Well, I found my answer in the hockey mask of Gerry “Cheesy” Cheevers, the Bruins goalie of the 1970 and 1972 Stanley Cup champions. A strange choice, perhaps, to explain all the emotions that sports have imbued within them, but something about this mask makes sense...
...entirely fair comparison. We relied on Mister Rogers to explain death and hurt and sadness, not to eradicate them. But if Ridge faces something of an inspiration gap, he might take a few lessons from Mister Rogers. For instance, that an explanation of a bad thing is only reassuring if it is straightforward and direct. Mister Rogers spoke softly, but he never soft-pedaled. And he knew how to be both compassionate and authoritative. He was "Mister" Rogers, after all, never "Fred." He wore a tie even when he dressed down.

...last original episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood aired on Aug. 31, 2001--a scant 11 days before we needed him to explain the biggest Big Inexplicable yet. He returned to tape public-service announcements on how to talk to kids about the Sept. 11 anniversary, but the anxiety has only built since then. War jitters, orange alerts and duct-tape mania have rendered literal our most childlike, monsters-under-the-bed fears: that a tall building can collapse like a house of cards, that something bad can seep in ghostlike through your window and hurt...

The only lecture on education supports school vouchers, the only lecture on social security supports privatization. The problem is that while school vouchers and the privatization of government services are issues vigorously debated within...
Before the game, the four seniors were honored at half-court as part of the annual Senior Night tradition. Typically, this sort of display goes without record in the print of this paper, but Saturday night’s ceremonies seemed to carry more weight than usual and they explain exactly why the Class of 2003 should not be too troubled by regret and disappointment...
