since jam requested it, here are a few highlights from sid’s interview on the latest 32 thoughts:

Q: “The night you flew in, I guess, to meet with Dubas, is that not true then?”

A: “Naw, so what happened is he was coming to visit and I had just got back from vacation and it just happened that I was coming back into town for a day or two before leaving again. And, uh, they said that he was going to the practice rink, so I just happened to be there at the same time and had the opportunity to meet him. But it wasn’t, like, some- It was really last minute.”

Q: “You’ve rolled your eyes at me a lot over the years. That was a good one.”

A: “Yeah! I didn’t fly in. Actually the way it worked out it was perfect. I was literally home for like an hour. He happened to be going to the practice rink. So it worked out well. I could go meet him and say hi. At that point nothing was for sure. I think he was trying to check things out, get a lay of the land and take a look, so it was far from being permanent, and it just worked out well.”

Q: “I reached out to some of your teammates and one of them said ‘I don't know if I've ever seen him as pissed off as he was at the end of last season’. What pissed off Sidney Crosby last year?

A: “How it was just such a struggle for us to find consistency…. We were kind of chasing it from early on but we had put ourselves in a spot to get it. It wasn’t like it was a miracle. We needed to win our last two games to get to go through all that. That's something we had done in years past. And we didn't do it this time. So that was frustrating.

And there's nothing better than playing in the playoffs. At this point that's the most exciting thing. You get up for the matchups throughout the regular season and you have that motivation, but playoff hockey - that's why you play.

You just crave that. You crave that atmosphere, that environment and the opportunity to win the Stanley Cup.”

Q: “There's someone who said to me that they really think that what the NHL needs is you and Connor McDavid on the same team playing for Team Canada. That's what this sport badly needs… Who moves to the wing?”

A: “I go there (laughs).”

Q: “No! You’re supposed to say he goes there!”

A: “(laughs) Listen, I’ve skated with him. And I've played both. I think I'm good either way with playing centre or wing. Whatever he wants to do, he can carry the mail. I'll just find the open spots.”

king mcdavid and his prince consort leon (the lion) draisaitl

(based on this clip from an article mentioning these two)

one timer! and oh. the stick exploded on leon draisaitl...

I’m so tired of Nathan MacKinnon and Nikita Kucherov. Connor and Leon not being the top two point getters in the league is not natural and not ok. I need them to wake up and start racking up the points. I hate it here

“Leon Draisaitl, sandcastle building professional 🏖”

[crow-the-unknown]

ok but like. there was a really adorable shot of connor and nate chatting and smiling like idiots (IN LOVE?? sorry i'll shut up... unless..) and to me that's just another coloradmonton oilanche win

[oliviabelova]

may not be able to lb tonight your girl HAS A DATE????

[methylbromide]

God, no wonder Connor McDavid tries to be as bland as possible during interviews. He literally makes one comment about how the Leon Draisaitl Offsides call was a bad call and he’s literally trending on google about it now. Goddamn.

I love how two of the best lines in all of AT (“Finn this is literally serious” and “see this is a good example of why I want to kill you”) are in the same episode

[unidentifiedfroggy]

i know like.. together again kind of makes it weird with the postmortem adoption shenanigans. but im genuinely surprised tiffany x finn isnt, or at least wasnt, a more popular ship. it has everything. death threats. homoerotic tension. cyborg4cyborg. whats not to love.

[crow-the-unknown]

no but drat looks so displeased lol. i would be too king
