did you get all the way down to "I'm not gunna chill what r u thinking he went down on every girl that attended Boston University and u think he's gay"?

the mind just boggles at some instagram comments.

(also i want eichel/roberto birthday porn now despite knowing exactly *nothing* about roberto besides he just turned 21. boston nonnies, any interesting information you're aware of on him?)

well now I have! wow that one instagram user in particular is so defensive of eichel's sexuality!

'Ur a friken meatstick @(instagram user questioning eichel's straightness) i think there is a reason why he has 1000 times more followers than u'

'Jack Eichel is a God no hes not gay he gets more pussy then anyone on earth'

these comments are honestly gold. I really can't wait for the day when a really awesome hockey player chooses to come out just to see all the heads that would explode.

any guesses for the first head to explode?

(also i now want eichel to come out as bi just to confuse this particular instagram commenter, because yeah, so ridiculously defensive that it's solid gold reading in my book too.)

Jack Eichel is going to go first in SOMETHING, damn it. Even if coming out isn't exactly the draft.

(Bonus points if he decides to come out and then McDavid beats him to it.)

or if it's because they were caught fooling around at.... something, so it's not even like he's doing this without being linked to McDavid.

I totally think bi!Eichel would be a bro about being out (*coming out* if he did it on purpose would probably involve a lot more PR-type statements).

*I* kind of want him to come out because he's dating a hometown boy and Buffalo is all "awww..." about it and wants them to have babies asap.

(My first thought was the bartender who wouldn't serve him after his first NHL goal or something else big this season because "hey that was fucking awesome but ask me again in a couple years when you aren't a walking liquor law violation" because I find the thought amusing. Him making Jack fancy mocktails every time he actually goes to the bar as opposed to having teammates slide him drinks is an ongoing team joke for *years* and he still does it every once in a while to tease Jack. He used to play in high school/casually with his friends/maybe still plays rec league and there are pics of bb!him in a Sabres onesie.)

Instagram is *super* confused. So are big contingents of r/hockey and assorted other hockey fan sites.

McDavid's one of the first NHLers to make positive statements on the record, and he's definitely the biggest name to venture an opinion. (The "congratulations" text later is private.) Because you know *somebody* even a few years down the line would be looking at him for a reaction first maybe even over his team.

The Sabres' front office response boils down to "Congratulations to Jack and OMC. This changes exactly nothing hockey-wise so please quit asking us about our players' personal lives unless they actually affect their game which this does not." (Like I'm thinking couple years down the road so Jack's probably at least an A by now and *maybe* even has the C, which doesn't change. It helps a lot with short-term public reaction that Eichel goes on a points tear which directly corresponds to the Sabres having like a nine-game winning streak right after Eichel's announcement.)

aww, thank you nonnie.

Too bad the "feed not-fic in, get finished product out through processes that should never be discussed" machine a nonnie proposed once isn't a real thing, because I want so much bi!Eichel who's still totally a bro (just a bro who's seriously dating another bro and willing to go on the record with it).

DA

This is the fannon characterization of Eichel I really hope takes off tbh. I love his bro-ness so much especially because I feel like he makes it work without being too much of douche. The perfect broatio if you will

I think "broatio" is my new favorite word.

Yesss he honestly reminds me of all of my sister's friends or boyfriends that I want to hate on principle, but are actually pretty decent humans.

(this recent tumblr post also reminded me of my sister's friends/BFs: http://40.media.tumblr.com/fba077b4d076c00b32a20cd04dd87633/tumblr_ntndtfBVJj1srwt5wo1_1280.jpg)
