The Hurricanes are the scariest team in the East headed into the playoffs. Not just because of the trade deadline, but because they've stayed true to their identity until the right move worked
Maybe we HAD to like the group before we could love it
I try not to be too judge mental (and I fail) but I've found in my 30 years on earth that people that have a huge problem with swearing are usually weirdos
Starting a one sided beef with whoever at this bar asked to change Iowa LSU to the Celtics like do you really need to see the Celtics Hornets April game
New ick unlocked is asking to watch the Hornets game
I spent the last two seasons as the only woman traveling with an NHL team and was treated with nothing but respect and I can assure you no one was “distracted” ...Hockey is evolving. It’s time the voices of hockey evolve with it. I’m sick of listening to this.
Emily Cave never ceases to amaze me. If she can type this knowing everything she’s gone through during this time, we can listen. Big reality check for me.
Can we just get rid of the tradition of the NHL going to the White House no matter who is in office to begin with? 80 percent of these guys are from like, Letterkenny, Alberta
Rod Brind’Amour on masks: “This whole wear one don’t wear one makes no sense to me. If someone tells me something is going to help I’m going to do it. I’ve never heard a good argument against it.”
Just wanted to let everyone know that my time at The Athletic has come to an end. It's all love, but it was time to move on. I'm really excited about some upcoming projects that are making me feel like myself again, but I'm also opening the door to new opportunities. So hit me up
One time I met Taylor Swift and I told her the Reputation album resonated with me so much cuz of a situation I was dealing with at work and she said “wow really? I was worrying it wouldn’t be relatable. Or actually that it would be relatable.” And I think about it every day
As a proud member of the queer community, it is an objective fact that the Republican Party is attacking me & my more vulnerable brothers and sisters. I cannot sit here and pretend this is a both sides thing, and I don't want to work somewhere I'd get fired for acknowledging this
Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. No one ever talks about them and they are not taken seriously whatsoever. I am an anorexia survivor and I’m not ashamed of it.
#BellLetsTalk
My bf's dad added him to a Facebook group called "Bobby Orr" and the only purpose of the group is like every few hours another old guy comments how much they love Bobby Orr and they all just agree
#mnwild
players, who were supposed to wear Pride jerseys tonight and did so last season, are not wearing them in warmups.
Told it was an organizational decision
The Wild have several other Pride initiatives they are doing>>>
If the Coyotes do move, can we please call them the Salt Lake Whatevers instead of the Utah Whatevers? I've never liked these state-centric names. If you live in, like, St. George, you're a hell of a lot closer to Las Vegas than SLC.
A college hockey ref once told me Casey Mittelstadt is the most annoying person in the world and I do think enough years have passed to share this information
Pete DeBoer: “if my team got an unfair five-minute major call against it in the playoffs, I simply would not allow the other team to score four times”
The Golden Knights: “You’re hired”
The emergency backup goalie procedure for NHL games is expected to be discussed at the general managers meetings that begin next week, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said.
#EBUG
Tony DeAngelo was asked if the league needs to change anything with the protocols/with the Canes playing two skaters short/etc.:
"I'm gonna sit this one out, I'm probably the last person they want to hear from"
Rod Brind’Amour on “Kraken”:
“It’s good. I don’t know. It’s good. What do you think?”
Me: “It’s OK. 8/10.”
“What would have been a better name?”
My brain *dont say Rain City Bitch Pigeons dont say Rain City Bitch Pigeons dont say Rain City Bitch Pigeons*
Didn't this guy create a whole platform because sports are getting too woke and he wanted to just talk about sports and then ALL they talk about on the platform is how triggered they are by how woke sports are becoming? Let me know when you have a sports take
I don't know how to tweet this out in a way that you will think I'm serious, but it's true.
Hurricanes President and GM Don Waddell cannot immediately be reached for comment about the offer sheet because he is currently at the rodeo.
This rules. I was sitting in the box next to him at the all star game and I was like omg this guy is really singing the hell out of the anthem and I turn around and it's Michael Buble lmao.
The silver lining of this whole situation is you're seeing players speak more strongly than ever in support of the LGBTQ+ community. This means a lot and makes me proud to love Hockey
"These people have their own personal beliefs, I just don't agree with them."
#Oilers
Zach Hyman says he would absolutely wear a pride jersey, saying he disagrees with players who won't.
He adds it doesn't go against his beliefs, and its important to be welcoming to all.
#yeg
As I keep watching these games, I'm finding myself enamored with Flau'jae and her energy and her story. I don't like Caitlin Clark or Angel Reese any less because of it. It only makes me more invested in the women's game to care about more of the players.
Point is, there's more…
BREAKING: Necas says Harry Styles is one of the most humble people he's met despite being one of the most popular people in the world. Was making jokes and asking questions about hockey. Necas is a big fan and was going to the concert tonight regardless of if they met
ESPN has gone so woke its top two stories today are about women's college basketball.
Not the men's tournament, not NFL free agency and not the upcoming NFL draft.
Women's college basketball takes the top two spots at ESPN. Who is asking for this?
Mad respect to all the players putting $ where there mouths are when it comes to pride tape. As I've said, various players/coaches have expressed to me one on one that LGBTQ+ rights are an issue near and dear to them, but hockey culture makes it hard to speak up. Things changing
Hey you fucking idiots she was never the social media manager but you all are harassing her for some reason. I would've killed for someone to take action when islanders fans were tweeting my address and saying they were gonna skin me alive for no reason in 2019. Stop being weird
As a bisexual person who isn’t like ~OUT~ I just have to say it hurts so much to get certain texts from family members like “consider we have friends on both sides”
They never considered me.
Random men being impressed that I know three hockey players’ names on their fantasy teams will never get old. Dude keeps saying this is awesome for knowing Brock Nelson’s name like I’m doing a magic trick. Are men stupid?
Hi. My name is robin lehner and I’m bipolar 1 and have ptsd.I take medicine and I have a psychiatrist that I talk to once a week.I’m in the nhl program and on top of that I’ve fought trough hell to be here. And I’m pretty good at stopping pucks.Not perfect. Bless you all 🙏🐼❤️🤫
Remember when you used to call me a ni**er in the locker room every day in Wilkes-Barre? Remember when you had a sauwastika embroidered on a robe underneath the hood you wore in an NHL locker room until the captain found out and talked some sense into you? Welcome to the mud Dan.
The security guard just asked me if I had a valentine waiting for me and I said
“Nah, I’m married to the game”
That might be the douchiest thing to ever come out of my mouth and that’s saying a lot
Dougie Hamilton gave me so much shit day in and day out and it made me such a better reporter. I looked forward to it. In the three years I covered him I learned I had every right to ask whatever question I might have. He had a big part in that. Best of luck
