Every time I return to check please I’m utterly lambasted by how hugely traumatic and horrifying the back story with Jack and Kent is. What do you meeeaaaannnn your teenage soul mate attempts suicide the night before that draft where he goes first you go second so you go first he goes to rehab and then you don’t hear from him essentially ever again and you’re just sweeping in the career of a lifetime and he’s in college and can’t stand the sight or sound of you but is dating the nicer cuter trad wife version of you and they make out on the ice as he wins the Stanley cup in his rookie year and you’re still alone in Vegas!!!!!!!!!!!! What!!!!!!!!!

EJ: What’s been the biggest reason behind your success in Philadelphia this year? | 04.07.26
Trevor, after reaching a career high in goals: It’s just a really close, tight knit team. I’ve never felt more at home at the rink, and I think when you have that love and camaraderie and passion and everybody’s pulling for each other, I think it brings the best out of everybody. So, we’ve got a great squad and hopefully we keep it going.
the first thing about rpf to understand is that it is ultimately fiction and we will never understand the true inner workings of the lives of celebrities because there is always going to be a veil of performance clouding the way we perceive them. the second thing about rpf to understand is that it’s always true + real and it happened exactly as i imagine it in my mind
asked about Easton Cowan being made to dance to Hideaway (as a recreation of the viral video featuring Cow, Barks, and Bonky) in the last meeting between the Flyers and Leafs on Dec. 8, 2025:
"What did you think about [Cowan's] lockerroom dance and how did it compare to the real deal?"
DB: "Uh, I don't know, I haven't seen a video of it yet, but, uh, I mean, his one in person wasn't great. Uh, not-not the best moves—" *laughs*
i figured since a lot of u guys are not french speakers i could bring some french gabe perreault interviews/articles to u.
first, there aren't many filmed french interviews but those i've watched, if this is interesting to u, i find his voice is much quieter + softer. he also drops it lower. this fairly normal and do it myself. his french is also very neutral, he doesnt use much slang or common crutch words. id bet on this being bc he mostly speaks french w family (older) and media. so theres that. (relevant if u want to write him speaking french)
here is an article from nov 2023.
note: the use of confess here haha. truly many quebecers feel Gabe should be playing for us. so gabe "confessing" that he feels "above all else" American is given this guilty connotation by the journalist :P
more below!
after talking about Gabe's scoring w the Eagles, they bring Mack in to compare, which is fun! Nowadays we hear mostly about the Will/Mack rivalry, but in Nov '23, it was Gabe/Mack comparisons. And of course lets not forget to mention how canadien Mack is. boo american gabe!
No idea what the question was, but like Will, Gabe cannot resist bringing in the other two muskateers. Things are going well, its their third year together and things "click" between them. I said I'm sure.
Gabe is open about the fact that playing for BC was motivated "partly" by continuing to evolve together with Will and Leno. And then we get something really interesting where they speak about the trio being drafted and how Gabe had to wait the longest to be chosen... I do think of this often. Esp interesting when we get into his insecurities below.
then there's a bit about his brother, Jacob. Gabe himself says that Jacob is more "costaud", sorta like, physical/beefy, which is why Jacob chose canadian junior hockey. But for Gabe, he felt it was better to play less matches and spend more time in the gym to improve his physicality. Gabe is a pretty light player. Jacob has 40~ pounds on him. I think this is really revealing, gives a lot of insight into Gabe's insecurities but also his priorities. He is excellent on the ice, making plays w Will etc. We also know that the USNDTP encourages their players to avoid hits. So here's Gabe, a guy who knows he's smaller and is mostly trained to avoid these situations, naming physicality as a priority OVER ICE TIME.
what comes through to me is that gabe is very self-aware. he doesn’t deny the obvious (that he’s smaller, lighter, drafted later, QC/American). that feels like family influence. yanic perreault actually seems like a really healthy influence on his kids. im sure gabe has also seen enough media thru his father to know how to interact easily, despite coming across as a little shy. even this early on, when asked about himself he deflects to will and leno, which is really common/expected in NHL answers.
if mack was framed as this disciplined canadian prodigy and will as the all american boy, gabe slots himself as the connective tissue between those two roles, not achieving or aspiring to either (IMO).
anyways that's it for this article. if anyone else wants to add or offer a different opinon, feel free ^^ ik we all have google translate haha but sometimes things get lost.
