"we feel like what we have here is something special."

Several things:

Glad Matty is okay, that was a really scary hit that could have ended super poorly.

I don't like being thirsty on main but yeah, that was really hot of Dunner to fucking take that guy out so quickly.

(and here's what y'all came for) Lars was 100% kissing Vince on the cheek behind that hat. He's shy so he blocked it with the hat, but we all know.

doesn't show it very well but Vince's little elbow :( It's all bloody and ouchie. I can't think of ANYONE who would be willing to tenderly clean it/put a bandaid on it/give it a little kiss to make it feel better. Absolutely no one. In the world.

The fact that Adam gave him the hat after the fight PROVES that he supports his baby feral cat but only when he's being smart about letting his fists fly/defending their team.

This particular vid doesn't show it but Dunner looked SO surprised when Adam called him for the hat. Baby has no concept of his worth/contributions to the team and it's a lil heartbreaking (once again, I cannot think of ANYONE who would be willing to kiss every inch of his body and murmur loving things into his skin until he cries because he's overwhelmed.)

anyway. Yeah. Obviously, I am super normal about this team and this defensive pairing. Clearly.

I love you krakenblr, forever and always. Congrats to us on a good win tonight. :)

VINCESS DUNN THE HAND PLACEMENT SIR

[squidsquadlove]

question for you, but also just krakenblr in general: favorite aspects/headcanons of the goalie nesting trope? I've been Researching (reading a very wide variety of fic to see what the general interpretation is) and the conclusion I'm coming to is that it really varies 😂

HI I AM SORRY FOR THE DELAY it has not been a good few weeks for health and ability to think clearly BUT ABOUT GOALIE NESTING:

Honestly, I think most people thinking about and writing about goalie nesting are making it up as we go! The idea that goalies can go feral and require a Safe Place and maybe it's their net or maybe it's a bed is a really fun one for anyone who loves goalies, because there are a few things that are universal among goalies:

Pucks do not belong in the net.

The crease is MINE, GTFO NOW.

If I'm left out to dry I reserve the right to go after the defensemen with a knife.

Whatever went wrong, everyone is going to blame me.

After a good game, I deserve praise, headbonks, and hugs.

BUT ALSO there is such a huge amount of protectiveness toward goalies that, between that and the headbonks, it seems like they need extra special caretaking! (You'll hear a lot of Canadian hockey players saying that they've been told ever since they can remember that you never, ever, EVER let someone run your goalie, and I don't like much about the TBL, but that one time when someone ran at Vasilevskiy and all five skaters on the ice immediately dropped their gloves and tackled the other team did win my respect.)

There are a few headcanons for goalie nesting that seem to be fairly universal, such as goalies growling or chirping when they're feral, often needing their teams' jerseys, and skaters being a little bit terrified of them. That's about it as far as I can tell, and there's so much less goalie nesting fic than I'd like!

For the Kraken, I've enjoyed the notion that it was harder for them to start nesting because of being an expansion team, so it was hard for everyone to get used to each other. I also love the idea that since Joey Daccord comes from a family tradition of goaltending, he might have started nesting at 12, gathering up his stuffed animals and guarding them with a mini goalie stick in his room. (Aww!) And given what Grubauer does when someone takes too many liberties in his crease, I imagine he's a really territorial goalie. 😂 But I would love to hear more ideas about goalie nesting!
