off-season post time. what’s your hockey player bringing to the potluck and i DONT want to see the words BANANA BREAD cross my screen

does anyone remember denis gurianov

when i was in middle school i probably thought that fandom becoming more mainstream would help me feel less shame but instead it’s like having constant 4D secondhand humiliation beamed directly into my skull

sends an offersheet to my neighbours wife

her husband matched my offer #CELIBACY

I feel like people who are dismissive of sports don’t realize that they’re sometimes super condescending. like, okay, you didn’t like gym class and have personal grudges against the jocks from your high school! that doesn’t mean that other people are idiots for enjoying something that, when it’s at its best, can connect you to a broader community of fans and give you a chance to appreciate the athleticism that people are capable of when they spend years honing a specific set of skills. there’s something so valuable and human about sports that gets lost when you reduce it to “sportsball” or whatever

the "off season" is a type of sisyphean ordeal that was invented by Big Stupid to make sports fans act more lame and insane

there is no woke nhl team you’re all under spells

part of rpf-ing if you want to be realistic i think involves recognizing that your fave might be gay/trans but not in a way that is cool or woke or anything like that... does this make sense

hockey rpfers found this EARLY

When you get into hockey, they always warn you of the emotional support third liner, but there is something far, far worse to have- an emotional support AHLer
