Some thoughts:

I’m actually so hype about our new sharks. I don’t understand why everyone’s so upset other than their difficulty accepting change (which is something they should seriously work on, sports should not be a source of stress for you?) maybe it’s not real outrage or sorrow, maybe everyone’s just doing a bit. I’m new here btw

I think marchment and trouba are gonna be great additions to the goon squad that will protect our young core and I think Darnell Nurse is probably gonna have a whole refresh on his game after coming to the sharks where there’s no curse/ rancid vibes. I’m betting he put up with so much shit and bullying from the oilers. I know mcdavid is a blorbo on here and kudos to his polycule but I bet he’s absolutely miserable to be around…. Like I get nasty horrid vibes from that man if I take off my rpf goggles… that video of him screaming at the team? Haunting. and Of Course the mike babcock of it all… I bet Nurse is gonna have a glow up.

Also! I know all POC hockey players downplay the racism they experience when talking to the media (because they’d get mobbed and blackballed if they actually talked about it) and I hope that the fact that GMMG is the head honcho helps those players feel more comfortable. Side note I’m so looking forward to watching all the SJ PWHL games this year too… 🥰LAILA

I know little to nothing about puck, but I know people perform better at work when they’re happy. I’m gonna miss vinny and eky and the other guys but who can blame them for bettering themselves (money) on the free market when the injuries these guys get playing this sport means that they have expensive retirements?

Also! Love professor hockey but his sort of more critical tone when talking about POC sharks is becoming a bit of a pattern, TO ME (sherwood and reavo and now nurse) I don’t think he knows he’s doing it, Ilike how he criticizes dellandrea and goodrow and orlov too but I always feel he’s a little spicier towards Reaves, especially? This might all be in my head. Maybe i’m over correcting my criticisms because of how I expect racism within the NHL? Anyways, why shouldn’t we be optimistic? I don’t 100% understand the money aspect of hockey and tbh even if I did know more, I don’t trust myself and my opinions more than the people who do this as their careers (GMMG and sharks front office) why would we (tumblrinas and broadly sports fans on reddit) know more than the people who literally run this shit? It’s fun to have opinions but I hope nobody takes themselves too seriously, I know I don’t.

My official stance is: I don’t know shit, i’m along for the ride and i’m determined to enjoy myself. Why not be optimistic? Even if they lose we still get to watch and make our fun playing dolls on here… isn’t that what it’s all about? I love it here and these new players are so hot, i’m already having fun.

*Addendum: Actually if Graf doesnt get signed i’ll be legitimately upset but yeah hahahahaha
