(please give me a dissertation on boldy/newhook/byram i need it so bad)

HI NOAH. WOE. DISSERTATION BE UPON YE.

this isn't going to be as organized as it could be, but i just think that these three are in such a weird and interesting triangle situation that is like. honestly closer in my mind to cole/trevor/jamie than anything else.

obviously, bolds & newy were roommates at bc and are still super close -- in alex's own words, "It was cool to come in, being in similar situations, drafted around the same area, and then to be roommates. We’ve been best buddies since then." (speaking of, that whole article is so, so good. watching team usa interact, i don't think you'd really guess how central matt is & how beloved he is by players like zegras & caufield, but that article gives us a really endearing glimpse into that particular dynamic.)

im always thinking about matt & alex's ice cream dates in particular, which are also covered in that article. obsessed with matt saying he'd go for ice cream 'every couple nights,' realizing how insane that sounds, and then walking it back to 'or twice a week' like you know alex was like babe can we go somewhere that serves real food. please. your diet is 90% dairy at this point. babe please.

anyway all that to say that in our little allegory i think bolds & newy parallel trevor & cole.

but then ! newy gets called up to the avalanche !! and matt goes to minnesota!!! matt has his insane obsessive romance with kevin fiala (think cole caufield & like. nick suzuki? maybe? or one of those father figures he keeps trying to fuck), so newy's gotta find someone else to fill that metaphorical (or not) hole. and conveniently enough, there's bowen byram.

alex & bo knew each other before getting called up obvs, since they both played for team canada at wjc 2021 & were drafted by the same team in the same year -- in an article from the denver post alex says, "Really close to Bo, I think ever since we got drafted together. I knew him a fair bit before we got drafted together and then, being in the same organization, it’s been great for both of us and we’ve definitely created a relationship over the years." thank u alex for the blandest way anyone has ever said 'we're besties.' truly a feat. anyway, all this to say that not only did they know each other before, but now they're finally in the same place full time, and alex's other bestie is off accidentally soulbonding with some random guy from switzerland.

tragically there really aren't a lot of other articles in my brief bout of research that i could find that center on alex & bo in the couple of years they were actually established on the avs, but suffice it to say that i think bo is a fantastic choice for an old friend-turned-rebound-turned-surprise genuine romantic interest.

& both of these relationships create SUCH a fun atmosphere for the boldy-byram fight!!! the fact that it's both of their first fights in the nhl (sooo interesting & suggestive & something i will absolutely be reading into -- is matt jealous? is bo? do they through some obscure connection via alex trust each other to be their first? etc etc etc), and the fact that they're somehow... kind of evenly matched? plus the delight of newy's reaction to it -- 'funny to watch' is such a classic understated comment to make about your two best friends trying to kill each other on live television. and then, of course, the kicker: "Bo was saying after the fight, ‘Boldy’s actually a pretty good guy. We were talking in the box.’"

hi noa thank u!!!
