Today is Valentine's Day, and here at Third String Goalie our hearts go out to minor league players everywhere who are forced to abandon their dignity on this day in pursuit of their NHL dreams by being forced to wear the many soul-sapping special Valentine's Day jerseys by their oh-so-clever owners seeking to draw attention to their franchises under the guise of raising money for charity by auctioning off these abominations following the games, if not outright selling them for pure profit.
Making matters worse is the visiting team being allowed to wear their normal road jerseys while the home team turns the same shade of pink as their jerseys in embarrassment. For those players who will be forced to endure this ritual hazing of minor leaguers everywhere, keep your heads up, knowing you are not alone and we wish you at least the good fortune of getting to wear a red jersey rather than pink.
