Got to tour the (Work In Progress) practice facility today. Pretty sick! Can't wait to play some beer league games at 11:30pm here!

Had to make sure they're still taking care of my boy Sergy, too

It's been very impressive how quickly they have adopted hockey out here! That barn gets quite loud, and the owners seem to be keen on reinvesting in the local/youth hockey scene which is awesome to see

Tampa Bay fan who moved out west, picked up the Mammoth as my second team when the Yotes relocated and got season tickets!

Has anyone told @tolkoto.com about Bandon Dunes yet? It has been described as "Disney World for Golfers."

I can personally attest to this, totally worth the YouTube Rabbit Hole this week.

I love you Baker Mayfield

Thanks for the fun, its hard arguing with someone who knows your area w/o the delusion

Its a shame because the Panthers are a really good hockey team. They don't need to intentionally injure people to win. But they do and their fans defend it. That's gross and that's why no one likes Panthers fans.

What South Florida team was doing well in 2017? Post LeBron Heat that missed the playoffs? The Marlins teams missing the playoffs? A dolphins team that lost in the wild card? A canes team that didn't make the acc champ game?

You have a fairweather bandwagon fanbase that only responds to winning

Benji @benjib0p.bsky.social · 6d

Not only is that false but it's hilarious how you left out Tampa, Carolina, Nashville, LA, & Anaheim. They're all southern markets too. Three of them on the newer side.

Plus Vegas and Dallas fans know the difference between physical hockey and bush league goon behavior😂 it's just y'all that don't.

Benji @benjib0p.bsky.social · 6d

You're right though, South Florida fans aren't like any other. They are some of the worst fickle fans who only show up when teams do good. But please tell me how they show up for the Marlins. Or how they showed up for the dolphins at the end of the orange bowl. Please be honest with yourself😂😂😂

Unfortunately for you, I'm speaking from experience.

Here's a picture of me learning hockey at their LTP program.

Here's a game I went to that same year. (Notice how empty it is at puck drop)

Your bandwagon fans did not care about the Panthers no matter how much they tried to "grow the game"😂😂😂

Benji @benjib0p.bsky.social · 6d

I'm very well aware what platform I'm on😂 just pointing out the irony pearl clutching when you went out of your way to let me know you're clutching your pearls at me.

I'm not gatekeeping anyone, but if you want to argue hockey to people, you're going to get called out for not knowing how it works😂

Benji @benjib0p.bsky.social · 6d

You know what grows the game? Investing locally, building rinks, getting kids involved. Panthers tried that, it didn't work because SoFlo fans are bandwagons who only respond to winning. So to avoid selling the team they went all in on playing dirty so people would start showing up. Sick growth!

Benji @benjib0p.bsky.social · 6d

The discover tab doesnt hit quote, type on your keyboard, and hit post lmao. But that's okay, you've clearly shown you don't understand the connection between actions and consequences.

It's not gatekeeping it's understanding that the thing you cheer for and defend is illegal in the nhl😂

Benji @benjib0p.bsky.social · 6d

Buddy you literally went out of your way to find my post to clutch your pearls and play victim😂😂😂

But thank you for proving my point. You think off puck cross checking & sucker punching a guy going for a line change is hockey. Thats just assault brother. Learn the rules if you wanna grow the game.

Benji @benjib0p.bsky.social · 6d

Lmfao I did the same exact thing

Benji @benjib0p.bsky.social · 6d

And if this type of play was consistently being done by any other team, they'd actually get penalties and suspensions😂

You are the only team in the league that consistently engages in this type of bush league shit. And your team has gaslit your bandwagon fans into thinking this is "physical hockey"

Benji @benjib0p.bsky.social · 7d

While I genuinely wish Barkov a speedy recovery. There is absolutely no team more deserving of karmic justice w/ his injury than the Panthers.

ITS THE PRESEASON

What a hilarious way to end a great game. Give me Playoff scenarios with that extra -1 baby!!!!

Benji @benjib0p.bsky.social · 11d

Legally speaking that means no one won the trade

Oh.

Oh no.
