I saw the post about the colors apparently this is the difference, and of course they would look a little different in person since not all phones are the same. But 00671 is definitely more blue and a little darker.

Oh yes thanks for this! Yeah I actually saw a lot of sharks fan grumble about what the official color is because sometimes merch comes in a teal shade that’s more turquoise or more blue and there doesn’t seem to be a consistency because the color teal in general is hard to keep consistent amongst manufacturers lmao I personally think any shade of teal is fine for them at this point

@beautifulduckweed if you want to see this too!

The 271 numerology of it all

17 - Will’s birthday

17/71 - the numbers Mack usually uses on his jersey

271 - their jersey numbers together (obvs)

271 - Mack’s blade length that’s printed on them

71 - number of points Will had in college which he led the NCAA with

006271 - HEX color code number for the sharks teal shade which has Will’s Boston College jersey number + 271

7/21 - the date of their summer 2026 public reunion

Basically the universe really loves these numbers for them

To add to this, a funny one I ran across last month: Will is 71st on the stat list for 2025-26 season when sorted by Points per Games Played

Will passenger princess with Mack driving. Mack either picked up Will or Will is staying with him. We also know that Rj was in the backseat, though. Either he started there or Mack forced him to move back, which would be weirder and is less likely. We can therefore assume that Will is staying with Mack, a privilege not granted to other friends and teammates training with him. Where is Will sleeping in this arrangement? In this essay I will—

mack and will training together in vancouver | 21.07.26 (x)

macklin celebrini actually has this condition called WWTS otherwise known as will waist touching syndrome :/ it’s chronic :///

[eevieurs]

this is kinda halifax 2.0 to me in the sense of. like. i love to imagine all these players who have only ever minimally interacted with will being caught up in the whirling tornado that is macklin celebrini. they’re constantly hearing that “smitty” does this and “smitty” thinks that and “smitty” likes this and “smitty” can’t stand that and maybe then they’re all training one day. and for the past few weeks, the past few months, all they’ve seen is mack’s gorgeous hands and his spectacular on-ice vision and the way he skates and so it’s odd when he finally fucks up and he starts laughing to himself. and maybe he mutters “smit wouldn’t have missed that” while he’s still laughing and they overhear him, and it’s weird because this is mack, generational talent and the second coming of sidney crosby.

so will kind of becomes a mystical beast to them cause all they hear is his praises being sung, over and over, and when he finally gets on that plane to vancouver and shows up and he and mack start giggling with the tips of their skates touching and their jerseys tucked to match and these fond, nostalgic glances they’re sharing like i’m glad that you’re here, i’m glad we’re together, it all makes sense. that will’s a really good fucking player, yes, but he’s also just kind of mack’s guy, the person he looks to at every moment for advice and affirmation and everything between. that it’s really not about the hockey sometimes, not about the way they push each other to move faster, shoot better, but the way they make each other play with joy. the way that they make each other live with joy. the way they make each other better.

anyways. all this to say nhl training camps are more important for the cultivation of love and affection than dating apps and have a bigger cultural impact ultimately!

the inherent romanticism of visiting one’s hometown during the offseason <3

So I'll post this very casually
