Hockey players have weird af ankles
#anyway. finally getting around to posting this now that ovi iron bones is skating around again#because as soon as i heard he broke his fibula i went HOLD ON I KNOW ABOUT THIS FROM A CSYKORA POST which i think this was the first one#of theirs i ever saw. coincidentally i thought ko was really cool before i ever actually talked to them and found out they ARE super cool#because of a skating analysis post that lives in my drafts. i’ll probably post it in a minute when i find it lol VERY long post times here#but also i was telling a about the gretzky loving russians lore with tretiak taking the boys over to mr. gretzky’s the other day#which is to say: professing my eternal & undying love & gratitude to csykora at all times really. wealth of knowledge & a gift for sharing#i still cry every time i read khrlamov post. including just now when i read it again and started weeping. uncle borya beloved to me.#oh man am i missing words here. anyway meant to say that i found ko through a skating analysis post where i was like#‘i would listen to a podcast of you and csykora’ and ALSO same thing with kasper moregraceful né birdcage’s boyfriends against indicator#where i did not know who kasper was and was shy (i say as if i am not still shy) but now i’ll reblog and be like hi i love you bc it’s fine#hanif abdurraqib carly rae jepson powerpoint tell someone you love them today dot jpeg. working to unabashedly tell people that i love them#because i do!!! because i am so grateful to have you in my life!!! even as a stranger on the internet who just tells me cool things!!!!#like this one i’m bringing back. i have a v long list of people i loved before i ever got up the courage to talk to them (nik. c & izzy lol#and i ALSO have a post that’s like you know sometimes if you like something you can TELL someone and then you know what’s crazy!!!#sometimes they’ll tell you more about it!!!! & it feels like a scam!!!! but now i have so many people i love & so many i am working to tell#one day i will be brave enough to release my bookmarks into the comment box and sit down and format them all properly into words. sorry#ok sorry for being completely unrelated in the tags. but i do love learning.#i think there’s a version or a supplemental post that also speaks about weight-bearing re: dance and bone remodeling which is very cool!#ik i have a pretty deep background knowledge here (comparative) but still i’m consistently amazed at how clear & accessible this is <3#sports medicine#morgan rielly#nikita zaitsev#ron hainsey#toronto maple leafs#fibula

from: Zoe Boyd's instagram
#h e l p#<- CRYING aforementioned zoe boyd thirst post and this is the only#only tag i had. losing my entire mind rn because i see the cover photo and i go ‘AWOOGA’. sorry. this is a very serious & important message#about stigma and accessibility that is really important!!! please watch for that!!! if you need convincing well. let me just say. Her#(as in it’s a conversation we need to have lmao. i am not holding college zoe boyd up as the spokesperson for this bc. duh. anyway relevant#for people with periods [sorry that is my gripe is the lack of inclusive language which is just MY dysphoria popping out.] also for some#reason i have a fight or flight reaction to seeing zoe boyd where i go WOW THAT’S GONNA BE TERRIBLE FOR ME and i do not want to malign her)#zoe are you free on Saturday I’m free on Saturday if you want to ruin my life or whatever the tag is. why am i convinced we would have a#toxic torrid love affair??? can someone explain???? is it explainable??? anyway. coming from my kin friends it is astonishing the lack of#study and data on athletes who are not cis men and how much that potentially impacts training and care that we’re really only starting to#get a grasp of re: structure and development in primary care medicine vs specializing in sports which is super interesting and super not my#field of study but i DO love listening to research pitches and m 🏉 explaining her studies and courses. very fun and cool tbh#OH I HAVE LEARNING POSTS TOO!! i meant to post these when i first saw news of ovi skating after listening to the ycdt episode where it was#like oh several months healing time? oh four to six weeks? oh EXACTLY that time frame and ovi’s skating because his body heals from all the#extra pasta sauce he stores? and i wheezed my way down my run. anyway incoming million long posts sorry not sorry. draft cleaning!!!!!#zoe boyd#ottawa charge#pwhl ottawa

