What if Sid and Tanger kissed at PPG Paints Arena, a simulation.

#AGAIN AGAIN #AGAIN!!!!!!#i possessed his spirit in this moment #f #find

you’re an absolute sweetie pea

assumption - you are mad that tanger/sid isn't a bigger ship

well i’m not MAD about it. i just feel sorry for everyone who doesn’t see the truth in front of us and won’t be able to enter the lord’s kingdom when the rapture comes

assumption you are sooooo beautiful

assumption: you didn't like playing sports as a child!

true. i was only ever signed up for soccer and i’d just sit in the field and pluck dandelions. ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to be inside on the computer

hazel, do you know which article it is that's all 'sid never says anything interesting, he answers a question by telling us what we already know, but we all hang onto his every word anyway'? Thank you!

Is it this one? I’ve always love this extract about him; it’s so fantastically true:

As a rule, Crosby does his interviews while sitting. Like all genuinely strong people, he prefers the weaker position. It’s hard to badger a guy from above.

We all cluster around his locker ready to be charmed by his presence. We know he won’t say anything interesting. Crosby is an interesting guy, but he has excised that part of himself for public consumption.

There’s no advantage for Crosby to be seen as edgy or slightly ahead of conventional thinking. Few players have ever so ruthlessly exploited advantages like Crosby does.

He’s asked about a couple of the day’s Hall of Fame inductees – Dominik Hasek and Peter Forsberg. Crosby has learned the experienced interviewee’s trick of repeating your question back to you as a statement. Hasek was “unbelievable.” Forsberg “loved to compete.” This doesn’t mean anything, but everyone nods like Crosby’s handing out stone tablets.

Someone brings up the slow fade of the enforcer – a topic with small potential for controversy. Crosby says, “That’s just the way the game’s evolved. Everyone adjusts accordingly. There’s definitely been some change. That’s just one of the many things that, with time, you see changes.”

You ask him about the disappearance of fighting, and Crosby tells you fighting is disappearing. It’s a hell of a trick.

So is he for it? Or against it? Does he care either way? No one has any idea. We all keep nodding. - Article

anonymously make an assumption about me and i'll confirm/deny it

i completely get your point about the chants. but at the same time, they’re making him uncomfortable, making sure he knows he’s unwelcome, and keeping his crimes in the public eye. it is crass and performative, but he’s playing in the scf no matter what. i think it’s better that he’s heckled than allowed to play in silence.

i absolutely understand this line of thinking, too. like i said i don’t think there’s a good or bad/right or wrong position to take on this issue. ultimately i guess there’s no good way to have a player like this in the finals.

I saw videos of the chants and they made me uncomfortable too! you put it well, I think it has to do with how for most normie sports fans women are clearly not viewed as people but rather for their utility in any given context.

yes, exactly that last point. i don’t know EM and i can’t speak for her, but if it was me, i don’t think hearing those chants on tv or twitter or whatever would make me feel good or supported. it would make me feel like what happened to me was being used as a gotcha to try to throw a goalie off their game. what does the chant accomplish that booing doesn’t?

i suppose at the end of the day i’m not, like, “bothered” by the chanting by canes fans, and while i don’t necessarily want to be reminded about the london case every single time i watch the sport, i can recognize that “don’t let them convince you to forget about it” is a goal with good intentions and its certainly better than any sort of alternative.

it’s just that it’s not a good feeling to see this case and this situation turned into fodder for fandom wars, you know? it sucks to open twitter and see two people snipping at each other that “at least [player i like] isn’t buddies with a rapist like [player you like] 🤧” and have it feel functionally no different than any other form of stan wars.

i don’t know. it’s not about who wins or loses a hockey game i guess and sometimes the chanting and the snark and the commentary ends up feeling like sports trash talk. i don’t want “no means no” to be sports trash talk.

idk! it’s just rubbing me the wrong way. i don’t think that means it’s Bad or Good or whatever. i just wish these conversations were being had with the kind of intention and care that a chant at a game cannot contain

Kyle thinks hes out of the woods. Genos contract has been taken care of so maybe Sid will stop leaving mildly threatening/ominous texts. Just kidding! Now Sid is doing the "but daddy I want a new puppy!" card. He needs Kyle to pick up Larkin and (most importantly) his $8.7 AAV contract

when crosby says BUY it’s like a battle cry and when crosby says MINE well i’ve jelly for a spine and if crosby says PLEASE i’d know it was a tease before a MORE NOW FETCH BUY and when he finally falls asleep we’ll pray and say amen until tomorrow when he wakes up and we do it all again

dylan larkin would be able to bond with sidney crosby over how palpable their distaste for trevor zegras is. beautiful team building done by holding that boy upside down and shaking all his lunch money out of his pockets
