listen i know tumblr isn't a big sports place but this is the funniest 3 minutes of hockey footage i have ever seen
youtube
The goalies looking around like "ah fuck here we go again". Tkachuk sitting angrily in the box with his arms crossed, cuz he can’t participate since he literally just tried to break off a piece of a guy. His brother being forcibly skated across the ice by a very angry zebra. The quick cut to Gramma Tkachuk's open-mouthed stare of abject bewilderment and disapproval. "Among other penalties". The chick behind the bench cracking up while the whole stadium boos. Gold.
All right, Spaniels, your Extra-Extra-Big Sister Firefly lost both her slippers after the storm. Where's the other? (that's an old one, for the search) Go find!
I am really impressed that they sort of worked as a (very small) group on this, not as two individuals. Both looking, splitting the paths, mostly not doubling up any sections; going around together, but far enough apart for them to each cover different paths.
And they found one! Good job! So good!
This was a lot of work, both for their brains and for the time in the heat, so we'll check another field tomorrow perhaps. We aren't in a hurry; these are single use slippers made of cast material. I just want to eventually get them picked up, and to give the Spaniels a fun game.

Florida students athletes may need to prove they can menstruate
The Florida High School Athletics Association’s (FHSAA) sports medicine advisory committee has stood by its recommendation to require high school athletes to submit information about their periods for each year they register to participate.
The move comes after a suggestion that the association’s board adopt a national sports registration form – which makes menstrual information mandatory.
Questions listed on the form include asking if players have had a period, when they first got their period, the date of their most recent one was and the regularity of their cycle during the previous 12 months.
Notably, the main difference between the national form and Florida’s system, as the Palm Beach Post reports, is where the information is stored.
The national form states that the part detailing athletes’ medical history – including their menstrual history – should not be turned into schools but remain with their physician.
However, the FHSAA’s sports medicine committee recommended that all pages of the form be handed over to their schools.
welcome to i get to talk about baseball and hockey together this time apparently everyone has fucking grown up with matthew how do people still keep coming out of the woodwork feat my cringefail baseball team the fish (said with love and disdain)
theres a lot of parallels of man gets drafted to a franchise that is the equivalent of a burning dumpster fire, finds haven in south florida once traded, helps leads them to a playoff appearance first year there and becomes a fan favourite.
what kills me the most is that the first thing jakey did after being traded at the '23 deadline from the soxs and finally landing in miami for his first presser is go hi matthew! (x)
and then because it was the hockey offseason we got our beatwriters to go oh my god they knew each other? and we get this fucking article (x)
I mean, I used to play baseball but I have no First Pitch or pitching background at all. I was never the guy that—I don't think—was good enough to pitch. I was more on the hitting side. I'm sure if we were doing batting practise, I'll be better than this pitch. (x)
I knew he [Matthew Tkachuk] played [baseball] growing up, we played against each other when we were little but you know, I think he ultimately chose the right direction. (x)
i just greatly enjoy hockey man talk about baseball and i also terribly enjoy jakey corroborating matthews "bad at pitching very good at hitting" (x) stance considering his first pitch endeavour in 22 wasnt even anywhere near the plate he went "oh boy!" (x)
"his childhood friend is such a good athelete he would have been a star in any sport" on another episode of matthew touches every mans heart that he meets...
"How old were you when you started playing [hockey] with him [Matthew Tkachuk]?"
I would say probably around, like, 8 or 9 years old. You know, the community in St. Louis—hockey there is so big. You start running into guys. A lot of the '97s would kinda play with us ['96s] I mean, Luke Kunin, who plays for San Jose, lived five houses away from me growing up. Anytime the '97s and '96s wanted to get out on the pond, it was always a fun time.
And finally the most important thing of all
"What position did you play?"
guess whos the winger and whos the 3rd baseman
the narrative is compelling and the parallels are paralleling thank you for coming to my powerpoint presentation