PULL ME MY STEED!! FORAGE AHEAD -captain papi battlecry
#me seeing this in full with my real eyeballs all the way from the clown slide to the boards to ??? why is he wiggling on his knees and then#instead of picking up my own phone like a normal person just repeatedly smacking h like H H H H H LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK H OH MY GOD 😭😭😭😭#but the timing was perfect because she DID get a video of this happening and we did shriek laugh for like. ten minutes afterwards.#other highlights of the game include her trying to explain a cowbell joke with fraser minten & easton cowan but she couldn’t remember them#so she was just saying things like mcminten? cow? connor? and i gasped SO LOUD with my real ass mouth and just went CONNOR DEWAR???#BECAUSE I FORGOT HE WAS ON THE LEAFS AND I COULD SEE HIM WITH MY REAL EYEBALLS!!! we did eventually figure out the cowbell joke after#i listed out just. a million men and we googled two different draft years but we were just wheezing the entire time.#and every time i clown on jeff petry he proceeds to have a fantastic game. they announce him for the starting lineup i go ‘his dad played#for the tigers’ h goes ‘DAN PETRY???’ and i say yes and the broadcast will tell you twice a game because he simply. does not do anything.#love him to death he’s not v good & THEN HE ACTUALLY PLAYED DEFENCE & HE SCORED TWO GOALS!!! FIRST TWO OF THE SEASON!! every single time.#anyway. every time i watch this i start laughing all over again i love it so much#auston matthews#jake mccabe#toronto maple leafs#detroit ride or die#also posting this in order to hopefully. prevent a curse being laid against the wings by my Tragique posting.#the leafs did a blood sacrifice to the amulet with minchy’s nose they’ll be fine

└ dewey in the goalie line covered in another man's blood | round one, game three: col vs. wpg | 4.26.24
#cw blood#WHAT THE FUCK#when you save the poem naming what has risen to your docs with the note ‘DEWEYS JERK THESISSSSS’ and then come back to THIS like oh my god#mullet. blood. my kind of man.#cite your sources sunday!!!#just kidding you guys this is accidentally turning into an unprompted scroll of how fundamental jerk is to me apparently#anyway what an era. what a moment. the mullet...#did you guys see that dewey was the one who started the barking on the caps#that's not really relevant except for how i was like can you imagine how feral all the caps would be if he brought out the mullet again#and then i remembered that & had to sit there & think about it & be like. well. if tj oshie isn't there i guess SOMEONE has to be the dog#brandon duhaime#colorado avalanche#alexander georgiev#rip that i recognized him by two inches of face under his mask alone. parallel universe goalie nolan patrick you live forever to me#and also have SO MANY of your own narratives. like the goalie lore goes CRAZY#in case you wanted almost the full text of the poem btw#Why not a crocus from this bulb?#Why not the purple of bees’ lust so that in honey she might taste something good? Under skin purple is a private taste#closer to the blood of her tongue closer to the blood she chokes on when she’s gasping to the clot behind her blackened eye.#The heated force that slammed her shin that pushed bone from the bone that arched her but did not approach caress is another kind of lust..#And inside? Nothing unique going on.#every line of that poem..... chef's kiss.#he got that mat barzal propensity for looking a lil better beat up#<- i think is the tag???

i love when a man is fresh of getting his ass beat. it’s like a pregnancy glow
#i-#dewey^2#cite your sources sunday!!!#ostensibly it is not sunday but sunday i got sidetracked on gimp making an edit and was not staying up until three#and if i don't post these all now when will they ever get posted. in five years probably. ANYWAY#<- many such cases in which i would love to simply mic drop tags and walk away unfortunately i can NOT shut up. this has been here since???#eternally to me this is the jerk thesis. honorary mention to the jerk thesis which changed my brain chemistry i think#and to me is a foundational fic for the deweys tag#this post was probably subliminally the inspiration for the bit about pregnancy glow in p (3? is it in 2?)#but that was mostly me referencing the pregnancy brain line and also i just. really wanted it in there#like it was such a fun game of how many stupid things can i make brandon say that are completely plausible For Him To Say#and will also not make me feel insane having to type them out. you guys got the VERY amended milk synthesis dialogue.#also missed out on the number of times i had to google “what do you call x?? word for x???” because his ass does not know the word manubriu#sometimes u are thwarted by wanting a common word for a hyperspecific thing so u don't type the word “back” “ass” thigh“ ”leg“ 80000 times#i think at the heart of a great many things i love lies these two sentences if i'm honest.#i love a man who cannot win a fight but still tries. unfortunately.#sometimes also the blood you're covered in is from falling off your bike. welcome to the world joel farabee losing to a goose#nobody ever said WHAT your ass was getting beaten by. emerging from his stats quiz covered in blood#also because eternally: travis konecny hey hey i'm just a little guy it's my birthdayyyy~

