Arrivals but not business style

Keeping things casual.

For younger fans, who arrived at the party late and missed the fun part, a core appeal of this team even as its on-ice performance has become increasingly maddening has been the compelling interpersonal dynamic between its players, namely Crosby and Malkin. The contrast of Crosby’s stoicism and quiet decency with Malkin’s goofiness and heart-on-sleeve emotion combined with their improbable two-decade partnership — intact because of hours-long pleading phone calls on the eve of 2022’s free agency period — is the defining dynamic of the franchise since 2005.

It’s also, perhaps unsurprisingly, the basis for tens if not hundreds of thousands of words of fiction. The authors of those stories, whose tendency to take extreme creative liberties with the nature of the relationship has earned the ire and often disgust of more conventional fans, have nonetheless hit on a truth: that what the Penguins are actually doing on the ice is probably the least interesting thing about them at this point.

when a sports writers say your team sucks there’s a reason people write rpf and they’re so valid
