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??

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

Something in the Trump thread reminded me - the Oilers didn't renew Tyler Dellow's contract and I wonder if it's partially because he was a super-dick on his personal twitter about #BellLetsTalk day. He's really good at hockey analytics but has always seemed to be a dick in general and I wonder if it turned out he was better suited for writing a super critical blog as opposed to actually doing analytics in a professional environment.

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

Didn't he delete because the Oilers told him to? It wouldn't surprise me.

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives

Between this and the Canadiens guy, bloggers be getting unpaid. I think some teams brought on analytics folk for faddish reasons to appease their critics and had no interest in really using them as a resource.

Rous is having a busy off-season. He got married, and he and his wife are expecting a baby.

There's something about that dark wood in traditional cuts mixed with the contemporary furniture that just does not work for me at all. Also, if you're going to have walls that white, you need artwork.

Neat outdoor space, though.

Did he get divorced? Or was it the other one??

On this same vein PKane's condo is/was for sale. And I'm never going to make as much money as an NHL player. But Jesus - his view of downtown Chicago is insane.

Gallagher and Lucic are training together this summer.

http://wpmedia.theprovince.com/2016/08/png0804sgallagher-02.jpg

"He spent last summer at his home in Kelowna, but sold the place and is back living in the Delta area this off-season. He’s rejoined his old training group there, working out alongside fellow former Giants forward Lance Bouma and Brendan Gallagher under Ian Gallagher, the longtime strength and conditioning coach of the Giants."

there's a video here: http://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/lucic-hopes-form-at-end-of-oilers-deal-gets-another-contract

and Lucic played in Gallagher's charity softball game.

Sucks for Jimmy Hayes he is getting a lot of hate.
https://twitter.com/IAmJamesStewart/status/745790306109521920?lang=en

BCBruins have post some inside information for sometime. He talked about the situation with Hamilton before he was traded. Makes me wonder how long Hayes is going to last with the Bruins next season.

My first thought was "wonder if he's going to get traded at his wedding?"

Nice! Congrats to him and his wife. They looked very happy in that photo of them wearing white.

(Also, do we know if it's been in the works for a while & just kept quiet, or was there a happy surprise that bumped the wedding up?)

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives-Seguin

I know Seguin's past history with leaving Boston under less favorable terms, and the steers tweet. However, I thought things were quite for him? And that rpf wise especially he was narratively becoming a better bro? Soft bro? I'm unfamiliar with the correct bro term.

Is there something more recent? I read a lot of anon meme and suddenly Seguin is coming up as the next Kane. Is there a story I missed somewhere about new events?

Not trying to be critical if people don't like a player, just surprised it seems to be picking up without any new incidents (that I'm aware of).

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives-Seguin

[(Anonymous)]

What other anon meme is talking about Seguin?

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives-Seguin

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not a Dallas nor Boston nonnie, so I can't say definitively, but I am pretty confident that he hasn't changed much since leaving Boston. The only life lesson we know he's finally learned is to be more selective about what he puts on twitter. Dallas a much larger city that proportionally cares less about hockey (based on TV ratings, which is might be a shaky metric), so his shit is less out in the open. IMO, saying he's a Kane-level menace to society is probably in reaction to the equally extreme idea that he's actually a soft closeted fem!gay. Not to undermine the nonnies in the thread I'm assuming you read, I believe their stories, but I also like to pretend there's a difference between your average Nice Guy who get annoying after they get turned down and predatory rapists.

Re: Gossip and off-ice lives-Seguin

[(Anonymous)]

"rpf wise narratively a better soft bro" is definitely one of the most eye-rolling ways I've ever heard anyone try to make Seguin sound palatable, and it's shit like this from his fans (not any new off ice incidents that anyone's aware of) that's leading to the uptick of negative talk about him on meme. Just because someone doesn't think your boy is good-looking or thinks his fans are annoying doesn't mean he's coming up as the next Kane, ffs. And I don't think "leaving Boston under less favorable terms" is high on anyone's list of why they dislike him, not when there are so very many other reasons to choose from.
