at this point I genuinely hope mitch gets traded to a west coast team and has a fulfilling life and career. and I hope that career leads him to the scf where he meets the leafs, who finally clawed their way to the end, and I hope he nets the cup winning goal that crushes the hopes and dreams of this miserable, miserable fanbase
my dear siblings in arms
last night we gained an unlikely but welcome ally for the mitch marner defense squad
he showed up in a cloud of mist then leapt into hand-in-hand combat vs. the leafs uncles who want to do a variety of things to mitch, ranging from cyberbullying him out of town to "healthy scratch[ing] him for 2 months so he wants to leave" (an actual idea someone thought to post publicly).
without further ado, i present: [cue gladiator soundtrack]
Jfresh.
some additional observations:
if u look at the timestamps for these he was fully in the trenches battling from 3pm-1am.
his calm replies make the uncles look even more obtusely deranged than they already are
he may be doing this with the ulterior motive of trying to get mitch on the penguins and honestly....let's fuckin go
natemac's such a great insider source because not only will he just Say Stuff unprompted but he also does not appear to know what Stuff is "too revealing" to say. mans out there telling everyone that time sidcros got hammered at his party or he watched a romcom snuggled in bed with jo drouin or the tyson barrie worlds Wrestling Incident just unbarred no decorum no nothing. lets go nate
you ever think about how patrick marleau constantly told auston matthews, the boy from the desert who by no means should have been meant for hockey but is, and mitch marner, the boy that was born and bred into hockey and still has people breathing down his neck to be better, to never forget how good they are. to never forget how great they’ll be. how he said that he believes that they’ll be the two to bring the cup back home to toronto. and when they do he’s going to think about playing mini sticks with them in his basement and eating dinner at his table. how he thanked them for welcoming him into THEIR family in toronto. how watching them play and seeing their love for the game made him fall in love with hockey again. you ever think about the impact that man had on them because i do almost daily.
hello I just wanted to tell you I love the tkitty tkats with my ENTIRE SOUL. i don’t know what i like more the idea of panther-sized matthew tkatchuk or house cat sized matthew tkatchuk (oh god now i am picturing tkittens matthew & Brady with grown cat Keith).
in conclusion TKITTY TKATS!!!!

not sure how little quinn mews ended up here.. but ty for loving the tkitty tkats!!
no one is using instagtam like trevor zegras like he gets it. the narratives the metaphors the intention ohhhh. posting the grid mostly silly photos with his boys, humanizing himself and the guys, showing that’s he’s essential to them as a person, in and out of the room. then following up a day later with game day photos that include him alone with his reflection, heading off to whatever battle he has to face that day. another one with everyone blurred out. it’s him alone of the ice and the mostly empty crowds. ending with a photo of him smiling, happy in the arms of the teams top goal scorer. essential to the fabric of the team. to his friends and all the lives he touches. you can paint whatever picture you want but at the end of the day he’s going kicking and screaming from Anaheim. It was promised to him once and by god it will be his again
was going through my old wips for writing inspo and stumbled across this isolated scene from a fic with a premise i really enjoy but haven't ever elaborated upon for some reason...posting here bc i actually kinda like this scene (?) and also bc I'm hoping posting it will motivate me to work on this and my other mattdrai fic languishing from neglect
