Woke up thinking about Denver Barkey waving off the offer to go out for his birthday and telling the team he’d rather rest up and celebrate at home after they win anyway. And his pack the rookies sense the subdued mood and start to worry, but then he texts in their ‘Barks and the dawgs’ groupchat to come up to his room at the hotel, where they find him waiting with a couple six packs he bought himself, because “Obviously we’ve gotta celebrate together, but who wants to bother sneaking Marty into some place in Pittsburgh?” And things get a little hazy somewhere in between gushing at Alex about his electric playoff debut and reassuring Matvei that he will definitely end up back in the lineup and showing Porter the replays of his Letang confrontation that are already all over his feed, chirping him for starting fights just to stop seeing himself getting his hair pulled (and maybe Marty blushes extra hard at that, with an extra little “oh shit” expression that Denver files away for later). But it’s the most comfortable kind of hazy, and Denver doesn’t say anything as it creeps past their curfew but no one comes looking for people. Everyone starts nodding off one by one, an awkward pile up of big warm bodies gathered on his too small bed, and he lets himself drift at the center of the dog pile, excited about tomorrow, exactly where he wants to be.

do you think alex bump ever still calls barkey captain on accident

tocchet basically admitting he pulls in barkey as interpreter for video reviews with michkov (presumably when the local figure skating coach is not available…?) is killing meeee. I can only assume it goes like this:

tocchet: and tell him if he can’t even last a full shift then his fatass needs to hustle back to the bench and let someone who can actually skate get on the ice

denver: (long pause) coach says once the puck clears the zone, you can change

matvei: well maybe if he actually put me on my natural wing then I could create some offense. like how am I even supposed to create plays if we are stuck in this stupid dump and chase cycle

denver: (longer pause) mich suggests a controlled zone entry
