Are Connor and Dylan still friends? Or did they start to fade after their draft until eventually Connor bonded with Leon? I just find the way Connor forms relationships with other men to be so, so fascinating. I think I read another post somewhere that Connor and Leon just instantly clicked or something, and Iâm just like đ«
now. from what ive heard + seen connor didnt go to dylans wedding last sumemr (or two sunmers ago ?) + they barely looked eachother in the eyes at the end of rhe chi-edm 2020 series and publically havent been seen w one another for years BUT dylan liked a tweet about one of connorâs highlight reel goals from this playoff run so. maybe something something i havenât spoken to you in years but i still think of you on your birthday and my mom makes apple pie the way your mom did and does your brother still shuffle cards the way i taught him etc etc and to the leon point well. connor needs someone to pass to and he needs someone he knows will be there on the ice and recieve the puck and get it into the back of the net 99 times out of 100 and he needs an alt and a 2C and someone to step up if heâs out and someone to support and somejne to support him (something something that one line from dodie sick of losing soulmates leaning on a superglued human) and also their whole thing of leon being the german gretzky and connor being the next one and how they grew up through the oilers together and they make eachother better and all and anywat to my og point connor is not someone who wants to go through it all alone he wants to win a team sport as a team and with a best buddy he trusts with his life and sometimes wants to kiss
#like all of the coming is truly from my mind BUT. cmd saviour of hockey v dylstrome bouncing between the o and the a and the nhl bouncing#between teams often called the biggest bust of the 2015 draft likeee#and theybhavent been in the same conference for years now let alone division#i can forsee something similar to natemac/jodrou happening w them in the sense that i have the nyt connections delusion for homoromantic#hockey players but its anyones guess really#and dylstrome seems settled in washington#asks#[redacted] tumblr user

Bear and Bug 3: The Distance
a/n: Here is the much-awaited pt 3!! We have a feature from Jack and a glimpse into his friendship with Bug!! Enjoy :)
masterlist | bear and bug masterlist
It didnât take Quinn long to get back in your good graces, and soon, it was like nothing had happened between you two at all, well, not exactly nothing. Calls between the two of you were significantly more lovey-dovey, and they always ended with a soft âI love youâ from each of you, which would have never happened before. The biggest difference, though, was the intense longing you now had to see Quinn. He was right about you only spending time with Jack until it was basically too late, and now you feel like you wasted a lot of time that you could have spent with your new boyfriend. Quinn often assured you that it was okay. Heâd promise that summer would come soon enough, and you could spend plenty of time together then.Â
You couldnât really believe him, though, because that directly conflicts with the most difficult part of your relationship. Neither of you have spoken a word about it to Quinnâs family, or yours for that matter, and Jack was at the top of the ânot tellingâ list. You and Quinn had decided it was best to keep your romance to yourselves for the moment, not wanting to cause any drama if the distance didnât work, so youâve been biting your tongue on every phone call with Jack, trying to keep your mouth shut about it. If you were being honest, the guilt was starting to creep in. He was already having a really tough season, what would he think if he found out his best friend was dating his older brother behind his back? How much worse will it be if he finds out months from now? You werenât really keen on keeping this secret from Jack in the first place. You two tell each other everything, so you knew heâd be hurt when he eventually found out. However, it was that fear of hurting him that kept you from letting him in. You didnât want to add to the emotional turmoil he was already in. He had been calling you almost nightly at this point, crying and telling you that he wasnât even sure he enjoyed hockey anymore. People had been calling him a bust all season, and it was getting to his head, making him wonder why New Jersey would draft him in the first place. After hearing how distraught heâs been all season, you knew you couldnât add to that.
âI just donât know what to do,â Jack sighed into the phone one night. âAm I even right for this team? Would I be right for any team?â his voice began to break.
âJack, no,â you let out a breath, shocked that your confident, easy-going best friend was feeling down enough to doubt his talent, his skill. âIâve known since we were kids that you were destined for the NHL. The skill that you have is amazing, not to mention the hockey knowledge you have and the way you can read a play. You just have to get adjusted. Itâs a big thing to deal with, and the people who know you, the people who matter, arenât blaming you or getting mad at you. Itâll come. I promise.â
âI guess,â he trailed off a little, still sounding kind of broken. âCan you just get my mind off of it, please? Whatâs going on with you? You talked to Quinner recently?â
Your eyes widen, grateful that he canât see your face, âUhh, yeah, we talked a couple days ago I guess. Why, um, why do you ask?â
âYou guys just seemed close at the beginning of summer, and he mentioned something last year about you guys talking quite a bit while you were both at school,â his statement almost sounded like a question, curious as to why you sounded a little panicked.Â
âOh yeah,â you chuckled trying to sound more casual, âwe did get kind of close then.â
âYeah,â he dragged the word out a little, âso, um, anyway, how are your classes going?â Jack changed the topic, assuming you were acting weird because of stress or something similar. The phone carried on as they usually did, you spilling nonsense to distract Jack from his NHL stress and Jack gladly listening to whatever stories you have for him, grateful for the distraction.
Your calls with Quinn, however, werenât always that happy anymore. It suddenly seemed like the calls werenât enough, that neither of you could keep going on two-hour phone calls every other day.Â
âBug, I know itâs difficult, but you could at least act like youâre happy to talk to me,â Quinn was trying, really he was, but he needed you to put in a little effort too.
âI am excited to talk to you. I promise, Bear. I just,â you pause, knowing youâve had this conversation too many times to count at this point, âI just really wish I could see you.â
Quinn sighs, knowing exactly how you feel, âI get that, I swear because Iâm dying to see you again too, but I have no clue when that could happen until summer.â
âWhatâs your schedule like in December? I could come to Vancouver on my Christmas break,â you had been thinking this for a while, too scared to bring it up until right now.
âWell, we have a home stand right before Christmas. Could that work?â you already knew it could.
âI think so, yeah,â you breathed out a sigh of relief, happy Quinn agreed so easily.
âOkay, Iâll get you a plane ticket for the 16th.â
âBear, no, I can get my own ticket,â you argued.
âNonsense. I finally have an excuse to spend my money on my girlfriend. Iâm gonna use it. I am wondering though, how are we gonna deal with Jack?âÂ
âIâll just tell him Iâm on a girlsâ trip to Vancouver, so I wonât be able to Facetime, only call or text,â you answered, probably a little too quickly. You really already had all of this completely thought out.
âOkay yeah, and I can just keep you out of the screen if anyone Facetimes me,â Quinn agrees, already sounding happier knowing heâd get to see you in just a few weeks.
Two and a half weeks later, Quinn was picking you up from the airport in Vancouver. When you both got back to his apartment, it was like everything fell into place. After a much-needed reunion, and an even more needed nap, you helped Quinn make dinner. Before you knew it, your week with Quinn was almost up, and youâd be leaving the next day. The two of you were spending your last night together curled up on the couch watching cheesy romcoms. Halfway through â10 Things I Hate About Youâ, your thoughts got the better of you.Â
âBear?â you question softly, awaiting Quinnâs response.Â
âYeah, Bug?â
âWeâll be okay, right? Like weâll be able to handle the distance and the secret?â you canât help but let the doubts creep in.Â
âOf course we will,â Quinn starts. âWe just gotta remember the times like this when we canât be in the same place. We canât let the distance get to us, so we have to look forward to when we can be together. If we focus too much on how sad we are when weâre apart, weâll never be able to be happy together. Does that make sense?â
âYeah, it does. I donât know why I was worried anyway. As long as Iâve got you Iâm good,â you lean up to place a kiss on his jawline.Â
âYeah, Iâm good with you too, Bug,â he returned the action, kissing your forehead.Â
It would all work out, eventually.

