sophomore slump or...

it's been a year since i made this blog so. updated intro post!

i'm zero, i've been into hockey for a bit over a year as of the start of the 22-23 season! my primary team is the pens, but i'm very fond of the kraken and the devils, and the habs are rapidly becoming a team-in-law. my heart is very big and i can fit many hockey men in it. especially goalies <3

i am in australia, so date/time mentions and online hours might be weird, but i do my best to be very friendly so my ask box and inbox are always open if you wanna say hi! my tag directory is here, but some are more relevant than others: all my liveblog posts will be tagged pens lb, and when i'm watching live i do period summaries tagged zeros commentary. anything mentioning injuries will be tagged injury, as well as specific things like concussion, and i do my best to tag for other tws/cws including teams/players but i'm always happy to add tags if i've missed something. fics and rpf policies/permissions can be found here.

things you won't find on this blog: gossip about players, shitting on WAGs, or any support for desmith. i also will not tolerate homophobia, transphobia, terfs/truscum, bootlicking, racism, ableism, fatphobia, or general shittiness. i am an adult, and do post adult content, so i’m sorry minors but i’d rather you stayed away <3

power and class…

@doingdathockey you’re right

sid scores so many goals because your average goalie has never seen a man of such advanced age hobbling towards him unassisted on the ice. understandably he mistakes sid for someone’s great-grandparent who was separated from his caregivers and wandered down from the stands

[ticklefighthockey]

and jake scores goals because no one can believe a noodle-armed little weakling obviously suffering from some kind of victorian wasting disease would have the nerve to shoot a puck on goal

thank you, dumo <3

Every day I think about that fic where big rig joins the team and Geno is like “Sid’s into big guys, btw. if you’re interested” and then they’re mean to him. Beautiful to me.

Kirill Kaprizov is here to blow bubbles

I see that Wild fans are once again Going Through it, and I can never give Rusko enough props, so I wanted to mention a little context to these photos. Kaprizov is smiling like that because the photographer has known him since he was about 15, and she loves to sneak up on him (she titled these photos “The Hunt for Bubbles”).

I think she’s a really brilliant sports photographer; her work is silly, often deeply intimate and focused on players’ hands, bare skin, smiles, or exhausted postures, and artfully composed.

(That last, if it isn’t clear, is Kaprizov learning to fly)

Every time an opposing team decides to overwhelmingly hate on Jake I remember the I think it’s from yohe tweet where he’s like “pound for pound no one talks more shit on the ice than Jake Guentzel”

[maljic]

thank you, Bryan, for that point

[pegsephone]

god made me bisexual as a gift to all of you, so maybe you should start acting a little more thankful

I love when you see a peeled goalie and they’re just a little guy. Like a soaking wet puppy you found on the street with his ribs pressing up against his skin. He’s so tired but he’s so gentle. He’s got eyes that tell you of the horrors he’s borne witness to but still he is filled with so much love and loyalty. I too would lay down my life to protect my tiny orphan son.
