"i already told the boys im keeping this one [the cup belt]" wow what a shocker matthew i couldnt have forseen any of this happening at all

there is genuinely nothing more delightful than to know that during dinner (before they migrated over to e11even later on that night) the restaurant played a custom intro as sasha came in with the cup with matthew leading the way with his emotional support belt and the cats absolutely lose their minds over their captain

my personal favourites are: mikksy clapping like a nerd, lombo capturing the whole thing on his phone like a proud mama, monty stolie and swaggy just grinning and shouting in pure joy and benny pumping his arms up and down

everyone playing in the nhl loves hockey but matthew LOVES hockey. not just as a sport or a livelihood but as a product a story a form of entertainment. you have cmd calling him the type of player who understands the gamesmanship of the sport you have the espn announcers pointing how much media he's done in order to sell the game. "if the league asks me to do something i usually say yes." like. okay.

admits he's a bad fighter and throws down anyway to give his team and the fans something to root for!! always has time for the press and makes his little jokey jokes with them and feeds them soundbites. every player says they want to "grow the game" but HE goes on nba on tnt and acts SO at ease and SO charming in front of people (shaq) who tell him outright they know nothing about hockey.

he cares so much not just about winning but about making sure people are entertained. he understands!! that media attention comes with playing well and he's willing to take on the responsibility of being the face of the franchise and drawing more people to the game, and he does it all without overshadowing his teammates because no matter how many interviews he does he will never shut up about how much he loves them.

Sports fans after any game:

“hating this” “anti that” this is SPORTS the one place where being a hater is completely legalised and i will take full advantage of that. wishing death is hands off because it’s a high stakes one but praying for haemorrhoids is already in enough of a grey area to be ok. I WILL HATE ON EVERYONE I DON’T SUPPORT AND IF YOU TRY TO STOP ME I WILL HATE ON YOU TOO.

[malkinfiles]

the problem with being in a sports fandom is that at some point they all stop playing the sport for awhile and disappear? and like what am i supposed to do now. i’ve become accustomed to a certain level of enrichment in my enclosure.

kinda fucked up the french civil war happened behind the scenes instead of cameras all on them like the real housewives of rouen. I wanna see ocon throw a glass of champagne at gasly and gasly screech-correcting him that's actually sparkling wineeeeeee