Safe now
Love of my Life Au

Warnings : fighting, swearing, underage drinking, and attempted SA
He was 6,1 and on the hockey team guys knew to keep clear of him and his girl. Obviously he is the biggest sweetheart but if you didnât know this well then good luck because he can be intimidating when he wants to.
He always has a need to hold her, go to the bathroom with her, get her drinks so they donât get spiked. He is protective but he knows he needs to be because you donât know what types you get at big parties like this.
He also knows that all the hockey boys will look out for each others girls. Madi especially I mean she is practically hockey royalty and they are all like her older brothers. There is also the factor that her brothers would kill you if anything happened to her. Now if you think Rutger looks intimidating try her three NHL player brothers Quinn, Jack, and Luke.
Mads was not drinking at all just Coke Zero for her. She is a very serious athlete and her mum Ellen always said athletes donât drink in the season. This came as more of a suggestion to her brothers ( jack ) but she took it to heart. Always wanting to perform her best and not take any chances of being sick, dehydrated, or tired.
Hence why Rut thought it was fine for her to go to the bathroom by herself. She hadnât been drinking and the bathroom was in view from weâre they were standing, talking to Mark and Ethan. âJust meet me right back here as soon as you are doneâ he noted as he was very cautious of his girl. âItâs one of the biggest parties of the year who knows who is here mads, okâ he says making his point clear.
If it was any other party he would have been fine and more at ease. But Michigan had just won the rose bowl so it was hectic and everyone was there drunk off their asses. He had heard of many cases at parties like this of girls getting spiked or assaulted by guys. âOk baby Iâll be quick, then maybe we could head home yeahâ she said in a suggestive tone. Mads wondered off into the crowd seeing the huge line for the bathroom. There had to be at least twelve people ahead of her.
As she waited in the line she saw Dylan duke her long time best friend. âDyl, weâre have you been all nightâ she asked knowing just why he had been preoccupied. âOh shut up she is pretty ok and she thinks Iâm hotâ âSure, Dylanâ she joked.
As they chit chatted she gave rut a little wave before he looked away smiling re entering the conversation he was having.
âOh my god what are these people doing in the bathroomâ She exclaimed obviously busting to pee. âMads donât wait in this queue just go upstairs, itâs what Iâve been usingâ. Dylan says directing her
Unsure Madi made her way upstairs passing a few couples that couldnât seem to wait til they got home to get with each other. As she made her way to the top she looked in a few rooms for a free bathroom. Accidentally walking in on a few couples getting at it she got a few âwhat the hellâsâ and âdo you mindsâ. She finally found a free one and quickly used it.
Quickly using it and then touching up her makeup for the night ahead with rut she opened the door ready to go downstairs. As she started walking out she saw a guy she had never seen before looking directly at her. âHey Mads right?â He asked âItâs Madison.â She said sternly trying to get out of there as soon as possible. She so did not feel like having a conversation with a gross stranger who obviously just wanted to get in her pants. Mads tried to exit but he grabbed her arm and whispered in her ear â I donât really care what your name is or how you say it you have a decent rack so you better shut the fuck upâ Madi then trying to scream and kick her way out causing some kind of attention.
The guy put her hand over her mouth and dragged her back into the bathroom locking the door. She tried to fight back but he wasnât budging instead hitting her in the face making her drowsy. She kept trying to push him away but he was a big dude and was to strong.
As she felt the blood start drip down from the top of her face she couldnât help but cry.
Rutgers Pov,
âHey has anyone seen Madsâ
He had been asking everyone at the party for the last ten minutes.
âRut hey dude mads just went to the toilet upstairsâ
âAlone are you fucking with meâ he said fuming at Dylan for even thinking that was ok. Rutger knows what guys are like and he was ready to beat the shit out of anyone.
Rutger rushed upstairs and searched everywhere to find one bathroom door locked. He banged on it then to hear Madiâs soft pleas to stop and get off her.
âOpen up you assholeâ Rutger screamed he swore the whole party had heard him but he didnât care, he just wanted to hold mads. Luckily the guy had only just locked the door so nothing major had happened.
Finally the guy opened up the door expecting some guy who drank to much beer and needed the restroom. Before he knew it there was a guy jumping on him punching him repeatedly until he had blood all over his face. âFucking touch her again and Iâll fucking kill youâ he yelled like someone had died. Luca and Dylan seeing this run to pull Rut off the guy, then something catches ruts eyes. Madi standing frail and scared a few feet away. He goes to hold her and then sees blood. She has a cut on her upper eyebrow.
âYou son of a bitch you laid hands on my girlâ Rutger yells knowing he canât do anything because he has to hold mads. âOh fuck off as if youâd be dating her if she wasnât a Hughes and didnât have a rackâ. Then the guy spoke up again âsheâs a slut you know what have ur hooker looking girlfriendâ. At this point Rutger was beyond pissed he couldnât believe his ears.
