everyone is dunking on tennessee for this without realizing that they are only the fifth state to abolish slavery with no exceptions (CO, NE, UT, RI). it’s not an “ooh backward southern state” thing it’s that slavery is still legal for incarcerated people in most of the US.
I don’t think you all get the joy that is women’s sports. imagine your favorite men’s sports team but two of them are married to each other. also one is married to the captain of a rival team. also one of them has dated eleven other players creating a complicated web of exes.
im at my bfs hockey game - the opposing goalie has a book on the top of the net and is reading it between whistles ….???!!! what book got u hooked like that bro i gotta know
nhl news right now is like “breaking: your team’s best prospect is racist. also the rape guy is back. also another defenseman is in qanon. also there’s way more rape guys and we don’t know who. also your fave just went on record saying he’s excited to play with the rape guy.”
goalie in goalie gear: excellent
goalie in regular clothes: nice
goalie on skates in hockey clothes without their goalie shell: deeply unsettling, not fit for human consumption, the stuff of nightmares
In the wake of the Blackhawks scandal, Ducks employees felt empowered to report incidents of verbal abuse by Bob Murray.
The allegations date back years; Murray has been the GM since 2008.
the role capfriendly plays in this sport is so wild to me. like it’s just an unofficial website started by some random guys because they wanted to but it’s also a critical resource that actual teams use all the time
if there’s one thing about goalies it’s that they’re going to leave the crease. they love to go on their little adventures. always trying to leave the nest. abandon the net. when it comes down to it a goalie cannot be contained.
going to make a website that rates the odds of every nhl player getting traded based on nothing except my personal feelings but I will claim it’s based on a very complicated model. look at this graphic. I’m telling you right now I just made it up but it’s still pissing you off.
every single thing I learn about the CHL is horrifying. seems like the only things the junior hockey system does well are enforce elitist power structures, produce soulless, traumatized boys, and enable abuse of all forms. how many incidents is it going to take to change things?
fav college hockey moment so far was when the first period ended and my friend asked “is this a quarter or a half?” and when I said a third he went “you’re fucking kidding me” with the most stunned look I have seen on a human face
freaks me tf out when hockey guys talking about mallioux go “we all do dumb stuff as teens” or “everybody’s got that thing” because no?? I do not have “that thing” of committing sex crimes?? do you?? do you think that’s normal??
man imagine stealing some boxes off a truck and when you open it up it’s just all bobbleheads. just 100% bobbleheads. and you can’t even sell the bobbleheads because the pittsburgh penguins would hunt you down. there’s a whole city looking for these goddamn bobbleheads
The Penguins announced today that the shipment carrying the Jagr bobbleheads for tonight’s game has been stolen en route to Pittsburgh.
As a result, the bobbleheads will not be distributed at tonight’s game, but will be distributed at a later date.
Nobody:
The NHL: Did someone say Trevor Zegras? We know how you love Trevor Zegras. Here’s a clip of Trevor Zegras scoring. Look at him. Behold him. Did you know Trevor Zegras is American? You are also American. You relate to Trevor Zegras. You adore Trevor Zegras.
all a sports team has to do to endear itself to me is to have Two Little Guys Who Are Friends. it can be the most uninteresting team to watch in the world but if it has Two Little Guys and they Are Friends then I’m in.
imagine how getting healthy scratched would work at like a regular job. you show up ready to do some accounting and your boss goes is like actually just sit here the whole day and watch everyone else work instead. we know you could work but we’d actively rather you do nothing.
