I made myself a little bit insane last night thinking about how at every level of hockey, the OHL and the AHL and now here, Kyle Dubas has chosen Sheldon Keefe - somebody that nobody trusted to do anything when he was first hired to the Greyhounds and just wanted a second chance to remake his hockey life on his own terms - as the person he trusts with executing his vision and plan. with bringing the Greyhounds back to life, with winning it all for the Marlies, with breaking this fucking curse. and all three times, he's been right. I've previously described Keefe as being like Dubas's "shovel friend" - the person you know you could call and say "i need you to help me bury a body" and they would just show up no questions, shovel in hand, ready to be an accomplice, ready to attach themselves to the consequences of your actions. "i need you to coach the godforsaken Toronto Maple Leafs for your first NHL-level job. I need you to join me in the pressure cooker." Dubas got one chance to pick his own coach after Babcock finally got punted, to have someone he could actually trust in that role to execute the vision (because Babcock outright refused to), and he turned around and for the third time put it all in Sheldon Keefe's hands. and he was just proven right to do so. he trusted his guy. and he was right.
Thank you @rae-nell !! tonight maple is taking over the blog lol
I adopted maple last year and I actually know next to nothing about her. she’s approximately 2-3 years old, we think she’s a maine coon/tabby mix. I live in new england and she came from somewhere in the midwest, she was a stray living in a trailer park. she has had babies.
I sometimes wonder what her old life was like, and how many people she crossed paths with in her short existence before coming into my life. she used to be skittish but now is very silly, loving, and seems content sticking by me. I’m very lucky to have her :)
What are the types that most people on here find "scary" actually?
Me personally? it's psychic types, I'm not like SCARED scared of them— not since I've started to study them more for class at least– but idk, a lot of them are weirdly eerie 2 me.
I really hope people stop bringing up the 60 goals thing to Matthews. I'm not saying it's not something he should be proud of, but it's a new season and I think the fact people keep bringing it up is just causing him to put a lot of pressure on himself. So he's scored 1 goal in 5 games, we have 77 games left. Like give the man a break omg