âFucking say it again I dare youâ âAs if youâd be dating her if she wasnât a Hughes and didnât have a rack sheâs a good hit admit itâ Rutger then decided to leave it until he heard a âYea go have my sloppy seconds I got to her first tonightâ and with that the guy was almost passed out on the floor from another hit. Luca lunges to towards him telling him to leave before they call the cops.
âOh my girl you poor thing come hereâ rut says to mads. âIâm sorry for not being there Iâm horribleâ he whispers. âNo Rut you were there donât blame yourself for others actions, please babyâ. Madi said
Rutger and Mads slowly walk down stairs trying to exit the house and get back to someoneâs dorm. He did not let go of her at all after that. Finally finding the front yard Rutger picks her up and puts her in his car. âOh sweet girl Iâm never going to let anyone hurt you againâ.
When they get to Madiâs dorm Rutger grabs the first aid kit Madi uses to clean him up after he gets into fights at games. He carefully dabs a cotton bud and some disinfectant oil for her cut. He then fixes himself up knowing his girl is to tired to do it for him like usual.
Rutger helps madi out of her little dress and into one of her (his) shirts and his boxers. He canât help at smile at his beautiful girl almost drowning in his clothes.
After they both get into comfy clothes they find themselves cuddled up in bundles of blankets and pillows holding each other. Rutger is just happy she is safe now, and when I tell you he will never let her go again i mean never. He is walking her to and from every class, holding her tightly at parties, and taking her to her training. Anyway letâs just say Rut is content but also not looking forward to her brothers finding out especially jack.

hello! if memory serves you are the blog that talked about boy band pretty as a marketing tactic (or something to that effect? the search function does not work so if iâm wrong iâm terribly sorry) and i was wondering if you would be willing to find someone from each team (can include prospects if you want) to create the ultimate nhl boy band. this is not a necessary thing to do, solely shits and gigs and if you ever feel like it doing it. have a lovely day!
HIIIIIII that WAS me and you sent this at the perfect time because i am at the laundromat with time to kill and i LOVE to discuss this.... let's chop it up.... a few disclaimers: this is subjective so don't get mad at me and i will be including prospects and ahl players where i know its applicable BUT for most of these teams i will be going off the main roster + looks alone because if i did a full deep dive vibes analysis on every team's roster and prospects it would take me like two months to answer this ask... you understand. we are being SHALLOW here today in the true spirit of the boy band industry. let's go!!!
carolina hurricanes: i know everyone wants me to say sebastian aho but he is 1) too old 2) too unsettling looking. the elf on the shelf is not boy band pretty im sorry đ i do love him but he's just not the vibe here... i will say based on looks either scott morrow or jackson blake and his 90s heartthrob hair. i want to say seth jarvis because he's my special pop pop but that does contradict almost everything i have said previously so i will not be biased but know that if he was a pop star i would be his biggest fan i would kiss his poster. and that's my truth
columbus blue jackets: in the interest of journalistic integrity i went to their roster instead of just saying it's obviously kj as the intimidating aloof one in the boy ("boy") band but actually i do think it's cole sillinger.... teen heartthrob. also i didn't know that he was born in columbus because his dad was playing for the team and his brother is also on the team??? imagine having a whole destiny like that and its for COLUMBUS OHIO đ
new jersey devils: jack hughes. open and shut case argue with the WALL
new york islanders: NOT MAT BARZAL. HE LOOKS 35. STAND UP LADIES!!! lowkey i do not know any of these dudes and this roster is kind of busted as fuck đđđ (NOT ANTHONY DUCLAIR who is too old to be a boy band boy but who i do love) bargain bin team... anyway isaiah george YOU! are the only cute person the new york islanders
new york rangers: matt rempe. those pictures of him lounging around on the phone??? wow. no words. diva heartthrob behavior. it's sad what they're doing to him what are we doing to our beautiful queens :(
philadelphia flyers: after much careful deliberation.... i think denver barkey is taking it. denver is such a deeply boy band name tbh he was born for this!!! i know everyone thinks it's jamie (who i still forget is a flyer đ) but can you imagine him on a stage? singing a song? they are reinventing shoegaze for him. negative star quality (AFFECTIONATE!!!!!!! LOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!)
pittsburgh penguins: well NOW the obvious answer is rutger mcgroarty... not even worth going through that senior center roster when he's there tbh sorry pens
washington capitals: AGAIN. SENIOR CENTER ROSTER. i had to go to their prospects page to find someone suitable and my vote is patrick leonard he's a cutie!!! also im so sorry to say this but my jaw dropped when i got to this guy why are you playing hockey you need to make a children's album RIGHT NOW. i know he could do a banger cover of the We're going on a bear hunt song. but i digress...

