Thanks for letting us know.

I am working on something, but this week has been less productive than I hoped so an extra week is good news for me.

Yeah, instead Matthews got that he would have been a solid number three behind them if he'd been born a couple days earlier. I know hockey fandom in general has a short memory and Buffalo's a shithole, but I'm still kind of shocked how quick people are to toss Eichel away. He would be incredibly easy to market. Like, blue collar white boys proving everybody wrong is the narrative. It might be less interesting than Matthews' white upper middle class family getting him into hockey the Mexican from Arizona TM, but people eat it up time and time again. Cliche because it works, know your audience, etc.

I think that non-casual hockey fans forget that there being a small amount of players who are of color and/or from below the 40th parallel is little more than a fun fact to fans who aren't attached to indicators of the game's growth.

I think that non-casual hockey fans forget that there being a small amount of players who are of color and/or from below the 40th parallel is little more than a fun fact to fans who aren't attached to indicators of the game's growth.

But... this is a total misunderstanding of what Matthews' potential appeal to new/casual fans is? that ironically is colored by non-casual/rpf fandom? No one thinks Matthews will help "grow the game" because the average casual is really invested in POC representation in sports or in the development of non-traditional markets. But hockey's main audience is currently primarily white people in certain geographical areas. Logically, a way to grow the game and increase viewership is obviously to appeal to demographics that have traditionally not been interested in hockey. People will watch an athlete and watch a sport they might not otherwise have cared about because a player is from where they're from, or shares an ethnicity or nationality with them. I've experienced this firsthand in my family, and seen it happen on a large scale in other sports, too. I do think people in this thread have been overstating Matthews' marketing importance, and understating Eichel's (no, it is not true that Boston "might as well be Canada"), but... just because you think that Matthews being "the Mexican from Arizona TM" is something to be derided and insufficiently worthy of interest because he's white and middle class doesn't change the fact that it will mean something to some Mexicans that he is Mexican, and something to Latinxs that he is Latino, and something to the Southwest that he is from there.

Color me unsurprised.

Where is that anon again who thought "mostly young" would outweigh "mostly white" and "rich" and "steeped in misogynistic culture" in NHL players so that, if they're voting, they probably won't be voting Trump??

Matt Murray

Murray, who wasn’t born when the Penguins captured their first two titles in 1991 and 1992, on Tuesday shared that dream with thousands from his hometown of Thunder Bay, spending part of his day with the Stanley Cup at a public ceremony held in the cramped quarters of the Intercity Shopping Centre’s promotion’s court.

It’s a dream come true, said Murray, who also took the Cup to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre for an afternoon visit with patients before hosting private celebrations with family and friends.


article with 18 pictures: https://www.sootoday.com/local-sports/matt-murray-brings-the-stanley-cup-home-20-photos-340396

It was a special treat for patients and staff alike, said the hospital’s Rhonda Crocker-Ellacott, executive vice-president of patient services and chief nurse executive.

The 22-year-old Murray was more than generous with his time, touring sections of the hospital before hosting a 60-minute meet-and-greet where patients and staff could have a picture taken or an autograph signed.

Crocker-Ellacott, whose son MacKenzie Blackwood is also a goaltender and last year was a second-round pick of the New Jersey Devils, said a lot of the hospital’s patients simply aren’t mobile enough to make it out to any of the public celebrations.

“For Matt to understand how valuable that is to our patients and to share some of his day is just spectacular,” she said.

“We had him down in child and adolescent mental health to spend some time with our children. He’s spent time with one of our patients in intensive care on a ventilator. These are individuals who would not otherwise experience meeting Matt today and seeing the Stanley Cup.”

I'm not surprised either, but this one's almost worse imo because Domi the Canadian can't even vote in this election.

Neal is also Canadian? He's the one who kicked off this meme's rounding up of Trump supporters.

But while I'm here, I should say that Ryan Whitney, Hal Gill, Ryan Suter, Mike Fisher & Bobby Ryan demonstrably all have conservative politics and if they're American - tbh I don't know if any but Ryan are off the top of my head, and I am too lazy to check - then I assume they're all voting Trump.

I'm sorting through my hockey pics folder and I found this, Brenden Dillon in a snow white costume.

Seriously, whats with hockey players and cross-dressing?

OK, how weird will it be if I say this is the first time I've ever found Brenden Dillon wildly attractive? The shoes are kinda wrecking it but also kinda not...like he's just so tired and those high heels hurt so much and he just had to slip his sneakers on just for a few minutes while he sneaks away for a drink and a sit down.

That's just such a great photo. His face, his posture, the framing, the location, the outfit... There are a LOT of potential stories in this picture.

ia, and his hair is also perfect as snow white in that one.

I didn't mean to sound completely dismissive of Matthews' background, as it is pretty damn similar to my own, but having that experience also makes me doubtful of the extent of his impact. He's far from nothing, but race and class are far from insignificant if we're talking about how relatable the Latinx population at large is going to find Matthews, especially since it's not just a matter of him being white-passing (like, I get judged as not a real Latina for my father coming from a place that has a heavy white Hispanic population, even though me and him are both Very Not White).

It's really cool that someone has had such an impact on your family and another sport, but I've gotten such an overwhelming amount of "K, that's nice, please stop talking about your white nonsense," from my own community that I find it really hard to imagine us making a significant inpact on rankings, and as a result (mostly non-Latinx, as far I can tell) people's response Matthews keeps striking me simplistic to a fault. But I also don't have the full power of mass media behind me.

People on this thread also seem to be ignoring that sports aren't happening in a vacuum. Even in traditional, good hockey markets you're competing with baseball, basketball, football.

Why is it worse? I'm thinking "well, whatever, he can't vote for Trump anyway"

Yeah, the composition and everything makes it look like professional art photography.

No one was saying that? They were saying you couldn't assume all the hockey players were likely Trump supporters.

I do wonder if "conservative" and "Trump voter" can really be equated, though. I know a lot of religious conservatives who are just planning on staying home on election day because they won't vote Dem but they hate Trump.
