ago

If you make it there, you'll make it anywhere.

[–]Langenbrunner15 -2 points-1 points ago

No, definitely top 5, though.

[–]unhhoh12 6 points7 points ago

that video doesn't prove your point. Its a scramble in front of the net and if anything you just give props to Henrique for being there to put it home

[–]Langenbrunner15 -5 points-4 points ago

I view it more as an exclamation point at the end of a very mediocre performance in an ECF.

[–]Jacob5890 -3 points-2 points ago

A mediocre performance by the Rangers, not King Henrik.

[–]windowvision -2 points-1 points ago

silly,He isn't osgood

[–]crystalcastles 10 points11 points ago

Wait Osgood is a mediocre-at-best goalie that benefited from a friendly system and an amazing team in front of him...

[–]hockeyfreak896890 0 points1 point ago

He didnt win 3 Stanley Cups playing like shit my friend

[–]crystalcastles 0 points1 point ago

When did I say he played like shit?

[–]hockeyfreak896890 0 points1 point ago

Sorry for misquoting you it just seeme to me that you were perhaps calling him out. I meant to say that the wings didnt win those 3 cups he won without him playing well

[–]crystalcastles 0 points1 point ago

I never saw him win a Conn Smythe either

[–]hockeyfreak896890 0 points1 point ago

Goalies dont win the Conn Smythe much either. Martin Brodeur won 3 cups and will make the hall of fame but he never won the Conn Smythe either. In fact in 2003 the losing goalie (J.S. Giguere) won. Conn Smythe trophies are a good judging tool for hhof players but you cant use that to see if they are worthy or not. Osgood in my opinion deserves to be inducted. He has won 400+ games and 3 Stanley Cups.

[–]ghost_victim 2 points3 points ago

He isn't osgood as who?

[–]RicheTheBuddha 0 points1 point ago

Osgood as who?

[–]RiotBananas -1 points0 points ago

No, it's Nicolas Cage.

[–]Wombat23 0 points1 point ago

fun fact he was also voted the sexiest man in sweden

[–]guns_of_navarone 20 points21 points ago

Handsome Hank would never do that!

[–]SECRETLY_STALKS_YOU 2 points3 points ago

Because he sells propane and propane accessories?

[–]Mhowardk 106 points107 points ago

The linesman, Pat Dapuzzo,took a skate to the face and lost his nose. Since then he's battled debilitating depression

[–]I_Said_What_What 33 points34 points ago

Can't tell if this was meant to be factual or a really good anti-joke.

[–]linich 66 points67 points ago

Factual

Although that's not what's being shown here.

[–]CosmicKoala 49 points50 points ago

There were 10 fractures in my face. My right cheekbone was shattered. Between the accident and all the surgeries I've had, I lost all of my teeth. I lost my sense of smell. I developed sleep apnea. I dealt with terrible earaches caused by bone fragments in my right ear.

Holy Shit

[–]KoDj2 24 points25 points ago

this made me very sad, poor guy

[–]Batman_Von_Suparman2 2 points3 points ago

Yeah it pretty much sounds like the worst thing ever. Word of advice everyone ALWAYS wear your protective gear. Face guards Helmets padding the whole enchilada. it will save your life.

[–]LukaCola 0 points1 point ago

the whole enchilada

Well, okay then.

[–]sterling_mallory 1 point2 points ago

And he still tried to break up the fight that broke out afterwards. Bad. Ass.

[–]Pertz 5 points6 points ago

Except that both of the numbered refs are not number 60 (Dapuzzo's #), and the unnumbered one is wearing a visor, which Dapuzzo obviously did not.

[–]linich 1 point2 points ago

Right. I edited my post above. I just meant that what Mhowardk said was factual, not that the image was actually showing what happened to Dapuzzo.

[–]Keljhan -1 points0 points ago

Well that's obvious, as he still has a nose.

[–]OneSingleMonad 4 points5 points ago

Oh man. That was brutal. Flyers fan here but I did not see that game. Yeesh. I feel so bad for Dapuzzo.

[–]Pertz 2 points3 points ago

Didn't happen to any of the refs pictured.

[–]siegewolf 1 point2 points ago

After watching the video of him taking the skate to the face and still trying to break up the fights it got me to thinking. Why can't they take a part of his massive freakin' balls and fix his nose. Guy is a total boss.