boston bruins: matthew poitras is adorable and exudes star quality NEXTTTT. shoutout also brett harrison who looks like a long lost jonas brother
buffalo sabres: JACK QUINNN JQUIZZY HIMSELF partly for looks mostly for vibes... he has extreme "jack dylan grazer vape apology video" energy and also he has that boyish charm... either him or devon levi (hot) not miss owen power for the same reasons as jamie. she could never be a pop star đ ryan mcleod used to be the oilers popstar boy but now he's got too much competition he's a little niche for the title
detroit red wings: my gut tells me simon edvinsson but a look at the roster tells me there is some competition in the form of amadeus lombardi... if we were discussing this two years ago mo seider would be the obvious answer but he's too grizzled now đ
florida panthers: đ here comes another busted fucking roster... i guess denisenko??? panthers are not really representing here....
montreal canadiens: ARBER <3 he's like the bad boy hottie in the boy band. the one that makes your dad shake his head when he sees him on tv
ottawa senators: wow the atlantic division is fucking WACK this was another case of like. okay i guess ill pick one of yous but REALLY? so congratulations jorian donovan YOU are in the boy band
tampa bay lightning: seriously what is going on in this division. jack finley looks like he was the closeted one in a boy band from the early 2000s but he's aged past that now and he has a husband and a wine brand.... so we will bring him back for nostalgia points. welcome to the team. also i have to be honest i thought of myself as pretty well acquainted with the ahl but the SYRACUSE CRUNCH? that's crazy
leafs: JOSEPH WOLL! boyish charm out the ears on that one. a real cutie
chicago: obviously it's bedard. we all know it's bedard. on the surface he has no charisma but he does have a certain kind of shy boy charm and he IS adorable... he's the one in the boy band who makes your mom tut over him like "he seems like a nice boy"
colorado avalanche: wow huge props to matt stienburg for having maybe the single most boy band roster photo i have seen yet... THIS is the guy they get in the boy band because he's already had huge success with his hit single called like, Heart React Girlfriend or whatever. this is jacob sartorius if he played hockey. this is chase dreams. this kid is going places

dallas stars: it's obviously wyjo, joining the ranks with cbedard as The Nice One <3
minnesota wild: okay i was going to say brock faber because every group needs a kevin jonas (SORRY BROCK) but WHO is kyle masters and why does he look like knockoff brendan brisson. budget briss. diet briss. we have briss at home.

nashville predators: this just reminded me cody glass is a penguin now đ anyway the preds have some STRONG contenders here wow.... jeremy hanzel is taking it but i think luke evangelista could pull it off... now if you asked me to be really subjective it would be ozzy wiesblatt who would also be the subject of much poster kissing and rigged "which member of the nhl boy band should you date" tests so i get him as the result but that's just me....
st louis blues: jeremie biakabutuka your radiant smile has charmed me.... welcome to the band....
utah whatevers: MONTANA ONYEBUCHI I AM SO FUCKING SORRY THE SHARKS DIDNT APPRECIATE YOU. BUT WE WILL..... also matt villalta kinda giving off brand kj... you could build a whole off brand version of that umich team just with guys from other teams i bet
winnipeg jets: dylan coghlan you will always be famous to ME but i fear you are a little too old for our purposes here.... other than him they kinda don't have a lot going for them.... brayden yager it is your time to shine as off brand owen power â„ïž
anaheim ducks: some strong competition here... tz is the obvious choice but i think we need to think bigger... olen zellwegger please step forward....
calgary flames: matt coronato i am free on thursday if you would like to hang out on thursday when i am free and also join this boy band
edmonton oilers: yet another old ass roster đ they're lucky they got so many sabres because matt savoie is saving their asses rn
los angeles kings: angus booth is smizing in every single photo i saw of him so. come on now
san jose sharks: it's so obviously will smith i don't even know what we're doing here tbh
seattle kraken: tye kartye looks like he would be into white water rafting so he can be the nature guy in the boy band.... strong competition from tucker robertson but he's just a touch too gay porn for this vibe
vancouver canucks: JETT WOO... HELLO.... but also shoutout cole mcward for having 2014 gay youtuber phenotype. a connor franta troye sivan type face if ive ever seen one
vegas golden knights: BRISS âŒïžâŒïžâŒïž my little tabloid queen... not only is he in the boy band but he's in the news and the media. he was born to be a star. natural ham. child actor energy. alex holtz is also a strong contender for this but i think he's off on his own doing his little pop star solo act thing
this took way longer than laundromat time but it was worth it i had so much fun!!!!! thank you!!!!!!

