27/12/2024 - LAT vs CAN | WJC Day 2

He's not just a proud Canadian, he's a proud member of the Hän Nation, the Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin Tribe, and he's a member of the Wolf Clan. And that is a vest made by his grandmother Karen [Mason], all embroidered. It took an incredible amount of time to put that together and he wears it very proudly. - Bob McKenzie on TSN broadcast

actually pisses me off so bad that literal teenagers are the ones who have to shoulder the burden of hockey canada’s failures

We can be fuckin honest. Hockey Canada has been screwing with player development for decades-- complacency "we'll always be best at hockey so let the boys do whatever", letting disgusting hockey culture fester, letting the cost remain a barrier to entry, all which has resulted in less families letting their kids get into/stay in hockey. I'm not surprised at all that the rest of the hockey world has caught up and surpassed us. We always had other hockey countries beat by volume. But now with our quantity down, it's now a match between quality and lol guess we don't match up at this moment in hockey

What were Emma and Gabe doing last night after the win, against Canada? And how did they ring in the new year?

happy new year to everyone again!! here's a small blurb :))

au masterlist

i lowkey imagine that whenever emma gets really excited she just starts speaking french without even really realizing she’s doing it and gabe is all blushy and smiley because he lovesss when emma talks in french to him and they’re the only ones who can understand one another

so when gabe comes out of the locker room emma rushes up to him all smiley and giggly as she praises him in french and he’s all like ☺️☺️

“gabe!! tu as si bien joué! je savais que vous alliez gagner. tu nous as entendu crier comme des fous dans les estrades?” (you played so well! i knew you guys were going to win. did you hear us screaming like crazy up in the stands)

and poor gabe is so overstimulated from the win and the guys on his back in the locker room that it takes his brain a minute to process what she’s saying with people speaking english at him too. when he does understand though he grins, “yes, i could hear you guys screaming. it was cute,” he responds in english and that’s when emma realizes she spoke french at him out of no where. she blushes, but he’s quick to reassure her.

“i love when you talk to me in french,” he kisses her lips and her embarrassment was gone as quick as it came.

“sorry, it’s habit sometimes and i don’t realize i’m doing it,” she mumbled but the boy shook his head, “i love it. je t'aime” (i love you)

he slung his arm around her shoulder, bringing her flush into his side as they joined the others to continue the celebration and the new year soon.

“we could go out again? that’s what we did last year?” ryan suggested to the group. everyone was for the idea so they headed back to the hotel to change into comfier clothes before taking on the streets of ottawa.

when they got back to the hotel and gabe's changing, ryan and james decided to tease him about him and emma speaking french.

"je t'aime, gabe"

"je t'aime, emma"

ryan and james pretended they were emma and gabe, going in for fake kisses and gabe just shook his head at their antics. he blushed a bit, but he liked being able to talk to emma in french when others were around because it was like they were in their own world and could talk in secret.

the group heaed downtown to the shops. the boys wanted to go to the bars like last year, so they headed into one that had music blasting out of the windows. emma clung to gabe's side because she wasn't the one to really go to bars back in boston, so this was a bit of a new atmosphere for her. gabe made sure to keep his arm on her waist as he led them through to get drinks.

she relaxed a bit more when they found a booth to sit in to talk and drink. ryan orders everyone a round of shots like rutger did for the team last year, a bit of a tradition now.

luckily, emma became a lot more comfortable while talking with the girls and having gabe at her side where his hand never left her waist, knee, or hand. they got drunk with excitement about the new year. 10 minutes to midnight, the group headed out to the streets again so they could see the fireworks. gabe held emma in his arms. they exchanged sweet smiles with one another, the buzz making everything feel lighter. samy was snapping pictures on her digital camera like usual, capturing one of emma and gabe with their wide smiles.

when the fireworks went off after everyone counted down the clock gabe spun emma around so he could plant a long, sweet kiss to her lips.
