blog notes.

my tagging system is really rudimentary. basically just "[team lb name]" (ex. canucks) for all teams.

"gif" for gifs, "mp4" for videos, "art" for art, "faves" for favourite posts — not just limited to hockey stuff, etc.

players aren't usually tagged but that could change in the future! like too many players to do that so ive held off

the hockey stuff.

been a fan since i was a kid and locked in Especially Hard during the canucks 2024 run

wouldn't consider myself new to hockey itself (hockey family + friends), but only started lurking and interacting with the lb this year so there are probably many things i may not be knowledgable about. feel free to correct or inform me!

have a habit of liking too many teams (or being too neutral about them) and it causes problems for my heart during playoff season

new to the pwhl but i like the goldeneyes and victoire!

mainly lbing the canucks during regular season but will watch other teams im into on my own time. you'll mainly see me in other lb tags during playoffs 🙂‍↕️

my dad bet $7 on the game for Argentina to win and i like to think he made them lose bc 7 is unlucky in chinese

[kaliforniahigh]

20 shots on goal for Spain vs 2 for Argentina is what I like to see. Congrats Spain and most especially, congratulations to Lamine Yamal!!!!

The best part of this is that both messi AND ronaldo stans (often arguably the most insufferable and genuinely horrible people on the internet) will leave this tournament bitter and unhappy

Ken Dryden on my mind today. Do you ever think about how Dryden’s, Carey Price’s and Jacob Fowler’s debuts and first wins were all against the P*nguins?

Also do you ever think about the number 9, what it means to this organisation and our SOG count in the 2026 game seven against T*mpa?

Do you ever find yourself thinking about Cole and “Magic! At the Bell Centre!” and “De Maurice, à Boom Boom, à Guy, à Steve, à Pierre, à Stéphane, à Cole! Le flambeau est passé!” and “Nos bras meurtris vous tendent le flambeau, à vous toujours de le porter bien haut” and Nick and “A hundred point season! For the captain!”

Do you ever think about Saku Koivu returning to a standing ovation that just wouldn’t stop, went on through the anthems and basically all the way until his first shift was complete

Do you ever think about Lafleur’s tribute at Centre Bell and how the ovation lasted about ten minutes and how they tried several times to start the anthems but the people just wouldn’t stop cheering for Guy

Do you ever think about PK Subban returning to Centre Bell after the trade and getting an incredible tribute, ovation and how he was crying big tears at centre ice

Do you ever think about Marty checking every home game if Madame Béliveau is in attendance and waving to her when she is

i gotta start off by saying that as much as we want to go about critiquing the adaption part of an adaptation, it's something that is not inherently possible

[attackingmidfielder]

fuck it, at least I’m gonna get paid!

[wclfbird]

ive honestly got so much to say about the odyssey movie but there's just. so much to have to word

every time the eastern US starts freaking out about smoke blowing in from canada i have to hold my tongue so badly because i’m genuinely filled w so much empathy for people experiencing heavy smoke from wildfires—it sucks! it hurts to breathe, and i don’t even have any respiratory conditions. and it’s scary to look at! and wonder about how it’s affecting you!!

it’s hard tho because the conversation always seems to skew in such a frustrating direction where 1. many people don’t seem to realize that the US also has lots of wildfires, even right now, 2. people are so irritated with how their life is affected that they become angry towards those losing their homes and 3. they’d lead you to believe that they’re the only people in north america who have ever had smoke blow in from another country? the worst smoke we get where i live is almost always from california, washington, etc. rather than other parts of british columbia. and again it sucks a lot to deal with, but as someone who was maybe 5km from having to evacuate from wildfires once (we were packed up and ready to go if needed), that feeling is just so terrifying that i can’t imagine ever seeing smoke and feeling irate towards the people in the cities and towns actually burning :/

anyway climate change affects us all, and it certainly doesn’t respect borders, hence why it needs a global solution 👍

Wildfires in northern Ontario force First Nations to flee

Several wildfires are forcing members of a number of First Nations to flee their homes in northern Ontario.

“I had time to run home and pack a bag and get to the beach where the boats were waiting,” said a member of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (Collins). “We literally had minutes to get on the boats and flee before it took our town. “Once we left my house finally after packing what I could in a pack sack, the fire was right behind our place. We had to run to the beach and once we got there, it was only moments before the fire had jumped over the (train) track and was coming for us.”

it has since been confirmed that namaygoosisagagun first nation has completely burnt to the ground. if you would like to help the community navigate an ongoing crisis, i urge you to donate to the anishinabek nation 7th generation, a registered charity seeking to improve the lives of first nations people. donations are going directly to members of namaygoosisagagun first nation.