#THIS WAS SERIOUSLY SO FUN and also made me feel kind of mean for being like ummm you're ugly youre ugly youre ugly. but whatever#sorry for the copious amounts of unrelated bullshit also đ#asks

mackie samoskevich with âi think i deserve a kiss", possibly like after his debut game? <3
This idea is so cute



Mackie x established relationship! Reader
Warnings?; non really, kissing, fluff, pet names
â
You were sat in the stands as Mackieâs debut game with the Florida panthers came to an end. You and his family were emotional wrecks the entire game, especially after Mackie got an assist on one of Tkachuks goals earning him his first nhl point in his first game.
Your talked with his family as you all waited by the panthers locker room for him to come out.
âOh here he comes!â His mom notified.
Your face hurt from smiling so much today but that didnât stop you from busting out the biggest smile as he can towards all of you holding his own cheesy grin.
His sisters tackled him in a hug as soon as he got close enough and as soon as they separated his parents did the same.
His mom gave him a kiss on the cheek before pulling away and wiping her tears of joy. He turned to face you and you couldnât help but jump into his arms, allowing your own tears to come down your face.
âIâm so proud of you Mack, I swear it feels like I was watching you in your first Umich game yesterday, and here I am watching you play in the nhlâ you told him as you pulled back a little.
âItâs so crazyâ he admitted and you seen his eyes watering as well.
âI think Samo deserves a nice greasy piece of pizza, what do the rest of you think?â Maddy asked as she seen you two pull away.
âI think hell yesâ Mackie laughed as everyone started heading to the parking garage.
His parents and sisters headed to their rental car as you and Mackie headed to his. You weâre about to open the passenger side door before he stopped you.
âEverything okay?â You asked as he pulled you close to his chest by your waist.
âYeah, itâs just I think I deserve a kissâ he said with a slight shrug of his shoulders.
âOh do you now?â You asked with a laugh.
âI mean I did just play my first nhl game, and got my first point in the Sam-â he started but you cut him off by pulling his face down to yours and giving him a kiss.
You kissed for a moment before slowly pulling away for air, âThat better?â You asked.
âMuchâ he laughed before pulling you in for another one.

is slafkovsky a bust?
If there is something I genuinely hate about the perception of young talents in the NHL, then it's how quick people are to delusionally overstate their abilities and set the bar ridiculously high for them (like they do every single day for Bedard) and how quick they are to write them off or call them a bust when the player in question understandably struggles as a rookie.
It honestly feels like you are forgetting that not everyone is a generational talent like Connor McDavid and that those kids are literal kids - SlafkovskĂœ is still only nineteen, if he doesn't suffer a career-ending injury he is set to play for another twenty years perhaps.
1st overall picks don't always have an immediate effect on the team they play for, you can't expect bloody miracles from them, especially when the team they are playing for is completely mismanaging them and giving them shitty linemates - if you actually look at SlafkovskĂœ, he is creating so many goalscoring chances for Anderson in that 3rd line but none of them is turned into goal by Josh.
I have never been the biggest fan of throwing those kids immediately into the league, especially when they come from Europe and from playing junior leagues and are used to a different style of game. It shouldn't be a shameful thing being sent to play in the AHL for the first season or two before jumping into the big boys league, that's what those farms are supposed to be for, and in Juraj's case, I honestly feel like he should have played in the AHL the first season.
Frankly, sometimes it feels that they treat him like someone much older and more experienced solely because of his body frame which makes him look at least five years older than he actually is.
So no, Juraj is not a bust, in my opinion, just awfully mismanaged by Montreal.

