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.

would moving to Philadelphia fix me…

yes

sixers only fans complaining about flyers owning the mobe and scheduling all their Saturday games first…all 76ers tx are sold out immediately relax babes

[wachovia-center]

not to say I wouldn’t complain, too, in their position. I’m also aware that when the contract runs out and the flyers don’t own their arena )or will they still?) and spectacore fate is unsure the franchise won’t be cooked but it may need to. become more efficient

ooooold disourse but was anyone on twitter the day people were litegating if the reel mrs wennberg reposted was woke or problematic or woke-problematic or did I hallucinate that

[wachovia-center]

tankball fail!! (Old graph)

Counts players who were on the active roster at any time in that season up to the point thr graph was made (Feb-2026). Does not matter who the player was drafted by. Counts trades to both teams.

[wachovia-center]

why could we see every single one of her ribs like yeah lighting whatever breathing in whatever like literally I can count

[wachovia-center]

some people just don’t deserve to be fixated on the philadelphia flyers they don’t have what it takes

[wachovia-center]

wait if Nico unfollowed everyone because he’s popping the question is frigid bitch invited out of courtesy and under/over he shows up

[wachovia-center]

I imagine it’s still very much wedding season in Nolan Patrick’s life and maybe he’s traveling to them maybe he’s not invited maybe he’s putting down a couple hundred for the registry and RSVP’ing “I cannot attend.” And the ones he’s going to—local or close enough friends, whatever—he’s running into the guys who used to envy or chirp and chirp and envy him who never really reached out with the unwelcome “how are you doing” and he sits in a corner without a date. And there’s probably also some guys who are still playing pro hockey in some way. And he’s still a frigid bitch.

some of yall didnt go insane at 15 and it shows

[wachovia-center]

rick tocchet walking into the locker room and seeing the young guys ribbing each other and thinking ‘yes! they’re bonding the old fashioned way!’ and so asks them what’s going on and one of the says “oh we played call of duty last night” and rick feels every single year of his life weigh down on his shoulders and just turns around and walks back out.

danny using "il a du chien" (literal: he has some dog) in his autobiography in reaction to seeing rookie claude stir up shit with zdeno chara

when avoir du chien (has some dog) means:

+ according to one redditor it can also be applied to men to describe having flair/charisma
