Oh hey I didn’t post these non-final prototypes I got a while back. Guess now’s a good time considering they’re playing in the gold version of what was once but a Mustard Knight

Elton John loves sports, noted friend of Billie Jean King, a true Watford superfan and former owner they love so much they named one of their stands after him. He’s such an ambassador for the entire entertainment and sporting industries.

Elton John called Luke Prokop????

Nothing says ready to promote the game of hockey like sandwiching it between the X-Games and minor league soccer, having your professional announcer say two teams’ names wrong (the Anaheim Mighty Ducks and the Carolina Panthers), having multiple mics not operate properly, and forcing Marshawn Lynch to pronounce Calle Jarnkrok’s name when he hates speaking instead of having him launch dead fish into the crowd like the engine of chaos he was perfectly designed to be lol

why is ESPN already more fun than all of NBCs years combined

The longest con ever was Disney starting the Anaheim Mighty Ducks and selling the team to the Samuelis only for them to immediately change the name. Disney got their revenge by buying the rights to air the league’s content and one of their employees immediately calls them the Mighty Ducks again? The Mouse is a vengeful god

why are the announcers like dissing every team like why are you choosing violence

Why tf did the NHL literally kneecap the event by not announcing the trades at the draft. Even the reporters were like… what… and had to clarify with Francis that they had in fact made trades

There were no trades announced… bc they haven’t MADE any trades yet… hello??

Ron Francis said… they weren’t allowed to?!?! The NHL tanked its own expansion draft by giving too much lag time between the time Seattle had to finalize their picks and the time the draft had to occur and then simultaneously not allowing the side deals to be announced at the draft. Like they could’ve still told those players they brought to Seattle but why did the league need 12 hours for a list of names

Seattle making no trades prior to the expansion draft means that it’s going to be chaos starting tomorrow.

Why is now the right time for you to come out?

"I came home from Calgary after my season ended because of COVID. I was lying in bed one night, just deleted a dating app for the fourth or fifth time, and I was just extremely frustrated because I couldn't be my true authentic self. And in that moment I said, 'Enough's enough. I'm accepting who I am. I wanna live the way I want to. And I'm going to accept myself as a gay man'."

What's it gonna mean to you next season to skate in a game knowing that your truth is out there?

"It's hard to put into words. I'm gonna lace my skates up the same. I'm gonna put my jersey on the same. Strap up my helmet. Pull on my gloves... But I'm finally gonna be able to breathe, and exhale, and show the world the real me. And I'm so excited to see where that will take me - not only as a hockey player, but as a person as well."

Kyle Capobianco Arizona Coyotes Game Worn Jersey from February 1, 2020 against Chicago.

I got two different photo matches of the left sleeve, and I always laugh at how 1) every Adidas on-ice Kachina crest has an incorrect skate blade and 2) how the Coyotes mark their game worn jerseys with sharpie

Prototype jerseys are fun
