haven't been active these days here because i was busy (derogatory) losing my mind at work since december started plus completing my annual physical exam. and then i was busy (affectionate) having the best weekend of the year, maybe even my life, last 17th and 18th π
Already missing them so bad. Hoping they will do either SS9 encore here next year or SS10. π₯Ή

sharks to kings trade !!! your beloveds are sending penpals to each other in the form of players (-puckszone)
the Grundstrom for Burroughs Trade Vibe Check
HELLO beloved jane puckszone my pink scalloped hem my midnight candy gram my mist over still watersβ¦ thank you for stopping by i LOVE waking up to trade news in my inbox i LOVE that our california girls are having playdates . πΆyou can check out any time you like, but you can never leaaaveeee πΆ <- type beat. about the California Swing; this big road trip every team gets subjected to multiple times each season on account of proximity, it used to be MISERABLE and FOUL because at one point we had 3 good teams !! i hope we get back to that one day π₯Ήπ€²
Carl Grundstrom. CARL GRUNDOTHY β¦!!!!! I am genuinely VERY happy for him ππ he was pushed out of the lineup during playoffs for some unfathomable reason (rat clenching fist of rage about it) . heβll be getting more minutes on the Sharks GOD WILLINGβ¦β¦. did you watch him at worlds? i didβ¦!! i really liked his, idk what to call it, spirit??? like SORRY LAK but you may have fumbled a bad bitchβ¦ ough to see him benched and playing like 2 mins a night during playoffsβ¦ god he played one 25 second shift during one of those games and meanwhile they were double shifting our beautiful boy quinton byfield WHO WAS ILL BTWβ¦ i thought the kings needed grundyβs fighting spirit out there on the ice :(((
anyway adoption papers under the cut!!
Grundy for the Sharks moots:
We call him Grundy (me and you jane puckszone + the two skeletons and four moths on kingsblr) and i think iβve seen Jim Hiller call him Grunny? grundy sounds better to me so i use that <3
Heβs a solid 4th liner i mean this in the best most complimentary way possibleβ¦ he does SO well β¦ throw him out there to rest your first line and the puck might just do good things!!! my defensively responsible little guyβ¦!! like. i love hard workers they are so dear to me <3
Low key underrated shooter? mostly in that i donβt know if i ever saw him pass loooool but yeah no he has more goals than assists this past season like IF the puck is on his stick he WILL shoot it godbless !!
Perhaps on the Sharks he moves up the depth chart ππ middle-six winger anyoneβ¦praying for his success so bad you donβt even KNOW
HITTER!! this boy is big and throws hits! Plays the body when defending, plays the body when forechecking <3. i love you grundy and so does the mike grier Size/Skill/Will agenda. with this trade we are swapping hitter for hitter, but making room on our blue line (Shakir full time NHL arc???? PLEEK)
Grundy might genuinely be a great fit for the Sharks Culture Plan because i never saw a game where he wasnβt extremely invested and intense β¦ i liked that about him vewwy much but that might just be me and my penchant for becoming attached to random depth players π₯Ή
More broadly, the pattern of picking up guys who need a new opportunity marches on⦠dellandrea and now grundstrom. we may not have uhhh affordable housing or more than 20 wins but the one thing sj does have in spades is ice time <3
i do wonder what all this does to our guys in the AHL whoβve been very hungry to break through but ough. alas. </3 perhaps thatβs a conversation best had on a podcast and not by me, i canβt be objective here!!
on the LAK side of things:
Kyle Burroughs played way too many minutes on a bare bones Sharks defense please donβt look at his uuhhh -42 rating and take it seriously π
he might look like a silly guy from a 2010s sitcom but he is in fact a GOON!!! the fighting majorsβ¦ lordyβ¦.. also i havenβt checked the stats recently but last time i did he was right up in the leaderboards for hits.
this move from LA does puzzle me!! Clarke and Spence should be getting more priority ice time next season. the Burroughs trade would push them out of the lineup unless Burroughs is getting put in the AHL or lak get rid of another defenseman.
perhaps an omen? Matt Roy leaving? or perhaps noted gorgeous leg weight Andreas Englund? <- iβm more inclined to this as it seems Burroughs and Englund would occupy the same role!!
endeared by Kyle Burroughsβ moustache deeply <3 him and j.middleton are sisters to me as per one of my postsβ¦
anyway i hope he gets fewer minutes and less rough deployment on the kings jskdjdkgk he truly went THRU it this past season ππ
in conclusion Cali Polycule please come back from the WAR i need this place to be hell on earth again CALIFORNIA SWEEPβ¦.!!!!
the SECOND i heard i was like oh no is lukas okay πππ
he is going to get so much ice time and respect and love in SJ
Tbh this is giving me so much fanfic inspo and it is kind of sweet. He left San Jose in a trade I'm not so sure he wanted, won two cups, grew into himself and into a sort of leadership, and now he's coming back to San Jose, coming home. It's genuinely a beautiful and fitting thing for him
BUT HE WAS BUILDING A LIFE AND YOUNGER PLAYERS LOOKED UP TO HIM AND GOODY BROKE BONES AND BLED AND FOUGHT FOR THE RANGERS AND I AM IN P A I N
Hey, hope you are fine, thanks for having the open free asks, I just want to know details about my fs (like his job, his initials, physical traits or nativity or anything else you would like to wish to add even if it's 18+ thoughts).
My initials: SJ
Thanks in advance and have a happy day/night.
Hello! You have drawn Strength and the King of Swords. It looks as if your future love will be some kind of authority figure, no matter what his position he commands respect, honour and dignity. He is likely a leader of some kind and pursues an intellectual career such as a teacher, lawyer, doctor, something that puts his head to full use, is respected for his intelligence, commands authority, but also requires a gentle touch backed by strength. He will be strong and intelligent yet has a healthy balance between his logic and his heart, enabling him to come to decisions which take into full consideration all needs.
Please [ Tip ] if you can β¨πβ¨
For an expanded reading please check out the [ full list of my services ] and DM me for any information you may need to get your reading underway πβοΈ
It's that time of the year again when I revisit sj songs and shows so I used yesung as a reference for this one coz his voice and his songs y'all ππ
"MIXTH" as a boy group name can be musically interpreted as a blend of rhythms, genres, and styles. Imagine a sound that's both fresh and unexpected, mixing elements of pop, hip-hop, and electronic music.
Thank you so much for 18th debut anniversary today π₯³
I debuted when I was 18 years old and now Iβve already turned 36.
I am happy to live half of my life as Super Junior and feels even happier I met ELF π
Iβm also grateful to SM who created SJ brothers, a reliable family to me who is the only child.
I would like to play warm songs for everyone even in the future. I wonβt be all fancy but Iβll move forward at my own pace and directions so, please look upon me.
I hope that even just slightly, you guys are happy because of me in this stuffy world. Letβs do it together.
Are you confident? π«Ά
