Happy summer fic exchange, @ca77um-ilo77 ! I had a lot of fun trying out a pairing I’ve never written before, which is always a treat. They ended up being so sweet! I hope you enjoy the fic 💜💜 @hrpffandomeventblog

hey remember when the vibes were so off in plymouth that quentin musty called his dad to come pick him up?? idk what could have possibly tipped him off tbh...

was it greg cronin's underage street fighting classes? is it the fact that your parents have to sign over legal guardianship and power of attorney to billet parents? the same billets who receive monthly checks from USA Hockey and therefore have it in their best interest to keep receiving those checks?

was it when they forced 15- and 16-year-olds to dress and undress in the public hallways of the USA Hockey Arena for a month until they "earned" the right to privacy? you know, those hallways that have security cameras up in the corners? but don't worry about that. the NTDP staff has plenty of experience of storing, editing, and streaming hours and hours of footage of their boys!

not that the kids have anyone to complain to, really! after all, after the Jack Hughes class the NTDP switched to 100% online school instead of regular high schools like Plymouth High or Northville High where there are, oh I don't know, mandated reporters who aren't also paid by USA Hockey, or god forbid other kids they might befriend outside of the hockey bubble.

what could possibly go wrong or unreported in a system like that? ha ha! surely not USA Hockey, who hired Brad Aldrich AFTER his sexual abuse scandal with the Blackhawks! surely not NTDP, which emphasizes "breaking down the individuality" for the incoming 15-year-olds!

(not my own words, of course. words from beloved NTDP founding member and pillar Kirk Culik, the man responsible for team and culture building, player mentoring, and off-ice conditioning for 20+ years, whose only qualifications pre-NTDP seem to be boxing coach/thoroughbred horse trainer/corrections officer, and who was later charged of murdering a 16-year-old boy)

again. i don't know what musty was possibly talking about. this is a totally normal place to make teenagers change

I went a little off the rails for a power-point-party, so I thought I'd share. Don't come at me about canonicity. Also yes, I spent hours using illustrator to make pose-able vector mando'ade.

2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs: Round 1, Game 6 Canucks @ Predators | May 3, 2024

oooOOOOoooohh!!!!

the whole short clip is good but 2min mark is the climax

lmao at 1min mark, re: new coach/his juniors coach: "BITCH I DONT KNOW HIS LYYYFFE. Tell all your reporter/podcast friends to stop saying i brought him on. I barely remembered he existed let alone what league he's been working in."

I woke up to a text probably like a lot of you guys did as well.

-connor mcdavid

hat AND hoodie??? and that worn voice off the top??

This man has been CRYING over guilty feelings of not being good enough resulting in the firing of his coach

1:10 mark: and ofc-- reporters being fuckin dumb enough to spur on a person clearly feeling shit about himself and his fired coach. "Like yea, we're doing badly but wtf are you insinuating with that question asshole?? That we're uncoachable??? Have u suddenly forgotten all of our recent seasons successes??? Under woody???" Love how drai starts spittin FACTS😤
