    I think it's such great storytelling on Ngozi's part to have bitty narrating to us about checks whole he's being checked. And jacks reaction absolutely kills me!

    Jack's eyes in that last panel kill me...he's so concerned. And poor bits...the fact that he's most afraid of the moments where you know what's happening but can't stop it? That's so relatable to me, and really shows me that for Bitty the issue with checking isn't so much the hit itself, but the loss of control and the inevitability of pain.

    Also, screw anyone who calls Jack a hockey robot, he didn't give one crap about the puck his only thought was Bitty he said Bitty's name ALOUD he was so distressed hi Jack gives me a lot of feelings.

      for Bitty the issue with checking isn't so much the hit itself, but the loss of control and the inevitability of pain.

      this is so true, and even beyond that... He's spent more than half his life on skates, he knows he's going to fall, falling is a thing, finding yourself face-down on the ice occasionally is a fact of life. Top-tier athletes in both hockey and figure skating just wipe out on a pretty regular basis.

      There's a difference between "I didn't land quite right and fell on my face" and "Big guy sent me flying." Physics just happens. If he makes a bad landing, at least it's his own fault. But going flying from a physical check means someone attacked him, and he's extra-vulnerable to that attack because he's so much lighter than everyone else on the ice. Holster probably wouldn't've gone airborne from that check but he's got twice the mass backing up his decision to stay put.

      To some extent... this is Bitty versus the football team all over again.

    Slow motion in comic form! So good and raises the tension so perfectly!

    We never even see crazy hip-checkers face, he's just some anonymous monster who has already taken out the biggest guy on the team.

    Is this the first time Jack uses Bitty's nickname?

    Ouch. :(

      I think it is the first time he uses the nickname!! At least from my recollection...