[–]Mhowardk 1 point2 points ago

I think the only organ that could fill the void left by his nose is his heart

[–]siegewolf 0 points1 point ago

Honestly, I still love him. If he isn't working anymore I'd donate a few bucks to help him live better.

[–]Mhowardk 0 points1 point ago

Sad sad story

[–]PittPensPats 1 point2 points ago

Hate to break it to you, but it's not the same dude. The guy in the pic is a ref, denoted by the orange band on the sleeve.

[–]Mhowardk 0 points1 point ago

You're right

[–]BeefyLunchMeat 25 points26 points ago

I miss hockey :'(

[–]megustadotjpg 3 points4 points ago

Sorry for asking, but what happened?

[–]ProfessorBorden 7 points8 points ago

NHL currently has the players locked out. Negotiations are in progress but at least half the season has been lost already.

[–]megustadotjpg 4 points5 points ago

Aww man, not a hockey fan, but I'm sure it sucks.

[–]PittPensPats 0 points1 point ago

I literally don't know what to do with all of my time right now since hockey isn't happening, I forgot how to do simple small talk because it was so easy to talk about the game since there are about three a week.

[–]JohnMatt 0 points1 point ago

No, not "at least." They won't play a season that is less than 42 games.

And the drop dead day to be able to fit in a condensed, 42 games schedule has been set as January 14th or 15th, I forget which.

[–]DrunkenRedditing 0 points1 point ago

According to this:

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/nhl-nhlpa-agree-10-cba-term-lockout-not-000902189--nhl.html

They'd be looking at a season of "upwards of 52 games", if this agreement moves forward.

[–]JohnMatt 0 points1 point ago

News broke today that a tentative deal has been reached, just needs to be ratified by a players vote (which is virtually guaranteed). Depending on how quick things get going, sources say the season will start between the 15th and 20th, and being 48-52 games long. So, yeah. Sounds right.

[–]hockeyfreak896890 0 points1 point ago

The deadline is fast approaching Jan. 12

[–]Marcalogy 0 points1 point ago

If you're from the US, watch the NCAA. If you're from Canada, watch the CHL. If you're from Europe, it's full of pro leagues. NHL hockey puts emphasis on violence and sells hockey with violence. Junior hockey is the best, the players don't play for money and your team has a chance to win the Cup at least once every three years.

I'm a huge hockey fan, but I couldn't care less about the lockout.

[–]JoshLikesHockey 2 points3 points ago

YOU AINT GONNA MISS IT ANYMORE WE BACK IN THIS BITCH

[–]honus 0 points1 point ago

Hey josh do you like hockey?

[–]JoshLikesHockey 0 points1 point ago

If I had a nickle for every time I'd been asked that question I'd have a fuckload of nickles.

[–]wtf_isgoingonhere 5 points6 points ago

Does anyone know what is actually happening in that second pic?

[–]GrayBread 6 points7 points ago

Guy probably took a skate/puck to the face.

[–]DaGyani 22 points23 points ago

Hockey, it doesnt exist anymore just like santa

[–]iamnotafish 4 points5 points ago

Two reasons to be sad.

[–]Thinc_Ng_Kap 2 points3 points ago

Its a picture of a man whose soul was just crushed.

[–]L_UCIFER_ 22 points23 points ago

what bothers me is that you can see what looks like a 2 on the first ref's uniform but 11 on the second! i declare shenanigans

[–]juseipel43 31 points32 points ago

shenanigans you say?

[–]CorporalCauliflower 0 points1 point ago

Can anyone link that scene? Loved that movie so much!

[–]Lepharsi 2 points3 points ago

What movie is it?

[–]Shoeboxer 8 points9 points ago

Super Troopers.

[–]WEDub 2 points3 points ago

Helpful.

[–]T_0_R_0 4 points5 points ago

[–]sutsu 5 points6 points ago

In just a few short weeks, we can take this pic, change it to "There IS no hockey season!" And replace the ref with all the crying hockey fans.

And if someone does this and you get lots of juicy karma, you can just gift me reddit gold as a thank you.

[–]Masterchief147 3 points4 points ago

BUT BUT BUT.... I WANT A HOCKEY SEASON! :(

[–]JoshLikesHockey -1 points0 points ago

LOL WHATS THAT

[–]sutsu -1 points0 points ago

Now I wish I'd made a joke like this a hundred days ago, might have gotten a resolution sooner!