this ask turned into some insane ramble feeling journal entry dump thing that got away from me im so sorry
i got into hockey last year during the playoffs and had basically no interest in nolpat or the flyers like watching the burner exposé unfold meant basically nothing to me. i didnt even know all the nhl teams much less care about this brain damaged draft bust from a team not even in the playoffs but im currently living that NEET life and ive had time to be bored as fuck and fall down that rabbit hole and get invested. im so annoyed np is attractive (only when hes mostly cleanshaven and with certain hair lengths. his facial hair is nasty i think hes going through twink death) i watched the bo show and was smiling fuck my shit life.
the 1 on 1 nolpat flyers vid (https://youtu.be/UyjbFn2QRXk?si=UgsT637ka3_qFZbO&t=304) the interviewer at the end (like 5:04) asks what he wants people to associate with his name "probably just be a good person. a good teammate. thats kinda the main thing for me honestly......being a good teammate, good person off the ice is one of the most important things" with the knowledge of the burner is soo ironic like that media training is being put to work. i am finding some joy that majority of hockey fans only really remember him is for being an injury riddled bust or one half of a ship of him having gay sex with a teammate. and the burners. plus his biggest fans being people who shipped nptk and kinda headcanoned him as like genderfucky? because of his pretty face and the long hair. i bet he was fucking seething. he's so irrelevant now. i so badly want a front row seat of his life being shit. i want to see him to go through all levels of hell while alive. i hope he fucking hated living in philly. i want him to feel like sisyphus pushing that fucking pointless rock up that hill everyday (AND NOT ENJOYING IT OR FIND HAPPINESS IN THE ACTION). i lowkey need him to go bankrupt and start a gay4pay OF. can everyone please manifest with me. i need him to go through what he was saying about women on the burners. get in a skimpy dress and on the workbench now!!!! god hes a loser do u kno abt those batman 2022 riddler fanart/fics that has like horny incel vibes??
this is a lot and i'm sorry for coming to his grave and defacing it by hate jerking off while everyone is shit talking him.
I live for rambles ngl especially when they're articulate and self expressive mixed in with some good humour and relatableness.
He's stated more than once that he values how people perceives him especially around the locker room and team, but tbh if you read inbetween the lines I think he really was telling us that he mainly just values his friends, families, hockey bro's and his coaches/staff perception of him and not necessarily anyone outside of that. Not saying that's super bad but you can tell that mf is selective af with being genuinely nice to people in general.
STOP the way old videos of him really got us kicking and swinging our feet in the air. The BO show was such a classic gem ugh his laugh is literally engraved into my brain from that vid. Draft him was 10/10 nobody could deny it, he is too in love with the greasy musty look I don't know when we'd ever see him look like that again.
I am unaware of the batman 2022 riddler fanart/fanfics, but I'll jump into the rabbit hole.

The Best 7 Fun Facts to Know About Canada
Not only is Canada known for being the second-largest country in the world, but it is also known not only for its amazing natural scenery but also for many interesting little-known facts. From culturally diverse cities to wildlife species and cultural uniqueness,.

Canada's reputation as a wonderland is matched by a welcoming spirit, making it a magnet for adventurers and nature lovers. In addition to its iconic maple leaf flag and humble name, Canada's mosaic of provinces and territories contains incredible treasures of its history, culture, and natural wonders. Discovering the most fascinating facts on the topic reveals a country that continues to be fascinating and inspires curiosity in the world at large
The Best 7 Fun Facts to Know About Canada 1. A mosaic of cultures: Canada prides itself on being a cultural mosaic, richly woven into the material of its social diversity. Unlike the idea of a melting pot, where one-of-a kind cultures merge into one identification, Canada celebrates its cultural variety with the aid of retaining and promoting ethnic traditions and languages. In those cultures, this policy is embedded in Canadian law, such as inclusiveness and respect for cultural variations. 2. The world's longest beach: Canada has the longest coastline of any United States in the world, at 202,080 kilometers (125,567 miles). This expansive shoreline includes the Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic Oceans, as well as the Great Lakes, making Canada a maritime country wealthy in herbal assets and numerous in marine existence 3. Home Ice Hockey:
Ice hockey holds a unique place in Canadian culture as part of a country's wide ice recreation. Since then, the game has emerged as ingrained in Canadaâs identity and is famous in the burgeoning expert league, the National Hockey League (NHL). Is to maintain and unite groups across the United States of America, from small towns to busts. 4. Lakes and Freshwater Conservation:
Canada has great lakes and holds nearly 20% of the sectorâs sparkling water. The USA has more than 2 million lakes, such as the Great Lakes, which form the Canada-U.S. half of the total. This freshwater reservoir plays a crucial role in Canada's environment, assisting wildlife habitats and providing leisure opportunities along with boating, fishing, and camping in Lake Lewis, Alberta, and Lake Ontario, Ontario, which are among the most stunning and exquisite lakes that entice vacationers from all around the world.Â
5. Maple Syrup Capital:
Canada is the arenaâs biggest manufacturer of maple syrup, accounting for approximately 71% of the sectorâs production. Maple syrup manufacturing in eastern Canada, especially Quebec, is a time-commemorated lifestyle in which sugar maple bushes are tapped to acquire the sap, then boiled into a candy golden syrup for the duration of the sugar block season or maple syrup season, normally early spring. When temperatures are above freezing for the duration of the day and below freezing at night, ideal conditions are to go with the flow.
6. Polar Bear Capital:
Known as the polar bear capital of the world, Canada has a large population of polar bears living in the Arctic region. Manitoba on the Hudson Bay coast, Churchill, is particularly well known for its polar bear population. Each fall, polar bears await the formation of sea ice near Churchill, providing wildlife enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
7. Bilingual Country:
Quebec is dominated by French, while English is widely spoken in the rest of the country. Bilingualism is an integral part of Canadian identity and is supported by government policies that promote language diversity and cultural exchange. Canadians have the opportunity to learn both official languages in schools, enhancing the bilingual workforce and increasing cultural contacts across the country.
Conclusion
Canadaâs diverse cultural mosaic, expansive coastline, support of sports like ice hockey, and status as the worldâs largest maple syrup producer and polar bear capital establish its uniqueness as a global destination. For travellers from all over the world, including those applying for Canada Visit visa from Dubai, exploring these attractions provides an insight into and appreciation for Canadaâs rich heritage and natural beauty, enhancing its cultural diversity and environmental stewardship. It was in line with innovation standards.

