I treat rpf like fiction and my real person fictions are archive locked for a reason. I’m interested in the politics of sport and sport narratives from a lot of different angles, but am here to have some fun at the end of the day.

"It's pretty crazy," Carter said after Friday's practice for the Western Conference finals. "I never thought I'd end up here, especially this quick. Obviously I'm happy with how it turned out, and I love the beach, so it's a perfect fit." "Once I get traded, you probably think that's probably it for the rest of our careers," Drysdale said. "But he's been a stud for us all year, and continues to be through Game 1. It's been a lot of fun."

A year after Philly breakup, reunited Jeff Carter and Mike Richards loving life with LA Kings / Drysdale, Zegras savor ‘full-circle moment’ in playoffs with Flyers

"[Jeff] just loves the game and he could skate. And that's you know what I struggled with, is skating. And he would always just like, so smooth and he's got a good shot." Zegras said seeing Drysdale use his feet as a weapon is nothing new to him. "When he's really playing, there's not too many guys like him," Zegras said. "I get so jealous when I watch him skate, because it's not fair for me and everyone else. But he's definitely taken another big step this year, and it's definitely shown on the ice, and off the ice."

Mike Richards on Missin Curfew / same as above

"[At] trade deadline, yeah, Dean Lombardi called me and was like, you know, 'What do you think of Carts?' and I was like, well, you know how I feel about him, whatever." "I know I got a few phone calls from the guys, what are we getting with him?" Drysdale said. "And obviously all good things. I think everyone has seen firsthand throughout this year what he can bring to a team and an organization. We're lucky to have him."

Mike Richards on Cam & Strick / same as above

"That trade is working for L.A." Philadelphia forward Danny Briere said. "Jeff has seemed to find a second wind since the trade to L.A. Sometimes it's OK that you have a trade working for both sides. That's the way it should be." Tocchet, who was traded five times during his 18-season NHL career, understands how important it was for Zegras to have a close ally like Drysdale in the dressing room as he adjusted to a new team. "It's big. It's one of his best friends," Tocchet said. "I think him having Jamie is big. I think he knew some other guys, don't get me wrong, but I think Jamie and him really … I think Jamie has helped him."

same as first pair of quotes.

MR: We were close... we literally just did everything together, and we had a great relationship. We lived in the same building. When LA traded for him, he lived at my house when I was there. So we were really close, pretty much the whole, our whole career, we followed each other around.

MR: Once we won, it was just kind of like icing on the cake. We went to each other after, and like, 'if you get the cup first, you give it to me, if I get it, I'm looking for you'. So we made sure to give it to each other.

windows movie maker on the internet archive we are so back

[wachovia-center]

re-read There’s Always This Year yesterday and we’re never getting the same kind of 90s/00s basketball back are we. Again for better or for worse (many ways worse) but I was talking to someone about travel youth basketball team and I know there are still active courts in many cities but I wonder how many rims were just never put back after COVID it’s very much not my upbringing/culture/sport but damn.

[wachovia-center]

if the NHL team ETFs actually happy we’re going to see either unchecked sports betting/insider trading of some kind or someone’s getting suspended

[wachovia-center]

super tinfoil hat but these kinds of things and also sports better could be seen as a way to better control an arm of the entertainment industry where players/stars/specialized labor is actually irreplaceable. and if I sound crazy I probably am.
