sports has everything you could possibly want honestly. found family. forced family. divorced family. soulmates. enemies to lovers. lovers to strangers. good overcoming evil. evil winning it all. broken dreams. dreams come true. and most importantly. bloody face injuries. who said that

“Thanks for the pants,” he said to Sidney Crosby, whom Suzuki had never spoken to in his life. 

imagine being the new, youngest captain of the habs and your first words to sidney crosby is thanking him for his pants you're wearing

Has someone made the full timeline from undercooked to fully baked? I’d like to get an exact time period when I go from saying oh he’s cute to oh my god he’s hot. I know the transition happened but the question is when........

RPF entirely aside, this generation of star NHL players very publicly having the kind of close, meaningful relationships that they do and being allowed to be human is so important to me and so important to this lowkey cesspool of a sport improving.

There is absolutely a time not that long ago when Will and Mack would have shut down their public interactions and Seth Jarvis' buddies would have been a novelty that was treated as a semi-joke and not a genuinely sweet human interest story during the Finals. Matthew Schaefer being openly still affected by his mom's death would have made him soft.

I've been a hockey fan for a long ass time and while the Carter Hart of it all is very unfortunately still alive and well, I can't ignore that the vibes are getting very different now in a way that means a lot to me.

happy 39th, Sidney

it’s so wild that an employed adult who works for tumblr had such bad judgment that they went on instagram and thought it would be a good idea to share a direct link to an rpf tag where people post explicit omegaverse headcanons about real actual hockey players who have instagram accounts

there's something so sinister about hockey rpf being used for engagement bait when the national hockey league is so well known for its homophobia and intolerance that somehow in its 100+ year history there has never been one openly gay/out player on a major league hockey team. like 100 whole entire years have passed and not one single man felt safe enough to be himself. but sure every time the notifs slow down let's just whip some willmack out there into the public eye. that oughta do it. i'm sure this has been discussed before i think it's just even weirder in today's climate. like they (the league) are very much using these guys for marketing regardless of what personal feelings they may have on the matter. like the second you sign that contract not only does the nhl own your body but they also own the public narrative about your sexuality and relationships. and they're going to get everyone else in on the joke because they want views/clicks. really weird. what happened to reasonable expectations of privacy. what happened to boundaries. it is literally statistically impossible that there should be zero (0) gay players in your league's entire history + current roster and yet no man has lived his truth for fear of backlash. don't worry y'all it's 2026 we love the gays look at all the colorful tape on our sticks. you freaks and weirdos are totally welcome here. but ☝️ remember that being gay is for other people, and for hockey players it's only okay if it's a joke and/or being flouted for engagement. super awesome great work everyone. let's hit the showers
