Player Discussion Alexander Ovechkin (Vol. 4)

In before Ovie is back within 2 weeks

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

4 weeks puts him around Christmas, so I’ll say he returns after the Christmas break.

Sounds like you got all banged up and fell down the stairs. Haha.

Rushing to get home to meet my wife and head out for the weekend …. Had too many thing in my hands and tripped in my flip flop running down stairs at work. Landed poorly w the left leg underneath me, on the 2nd bottom stair.

They were concrete and I weigh 200lbs…..something had to give.

That sounds painful.

That sounds painful.

It was not fun. Hurt like hell. I thought I’d twisted both ankles and that was the issue. Didn’t know I had broken the leg until 2 weeks later. Doh.

Fun fact have never owned or worn flip flops ever.

Also sounds painful.

 

[g00n]

Flip flops are not tactical

There's like 9 things wrong in that sentence. If you had to perfectly describe "How to Break a Leg" I'm not sure you could do a better job with so few words. Carrying too much, running in flip flops, running down stairs in flip flops, flip flops at work...

Two good things about that story...

1) You didn't die. Explaining that to people and writing that epitaph would have killed your wife.

2) Once the dust settled, your wife must've realized that you either love her very, very much, or she has you very well trained, or both. Good for her either way. "He was at work carrying three armfuls of shit and ran down stairs in flip flops to get home to me. Might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's devoted. What more could you ask? Well yeah, get rid of the flip flops, but still..."

Landed poorly

If you somehow stuck the landing on a fall that ridiculous, you would have known for sure that we're all living in The Matrix and you, sir, are Neo. (Bummer, right?)

LOL. You cannot live in CA and spend a lot of time in HI and NOT wear flip flops. I have like 4 pairs of Olukai’s.

There is nothing more comfortable.

But yeah, won’t be rushing down stairs again in them

Well, I did manage to save everything I was carrying (laptop bag, vase of flowers, and a plant). Nothing else broke. LOL

Interesting fact: my family (Moms side) has crazy strong bones. No one else has broken anything, ever (brother didn’t, sister hasn’t, 5 cousins on my moms side, etcetc). Oddly enough, we even grow bones in places. My finger knuckles, inside my jaw, and even some have inner ear issues bc of extra bone growth. 2 of my cousins were studied at Yale Medical is understand it.

Summary — I don’t break, am very responsible, but am marginally low IQ’d…..it would seem.

Anyway, enough about me.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Flip flops for me, are a two scenario wear……pool or beach…..nothing else.

This is fair. Kinda a trip how little I wear shoes in general since covid where I'm about 99% barefoot during work days (still work from home).
