There are hockey things on my calendar tomorrow for 7 am, 1 pm, 2 pm, 5 pm, 7 pm, and 10 pm. I'm not going to everything on the calendar, but it's still kinda dizzying!

This is just one of those things I thought of while doing my U.S. Taxes. Which is something you have to do even if you don't live in the U.S., for some stupid reason.

I wonder what the Pope’s IRS return looks like?

Deslauriers sporting the EASTON elbow pads! They haven’t made those since the early 2010’s!

Anyhow, this is me talking about it a few days ago at work… www.instagram.com/reel/DWjPBR1...

It's trans day of visibility. Remember, some of the trans people you know are uncomfortable with a lot visibility. They don't want to be friends with people who can't talk to or about them without bringing up their transness. They may even dream about a trans day of non-salience...

You ever stop and think about how, literally every single active NHL player is in the league with a guy who was in the league with a guy who was in the league with Stan Mikita, Bobby Hull, and Gordie Howe?

Yeah yeah you can skate and score and stickhandle - I wanna see what you do when somebody messes with your goalie. #hockey

If you wouldn't be on Twitter, you shouldn't subscribe to the NY Times or Washington Post, for the exact same reasons.

There’s nothing that makes me appreciate hitting and fighting in hockey more than watching competitive hockey without hitting and fighting.

I’m one of four siblings, and I’m the only one who wasn’t an NCAA athlete. Dad was offered an NCAA wrestling scholarship but got married and started working instead. I was never a “successful” athlete as a kid, but holy cow, am I head over heels for low-stakes adult recreational sports.

In my league, they mix the rosters up every year. So after a few years, you’re playing against former teammates pretty much every game. I love that…

Gotta love a night when I’m at an NHL game and still in my pajamas by 10:30 pm.

No visit to Scotiabank Arena would be complete without overhearing at least one conversation between two older Leafs fans talking about the team in the meanest, most disdainful tone imaginable.

How many Canes fans can say they were at the game when Fishy got his 300th goal *and* the game when he got his 700th point?

I met a Canes STM from Cary in the washroom. It’s her first time up here.

Man, Leaf fans hate the Leafs so much

Okay who else had a K’Andre Miller shorty on their bingo card tonight?

This has felt like the kind of game where the Captain just had to will one in.

I can’t believe they didn’t immediately retire number 81 when 2-time Stanley Cup winner Phil Kessel hung up his skates. I seriously don’t know anybody for the Leafs, but it’s weird seeing anybody in number 81.

March Break in Ontario + Lousy weather outside + Leafs are horrible right now + Matthews is out + Carolina’s fanbase is loyal but *highly* regionalized = this girl got last minute tickets to see the Canes in Toronto tonight!

“Y’all know me. Know how I earn a livin’.”

If you play hockey long enough (especially if you play defence), you’ll learn that pucks have a way of finding every little postage stamp-sized spot on your body that isn’t covered in armour. Like *this* spot, where an errant shot (or maybe a dump in?) from the point rung my bell Saturday night.

Heated Rivalry is all the rage when it’s make-believe on HBO/Crave, but in real life? My mostly-queer women’s league actually maintains a list of who has broken up with who so they don’t end up playing on the same team. 😬😆

I’ve been lucky to have several trans coworkers over the years. They have been some of my favourite people.

Yeah, and a *whole damn lot* of people supported the Civil Rights Act on everything but housing.

I will never be poly-saturated enough to stop swiping right on people who look like plus-size pinup girls. 🥵

In in a Toronto Sceptres season ticket holder Facebook group, and boy oh boy, there are way too many transphobic fans in there. Very disappointing.

So your org wants to support moms. You build a nursery and expand parental leave. You see a woman and say, “Hey! You’re a mom! We’ve got great stuff for you!” And yeah, she *is* a mom. But she’s 55. Her kids are 25 and 27 and don’t live at home. That’s how a lot of stuff for trans people feels.

There’s an old saying about mixing Church and State: it’s like mixing vanilla ice cream with manure. You can keep adding ice cream, but it’s always going to taste like shit. Related: I love hockey, but a whole lot of it is just shit right now.

With the Olympics over, Leaf fans can finally switch from hating Auston Matthews to (checks notes), a different version of hating Auston Matthews.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIXED FEELINGS?

Man, fuck Trump for ruining USA Hockey for me

Nathan MacKinnon coming up *huge* for the Canadians!

Go make chaos in front of the net, let your defenders throw shots from the point. Signed, A Defender who Likes Shooting from the Point

Wait, Sam Bennett can get a penalty for running a goalie? Is this another one of those weird IIHF rules?

Both these things are true. Hockey is complicated. It sucks to think that, if my recreational women’s hockey league were based in, say, Boston instead of Toronto, I wouldn’t be allowed to play anymore.

People from the States keep mentioning Kenny Albert’s call of the gold medal game. Sometimes I miss American hockey broadcast. But I don’t miss hearing men call women’s hockey.

Lalia Edwards receives her gold medal

Laila Edwards’ name too 🙄

Arena announcer mispronouncing Emma Maltais’ last name 😐

Silver medals being awarded after championship games is so brutal. Imagine making the team that just lost the Super Bowl stay out on the field to get individual awards to remind them they just lost.

Trying not to think about the fact that Britta Curl just got a gold medal.

Okay, let’s hope the men’s gold medal game goes the opposite way, with the Orange One in the crowd to see it happen in person.

CBC broadcasters giving a lot of credit to the Americans. “This is the best American team I’ve ever seen.” It takes a hell of a hockey team to make this U.S. women’s team look beatable.

Canada - USA in the women’s gold medal game tend to be hockey at its very best. Theoretically, the U.S. is a clearly superior team at this time. But who knows what’ll happen when they drop the puck?

Mississauga, Ontario’s Quinn Hughes with the game winner for the States in OT

Game gets tied by the captain of the Canadiens. On an assist from guy who would’ve been a Leaf if they hadn’t dealt their pick to the Canes. OT winner from ex-Leaf Mitch Marner.

Massive assist for Seth Jarvis
