@0rbitals And I think this goes for men, women, athletes, actors/actresses etc… not just hockey guys

@0rbitals I still think it’s a problem to have a public space dedicated to displaying works which portray such explicit and abusive themes about real-life public figures without their consent.
This analogy may not follow as closely, but to me it resembles a dog fight ring or puppy mill.

the same ao3 discourse that has been done to death is finally reaching hockeytwt, so i thought i'd introduce you all to the dog park metaphor (created by yours truly)

Living your life like this will get you nowhere. If what you’re blocking out is actually damaging, you’re better off walking away. If what you’re blocking out is just something you don’t like, you’re proving your ignorance and closing off opportunity for worldview refinement.

@BarDown Hey that’s the goal from his hat trick game against the Blues in game 5. That we lost. At home.

Ain’t nobody that gallops like Nathan MacKinnon.

Billy Barton was tasked with delivering a railroad spike made of pure silver to Denver. But he got "royally drunk" 15 miles out and the spike never made it.
In 1870, the silver miners of Georgetown marked the completion of the line connecting Denver to Cheyenne. A pure silver spike was created from local ore as a gift for the big ceremony.
They told Billy Barton, a well known proprietor in Georgetown, to bring it safely to Denver.
Barton and his crew headed out. When they reached Golden, they stopped for a quick drink to “quench their thirst.”
One drink turned into "royally drunk". They ran out of money for more booze, and pawned the silver spike to keep the party going.
To top it off, they slept straight through the ceremony the next day.
Back in Denver, Governor John Evans was on the platform with a huge crowd, ready to drive the famous silver spike. When it was time for the presentation… nothing. No Barton. No spike.
Thinking fast, Territorial Attorney General, Sam E. Browne grabbed a regular iron spike off the ground, wrapped it tightly in a sheet of paper from his, and dramatically handed it over, announcing:
“Here’s the silver spike from Georgetown, with the compliments of the people of Clear Creek County!”
Governor Evans played along without missing a beat, holding the “spike” so the paper looked like shining silver.
The real silver spike? Evans later tracked it down and redeemed it from the pawn shop.

Wow 3 Broncos qb’s on this list. I know @RealBirdLawyer is going to be jazzed about John Elway 😂

It's rare—only a handful of QBs in NFL history have had a season with >600 pass attempts and <4,000 yards. Notable examples: • Drew Bledsoe (1995): 636 att, 3,507 yds • Blake Bortles (2016): 625 att, 3,905 yds • Bo Nix (2025): 612 att, 3,931 yds • Joe Flacco (2013): 614 att, 3,912 yds • John Elway (1985): 605 att, 3,891 yds High-volume, low-yardage seasons usually signal inefficiency on struggling offenses.

@Broncos4six Ultimately, A was a result of B, so I completely agree.

Easy to say Russ, but has to be allowing the Bowlen Trust to run the Broncos for 8 years.
Outside of SB50, truly a waste of time and money

What’s the biggest mistake your favorite team has ever made that still makes you shake your head? 🤦♂️ A draft pick, a trade, a coaching hire, or something else? Let’s hear it.

Latest SI magazine arrived today. One story polled voters on NFL’s top 5 Hall of Fame snubs. Players, coaches, execs. Look who was No 1 snub.

@InTheNixOfTime @MahomeSZN If you told AI to combine every broncos quarterback from Tebow to Nix you would get this image.
