In my head nhl captains only exist in three forms: ball of sunshine and rainbows (e.g. sidney crosby, sasha barkov), absolute fucking menace (e.g. brad marchand, brady tkachuk) or eternally traumatised by the narrative (e.g. connor mcdavid, quinn hughes)

the most difficult thing about growing as a person socially, as in getting out of your shell and noticing that you are, is that there will still be times when it doesn’t feel like you’ve grown at all! times when you can’t really connect with anyone around you, times when you fail to enter into an existing conversation, times when you say the wrong thing (or nothing at all when in hindsight you probably should’ve). but that’s also kind of the best thing, because that’s the thing that helps you realize that sometimes, it’s not you or your lack of skills or any shortcoming. sometimes certain environments just aren’t for you and certain people aren’t your people, and that’s okay. that’s human. it’s okay to not feel the progress you have made all the time.

Matthew coached young players after his playing career

rest in peace

When I first got into hockey I heard about a guy named "johnny hockey" and I thought that this was like, a legend — someone like Gretzky or Lemieux, who had been so good that he'd had the game incorporated into his name forever. Imagine my surprise when I learned that this dude was just Johnny Gaudreau, not just a legend but an active one too, one still playing. I thought that was really cool. I figured he must have done something really special to earn that nickname.

Turns out it wasn't just what he did — it was who he was. Rest easy, Johnny Hockey. You built a legacy that will live for a long time.

And they shouldn’t fucking be! I don’t know we’re surprised that players that committed sexual assault aren’t being offered contracts.

[andtodustwereturnoncemore]

so apparently sidney crosby started the little penguins program aged 21???

and someone from that program is in playing the nhl right now???

when i say that nobody is touching this man's legacy i'm dead serious
