Hi Goose, Jasper Weatherby is promoting ways to talk to Strauss Mann! 😅

WEATHERMANN SUMMER 2026 RIGHT ON SCHEDULE

I liked this that Strauss posted...oh the screen cap is on a different device. I'm sure you saw it!! But I liked that he made a point to say he could/would talk to people in German and Swedish too, i thought that was really lovely and I think shows how truly appreciative of his time with both teams. Now to get Jasper over to Sweden 🤔🤔

🎉If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog.

I honest to God have been thinking about this for the past 8 days since you sent this bc I was like what have I NOT said on this godforsaken blog that doesn't also doxx the fuck out of me...

I have currently been waffling on a bed and mattress purchase for over 24hrs which is stupid bc literally today someone came up to me after church and was like do you have backpain? You sit with your hands supporting your lumbar. Oh....

I actually was not a diehard fan of the Sharks until after I became a Barracuda STH and the reason for that is bc I was like oh they keep calling my prospects up!! I should pay attention to this NHL team!! And then once I acrimoniously divorced the Avs, I got serious about the life. And now I'm in hell forever and I'm so happy about it. I do miss the Avs though. Ni.chushkin saul to paul moment when

My friends' current response to me expressing attraction to literally anyone is to "too bad you're married" in reference my own Didn't Know They Were Dating plotline in 2017. And after hearing the whole story they are convinced I play too much and accidentally got married at some point without noticing. Which is likely bc I never read the paperwork people put in front of me.

Hi Goose! I’m considering doing some linguistic research on NHL speech stuff (more specific. Modal verbs and maybe seeing if the non-native speakers use them differently from the native speakers) in post-game interviews for a uni course and was hoping that maybe you’d know if there’s a website or anything that has a bunch of transcripts of these? Or maybe someone else that sees this can point me into the right direction? Like. It’s not super serious and I found some stuff by myself, but I’m also not that well acquainted with the NHL website… anyways. I’d be grateful for any hint :D

Hi Nona!! This question whips and that sounds like an amazing project for a uni course!!! Unfortunately I do not know of any legal sources for that, however our best friend YouTube has coughed up something:

For postgame interview recordings, I poked around and the only place I saw uploading several years' worth of post-game interviews was this YouTube playlist...it may be better organized somewhere else on that user's page but I have to leave the house in 5 seconds and I am on my phone so I leave it in your capable hands peruse...

For actual transcriptions, my only thought was using an audio to text transcription service...the first page of google was all AI apps except for Microsoft's (I think) but you may be able to find something that doesn't use AI elsewhere. This might be a massive pain bc it would involve either taking every video and extracting audio OR doing something like playing it loud on your phone and hoping the transcription service hears something.

Otherwise those are my only thoughts. I'm gonna tag treasured sharkivists @oensible and @puckpocketed bc they both do way more transcription than I do and might know of better resources. Also tagging Starsivist zoe @kitnita because she does a lot of word by word transcriptions for her lil dudes and prob knows more than me.

And of course if anyone following knows anything, feel free to send an ask or dm nona or smthg. This project sounds amazing I hope it works out!!! Let us know how it goes!!!

Hey, I saw the rumour that Eetu Mäkiniemi might come back to Finland and become the adult goalie presence for my babygoalie with TPS in Liiga. I thought you might be interested in hearing about that, but as of now it seems to only be a rumour 😅

my mfing BOY...I straight up thought he was going to have to retire after being injured for most of the past 3? 4? consecutive seasons so this is wonderful to me!!!!

Hi Goose!

As I'm currently on a train to go see a DEL hockey game, I wanted to ask how watching hockey in Philadelphia compares to San Jose?

Here the rinks differ so much in size based on how big the budget of the team and also the location is, although of course in the end, hockey is always hockey.

Have a nice day! :D <3333

Hi Nona!!

I wanted to respond to this thoughtfully and then I forgot to respond at all :')

For me it's difficult to say, because the times that I was really deep in the Sharks arena was when the Sharks were basically at their worst so the Tank was usually pretty empty, esp on weekdays, the fans were clinging to life, and the vibes were uh. semi-hysterical depression maybe?? My main entertainment at games was, falling catastrophically in love with Mackenzie Blackwood. BUT ☝️☝️ the food far outstrips the Flyers arena, for the sheer fact that they had way more local chains so one time I had samosas at the Tank and it was literally the happiest I have ever been. Also their vegan coffee place I love you Voyager I miss you Voyager.

Also I'm not sure about how budget differs because the Flyers are owned by a massive corporation, whereas the Sharks are majority owned by the guy who invented data mining. So they're both pretty monied, just in different directions and the vibe of how that money is spent is different.

I think also, the Bay Area being what it is and the Sharks in particular being what they are, there were a lot more brown people in the arena. And while I would never belittle me and the like 25 other brown people at the xmo at any given time our joy of watching Flyers hockey, the Sharks do way more ethnic heritage nights (Los Tiburones! SEA heritage night! Lunar New Year! probably some others I am forgetting!) so it was way less. lonely?? As a brown person. Hockey Is For Everyone Not Just White People From South Philadelphia.

I think I went to like 3 sell out games ever at the Tank so I have no idea what the vibe is now that they are selling out more regularly tbh I assume louder and more joyful and fans are not creating their own sidequests because the on ice product sucks so bad. I love the Sharks!!! but they were so bad when I was there. I've heard it was genuinely insane when the Sharks were really really good earlier in the 2000s/2010s, but I sadly never experienced that.

The other main difference is that Californians by their nature are calmer, nicer, and way more obsessed with themselves, whereas Philadelphians are New England adjacent and obsessed with their sports teams. So the standard Flyers fans hold their team too is imho way higher and more intense and they Will let the team hear about it. The team Will suffer their wrath if they fail to perform. Whereas Bay Area fans, at least at the times that I was regularly attending Sharks games, were kinda like, I hope we win but failing that I hope we don't embarrass ourselves too badly (we did.)(who up for that 10-1 canucks-sharks game.) #tankforbedard/#tankforcelebrini etc. It's a huge difference in fan culture but a really interesting one. I'm curious if it has changed but I'm not really intending to return to the Bay Area for an extended period of time anytime soon so I will have to get back to you on that in several years when hopefully Kiefer Sherwood has brought the cup to San Jose multiple times. grease the palm trees!!! In the meantime Travis Konecny I need you to stunt on these hoes!!!!

I don't know if any of that says anything. Mostly I wish the Flyers arena served coffee. One time I got empanadas at the Tank and it was the second happiest I have ever been in my life, after samosas at the Tank. I am very easy to please I think.

thank you!!

Buying Luka a car + nicoJack? 👀

I posted some bullet points for this earlier, so I'll share an actual piece of writing below:

Don’t get Jack wrong, Nico’s ass looks amazing in whatever he chooses to wear, or not wear, for that matter.  And although Jack didn’t go to college, he learned all about science experiments in middle school, and he’s retained the general principle of it all.  Step One: Define a Question to Investigate   Which bottoms make Nico’s ass look the best? Step Two: Form a Hypothesis Nico’s ass will look especially delectable in yoga pants. Step Three: Gather Data Get Nico into yoga pants. Step Four: Analyze the Data Stare at Nico’s ass in yoga pants Step Five: Draw a Conclusion Jack may or may not already have a mental Excel spreadsheet filled with his observations of Nico’s ass and ratings for how it looks when he wears jeans or shorts or sweatpants or joggers or nothing.
