Man am I bad at This

we're so back! everyone watch the playoff game tonight!

On May 18th the Montreal Victoire and Ottawa Charge are playing the third game of the finals series. PWHL playoffs are best of 5, and the Victoire have won the first two games. The Victoire are so close to a clean sweep for the Walter cup!

Fun facts about the Victoire

The captain (Marie-Philip Poulin) is married to one of the alternate captains (Laura Stacey). They play on the same offensive line (affectionately called the Wife Line!)

The Victoire's head coach Kori Cheverie was the first woman to be the head coach of a Canadian university's men's hockey team

Social media has captured players' boyfriends, husbands, girlfriends, wives, and parents in personalized player jackets during this year's playoffs

The Victoire's starting goalie (Ann-Renee Desbiens) is fucking insane. Her save percentage has been at or above 0.950 since at least the Olympic break (that means she blocks 95 out of 100 shots!)

The Victoire selected the two-time Walter cup champions the Minnesota Frost for their semi-final series, and proceeded to knock them out of the playoffs personally

No matter what, the Walter cup this year will be won by a Canadian team with a lesbian captain, so tune in at 7pm EST! PWHL games are streamed on YouTube in the US and are available on some sports broadcasts in Canada.

Keep an eye out for more PWHL news soon! Three expansion teams have been announced for next year (Detroit, Hamilton, Las Vegas), and a fourth (San Jose?) is expected to be announced on May 19th. The expansion team draft is very long and complicated this year because of the large amount of players who need to sign with their teams again, so it'll be a wild ride!

I'm continuing to be very normal about the PWHL expansions

It was a AU where after Shane breaks his collarbone the entire Metros team don't speak to him or visit at all. Ilya and Raiders see how poorly he's treated by the Metros and just take him back to Boston with them. Like, he's discharged from the hospital and Ilya puts him on the team bus and they fall asleep on each other. The Raiders make it into a 'prank' that they stole the Metros' captain and Shane recovers in Boston with Ilya and is in discussions to be traded/join the team.

I applied to 3 internships over 6 months.

he's making us safe

The first one never got back to me. They're at the Texas-Mexico border and can't take interns because their community is in crisis.

he's cutting government waste

I wanted to work with veterans. The federal hiring freeze applied to unpaid interns.

they're only targeting the bad ones
