Well, it'd make sense if he used WhatsApp in general, since it's an easy way to communicate internationally without additional fees or hassles and one of the easiest ways to have group chats that include both iphones and Android phones, but she may still have been deflecting.

I don't think so I expect a 7 games series.

I expected a six game series the other direction. But I do think the Pens are going to blow it.

With the way the series has gone so far, I feel like the most poetic way for this game to end would be a Boyle hat trick sending them into an OT that lasts less than a minute.

The Bolts have played so shittily all game (/series) I'll probably faint from shock if they win, but I don't think they will.

nayrt They also keep forgetting how to play defense in the last minutes. Might be why they may end up losing the series.

I think they've kind of forgotten how to play defense in general, lol. I know the big excuse of Bolts fans (I am one, just not one that 100% believes this particular theory) is that Bishop helps out the defense much more than Vasilevskiy does in terms of puck handling and clearing the zone and that's throwing them off, but regardless something has been seriously off this series and at this point I'm kind of hoping that if they lose Yzerman will work some magic to get a defense that doesn't rely entirely on the goalie to bail them out. That's my little ray of hope.

I still follow a Hawks blog on tumblr, because they were one of the very first people I followed when I signed up, back before either of us even watched hockey and I have trouble letting go of things. The past couple months they've been reblogging a bunch of Toews' twitterings and, honestly, I am 95% sure that the Blackhawks just hired someone to tweet for him, following him around to public events, sightings, etc, because it reads EXACTLY like fanon Jonny from fic. The hockey robot-Kaner-my-hero-awkward-thanking is entirely like I'm reading a fake twitter.

That hadn't occurred to me, but now that you mention it, it does make sense. That twitter is just so weird. And maybe this is way to cynical of me, but it was really nice timing for the Hawks to have their most popular, marketable, likable (by the general public) player join twitter...

All the tweets I see on my dash are so #onbrand for fic!Toews that it confuses me because I always (bitterly, I ADMIT IT) assumed he was a huge douche irl??? Like obviously he still could be and your theory could be correct but making dad/old man jokes about himself? lying about being out of shape? I'M VERY RELUCTANTLY CHARMED AND I HATE IT.

I mean, even if it is him it isn't really 'him' either most likely? Like would he really be a big duechebag on twitter, especially in today's climate?

Between Carle who is just plain out bad and Stralman who looks like his injury made him forgot how to play. It's an interesting mess.

If they relied on goaltender playing the puck then they should start teaching Vasilevskiy that in the off season. Because they are not adapting to the two different goaltenders style as far as I can tell.

Would Tampa play Bishop in game 7 if he can play?

Yeah, also "charming" and "huge douchebag" are by no means mutually exclusive.

no no no of course not, but this is one of the first glimpses I've had of what he's really like, as somebody who doesn't follow the Hawks and I'm surprised how close it is to fic Toews. I didn't think he would be rude on twitter or anything but if I had to guess I would have thought it would have been more sponsored tweets and typical shit like that, I wasn't expecting his real (?) personality.

I HATE MATT CARLE. Stralman is usually better but him playing weak really exposes how much of the defense is just him and Hedman (who also seems off) so when none of it's clicking the holes (Matt Carle) are much more apparent. At this point, assuming we get eliminated, I'll be mad if Yzerman DOESN'T do something to shore up the defense. Plz Stevie Y, Plz.

I think their current strategy with Vasilevskiy is to let him develop into his own and not try to make him copy Bishop too much, because he doesn't do it well. Which makes sense, but apparently nobody bothered to tell the defense that!!

And as for Bishop, idk. I kind of think no because he played hurt in the SCF last year and we all know how that went (like this!). He would really have to be at 100%. Vasilevskiy isn't the issue here, and I think Cooper knows that.

See that's why it seems like it's fake- his fanon personality is taken from the few facts fans know of him (he's a relatively private player) so we don't know much about him. That's why the twitter seems suspicious because there is no way the personalities match (especially with all the rumors and stuff surrounding him and his lifestyle)

Yeah, the more I think about it the more it would make sense for it to be PR. So many player twitters nowadays are just sponsored tweets and occasionally a random picture to show that they're not just a robot, because I think they were all collectively told that the best twitter strategy is saying it best by saying nothing at all. His is kind of too perfectly crafted in terms of personality/sponsored/interacting with teammate balance for it to be organic. But idk, maybe he really does make the tweets but it seems like somebody who's "new to social media" doesn't randomly get that lucky right off the bat in terms of knowing what to tweet and how to get broad appeal.

Honestly I kind of hope his mom is running it. At one point I think she did most of his personal PR stuff (there's a hilarious exchange on one of his cup days where someone asks him where they're going next and he says "uhhhh, you'll have to ask my mom"
