Work is going to make me cry today, but it's okay, nothing will make me cry more than the playlist Chris Kreider made two weeks after Mika Zibanejad got engaged
If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽
Yesterday my little brother told me something very sweet and touching, that when he was a kid and had nightmares about monsters chasing him or whatever he would be able to end the nightmare by finding me in the dream and I would protect him by fighting off the zombies, or carrying him away. This is adorable, and makes me feel like the greatest older sibling in the world, but the hilarious thing is that when I was a kid I had nightmares of needing to save him from zombies and such. so many dreams where he was in trouble and I needed to save him. Like my nightmares began where his ended. Low key I think he mastered the ability to psychically transfer his nightmare to me as a child and I'm kind of annoyed with him.

And now EIGHT brave souls who are willing to work with any Sports RPF fandom 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
These sign ups include both men and women’s leagues in hockey, basketball, rugby, and football (soccer), leagues outside of North America in hockey, football (soccer), and rugby, historical European leagues in hockey, and a couple of sign ups where there is a blanket offer for any athlete within the sport.
Also, your mods just wanted to say we see and hear the feedback about the North American bias with regards to women's leagues in basketball, hockey, and football (soccer) in the sign-up form. We are brainstorming how to address this for the auction offerings pages this year and how we will update the form to reflect non-NA women's leagues for next year. We apologize for the oversight and we appreciate your patience with us in this first year!
Once, Daniel told us to enjoy the butterflies. On more occasions than we can name he was the one responsible for those butterflies fluttering free in our ribcage in a frenzy driven by unbridled happiness, pre-race nerves or a complex mix of emotions someone like Daniel could invoke. With him leaving racing behind, at least for the time being, there is certainly a chasm left in his place, a wound that's still bleeding. For many of us he was a little more than a racer, a little more than a number on a car and it's not easy dealing with change when it comes to someone you never knew personally but that someone left a significant mark on your life, one way or another.
One thing that stood out and still does – is the way Daniel is loved. In the wake of his untimely retirement, many found themselves at a loss, dealing with all that accumulated love, now seeped with some rage and sadness, searching for an outlet to direct that love to. Coping comes in many shapes and forms; and we wanted not only to offer a helping hand to RicNation but to have a little space to honor Daniel in a way that would feel right to each of us personally.
Hence, welcome again to the Thank you, Daniel! Fest.
Please, feel welcome, have a seat, have a snack. Hope you're doing better! Now, let us tell you some key details of the fest.