Never Grow Up
read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/G6KzlHT
by lowkeyinlovewithanakinskywalker
Jack wasn't sure when he'd started feeling like this. Maybe it was when he'd gotten thrown into the opposing team's bench, when he'd missed easy shots that he usually would've scored on, when he'd earned the title of 'biggest bust in the NHL' or when he'd been called a pretty boy hockey player that couldn't play, but at some point along the line hockey had become a lot less fun than it used to be. It got to the point that he wasn't sure he wanted to play anymore and was considering quitting, despite having worked hard his whole life to get to the NHL.
If it hadn't been for Quinn, he probably would have.
OR
Three times Jack needed Quinn and the one time he realized that no matter how old he got, he would always need him.

The two young centres have come out of the 11-day break giving Canadiens fans high hopes that the future looks bright. Itâs interesting to watch how what Nick Suzuki and Jesperi Kotkaniemi both struggle with most is simply the gruelling scheduling â that playing every two nights is their biggest challenge over time. When they are fresh, they are high-quality NHL players, but when they are tired, they just melt into the ice and disappear. So letâs see how long the pair can keep up their energy this time, because they are going to have to be resilient. The schedule is grueling and will definitely claim some victims. Itâs simply a matter of predicting who will lose their legs. Itâs easy to predict it will be Suzuki and Kotkaniemi as it has happened before. Perhaps though, they are continuing their evolution. To see their play on Saturday night, we see excellence. Kotkaniemi particularly was effective. He laid a pass cross-ice to Josh Anderson that was outstanding. It was hard to know how he even saw him so quickly and found Anderson 80 feet away for his first tally on the night. Nick Suzuki also set up Anderson for a goal in the second period with a smart pass. However, it was the first-period pass from Suzuki to set up the Tyler Toffoli one-timer that was his best moment. Suzuki is a heady player. Everyone always likes to guess which one is going to be the first-line centre and which one will be the second liner? Hereâs the truth on this question: itâs not going to matter. Theyâll get opportunities equally. All that matters is they both keep improving and enjoy the ride fully. If they do, we have seen the last days of Montreal not winning the middle to win the game.
brian wilde, getting it, per usual
the thing that kills me about the habs subreddit is a) they have the memory of a goldfish; b) it often seems like weâre not watching the same games; c) they only really seem to notice goals; d) along with the memory of a goldfish they are vicious regarding the players who have fallen out of favor.
you see it the most with nick and kk, weirdly enough. during the break when kk was playing with Ă€ssĂ€t and probably struggling to adjust to the different ice size and style of play the habs subreddit could not shut up about how he was a bust etc. same when he was struggling in the early season with julien and not being deployed in a way that would give him a chance to maximize talents. when nick was having his hot streak of ten games, the mods literally had to ban sexual comments about players because people were being so uncomfortable about him. and now if you read any comments itâs like people going âmove suzuki to wing on a line with kk, i donât like his 200 foot gameâ (???? were we watching the same game).
they are 20 and 21 years old. kk is in his third official season but spent time off the ice due to injuries and being sent down. nick has never played a full nhl season because of covid! theyâre both learning. both of them are getting the shit kicked out of them on a nightly basis (like, specifically being targeted and hit worse than a lot of their other teammates, thinking of the elbow to the head and slew foot kk had this week, the fact that nick is constantly getting cross checked from behind in the numbers, etc). they are both dealing with the adjusting to the grueling pace of an nhl season, and this one is even worse because itâs so compressed.
they both have similar skill sets in that theyâre excellent playmakers and passers and their best assets are the way they see the ice; theyâre both extremely hard workers who legitimately give a shit about how the team does and planning their own futures with the team. they seem to be genuinely good friends with each other. you would think people would be excited that they have two centers who have such high ceilings and promise, theyâre literally both on your team, why are you acting like this? like i seriously do not understand it lmao. it drives me absolutely insane!!

