@nicolefshirman Anything to wean them off the hair gel

I’m afraid I have some bad news … the rest of the team has to get buzz cuts now too

@IslesGirl3 someone score, anyone

LITERALLY DO ANYTHING BUT GO TO OT

@Rooszel This is amazing! You are so clever

I crocheted the @WhatChaosShow logo. I started during the 24 hours trade deadline livestream but it took a bit longer to finish. @DJ_Bean @PeteBlackburn @shawn_depaz

@Brown_Ajah @luke_winkie I think we could argue the increase in present tense and the general tropefication of published romance novels is driven by fanfic. First person, definitely not

@luke_winkie Disagree with the assertion that fanfic is driving the first person push. I have a read a ton of fanfic. The amount in first person is vanishingly small.

I wrote about this trend in modern booktok-style romance where readers very much prefer first-person—to the point of flat out refusing to read the more traditional third-person—and what that means for literary culture as a whole.

@nicolefshirman just seems a lot for what it is?

With the full trade out there now (thanks for keeping us waiting and freaking out, boys), I can’t say I’m moved too much one way or the other I hope Schenn can contribute more to the lineup than Drouin has and that the contract ages moderately decently

@nicolefshirman Good luck!

May the odds be ever in all of our favors. See you on the other side 🫡

@IlyasCigarette I’ve tried lots of the other popular ones but find them all a bit unsatisfactory :/

@IlyasCigarette Ari Baran’s Penalty Box series is outstanding - fantastic writing and some proper hockey content/issues too. I love Game Misconduct best but they’re all so good. Cait Nary’s books are excellent too.

i’m curious, besides rachel reid books what’s your favourite hockey romance?

@FixatedOn Fingers crossed for you!

I am having a lot of sports-related feelings rn

@nicolefshirman I really wanted Canada to win but this has made me cry

In actual tears right, this was for Johnny ❤️

@nicolefshirman This was so good, thank you! (New Islanders fan here, trying to learn stuff)

To be an Islanders fan is to have thick skin. We survived Spano. We survived … Kansas City? We survived Milbury. We survived the Barclays SUV. But we have four rings, an unbeatable record, one of the best arenas in the league, and a truly incredible fanbase. Welcome aboard 🧡💙

SO YOU’RE A NEW ISLANDERS FAN? A complete deep dive into the history, pain, glory, and absolute chaos of the New York Islanders. From the Dynasty to the Fisherman, from the Coliseum to UBS. Everything you need to know 🧵⬇️

@NYIslanders Definitely worth staying up past 3am for that!

#ISLES NATION HOW WE FEEEEEELING

@IslesGirl3 If I’ve woken up at 3am for this then we’d better win 😩

We’re gonna lose to the worst team in the league aren’t we 0-1

@WhatChaosShow just discovered you make an appearance in this fic. Supportive kings! archiveofourown.org/works/77626776

@nicolefshirman The Liverpool shirt too! My two sporting worlds combine ❤️

The longer I look, the better it gets 😭

@seethelizards @anon_opin It’s 100% the labels thing

@anon_opin Well, at least Aldi put their price labels below their products rather than above like Lidl.

Although they are practically identicle in every way, no one can pin down exactly why Aldi is so much better than Lidl.

@EmmaKH46 I never c bomb but I just did. What a little rat

Martinelli you horrible, dirty little scum c*nt!!!

@FixatedOn This is the best news!! ❤️❤️

@EmptyNettersPod that was glorious, thank you! Can I very strongly recommend Game Misconduct by Ari Baran? The series is brilliant but that book is my fave - bit more hockey focused than HR

BABES!!!! 13k of you watching the Heated Rivalry finale with us?!!! That was all time. You’re all such beauties. Recording the season finale review now and will have it uploaded ASAP!!! ❤️❤️❤️
