when the time is right, yes. the majority of the game is just them slowly skating in circles picking their butts and yelling loudly enough so the broadcast can pick it up "ugh please let me fight i'm a baby"

varies by region but typically the nhl is going with whatever's on sale

Secret Base @secretbase.bsky.social · 1d

most of the equipment already has an eggy funk though

Secret Base @secretbase.bsky.social · 1d

the fact that they used to not allow forward passes is really fun (awful) to imagine

ok egg on my face. i wanted to talk about david hockney but no questions have rolled in about his art

that shit's going to snowball so hard and ncaa programs will recognize the same cyclical benefits they see when investing in all sports, and for the kids - would you rather go live in saskatoon or phoenix

gritty operates at a galactic frequency that allows him to be rendered visible for only 73% of the world's population. if you are familiar with gritty then yes, he is real. if you are unaware as to existence, it is a genetic mutation that we are working diligently to isolate

you'll be hard pressed to find a more sustainble career than Zamboni Driver. they give you a vehicle, they let you keep the shaved ice all for yourself which you can turn into anything, and most concession workers will trade their goods for a ride home

this is not a question

Secret Base @secretbase.bsky.social · 1d

yes, and there are so many different version of "it" but yes to all of them

short term: the nhl can't find any of their pucks so they've been scrambling to come up with an alternative and gary bettman just keeps yelling "what about extra hard boiled eggs??"

long term: mcdavid just gave the oilers such a gift and they'll probably still fuck it up until he walks in 2 years
