*And people are wrong about urban myths. Logic and reason say that these are fictional creations, retold again and again by people who are hungry for evidence of weird coincidence, natural justice and so on. They aren’t. They keep on happening all the time, everywhere, as the stories bounce back and forth across the universe ... Urban myths are alive.

Hockeyblr is hilarious because every now and then, you’ll catch your mutuals cheering for teams you despise on your dash. It’s like discovering your dad has a secret second family. My brother in Christ, we were fighting on the frontlines together in the same lb no more than 24 hours ago, what happened

having thoughts about the draft class of 2015 right now..

thinking about connor, deified on the ice with the weight of the world on his shoulders, connor who "was a little boy once" and jaded by the pressure of being The Next One at 17, connor who won the conn smythe on the losing team in a constant reminder that as unparalleled as his hockey may be, it still wasnt enough, connor who would "cry and shake, anxious under his own pressure" when he was just a child. thinking about connor mcdavid, to whom the rest of his draft class was compared, shadowed by his brilliance.

thinking about jack eichel, antagonised by the media for the crime of being second to connor mcdavid, two boys pitted against each other as one american and one canadian. thinking about jack eichel, and the curse of forced narratives.

thinking about dylan strome, criticised by the masses as "overrated," "washed", discarded and sidelined and once rarely praised or considered in conversations of the greats. thinking about dylan strome, now a father, a husband, and a washington capital, tearing up the ice with ovechkin on his wing. thinking about dylan strome, and finding happiness for yourself.

thinking about mitch marner, scapegoated and despised for being "too pretty", "too small" and not masculine enough for toronto hockey, mitch marner who was named a "locker room cancer" by vindictive fans when not a single teammate had anything short of glowing praise to say about him. thinking about mitch marner, making it unequivocally clear to all who denied his skill that he is indispensable. thinking about mitch marner and the maple leafs' core.

thinking about those drafted not within the top 4, or even top 50, yet now have firmly cemented themselves as undeniably exceptional on the ice, currently second in the league in points. thinking about kirill kaprizov, 135th overall.

a jew review of: nhl team happy hanukkah posts

good evening and chag sameach to my hanukkah-celebrating pals out there on hockeyblr. today i bring you: a non-comprehensive and entirely subjective review from one (1) jewish hockey fan of the graphics posted by various nhl teams in celebration of the first night tonight. i definitely missed some, and some teams didn't post any at all, so it's a bit patchwork. here we go.

vancouver canucks: this is an extremely serviceable graphic. love the blurred dreidels to give the effect that they are spinning. very funny. props for the detail that there is a shadow of the menorah on the ice. straightforward. icemenorah is a themeTM but some did it better than others and this is a classic. 7/10

post continues under the cut for the sake of your dash and mine.

carolina hurricanes: obsessed with what the canes have done here though i cannot comprehend it. the weird techno style textured background. the out of focus magen david around. THE HURRICANES. IN HEBREW. WITH THE LITTLE CANES LOGO THING I FORGET THE NAME OF ON THE HEI? INCREDIBLE. points for creativity. overall baffling vibes. 6/10.

pittsburgh penguins: this is just adorable. you hired someone to draw this. spectacular work, guys. it's giving a bit of 'we browsed the target hanukkah deco section for inspo' but it's too adorable for me to care. it's team themed, it's hockey themed, it's holiday appropriate. love everything going on here. they get points for doing what very few other teams are doing and remembering this is night one, so only one candle is lit. most everyone else is getting a bit a head of themselves. 9/10.

washington capitals: and here we have another edition of the icemenorah, with a minimalist twist. this graphic screams 'oh fuck wait is that tonight' which to be fair is also how i, a jew, felt about realizing tonight was the first night of hanukkah. could'a done more, but it's perfectly fine. 6/10.

new jersey devils: this fucks. it's got devils themes. it's got a cool style. it's got vibes. it's got: more hockey stick menorahs which i am always excited about. that shamash candle is a graphic design nightmare but other than that i am all on board. 8/10

vegas golden knights: i love the gold foil effect and that you remembered there was more to hanukkah than candles, that's nice, as is involving the other affiliates! however. where are the vibes. this is not the vgk wishes you a chag sameach, this is a greeting card i got on etsy. 6/10 just bc i KNOW you can do better. where's the neon, babes.

los angeles kings: oh this is fun. it's icemenorah: WITH A TWIST. the art style is cute, it's got plenty of hockey theme, it's also very obviously LA-y, i'm giving them points for this one. the shadow is insane but that's okay, it's ~stylistic. it's cute. 7/10. UPDATE: definitely AI. boo hiss. 0/10.

montréal canadiens: this is probably my favourite for sheer vibes. you got: levitating icemenorah. you got: action-shot candle lighting. you got: remembering this is night ONE. you got: the implication that the torch is the shamash candle????? you got: JOYEUSE HANOUKKA!!!!!!!! (and like happy hanukkah or whatever i guess). obsessed. it's so funny. it's amazing. 9/10.
