Timofious

@813Drew holy fuck we have become so soft as a society.

Some of these reactions about Hedman are really tough to see. People sit behind a keyboard all day and think they get to decide what makes someone “tough”. Social media has its positives but it has also caused irreversible damage to genuine human interaction. It’s sad to see man

@Erik_Erlendsson This doesn’t sound like something that will go away after a couple months of leaving. This has been going on for years. He needs to retire and spend time with his family and give the team some cap space.

Victor Hedman on his absence: “Obviously a thing that's been going on for a long time and try and work through it and find ways to get around it. But I wasn't able to do that. So that's where the decision came that I needed to take some time and find myself again” #GoBolts

@Diandra_loux CAPTAIN HAGEL

Brandon Hagel on being the #GoBolts emotional leader: “I've been fortunate enough to come into a team when I first got traded here, to a bunch of winners. I got to learn from Steven Stamkos. I got to learn from Pat Maroon & Corey Perry at a young age. There's no one in the world that wants to win more than those guys, and I will do anything I possibly can for my teammates to try and win because that's what I'm here for.”

@MOBeaudoin1 Why don’t you take off time for a couple months and not go to work?

Certains commentaires confirment encore une fois (même si ce n'était pas nécessaire) qu'il faut normaliser et essayer de mieux comprendre les enjeux de santé mentale. Un homme de 6'7 qui gagne des millions à faire ce qu'il aime a lui aussi le droit de prendre une pause s'il en ressent la nécessité. Les problèmes de santé mentale, ça peut toucher n'importe qui.

@LightningRating “He was sad”

Add: Hedman: F I’ve never seen any sport - ever - where the captain of the team is physically healthy and is practicing with the team while not playing in the playoffs. The fan base 100% deserves answers.

@91Sparkz @agentofascent @TBLightning I deadass don’t blame you. Dude is a millionaire that gets to sit around make free money while his team plays, taking pucks to the face and bleeding. Meanwhile Hedman is “sad”. We all have to go to work and get through it.

@chefdasloff @agentofascent @TBLightning Same lol just gave away my Hedman jersey.

@0NP0lNT Then don’t be a captain if you can’t hold your shit together?

heddy: is not himself, is not playing well boltstwt: bench him!!! he's terrible!!! heddy: leaves to fix his mental health, which is likely causing him to not play well boltstwt: WHERE IS OUR CAPTAIN! HE IS A DEADBEAT! HE SHOULD BE PLAYING! like seriously lmao.

@caruss18 @agentofascent @TBLightning Go back to work.

@agentofascent @chefdasloff @TBLightning And he can’t spell lose which he should as the loser he is

@yabadabadoooou @TBLightning I agree with you completely. But a captain leaving his team because he’s sad for half of the season and then when playoffs are done he’s all better now? This is fucking ridiculous. We all have to go to work? Why is there a double standard?

@chefdasloff @TBLightning What about the other players that act like idiots and dont put the effort? Gourde doing the monkey. Hagel faking head bunts and stick slashes like a 5 yo Kucherov 0 pts in 7 game 7s Are they helping their team?

@OfSoyest @TBLightning ok soyboy

@chefdasloff @TBLightning No one’s going to notice when you’re gone until the smell reaches the sidewalk

@Bolt_RN86 @TBLightning People are fucking sad, get over it and go to work. We all have to work and go earn money. There is no double standard.

@chefdasloff @TBLightning What an idiotic and small wiener comment.

@hockey_jc90 @TBLightning You’re missing the point.

@chefdasloff @TBLightning Absolutely crazy thing admitting you dont have feelings. Seek help. Theyre human beings not robots, despite playing hockey.

@hockey_jc90 @TBLightning Yeah people with “feelings”. Unfortunately hockey is not a feeling based sport, and we would’ve not let Stamkos leave then.

@chefdasloff @TBLightning Most people clearly dont agree with you.

@DubyaZzz @tylerwat2002 @TBLightning womp womp womp, he’s a sad millionaire that makes more than any in our team. Meanwhile everyone on our team has to pick up the slack. That’s not captain material.

@tylerwat2002 @chefdasloff @TBLightning Yes, because all men have the ability to leave their jobs for three months for “mental health reasons” and get to step back in whenever they want. It’s valid criticism.

@hockey_jc90 @TBLightning Eh, people agree with me. Hedman is the highest paid defenseman on our team, the captain, and decides to sporadically leave our team when we are going to the playoffs. He will continue to hinder the team and make them suffer. He’s been playing the same way for the past 3 years,

@chefdasloff @TBLightning shithead.

@yabadabadoooou @TBLightning Just feel bad for his team.

@chefdasloff @TBLightning You’re crying over hockey. Reality check maybe?!

@agentofascent @TBLightning I get the point, he’s a sad millionaire and wanted to sit out while his team plays.

@chefdasloff @TBLightning So you missed the whole point and reveal you’re a jackass, congrats “Timofious”

@yabadabadoooou @TBLightning He’s a captain, gets paid 8 mil, and the contract will hinder the team. Quit on his team.

@chefdasloff @TBLightning And you are an idiot.

@Diandra_loux Really hope he’s not playing. He will be so fucking slow.

Victor Hedman just took the ice #GoBolts
