I know how everyone who reads the Gongshow blog is a huge fan of Hockey Pains and when all of my content was removed from the blog you broke down in tears. (Like when Kyle Wellwood gets to Dairy Queen 5 minutes after it closes.) Shit, my tires just exploded. One sec. Ok, back to the point I was going to make. I asked the guys at Gongshow to remove the content. I'm not going to go into the reason why, but it had to be done. But I'd like to delve into the past of Hockey Pains and how it got started and whatnot and I have some news for you at the end: It all started from this tweet I saw while browsing Twitter one day. I don't know how I came across it, but whatever. That soft tweet crossed my eyes and I of course thought, "Wow, basketball players are softer than puppy shit. I could do something like HockeyPains, though." And I wasn't going to tweet about stupid stuff like always being tired or hungry, or even the stuff that is literally painful (like getting stitches, breaking my jaw, and my countless injuries). I wanted to talk about stuff all hockey players could relate to, like going bar-up, breaking a stick on the 31st day after buying it, or stepping in a crack between the rubber mats. So I did this, along with some stuff like #MightyDuckspains, #SlapShotpains, #Miraclepains, etc, which were for fun on weekends.
