So I'm not sure if you guys know, but I've had a letter board that for the last year or two has had this on it:

And tonight I finally gathered the willpower to change it. Everyone, please welcome:

This took so long that it will probably stay for just as long as the last one 😅

i just saw ilya bryzgalov 'why you heff to be mad' in a fucking smosh video what goddamn yEAR IS IT

[datzyuk]

couldn't pay me to use hockey twitter but i am interested in what 10 year old drama they're talking about 👀

idk if it's necessarily /drama/ but ppl are still discovering funny videos & photos from the last 10-15 yrs of hockey that went viral on here back when they actually happened

the post was inspired by this tweet and istg i have seen this photo at least once a season on here

the other day someone made a thread of funny ilya bryzgalov videos and someone was like "who is this guy???!!" and that made me feel very old. OP even included that tumblr post where someone made his quotes look like ~inspirational quotes~

also like. last week i witnessed someone finding out about jamie benn and the bunch mox tweet

anyways it just makes me feel old! bc hockey twitter definitely skews younger than tumblr imo

[chadillacboseman]

Wait... are you an Anaheim Ducks fan????

Yep! Well, mostly I'm a Habs fan, but my husband is a Ducks fan, so I am partial to them myself! John Gibson will always be my beloved.

I own an Ilya Bryzgalov jersey from back when he was #80.

🐺 ⚔️ ❄️ 🐀 for the hockey asks!

🐺 Build a NHL starting line up (3F, 2D, 1G) based on a really weird criteria for comedic effect (e.g. guys with names that sound like Dylan).

it will only consist of captains. they must compete for Ultimate Captain

Sidney Crosby, Gabriel Landeskog, Aleksander Barkov (specifically bc he is the only other person i know of who spells his name that way, and i think he followed me on twitter once upon a time)

Jared Spurgeon, Roman Josi

goalies can't be captains (boo!) but Flower has the correct energy for this team

⚔️ What is goaltender interference? (Wrong answers only).

answered this previously: when you try to give a goalie a hug but some guy shoves you out of the way and makes you sad

❄️ What is your most and least favorite thing about winter?

i love snow!! i hate when its negative a thousand and i have to go outside

🐀 What is the funniest thing you’ve ever heard a hockey player say?

Duhaime saying "For him to do this at 50, it’s special.” about Flower the other day was so fucking funny, esp with Kaprisov saying "“I don't feel like he's 39 years old, he looks 18"

honorable mention for the ever classic "its only game, why you have to be mad?" from Ilya Bryzgalov

[dontforgetoctober3rd]

Hockey Tag Wooooo

Got tagged by @againstthegrainphoto for this CURSE YOUUUU but anyway here it is!

Rules:

List your number 1 team: Vegas Golden Knights! I wasn't there right from the very beginning but i did start rooting for them in their very first season right in the middle of when all the goalies were going down. I was like yesss i love an underdog story! I love sparkle and glitter and pizzaz! They just seemed so fun. I thought rooting for the new (at the time) team would be a perfect way to get into hockey since they didn't have a history with drama...and then they went and became sworn enemies of the Sharks and made it all the way to the cup final that same year lmaooooo but i love them even more now

Favorite Goalie: oof this has to be a toughie but I really like two of them, the first being my team's very own Robin Lehner because he shows that you really can grow and change as a person (will always love him for kneeling with Reavo, that was iconic) and i also like that his nickname is Panda lmao. My second fave has to be the iconic Ilya Bryzgalov, because he, even for a goalie, was considered a weirdo just for daring to show a little personality and also I just think its hilarious that the Flyers still have to pay him through 2027 lmaoooooooo

What my jersey number would be: oh it would without a doubt be 96, the year I was brought to the USA. Not only would my life be vastly different if i had never been brought here but I would be a totally different person.

The team I would play for: oh my oh myyyyyyy...Listen, I love Vegas but I honestly would LOVE to be a goalie for the Bruins (DON'T ANYBODY COME FOR ME FOR THISSSSS) I've always thought bears in general are cool and as much as I love clowning on Boston as a city, I think their nickname is really really cool (the city of champions wooo)

Current favorite player: Jonathan Marchessault, look i just love underdog stories i practically collect them like pokemon ok! He was undrafted as a rookie and then after putting his work for a few years, his third team decides he isn't worth protecting when the expansion happens. He wasn't a superstar at first but he put in the work and dragged that MVP award and Stanley Cup kicking and screaming into his grasp. The man runs on pure spite, if his enemies go low he goes lowER and I LOVE IT

A Trade that hurt me emotionally: oh god where do i begin!? I have so many but I gotta go with Flower's trade. He was the heart and soul of this new team of misfits, a team that fit his personality, and he was basically thrown away like yesterday's garbage smh

What has my experience on hockeblr been so far: Honestly? I love it, even with all the drama . I once insulted Quinn Hughes in the tags of a post and his fangirls CAME for me lmao caling me a whore and everything but it was no skin off my back, I just got my boyfriend, Block Button, to take care of that for me hahahah. But overall I would say hockeyblr is pretty friendly in general, especially in comparison to twatter and instagram.

Alrighty, then i have to tag peeps whose hockey business I'd like to know so i tag: @lollo12589

Only do it if you wanna lmaoo

[austronauts]

i know ilya bryzgalov said the iconic line "its only game why u heff to be mad"

but has he considered the fact that i am rarely mad

I AM sIMPLY USUALLY SCREAMING IN ANXIETY AND TRAUMA-BONDING WITH MY GOALIE

hockey players + quotes i think about daily [2/?]

[Image description: a set of ten gifs, all of hockey players.

Travis Konecny saying, "I will not sing it, but uh... Party in the U.S.A is probably my favourite song."

PK Subban during an NHL All-Star game skating by the opposing bench. He taunts, "I'm in your kitchens. Both of your kitchens. I'm cooking steaks--steaks, ribs, chicken stir fry, pancakes..."

Gabriel Landeskog and Erik Johnson sitting next to each other. They're each holding a whiteboard. Gabe says, "We look the same," and gestures at the two of them. Erik looks down at his board and scoffs, and says, "No we d--God, I'm a poor man's you."

Ilya Bryzgalov, wearing a leather jacket and sitting in a dimly lit room. He says, "Solar system is so humongous big, right?" as he leans forward.

The Philadelphia Flyers all standing together for a group team photo. Travis Konecny is standing next to Nolan Patrick. Travis says, "Smile, Pat?" Nolan replies, "No." Both of them are staring forward, neutral expressions on their faces throughout the exchange.

Tyler Seguin, a Dallas Stars player, standing on the ice. He calls, "Roope! You go, babe."

Tyler Seguin wearing a suit and saying, "Guys at home, if you're single, give me a call. We'll hang out." An animated a red heart with an arrow through it and a banner that says "Single's Awareness" appears on the screen next to him, and then is replaced with an animated candy heart that says "Call me" on it.

Claude Giroux and Travis Sanheim standing in front of an elevator. They're both wearing suits. Claude, grinning slightly, says, "Dinosaurs, they're actually really focused all the time, you know that? It's a fun fact for you." Then he turns away toward the elevator. His teammate replies, "But they're extinct, so..."

A break during a Red Wings/Islanders game. Drew Miller (a Red Wings player) is standing on the ice. He gestures with one arm and says, "Don't fucking do stupid shit."  Matt Martin (an Islander) is sitting on the bench. The camera switches to him as he says, "Go dye your hair."

Nathan MacKinnon looking amused and scared as he shakes his head and says, "I don't wanna hold your baby. It's too much pressure. I don't even know how to hold a baby."

[never-a-president]

Ilya Bryzgalov was never president of the United States.
