It’s such a simple text. A simple message. Yet it was his favourite. Out of all his teammate’s messages, Sandy’s was his favourite. And Sandy didn’t just congratulate him but he made it personal. He didn’t want Shane to leave.

wish people who actually cared about the team and rooted for them sincerely made up the media instead of what we have now lmao like people always talk about how winning in playoffs is a big selling point for players to make that their destination so you'd think if that wasn't the case the media would be more mindful of their treatment of the team since that's one of the only major things ufas have to evaluate when thinking about where they want to go instead of getting angry and accusing people of not being able 'take the pressure', like my brother in christ you're the one inventing the pressure why does there have to be pressure at all why can't player interactions with the media be ever be a pleasant thing it's all so backwards idk lol

i think there will be some pressure regardless of how the media specifically handles it bc obviously toronto fans want to win and have a terribly long drought, but the media truly just elevates the rage around the team to a new degree. and we live in the era of clickbait and tabloids and ragebait, and it's honestly horrifying to watch people who interact with these guys almost daily during the season turn around and go out of their way to dehumanize them and insinuate the worst shit about them. like i know to some degree players will always be handled like pawns and moving parts in a larger picture when we talk about the makeup of the team, but to actually attack character and personality and get your digs in or spin your nonsense clickbait just to try to get engagement is so........... frustrating. to watch over and over and over. it's partially this era of 24/7 news and it's partially the toronto media with no fucking backbone.

Ew. A guy visiting from another office just walked in and said, “I heard a rumor you have a new boyfriend. Sidney Crosby?” First of all who is talking about me like that, I have certainly never spoken about Sid in that context to anyone at work for this very reason. Second, uh Sidney Crosby is my girlfriend?

☕️ the leafs! (or mitch)

not a fan of either 😂 i tend to find teams with huge loud entitled inescapable fanbases annoying in any sport so they are almost never where i gravitate. leafs fans (not like, my friends and mutuals who are leafs fans, who are obviously The Good Leafs Fans, but as a collective entity and especially in normie sports fan spaces) are just. too loud and annoying. the way that so much nhl stuff and hockey media revolves around and privileges the leafs is not the leafs' fault but it's still very annoying. not saying other people can't enjoy them but those are things that are turn-offs for me.

i disliked the leafs extra when kyle "multiple junior players committed sexual assault during my tenure as the ssm gm which i said was 'so far from a hockey situation' even though a similar situation was simultaneously happening at BU and their response was to interrogate how hockey culture had enabled it and how the institutions should do better" dubas was there because i don't like him and was grossed out by how fandom both woobified and daddyfied him. i have talked about my mitch feelings here and don't think i have anything to add.

however i do think matthews is an exciting player to watch and he also provided my favorite moment of this year's asg. william is my perfect precious boy will always be an honorary washington capital in my heart. i think it's funny how jt brings his own olive oil to places and will always have a soft spot for the jt/sam gagner bestfriendship.

started off the chris lore with one good post so i have to follow it up with a bad one: the insides of his beast form/his glow is yellow when he's Up To No Good because my favourite colour is yellow and i wanted an excuse to draw yellow guts. Some may think it's because he's blond, but nnnnope. I just like yellow :}