Connor’s excited to play some soccer! 01.10.23
#i need that possessive hand on connor’s back for. purposes. in the same realm of brandon telling him he’s so good not drinking for the baby#throuple vibes fr. mattboldy and dewey1 committed to the bit of being insane about connor dewar challenge. passed with flying colors#connor’s little hop… ohhhh killing me. orthopedic compression socks and all i’m so endeared#connor dewar#matt boldy#mats zuccarello#minnesota wild#like i DO feel unhinged watching this for the two seconds of highlighting connor’s back muscles that happens when boldy put a hand on his#sweatshirt and the way zuccy is super tiny and caked up but it’s fine. i’m fine. i’m being so productive and also clearing out my drafts.#<- wow i was a LIARRRRRR anyway more polycule handwaving if anyone wanted it#cite your sources sunday!!!#this one just goes here because i watched it an unhinged number of times it really didn’t have anything to do with any of the fics#because by the time i saw this the non-alcoholic beer bit was in dewey^2 p2 and i think the comment that pretty much became the opening bar#scene was written in there abt brandon ordering it for him. the way i was PLAGUED trying to figure out how to get ‘it’s better for the bb’#also can we all take a moment to appreciate his itty bitty ankles. if i knew why those stupid socks made me see shrimp colors#we wouldn’t be here would we. but i was (am) just SO endeared by his silly little team issued socks#and i never get around to posting this because i see it and i watch him do his little tigger hop on a loop at least ten times ✊😔#he IS excited to play some soccer wagtivities you’re so right. and i say this and laugh every time i see the caption it’s so good

shawzy and dewey 2 going tandem down the slide
#the IRRATIONAL (completely rational) anger that just coursed through my body like ‘THAT’S NOT HOW YOU GO DOWN A SLIDE’#DO YOU WANT ME TO HAVE TO BACKBOARD YOU OUT OF THE SPLASH ZONE HUNH!???#connor’s body is absolutely. oh my god. abs the tits the flex of his arms his farmer’s tan his legs his SHOULDERS?? biting. biting.#cite your sources sunday!!!#okay so once i got past being mad at dewey for being fucking STUPID going down a water slide with mason#some things never leave you i guess no matter how many years it is#there is. i. like. my god what a reference gif for connor here. sopping wet webkinz meme etc etc slamming him against the walls#things that were incredibly important to ME that I don’t know if they got conveyed in the fic was shawzy and dewey2 friendship because#while i needed him out of the way because if you thought connor was going to let brandon fuck him while mason was home you’re sooo funny.#but i agonized so bad about HOW to get him out of the way because before i had the going out being a date party i was like well what if#Mason is getting reassigned to iowa and connor’s got to drive him to the airport but i COULDN’T because shawzy got his permanent spot on#the roster in November and this fic needs to take place in the second half of the season I can’t send him to iowa!! I can’t do that to him!#so I made him be nebulously out in the same way I made boldy implied to be fucking fiala & therefore not home. but no implied fuck sorry 😞#also i made them live together because. me and st paul housing complexes are best friends (not) and i wanted dewey & mason to be roommates#do we. maybe i’m just not in the conversation but to ME. we do not talk nearly enough about the connor dewar/mason shaw best friendship#simultaneous broken shoulders/arms!!! helping each other out!!! listening to the wild on 7th interviews where they talk about how much they#call each other like YES we love the deweys and the best friend narrative but can we also. mason connor giggle fest here and brandon saying#he and boldy are besties and call and text all the time too. we have options and also possibly polycules I think i’ve said before. but!!!!!#i don’t really have any more valid commentary on this one i truly vacillate from watching the first gif and being mad to just 😵‍💫🤐 at the 2n#can y’all believe i had this in my drafts BEFORE i ever had the inklings of sohts? i’m just saying.#mason shaw#connor dewar#minnesota wild#all of their smiles—#the LAUGHS. killing me. big open mouth delighted laugh into covering his face ALSO SHAWZY TATTOOO MURDEROUS!!!! hello!!!!!

