This got me fired up

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

USA. Summer. It is 95 degrees outside, and I am shivering inside a sandwich shop.

I have discovered how Americans forge strong souls.

Outside, the sun is trying to kill everyone. Inside this small restaurant, it is winter. My breath does not fog, but it is thinking about it. A man near me is eating a cold sandwich while wearing a jacket. In summer. Indoors.

In Japan we would simply turn it down. Americans do not turn it down. And now I understand them better than they understand themselves.

This cold is not an accident. This cold is a gift.

The owner has built, inside his shop, a second season. He invites you in from the brutal heat and hands you the one thing the sun has denied you all day: a reason to be cold. To endure it is to be tempered. You walk in soft and sweating. You walk out sharp and clear, a slightly stronger person than you were.

So I did not complain. I removed my outer layer and offered it to the woman at the next table, who was hugging herself. She said, "Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you." She was not fine. Her lips were blue. But she, too, understood the training. She would not break first. I respected her deeply.

The owner asked if everything was okay.

"It is perfect," I said, through my teeth, which were chattering. "Thank you for the winter."

He said, "...I can turn the AC down if you want?"

I told him no. A man does not ask the mountain to be shorter.

I stayed two hours. I ordered a hot coffee to survive. Then a second one, to hold. By the end I could no longer feel my hands, but my spirit had never been clearer.

So now, on the hottest days, I seek out the coldest rooms. I sit. I shiver. I sharpen.

And when I finally step back out into the summer heat, and it wraps around me like a warm bath, I feel it.

Reborn.

A man who has survived the winter, in August, indoors, for the price of a sandwich.

The “Larkin is dead to me” is insane. Yzerman created this mess. Larkin has been begging for help for years that fell on deaf ears. This 1000000000% falls on Steve.

Alex DeBrincat on emotions in Red Wings’ locker room: “Frustration. Disbelief, from where we were at to where we are now — not acceptable. We’re embarrassed with the spot we’re in.

“It’s tough to do what we did.”

Detroit may not be the luckiest city when it comes to pro sports, but we are so insanely blessed to have the broadcasters that we do.

After 40 seasons in the radio booth, 31 with @KenKalDRW, tonight will be Paul Woods' final call.

For the passion, dedication and many, many memories - we thank you, Woody! ❤️📻

I would rather un-retire Wayne Gretzky's number league-wide than force all 32 teams to exclude more numbers.

A number should not be retired by a team the player never played for.