[–]Zanoushe 0 points1 point ago

Wait, what? Hockey isn't a thing anymore?

[–]JohnMatt 0 points1 point ago

The CBA expired and the league has locked out the players until a new CBA is in place. If that doesn't happen by mid January, the entire season will be lost.

[–]170lbsApe 1 point2 points ago

and it wont the next 10 times it gets posted either...

[–]TicTokCroc 17 points18 points ago

But does it ever get funny?

[–]wcstcomic 0 points1 point ago

it's always funny.

[–]SECRETLY_STALKS_YOU 6 points7 points ago

In Silidelphia.

[–]ZaneBarrow 1 point2 points ago

[–]noahsygg 5 points6 points ago

Vezina trophy winning Henrik Lundqvist. FTFY.

[–]apalms 3 points4 points ago

Non-stanley cup winning Henrik Lundqvist FTFY

[–]sutsu 7 points8 points ago

He's so good, he don't need a cup the be King Hank.

[–]apalms 1 point2 points ago

I was more focused on pointing out the missing q

[–]noahsygg 0 points1 point ago

Damn, I had that coming.

[–]Branzilla91 2 points3 points ago

Super-attractive goalie who makes all hockey fans go gay Henrik Lundqvist. FTFY.

I hope they get this CBA shit resolved =( Hearing a lot of positives but I don't want to get my hopes up.

[–]calamormine 1 point2 points ago

Oh come on. He's not that attractive...

...Oh wait, he totally is

[–]JohnMatt 0 points1 point ago

AND he has a twin brother!

[–]calamormine 1 point2 points ago

Who's also quite the talented hockey player in his own right. The Captain of the SEL Frolunda Indians. He's not quite as attractive though.

[–]noahsygg 0 points1 point ago

Yet.

[–]dogsalt 1 point2 points ago

relevant video that's been recorded with a potato:

[–]pokedrake 2 points3 points ago

It gets old when people keep reposting it.

[–]Splatypus 1 point2 points ago

"Never gets old" is the worst excuse for a repost. Almost as bad as when OP takes full credit for a picture.

[–]aexc17 1 point2 points ago

It only gets old when it's a repost. Like this time. And every other time it gets reposted.

[–]mikeb3rd96 0 points1 point ago

Nice way to psych out the ref.

[–]jess0789 0 points1 point ago

Clearly the linesman is just upset that he will never be as pretty as Henrik Lundqvist.

[–]RedAndWhiteIsAlright 0 points1 point ago

Is that #11 ref Kelly Sutherland? He's wearing #11 in that video as well, but the way the ref in the pic is holding his face, it doesn't look like the same injury. Is Kelly Sutherland just that tough?

[–]rappelkopf -1 points0 points ago

I just tried to post this on facebook (yes, that's how I roll) and it said it's spam. *facepalm

haha, that's a really good joke. Of course Santa's real, he ate the cookies I left out for him :3 silly hockey players

[–]UnholyPrepuce 0 points1 point ago

I think I have a mancrush on that dude. He's a fucking handsome guy!

[–]friedchocolate 0 points1 point ago

Wait, if there's no Santa, where did the presents under my tree come from? Checkmate atheists.

No.

is it too much to ask for a fucking SPOILER alert around here?

[–]fnufs 0 points1 point ago

Being dyslexic can be wierd at times, read this as "there is no satan"

[–]Gunzerker832270 0 points1 point ago

I have the same reaction whenever I think I take a huge dump,just to figure out that only a pebble was conceived.

[–]MoggTheFrog 0 points1 point ago

ok yeah this is funny but does anyone knows the story behind this and what he actually said?

[–]OnlyBrainLeft 0 points1 point ago

That post gave the ref cancer.

[–]hockeyfreak896890 0 points1 point ago

Dammit, Henrik Lundqvist is at it again. This time Stephen Walkmon falls victim.

"It's okay Jerry, just ignore him, he just wants to make you feel bad."

[–]Craftermagicman 0 points1 point ago

I remember some students made a comedy skit and one kid ran up to this line of preschoolers waiting in line for santa at the mall, slowly looked each one in the eye, and it feel silent. He then scream "SANTA ISNT REAL CHILDREN", and they all ran screaming and quite a few fell.

Its not even the same ref. The numbers on there shoulders aren't the same. But good concept.

Oh wait, no, that makes no fucking sense.

That's why they cancelled the season. Santa withdrawal.
