NHL dudes act like they get their wives and gfs in bulk at Costco

I always wonder how confusing it must be if they’re all gathered at like a party or something…. and everyone has had a few drinks. Like what they gonna do when they gotta find their wife??? They all look the same, they’re gonna be looking for 12 years til they find Jessica or whatever.

If they ever took a group pic with a lot of them it would look exactly like one of those pics where every girl in a sorority stands outside their house wearing their letters and they all look exactly the same in the most terrifying way possible

Oh, that’s exactly what those photos look like. Same psychology behind them, too, I’d guess. You have a sociocultural pressure to conform to and perform a very specific brand of white femininity or else (from the WAGs’ end), crossed with the inclination of wealthy statused (mostly) white men to demand said performance from their partners as a status symbol and a standard to maintain. It has nothing to do with who their partners are as individual people, but as a group the blatant lack of individuality and differentiation is disturbing. And of course, tastes regarding personal aesthetics and partner choice don’t develop in a vacuum. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I went into some buildings and you heard the boos and the racial remarks but that kinda geared me up. I was called the N-word so many times that I thought it was a compliment, you know (laughs) So I just went out and played. […] They had never seen a black man on the ice. I just told myself: “Just go out and play and try to represent the hockey club at the best of your ability. And if the fans can’t see that then don’t worry about it.” I am a black man. I know when I look in the mirror that I am a black man. Nobody needs to tell me that. — Willie O'Ree, who became in 1958 the first black player in the National Hockey League

MOLLYHALL'S BIG LIST OF HOCKEY WEBSITES FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO READ THE NEWS BUT FUNDAMENTALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND FOREIGN POLICY

ha ha, a foreign policy joke. 

but seriously, you guys have been asking for sites i use to keep up-to-date, and these are them! note that this is not ranked by order of preference, just by order that my google search bar predicted them to me.

  1. The Hockey News - what’s great about THN is that it is just hockey. unlike a lot of other sites, which are separated into various sports and niches, THN knows what it likes and doesn’t see the point in trying out a new restaurant. i feel like i can 99.9% of the time trust them to be factually on-point, and both well-researched and well-informed in their editorials. plus, i think they’re pretty fair across the league about not picking favorites. 
  2. SB Nation (NHL) - SB Nation is great for quick, to-the-point news stories. they’re also excellent for coverage of your individual team, since all the teams have their own pages. i’ve also liked a lot of their more editorial pieces, but i find that THN’s editorials have a little more heart than SB Nation’s. that’s just a weird preference thing, though. 
  3. Your Local Beat Writers - i can’t really link you to anything here, sorry dudes. but if you have a team that you love, be sure that you’re following that team’s local sites and papers–both fan-run and, you know, for-profit. when it comes to team-focused news and features, those are going to be your best bet.
  4. NHL.com - … with the exception of NHL.com, that is, which obviously should be your first go-to for video, behind-the-scenes, and game recaps. maybe this one is like, “duh mollyhall,” but hey. BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.
  5. Twitter - I KNOW, I KNOW, we all hate getting out news from twitter. unfortunately, a lot of teams use it as one of their primary ways of giving press releases (LOOKING AT YOU, PENGUINS), which means that it has all the latest up-to-date info. if you can’t bear twitter, that news will obviously trickle down, but if you’re one of those “if you’re not first you’re last” people, sorry. twitter or bust.
  6. TSN (NHL) - i mean, if you can’t trust canadians for hockey news, who can you trust??
  7. The Pink Puck - t’s possible that i’m biased. BUT I THINK WE’RE PRETTY GREAT. 
  8. Bleacher Report - probably one of my favorites. they’re just super reliable. (ALSO - extraskater is great for advanced stats!)
  9. Sports Illustrated (NHL) - to be honest? i’m not crazy about SI/NHL for daily news. they usually aren’t giving me anything that other people haven’t already given me. that being said, when SI decides to do longer pieces, particularly profiles, they knock it out of the park every time. also, i was featured on their roundup page once, so obviously that makes me famous and them cool.
  10. ETA: Grantland - tumblr user thecoggs reminded me of grantland!! duh, i can’t believe i forgot. again, not all-hockey-focused, but their NHL tag is usually pretty on-point. THANKS THECOGGS.

i hope that’s helpful! there are a lot of great sites out there and i wish i could give you all individual team fan sites, etc., but tragically your girl does not have that kind of time.
