We got a little bored and we determined all the Four Team combinations that could go undefeated in conference for the Big Ten this year.

(Don’t worry we did the other conferences too)

The worst thing about the decentralized draft is we have to deal with an insufferable amount of Gary Bettman

Sure this move makes little to no sense now, but just wait until Miles Wood scores the Stanley Cup winning goal in 2028

I have had A Vision™️

To BUF: 14th OA, 20th OA, Luca Del Bel Belluz

It’s kinda wild that the owner of one of the biggest social media platform in America is publicly outing the president as a pedophile and the main response to that is “yeah we knew that already”

Riding transit in DC is wild you’re on a bus and it’s a bunch of blocks of normal city buildings and then it’s the fucking White House and then it’s a bunch of normal buildings again like you didn’t just drive by the worlds most powerful tangerine

Just “finished” Bobby Broccoli’s 17 Pages Documentary on @nebula.tv, and I am in awe of the twist. If what I think is about to happen happens, this may surpass 17776 as my favorite piece of journalism, ever.

The NHL Draft Lottery Discourse™️ on the bird app is really showing how little the average NHL fan understands basic math

I also always forget how short Gary Bettman is

There is a solution. #CBJ

Today is the ELEVENTH anniversary of the disappearance of Malaysian flight 370, which is the first event anniversary for me to be recent enough for me to remember well but long ago enough that it makes me feel old.

Also happy birthday @willbutala.bsky.social @balkocreative.bsky.social

Somewhere, at a hockey rink far, far away…

Thrilled to have been able to design the Star Wars Night jersey for the #CBJ  during my summer internship! 5th Line meets the Empire’s front lines in a Stormtrooper-inspired whiteout.

Thanks to Jason, Audra, & everyone at the Jackets for the opportunity!

On Margaritaville Night, NWA is paradise 🏝️🍸

Once again excited to have designed another promotional item for the #CBJ - this time the Margaritaville Hawaiian shirt! Thanks again to Jason, Audra, Marcus, and everyone at the Jackets who gave me the chance during my internship!

❤️ HOCKEY 🧡 IS 💛 FOR 💚 EVERYONE 💙

Penultimate jersey for the #CBJ I did over my internship! Simple but effective: the Pride flag striping takes center stage. No matter who you are, you have a spot in hockey!

Thanks as always to Jason, Audra, and the team for the opportunity!

JUMPING A MOTORCYCLE OUT OF A HELICOPTER WHILE SNORTING COCAINE, THINGS OF THAT NATURE

Since it’s on the bird app:

“Why watch overtime playoff (international) hockey when you can simply snort cocaine and ride a motorcycle out of a helicopter?”

If you let Trump and his ilk ruin your enjoyment of something you love, you're letting them win and you're only making yourself more miserable.

I want USA to win tonight because it would be a culmination of decades of work to grow the sport in this country
Donald Trump and his squad of fucking goons currently trying to take away the livelihood of me and my friends doesn't get to take my spirit or my joy or define or defile my love for my country and this sport. I will not allow him to defeat what i am or what makes me who I am.

I haven’t been a big fan of the whole 51st state thing but I just found out my local Tim Hortons doesn’t accept coupons so now I’m kinda down for it

I would like to publicly apologize for underrating the nation of Finland’s hockey team
February 15, 2025 at 8:58 PM
Okay, can I just say how tired I’m getting of the whole “this isn’t true best on best” arguments I’ve been seeing? Czechia doesn’t have enough defensemen to field a team. Russia is literally actively invading a sovereign nation. Yeah it’s not a full 12-team tournament like the Olympics…
