why we all think Kip's dad is the real MVP...

I put together the other night which words sum up how all the reactions have been to a super-supportive parental figure like him...

He is the only parental figure shown whose love does not have to be EARNED.

Kip is loved unconditionally, unlike

Scott (a faith and church gave him his opportunity and he better be grateful not gay),

Shane (he needs to perform at peak not only on the ice but also as role model for racial representation) and

Ilya (gets humiliated and called slurs by father and brother at every chance and carries a country’s expectations on his shoulders).

And this might have just broken my already aching heart for all of us who are not loved unconditionally.

you know Ilya is clutching his chest from the cuteness aggression

Goalie Shane for the win! 🥅 💕

No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.

Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.

And they are done! This was such a fun project! I am thinking of making the not hockey player cards too. Let me know if u have ideas about how I should do them! HOPE YOU LIKE THEM🫪

Normally Shane doesn't meet Ilya's eyes during their face-offs.

But in the last one he not only catches his eye but he *smiles* and Ilya fucking *melts*.

Ilya knows by this point eye contact does not come naturally to Shane so seeing him actively seek it out and seem so comfortable and relaxed probably made Ilya feel all warm and fuzzy.

I saw someone make a joke of “haha can’t they just change Dallas Kent to be on a team in Vegas” and people adding that “oh yeah he should definitely be on an American team instead.”

I know it’s a joke, but I think this is the thing that kind of grinds my gears about HR fans/new hockey fans in particular: You cannot put everything on one person or one organization and make it out like the rest don’t have the same problem. Pretending the issue is isolated makes people feel good and like you can just fix things by finding the Bad Teams with the Bad Players.

Every team has garbage men on them. Vegas has a rapist. The Canes have a massive homophobe and another rapist on their farm team. And these are just guys we know about. And everyone loves to pop out with the Sharks are safe! Oh just cheer for the Penguins!

Listen to me. I was a big Blackhawks fans in the early 2010s and Patrick Kane was my favorite player. I could tell it was him on the ice just by the way he moved. And then he was accused of rape. And it just soured things so badly for me because I knew no matter if it went forward with a conviction or not I knew that most men are never convicted and he had power and money at the height of his career to make it go away. And I would never really know whether I was supporting a rapist or not. I stopped watching hockey except at national levels and watching local teams in person. I have pivoted to supporting the PWHL (which has its own problems).

Dallas Kent was written before anyone knew about Carter Hart. Because there’s a culture in the NHL of permissiveness around sexual assault. And homophobia and racism and misogyny. I think the character of Kent will be an important element of season 2 to openly discuss this issue.

But it will never be an issue of one bad guy or team.
