FANDOM STUFF:

GIFS!

we Know that hockeyblr, and tumblr as a whole, have gifmaking as a Whole Big Part of fandom. and hockey i feel like it’s especially good to keep up with gifmakers because you probably can’t watch every game in the season, but there’s so many stars gifmakers at LEAST one of us gotta be present for the important stuff!

so here’s a list of active stars gifmakers! i tried to include people who have been gif making for at least this entire season… please do not take it personally if i missed you !!!! @kitnita (gif tag) @teex (gif tag) @starrynet (gif tag) @39oa (gif tag) @starscelly (hi lol) (gif tag)

cannot compliment the above people enough !!! their gifs are beautiful and vital to the stars economy please follow them all immediately if not already doing so <3

FIC FEST!

we are so blessed to have some of the greatest minds of our generation in stars fandom, so i want to give a huge shoutout to the existence of @notacowfest that’s been around for 3 years now!

all necessary + vital info is listed and linked on their blog, but it’s so insanely cool to have a fic fest dedicated to just the stars and a lot of care and good work is put into it so!!!! please check that out for sure

how is it even fun to only support good sports teams? there is nothing more satisfying than watching your garbage team rise from the ashes and win once every 12 weeks. The adrenaline rush of watching your team barely eek out a win brings much more utility when they’ve lost 7 straight games than when they consistently remember how to sport.

the emotion i just experienced is kind of indescribable

the funniest part of this post to me is that the reblog:like ratio is nearly 1:1. nobody’s just liking everyone who sees this video goes yeah i gotta inflict it on as many people as possible

hey are u still active here? i logged in after eons and feel like i lost a core part of my 20s here.

Maryam my sweet i am always here.

First off, spin this wheel.

You just landed on one of 200 fandoms that have been very popular somewhere on Tumblr over the years. Topics were chosen either from appearing on a @fandom end-of-year recap or from my own long (long, long) site memories before that.

also all of these fandoms are definitely things that really exist in the real world and none of them are Tumblr creations

Would you be able to appear knowledgeable about this topic in a five-minute conversation with someone?

Yes, because I already knew about this topic on my own

Yes, thanks to what I've absorbed from Tumblr

Yes... but only if the other person doesn't know much about it

Uh. Maybe.

Probably not, to be honest

I have never even heard of this topic

It's time to stop fucking around, people. We need to get serious. NHL Head Coaches as of June 2024 + some former head coaches for flavor.

NHL head coaches:

I tried not to include any coach I knew to be physically abusive to players (or domestic abusers as in the case of Roy) but my knowledge only extends so far. If I included any unknowingly, slam the mfing kill button and leave some knife emojis.

Edit: I did just see I spelled marry wrong...forgive me the boba I'm drinking is really really bad and it's killing my ability to cope 😌

CapFriendly Alternative Sites MegaPost

(Last update: 06/09 - added FAQs drive.)

As we are all likely aware by now, the Washington Capitals have decided to ruin everyone's lives by purchasing and sunsetting CapFriendly. We expect the site to go dark on or around July 5, 2024.

While the hockey community has experienced a similar loss before, with the death of Matthew Wuest and the subsequent loss of CapGeek, this is a markedly different situation that sets a troubling precedent - namely, that freely usable, public NHL data is now available to the highest bidder, who can then revoke access to the data at a minute's notice. Two things can coexist: we can be happy for the makers of CapFriendly that they are being compensated well for their services while also scorning the Washington Capitals organization for choosing to turn off CapFriendly entirely.

Under the cut, please find a list of free CapFriendly alternatives and other websites that contain NHL data. (In some cases, they are mostly free - however, most/all important information for lay analysis is available for free.) This list is dynamic and taking suggestions, so please feel free to send me any websites you find at @stereax!

PART 1: SALARY CAP TRACKERS

PuckPedia: The New CapFriendly

PuckPedia is the closest replacement to CapFriendly currently available. It contains salary cap information for all teams and players, draft pick information, several calculators including a buyout calculator and a pick value calculator, agent information, and more. They also run PuckDoku! The biggest strike against PuckPedia is its lack of simulators (Armchair GM, mock draft, or trade simulators); however, in the wake of the CapFriendly news, PuckPedia shared that an Armchair GM simulator is under active development.

Spotrac: Another Salary Cap Checker

An alternative to PuckPedia for salary cap information. However, it lacks much of the information and functionality of PuckPedia.

PART 2: ADVANCED STATS

NaturalStatTrick: The Holy Grail of Stats

NaturalStatTrick, or NatStat for short, is a site that contains just about any stat you can think of for any team or player. It has a learning curve but is generally understood to be the most reliable stat tracker available for free. You can even view stats for individual games on it!

MoneyPuck: DTWoMeter and More

You know it from the Deserve-to-Win-o-Meter or its playoff odds rings, but MoneyPuck has a lot of useful data as well if you do a little browsing. Generally, I've heard that MoneyPuck is less accurate than NatStat, but is easier to use, especially on mobile.

HockeyViz: "If I Ever Sell, I Failed"

Home of the Simple Hockey Charts, HockeyViz has a visual for just about every stat out there. You've almost certainly seen some of them before. Most of them are completely free to the public! They're super useful for visualizing stats as more than "just numbers", allowing you to see exactly WHERE things are happening on the ice.

PART 3: SPECIALIZED SITES

NHL Armchair GM: Building Rosters

This site allows you to Armchair GM a roster. Notably, it has a steeper learning curve than CapFriendly and does not have a forum or other way to easily save and publicize your Armchair GM moves. However, it can be useful to make Armchair GMs and have visuals for them.

NHL Entry Draft: With the First Overall Pick...

This site contains a ton of draft resources, from a mock draft simulator to scouting reports. Definitely a useful site for those who are interested in the entry draft. I've seen a couple of mock draft sites, but this one seems to have by far the easiest and arguably most expansive way to use it.

NHL Injury Viz: Rulers of LTIR

Here, you can explore the relationship between the injuries of players, their cap hits, and how teams did without them. Very useful when you're arguing that a certain player going down doomed the team.

PART 4: MORE TYPES OF DATA

HockeyReference: The Good Old Days

Hockey Reference is best used for surface level data about older players. It has some trivia sections as well, for if you ever wanted to know all players wearing certain jersey numbers, sharing a certain birthday, or hailing from Alaska.

EliteProspects: Every League Imaginable

Want to know the roster of a third-tier league in Quebec? EliteProspects has you covered. Literally every league on the face of the Earth, currently existing and not, EliteProspects has info on. Any player you can possibly name, EliteProspects has their stats from atom hockey all the way to the end of their career.

PART 5: FORUMS

HFBoards: Hockey Forums

Probably the most well-known hockey forum out there. If you want to talk puck on a more forum-like site, similar to CapFriendly's forums, this is the one for you.

PART 6: CAPFRIENDLY ARCHIVES

SergeiFyodorov's CapFriendly FAQ Drive

Curated by @sergeifyodorov. Originally posted here and sent to me by @fellowshipofthegay. Archives of the CapFriendly FAQs!

Got a site that's not listed here? Let me know at @stereax and I'll add it! Remember: While CapFriendly may be going away, hockey analysis is here to stay!
