Thinking about Mack's stick in Will's stick collection. I wonder how it ended up there. Did Mack give it to him? "Hey Smitty, I know you collect sticks and thought maybe you wanted one of mine? How about this promotional Team Canada stick I was given ahead of the Olympics? No, I don't need it as a keepsake from my first Olympics. I want you to have it." Or maybe he gave it to him as a joke, like haha take this Bruce Springsteen and Will just doubled down and said bet and placed it front and center in his collection.

Or did Will ask for it? "Mack, can I have a stick of yours? For you know... uh... my collection (not because I'm in love with you. WHO SAID THAT?). No, I don't want one of your normal sticks. In fact can I have this blatantly obvious Team Canada one, I think it'll look great in my All American childhood home."

So what are we actually thinking? Next week is Mack's birthday and the question remain: will Will go to Vancouver to spend it with Mack?

I feel pretty strongly that he will, mainly bc he said himself he'd go to Vancouver to train so might as well do it for Mack's birthday. However I do believe they will lay low bc of the shit storm that hit the internet after Boston. Obviously they won't post about it so unless there are any sightings we won't know. And even though I'd like some pics for my own entertainment, I think it' be good for them if this trip stayed away from the internet.

What are your thoughts?

Have we pondered the idea that the reason Will doesn't want Mack to hang out with his harem of boys (allegedly) isn't because he doesn't want Mack to be a part of his inner circle, but rather that he wants to keep the rest of the boys away from his relationship with Mack?

On the east coast Will has most of his friends: childhood friends, college friends, other Boston friends he's made over the years. They all link together. They're all friends. But on the west coast he's got Mack; a relationship that has been said time and time again to be special. When he's in San Jose with Mack they are a duo. Sure they have other friends, like Toff, Wenny, Eky, Ty and Dickie. But they spend the majority of their time together, alone, because they want to. They have their own little circle that consist of just the two of them. That's new for Will I'd imagine. He's always been part of friendship groups, but now he's got this best friend all to himself. And it's different with Mack. Their vibe is different. Easier, maybe? You don't have to try so hard because Mack likes you just the way you are. So maybe Will wants to protect that. And he knows Mack is hot shit; a generational player, the next Crosby, Captain Canada. Everyone probably wants a piece of Mack. Walk in his shadow. Breathe in his presence. Just look at the way the BU boys surrounded him at Marmon. Will's friends might also want that. But Will doesn't want them interfering with him and Mack and potentially alter the way Mack sees him or affect their relationship. Mack is too important for Will to ever risk that.

Alright, now that worlds is over... What do we think Mack's next move will be?

Will he...

fuck right off to Boston to seek comfort with Will (return of the spa playlist?)

go home to Vancouver and bury himself in training so this never happens again

go on a bender in Southern Europe with Dickie and drink away his sorrows

disappear and we won't see or hear from him until Toronto in July

Will Smith Hockey will never not be so endearing to me. He's literally written by a woman.

Because what do you mean you like rom coms? Endless love? Are you kidding me? Oh, you like listening to queen pop artists Adele, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry? You like to read in your spare time, to the point you involve your friends in it and create a book club? And let's not forget the baking. Not only do you bake, but you bake for people. Bringing it into work to show your appreciation. You're a planner, meaning in a relationship you're probably the one who plans the dates and trips and what not. You kiss the chain around your neck before games, because of course you do. You love your family, friends and animals. On top of that you have beautiful, blonde curls and blue eyes and you come from a wealthy family with a house on Cape Cod. Literal dreamboat.

(Probably missed some things, feel free to add to this list in the comments.)

WSH, please never change.

Let's circle back to the neck kiss

I'm still thinking about the famous neck kiss or whatever it was. Like, what was that? What possessed Mack to do it? Cuteness aggression (bc same)?

It just feels like such an intimate thing to do, right? Like I wouldn't even do that to my best friends. And was it a kiss? Surely not... And Toff reacting to it, like he usually ignore their shenanigans but this time it was a little too flirty. But Will skated away smiling before they started pushing around each other like kids on a playground. Not a concern in the world for that blondie, just enjoying having Mack breathing down his neck.

This is the most questionable moment for me when it comes to these two... again what was that?
