sometimes its so crazy to realize that there's actually a lot of things i like. that i thought i didn't like because i was a depressed teenager. i love being outside! i love swimming! i love talking to people! even strangers sometimes! i love getting dressed in fun outfits and doing makeup! i love reading and going to art museums! i just thought i was doomed forever to a life of complete and total apathy and void! and now look at me! still a little shaky but i'm doing it!!!!!
hey i hope you're well! i'm new to the nhl and the sens have charmed me for some reason lol so i'm just trying to learn as much as i can. your presentations were already really helpful and i was wondering if there's any more inside jokes/essential stories etc i need to know to get to know the team better. alternatively, are there any games i should go back and watch/your favourite matches etc.? thanks a ton :))
hi anon, welcome!
to me, one of the best things about the sens is that they're not in a huge market and had a couple of really bad years which took away a lot of the attention and pressure off of their young players as they were rebuilding. they were given the space to be clowns.
maybe one of the funnest pieces of sens lore is how often the sens (brady) go to bars and do whatever they can to draw as much attention to themselves as possible. brady has been known to get behind the bar and start serving drinks and get up on stage and start singing with the band.
Other fun pieces of sens lore to hook you in:
any kind of behind the scenes content with thomas chabot is immediately iconic because that man is constantly flirting with teammates - josh norris, the goalies, tim stützle, shane pinto
brady and tim have a tradition of brady slamming tim into the boards during warm ups at the beginning of every game: excellent, 10/10, good vibes,
tim can and will fall over at the slightest gust of wind. you would think this professional ice hockey player would know how to skate on ice without falling alas
this offseason, we'll be talking a lot about the sens ownership race. the sens' previous owner passed away last year and now they're looking for someone new to buy the team. this in itself wouldn't be that interesting, but for some reason, some celebrities have decided to get involved and say they're interested in buying them. ryan reynolds has been talking about it for the longest, but it looks like he recently pulled out. snoop dogg and the weeknd have also said that they are interested, so we'll see where it goes.
I know you mentioned it in your ask, but there are a couple basic get to know the sens primers available here and here and this youtube video is good way to get to know the players.
Nobody tells you actually how funny it is to run into someone when they're waking up. Because my sleep schedule is more of a sleep plan, there's no set times but it's probably gonna happen. My brother was getting up for work and saw me and was like "??why are you awake?? Why aren't you asleep?"
Saw some hypothetical post about going back to when you’re six with all the knowledge you have now, and that would be torture. Why would I want to be six years old with knowledge of all the Horrors? You can’t do anything to stop them. You’re six
Joshua 6:23-27.
But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the…
