ASG anon again!

Damn, I wish I knew more about that. A colleague that works for the Leafs told me that Matthews likes to keep up with his sports. He follows updates of the NHL, PWHL, and golfing. Don’t know if they were watching that weekend though 🤔

I’ll try and remember a few memorable interactions:

McDavid and Matthews: the most hockey conversation ever. Two dudes who are all about the puck, so funny watching them both talk to each other in (I know I use this word a lot but it’s the best way to describe it) such a bro way. “Dude” “Yeah dude” “Oh no, yeah, for sure” “No really dude” “Holy!”

I remember now I forgot to include something I should have said way before. Filip Forsberg was so cute with the kids backstage, full-on dad mode. Very wholesome moment with Trocheck’s kids and he carried them in such a natural way (Vincent should learn to be better for his kids). I am rooting for him this season!

Morgan Rielly and Sam Reinhart are super tight! Didn’t know how much before. On drafting day it was so funny Reinhart said to Rielly to “pick the beasts then pick him”. Funny because I actually really enjoy watching Reinhart play more than I enjoy Rielly but that’s just me haha

Boone Jenner and his wife are adorable. Heard the news about their son and it made me super sad because all he talked about was becoming a dad. Feel for him and actually like him a lot. She’s also so supportive of him, their whole family was there and she looks genuinely into the game unlike other partners.

Sebastian Aho and Jeremy Swayman are now good buddies too. Don’t know if they were before. Aho is clearly an introvert, but so polite in the same way Swayman is so I can see how they vibe.

Got the vibes Kaprizov doesn’t really like Kyle Connor. Ignored him all weekends except at the beginning. Also side eyed him. Not kidding. Like a high school girl haha don’t know why. Will let you know if I find out anything!

they would not survive a day lol. i get it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's not like i'm going and sending them weird shit abt their fanfics, i stay in my lane and they should learn to stay in theirs

mcdavid & matthews: they played together during the NHL world cup thing in 2016 and spend a lot of time at media events etc together so it makes sense they were chatting etc!

trocheck: wow do better buddy

forsberg: that's very cute, i think his wife is expecting too

rielly & reinhart: i've actually posted abt this before - they've been friends since childhood! they grew up together :)

boone jenner: really nice to hear abt him and his fam. that news of them losing their baby was so sad. really hoping for the best for them

aho & swayman: aw that's sweet!

kaprizov & connor: the wild and the jets were feuding all season lol some very contentious games so that doesn't surprise me