ââââââ hey  CLARA  SLOANE  ,  welcome  to  dillon  university  .  has  anyone  ever  told  you  youâre  ADDISON  RAE  âs  twin  ?  no  ?  well  okay  ,  i  heard  you  are  NINETEEN  &  a  SOPHOMORE  at  the  university  .  we  hope  ATHLETIC  TRAINING  isnât  kicking  your  ass  too  much  ,  especially  since  youâre  the  FOOTBALL  TEAMâS  DEFENSIVE  COORDINATORâS  DAUGHTER  /  STUDENT  ATHLETIC  TRAINER  .  see  you  at  the  next  game,  SLOANE  &  cis female  +  she/her  .
CLICK HERE FOR A CUTE TRIP TO CLARAâS PINTEREST !!Â
            HELLO , FRIENDS ! iâm b and this is my idiot child clara . a handful & the epitome of chaotic good , if you will . under the cut youâll find a little more about who she is !! iâm super excited to get started , so if you wanna plot feel free to come find me at local sad girl#9956 or like and iâll come to you to figure out if IMs or discord works better!! âââââââ
background.
clara leigh sloane was born in small town, louisiana to a family that lived and breathed sports. her grandpa coached college football in the sec for years, ending his career with a national championship team that included his son, claraâs father. that was the same year claraâs older brother was born, the spitting image of her father and the sloane familyâs pride & joy. it was then that, choosing coaching over a professional career for the sake of his son. five years later, clara came along.
her parents were college sweethearts, and they really thought they wanted the same things. one kid couldnât save their marriage... two kids didnât do the trick either, and when clara was five, her mother packed her things and left, never to be heard from again.
they were a happy little trio, though! traveling every now and then for the sake of dadâs job as a high school football coach. he had quite a few national championship titles under his belt at the high school level, all of which clara watched from the sidelines.
she grew up very interested in everything her dad and brother were doing. curious in general, honestly, but this began her love of sports. specifically: football and hockey. football, from her father. hockey, from her brother.
she and her brother were just far enough apart in age to never have to cross each others paths too much, but everyone who knew cameronââ claraâs brotherââ knew her as little sloane. she never minded it, just as she never minded drowning in one of his old hockey jerseys from the sidelines and learning to skate with him also on the ice. he was .. her favorite person, honestly. and he didnât mind his kid sister being around either.
life was relatively smooth sailing. never rich, but never going hungry. never short on love in the sloane household, and never boring with two kids that had crazy colorful personalities. like these two were just.. . . goofballs and they played off of each otherâs energy like it was nothing. comedians of family thanksgiving. choreographed living room routine. idiots, rly
when she was about 13, her dad got into coaching at the college level, taking a small school to a national championship before being hired by the university of michigan to turn their football program around.
he was given two years, and he couldnât manage it, despite coming close. around the same time cameron got a full ride to dillon for hockey, their father got hired as the defensive coordinator at dillon. thus, the whole family picked up and moved to texas.
when she was a senior in high school, and cameron was a junior in college, cam was involved in a car accident that left him brain dead. after days in the hospital and exhausting resources, clara and her father said their goodbyes and he was gone. u know that scene in if i stay?? where the grandpa is like itâs okay.. you can leave go if you have to?? p much . .. that. clara held his hand until she was dragged away
thereâs a bit of a grey cloud that hangs over the sloane family since. his room hasnât been touched. his car sits under a tarp in a shed behind the house. their father doesnât talk about it, never did, so clara just kinda navigated that grief alone. sheâs... fINE REALLY SHEâS perfectly fine
but incapable of leaving dillon, it seems, as she chose to go there to stay close to her dad and to be close to cameron
sheâs always loved the sidelines and has a very stem-wired brain, so sheâs going for athletic training to be an athletic trainer... of course akjdhfa in hopes of working for the nfl or the nhl... or maybe med school to be an actual team-hired doctor
personality.
like i said!! the epitome of chaotic good. sheâs got big sunshine energy and big idiot energy. to give you some references from pop culture: sheryl yoast from remember the titans, harper from set it up, fucking ace from nancy drew, annabeth chase from percy jackson and fuckin honestly?? sophie turner just in generalÂ
very much âdo no harm but take no shitâ
a lot of her friendships are very surface level because sheâs got this way about her thatâs very optimistic, very fun, very sunshine and thatâs kind of what people expect of her, so she doesnât really let anyone see anything different than that. very few people get close to her, but those people?? sheâd do anything for ... .. . lowkey she soft
stubborn! and! competitive! put them together and you have someone who hates not being immediately perfect at something. she gets frustrated with herself very very easily
very opinionated and does not hesitate to stand up for herself or others. this can kinda come off as a bit know it all sometimes, or like sheâs incredibly sure of herself. sheâs not. in fact, sheâs.... not her own biggest fan. her older brother was golden, and losing him made her an only child in some sorts. that pressure to be perfect was now on her, and her strained relationship with her father certainly didnât help that. nowadays he seems to be more interested in his work and getting to a head coaching spot at another university than anything else.
humor as a defense mechanism! sarcasm to deflect! this girl does it all!Â
mild adhd & clear generalized anxiety disorder which does not help with the way she gets frustrated with herself becaaauuusssee...
she is intuitive as hell! sheâs good at people! and problem solving! but being book smart comes a bit harder. she doesnât struggle with school, but it isnât a cake walk either. sheâs needed help before, and sheâll probably need it again
kinda like a golden retriever in human form
a bit of an old soul meaning sheâs really on her late 80s, early 90s shit
hopelessly optimistic about seeing the best in people, also kind of hopelessly romantic thanks to 80s films
literally never knows whatâs going on but is hopeful sheâll figure it out eventually!
night owl af
thereâs a scene in nancy drew where ace fully drinks a bottle of what could be water! but could also be poison! just to prove a point in the quickest way possible. that... sums clara up pretty well. stupid but for the greater good usually!!!
has never backed down from a dare
has a dog named maverick yes bc of top gun that she loves more than herself
wrinkles her nose when she hears something she doesnât like bc the bitch wears her emotions on her face and cannot lie foR SHIT
was a competitive gymnast for A WHILE . . . but tore her acl and was like nOPE no not for me iâm good no thank you! but still works out like a freak bc she likes feeling strong :\
very invested in the games even though sheâs supposed to be keeping a professional air about her. also a student athletic trainer for the hockey team when that season is under way
would rather die than listen to any country music that came out after 2003 or toby keith like she may be a southern gal but TASTE SHE HAS TASTE
yâall know lena from scooby doo zombie island??? a lil more subtle and youâve got claraâs southern louisiana accent woofÂ
stress bakes but not... wellÂ
big fan of busted sneakers
soft girl but donât tell anyone.... no one can know
OKAY THATâS IT THATâS ALLÂ
#friday:intro#luv me luv me say that u luv me#but like sing that in the justin bieber circa MY WORLD era voice pls
