In light of everything going on in the hockey world lately (I’m not trying to dismiss the situation, I’m using different words because this post specifically involves the hockey fandom & don’t want to take away from that), some of y’all need to learn how STOP DOING THIS (see photo).

Stop perpetuating this cycle. It’s been proven time and time before that “oh don’t stan him, stan him instead” does not work at all. These guys are not the perfect well put together people that we see portrayed by the media, by their teams and in fanfics. They all have the capacity to disappoint and be horrible. Yes, you are still allowed to like people (there’s still good people in this world and I advise against liking people who are obliviously garbage) but just don’t let your parasocial relationship take so much control in your life.

What these players are being charged for is so much bigger than your fandom and support for them. There was a person who was very likely wrongfully harmed by those players and those allegations should be taken very seriously, even if it hasn’t gone through the legal system yet.

It’s valid and it’s okay if you’re upset/hurt/feel disappointed with all of it right now. It’s a very sad, horrible, and heavy thing. This post is just to help emphasize the concept in the photo because some of yall need to get it through your heads. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk😌

NHL's top 30 over 30

1. Sidney Crosby

His projections aren’t quite the strongest, and he’s going to miss time after offseason wrist surgery, but we’re going to rephrase the premise as a question: Which of these players would you rather have for one single year than Sidney Crosby? He’s still, somehow, good at everything — and he gets the crown over both Bruins because they spend every shift with each other. Apologies to Jake Guentzel; he’s not Brad Marchand. Don’t overthink this. If you’re picking one, it should be Crosby.

This season’s concern: The wrist. The no-Malkin workload. And most of all, the age. At some point, someone else will be in this spot. That’s how it works — just not quite yet.

GSVA projection: 3.61

18. Kris Letang

Letang is who is he has been: An elite, high-event offensive defenseman whose defensive play — while not great — is better than many seem to think. His skating is still there, as is his importance to driving play with the Penguins’ top line. Pittsburgh needs him to be in top form, especially early, given injuries to Malkin and Sidney Crosby. It’s been a while since Letang hasn’t had at least one of those two in the lineup alongside himself.

This season’s concern: That the aging curve takes Letang’s defensive impacts from adequate to problematic.

GSVA projection: 2.12

27. Evgeni Malkin

Putting Malkin in this list at all — remember, we’re only talking about this season — is a leap of faith. It’s not because of Malkin’s brutal start in 2020-21, either; that was more a function of the pandemic offseason than the aging curve. It’s because of his knee injury. Damage to multiple ligaments at 35 is no joke, and the best-case scenario involves him missing “at least” two months. The worst case is … well, worse, and it changes the calculus considerably. How he looks when he returns is a very open (and very fair) question.

This season’s concern: That he returns sometime around the holidays, needs considerable time to get back into game shape, gets waylaid by the Olympic break and never looks like himself.

GSVA projection: 2.24

[sidneycrosbyisprettierthanme]

i'm still not over the fact that this nineteen year old kid-- a teenager before his first pro camp-- looked at the entire league and everything that comes with it and said “If I can inspire or help make a difference to one person, then I’ve done my job in wanting to create change and to create an environment where it’s healthy for players to come out now" like holy shit what a statement, what a decision, what a weight on his shoulders. i truly wish him so well in everything.
