hockey has the funniest guys of all time. youngest bossman i’ve ever seen 19 years old mackbrini captain of team canada. nate "i’m not here to have fun" mackinnon who keeps being put in a psychosexual torture chamber by tim hortons staging domestic ads of him and his situationship/coworker/childhood crush sidney crosby. connor bedard saying "lemme ponder this. she can juggle" about his mother. john tavares and his fucking amulets

love my hockey mutuals. occasionally poetry snippets or kafka quotes will cross my dash tagged "san jose sharks" and i have to think well i didn't watch it so who am i to judge. maybe franz kafka did write that about the san jose sharks

They should invent an nhl team where none of the players has to leave ever and they all grow old together and no one gets traded and everyone stays with their friends and holds hands and raises the next generation of the team together

one of my favourite parts of broadcast sports is when they zoom in on a player who has just fucked up, you see their agonised face, their apology to their teammates, their attempt to visibly shake it off to get back into the game. its a great journey to watch, especially for someone who has never got over a single thing in my life and viscerally experiences those moments of self recrimination personally.

I know I haven't been asked about this but the socmed of NHL teams have been asking players about which of their teammates they would prefer to have as a ref in a game if the officials don't show up. They did in fact not make up this scenario. In the rule book page 53, rule 31.11, talks about refs being unable to continue in game or if they are unable to show up to the game. The Club managers or coach's then decide who to make into a linesman and ref of the people marked as league replacments and if unable to agree the home team has a player become a ref while the away teams player becomes a linesman

it's always "give [insert goalie here] a gun" and never "let them slowly walk behind the bench to smack the shit outta their defensemen in full view of everyone while the game is still going" which i personally feel would be much more cathartic and echoes quite pleasantly around the rink

Goalie is Pasha Lavrenov for HC Mogilev of the Belarusian Extraliga. Video via their instagram.
