i'm glad that tom brady's transfer and subsequent retirement made the patriots like 3000% less annoying and i no longer quite feel the obligation to hate boston as a philadelphian and a football fan. that being said i am incredibly jealous that they get dibs on the dropkick murphys for all regionally themed events. playing the opening riff for shipping up to boston while your delegates announce who they're supporting for president-elect at the DNC honestly fucks so severely

I’m not the original theory anon but would love to hear your theories on Lindy hating Europeans (I agree 100% especially poor Timo)

strap in, anon, strap in.

there's plenty of tinfoil hats for everyone, ahaha.

Bratter - Lindy notoriously used to bench Bratter during the 2021-2022 season. It was always so ridiculous too. And then in the 2022-2023 season, I dont know if you remember, but in the beginning of that season someone (maybe Novo?) asked Lindy about Bratter's ice time, and he replied back that he thought Bratter had played enough and I am positive that he played less than ten minutes that night, which is absurd. Bratter is way too talented now for Lindy to rag on him, but he was Lindy's punching bag for a bit there.

Timo - Is it a coincidence that Timo started playing lights out as soon as Lindy left? Who is to say. Yes, I realize it coincides with him getting healthy, but also, how do you not immediately put Timo with Nico. Or at the very least in the top six. He was playing on the third line at most points. Even during the stadium series I'm fairly certain he was on the third line. Absurd. And playing Timo on his off wing. And benching Timo.

Nico - I can't believe he tried to make his number one center a fucking shut down center for like the first half of this season, what a fucking joke. Like yes, Nico is one of the best two way centers in the league and yes his defensive game is very good, but he was playing Nico as a shutdown line, which is absurd. Have we seen Nico's offensive numbers? That boy is basically a PPG player for the past two seasons at least. Firmly believe, that if Nico wasn't captain, Lindy would give him scraps. I remember the UTTER disbelief I had when he finally gave Nico a compliment after the Stadium Series.

Holtzy - I mean this one's so fucking obvious right. Like I don't even think I need to explain. Constantly benching him. Constantly shitting on him during media availability. Burying him on a fourth line that failed to use him correctly.

Siegs - Remember when he benched fucking Jonas Siegenthaler during the first game of the playoffs last season? What the fuck was that. And I'm pretty sure it was to play Brendan Smith who like immediately took a penalty.

Shango - Still bitter that they sent him away because Lindy completely misused him. He and Jack had such insane chemistry during Shango's first couple of seasons. Jack used to center him and Kuokks and they were so much fun to watch. And then I don't fucking know what Lindy was doing with Shango. Benching him, moving him around the line up, he was playing on the fourth line when he's a natural shooter. Like what the fuck. Kid had an insane shot. The only thing he did right was let Shango stay on the PK. Had some great shorties/was a part of some great shorties.

I used to say that the only European Lindy liked was Tomas Tatar because no matter what Tatar would do, he would always play. I think that role has since been taken over by Ondrej Palat. Frankly shocked he let Nemo play as much as he did. I know its because his hand was forced, but shocking nonetheless.

The main issue is that he has a type of player he really really loves (the Miles Woods and the MM20s and the Brendan Smiths of the world) and he lets them get away with mistake after mistake after mistake, but he doesn't treat his players equally at all. It was so fucking frustrating seeing some guys go out there and fuck up and not have any consequences and others go out there and make a mistake and be benched or sent to the shadow realm immediately. Like if you're gonna discipline do it evenly across the board!

I'm trying to remember what he was like with some of our past Euros like Pavs and Goose and Mango and Zetts. I feel like he didn't give Boqy enough chances either and Boqy was a sneaky solid bottom six player.

anyway, good riddance.

These past earthquakes are a bit concerning, I've been feeling aftershocks all night. I felt them when I was in philly but then went home to family, who live on the fault-line in the highlands, and it's been consistent.

We have had earthquakes here before, the last epicenter I felt was a mile away from us in 2010-ish. But none of them have ever had aftershocks I could feel. I'm hoping the ramapo fault isn't becoming seismically active again because our building codes do not have earthquake protection

Hand in hand like fairytale children leaving a gingerbread house, we made our way out. We were done with Gatsby. The rain had come back, solid and drenching, and we ended up sitting on Nick’s back step together, his jacket slung over my shoulders, sharing a cigarette while he occasionally reached to kiss my hand.