"money on the board" explained
if guys don't ever do it seen as "oh he doesn't care about the guys, the team" rookies are targeted but the more $ you're making the more $ you're expected to put up. gotta do it when you're playing hometown, former teams, family attending, big milestones
$ goes to holiday parties/outings together but can also be designated:
TRS = trainers
TD = team dinner
for the week after the season all the $ is used up partying for days
not just for game wins, can be for specific things:
GWG = game winning goal
"5 hits"
"single guys game" Saturday night games single guys encouraged to put up $ for going out after
fines (not mentioned in this vid but details here and here)
$ amounts:
NHL: min $500
AHL: $50, $75, but usually min $100
examples:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
19-20 dallas stars home opener (seguin put up $9,850 after signing his contract for $9.85m)
usual game in an 82 game season

#oh this is wonderful insider knowledge!!!#OH MY GOD THIS IS WJDIEIDJUW HOLD ON TBIS FIXED LIKE ALL OF MY PROBLEMS (just one but) in d^2 p2 because the. single guys going out. no.#date party. brandon put the money on the board for both of them we need to workshop this more but trust. the board will be in there#brendan perlini#dallas stars#for reference!#CITE YOUR SOURCES SUNDAY!!!#i love knowing things like this a) because i’m nosy but also b) i remember lexi saying wags ALSO do a big kinda pot thing where they fund#for each other’s bridal parties and team outings and stuff and she was in college and like. crying because she had no money and they were#making her pay dues like a sorority and she was like JT I CAN’T PAY DUES I HAVE NO MONEY so she made him pay and then was like yeah guys#bags are nice but also. if you get an athlete partner??? get them to pay for your EDUCATION and i laughed so hard like yeah actually please#and c) THIS DID IN FACT well i don’t know if it made SENSE but it was in there to ME help with dewey^2 p2 because it made me help explain#everything that was going on because i wanted it to be a misunderstanding SO BAD about the lipstick kiss and originally i had it being a#kiss from vero or dani being like my god you idiot. you’re in love with him. and he sprints there not even thinking about vero’s big ol’#friendly lipstick kiss to which i was like well how do i get the wags to the bar. why are they there#and then i was like WELL WAIT WHAT IF IT’S A COUPLE’S NIGHT OUT AND EVERYONE (INCLUDING BRANDON) JUST ASSUMES CONNOR’S COMING WITH HIM!!!#which is where the you stupid idiot comes in. brandon like idk i just thought he could come with me and vero’s like dear. sweet boy. why#did you just assume connor would come with you to an outing that was very explicitly a couples’ outing for the team and brandon is like 🕴️#anyway january sixth is cuddle up day if anyone wants to know why that line about moose saying cuddling and cocktails is in there.#AND the implication just before the end that dewey1 paid for both of them. that’s also there. also had to fact check myself because i#would have put WAYYYYY too little money on the board because it seems so absurd to me but like. i guess they have the money for it 😰#also like cannot say thank you enough for this op because it offers SUCH good insight into how the room works re: going out & money dynamic#which guys tease each other about a lot (tim stützle i am looking DIRECTLY at you) and going out gets written a lot so it’s fun to know#stuff like this. also because sometimes you’re like what do you MEAN they bought him a jet ski. can’t remember it right now but there’s#also articles (maybe a video?) about how guys get designated the team accountant who collects fines and manages everything and sometimes#guys hate it like i want to say it was an athletic article? and sometimes it’s like ‘you know how to add you HAVE to do it nobody else can’#& sometimes it’s like a guy really likes to do it & everyone’s like well. guess we know what you’re doing post hockey &it’s NOT real estate#for once. for some reason it’s in my brain that morgan rielly manages the leafs books and i could not tell you why i’m convinced of that#also the influence that Saturday night game $ single guys game note had on my psyche and fic. irrevocable. i love knowing that.
