i’ve noticed that my sportsbro friends will usually refer to players by their last names like “matthews” “marner” whereas i’m calling him mitchy like i’ve known him since third grade where we shared pencil crayons
once you learn to enjoy hockey not for the score but for the narratives and drama, life as a leafs fan gets easier. yeah sure we lost 9-3 but have you considered that’s objectively fucking hilarious
auston, waking up after the captaincy surgery: where’s john
brad treliving: you don’t know who gave you the captaincy?
auston: what? *starts crying*
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
if he’s got you scrolling endlessly on your phone, your stomach in knots, and an overall feeling of dread/anxiety, that’s not your boyfriend. that’s the GM of your favourite hockey team
this is my first time watching the draft and i have a question. are the phones at the draft tables for calling other draft tables across the floor? bc oh man that is such a fun visual in my head
god i just feel so awful for everyone close to the gaudreaus. the poor kids not understanding why their father hasn’t come home. their sister mourning when she should be celebrating. the wives having to raise their kids alone. it’s just so so fucking awful
i just feel so bad for sammy. there’s something so inherently leafy about the goalie that finally won you a playoff round (against vasilevskiy no less) immediately having the worst performance of his career in the following season.
it’s the day after and it’s hitting me just how much im gonna miss sammy and his post game quotes. also hearing the crowds chant SAM-MY always made me so happy for him esp after his rocky start to the season. i wish him all the best in vegas 🥺
mitch marner — mean
i would like to dedicate mean to every single mitch marner hater that has ever commented something mean about him. one day, he will hoist the cup and all you’ll ever be is washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
i never believed time could slow down until i watched that puck roll over the goal line that night, i could have sworn it was in slow motion the first time i saw it
“John Tavares! They finally caught lightning in a bottle.”
The last time JT and his Maple Leafs were in Tampa, history was made, core memories were created. ⚡️🍾
if ur hating on this, ur stupid. obviously leafs fans are celebrating and remembering this thing that happened that literally did not happen prior since 2004. it’s not about tampa. it’s not about you. just bc ur miserable online let other people experience joy jfc
