Thank you!! The JSchultz story fits nicely into the half-written-maybe-I'll-write-some-tonight JSchultz kinkmeme fill I'm writing where Phil and Justin bond over coming from Canadian markets where people said mean things about them.

I know PKane is meme verboten but I do love the story about Kane and Sharp and their man-crushes on Phil in Sochi.

And uh. I guess recycling is important?? That makes me laugh.

That sounds so sweet!! I love how happy JSchultz seems playing for the Pens.

In case you'd care for it, here's the Kane quote. It's not much: "Phil’s a good man. It’s too bad people don’t give him the credit he deserves. He’d do anything for you." Obviously there can't be a moratorium on reporting about Kane, but it annoyed me here because its inclusion in the column is so random, and seemed to automatically assume we all care (or should care) about what Kane thinks. ("You should hear Patrick Kane talk about him," says Yohe.) And the quote just isn't that interesting.

And man. Yohe wonders why people hate Crosby and then he writes drivel like that. Sid saving the earth!!

JSchultz had a super cute quote last night about how it's almost summer and he's still playing hockey and that hasn't happened in a while. As primarily an Oilers fan who comes by her Pens fandom because of Geno I'm honestly just so glad that JSchultz is happier. It was So. Bad. at the end in Edmonton and so many fans are still so sour on him. I'm just glad he's out of that environment.

I feel like more than anything it's like an earth shatteringly boring PKane quote. Like there's an entire story about his epic crush on Phil. And that's the quote you end up with??

Chris Johnson did a podcast with Wysh earlier his week and in about a minute and a half HE had way better stories than that about Sid. My god. (That said. I might be bias. I do love me some Chris Johnson)

I'm so glad there are Oilers fans (or at least one) who likes him!! He seems so sweet, and it makes me saying when fans have so much vitriol for players who just aren't good (or aren't playing well).

Ha! Well, Yohe said he got the quote in January (presumably when the Pens played the Hawks). But yeah, it's just... why go out of your way to mention PKane for the sake of such an incredibly boring quote?

Ahhh, do you remember any of the specific stories? I'd love to know if it's anything new!

I'm kind of not surprised that he and Phil bonded because Justin is also super shy. His early interviews with the Oilers were PAIIIIIINFUL. He just couldn't talk about himself, or answer questions with any more than 2 word answers. And the Oilers media didn't do him any favors either [Toronto-style]. As far as fans - I had to mute like half my twitter because there were so many Oilers fans who are like "Justin Schultz doesn't deserve this, wank, wank, wank"

Chris and Wysh were basically talking about whether or not Sid knows about all the "narrative" that surrounds him as far as all the horrible articles everyone wrote when the Pens were down 3-2 and I guess Chris knows Sid a little and just talked about how smart and well-read Sid is and of course he knows what people write about him, but so much of it is crazy off-base [especially within the Pittsburgh media]. Then he talked about when you get him out of his Captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins element he has a lot of opinions on politics and can basically talk about anything you want to talk about. I just thought it was really interesting because Sid's pretty careful about not going off message too far and it's nice to hear that he has untold depths?? That's a little too far probably, but just nice to hear something past the usual Sid-cliches.

I know it's not likely, but I hope deep in my heart that Sid is a rabid Trudeau fanboy or is secretly super into US politics and sneaks into Bernie rallies undercover or something.

He's from Eastern Canada so there's a decent enough chance he'd vote Liberal as opposed to Conservative. MacKinnon likes Trudeau IIRC from some of his old tweets so it's not too far outside of the realm of possibility.

da

He seems so happy to be here, where he's getting a clearly defined role and not too many minutes. He talks about being so much more confident and about people having confidence in him, and just, that poor dude. And now with Daley out, he's getting some time on the top power play unit!

I know he had a lot of bad performances up in Edmonton, but I hope getting more instruction and under more realistic expectations, he'll turn out to be a good fit for us. At the very least he seems to be higher up the totem pole than Pouliot, however the crap that happened.
