They don’t actually care about the tattoos or the past posts, or texts. It’s the critique of Israel that they cannot stomach. Full stop
Jun 12
To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:
Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.
You won’t.
You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.
That is not who we are.
My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.
For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.
I no longer believe that.
Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.
And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.
That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.
Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.
Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.
Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?
We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.
So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.
You won’t.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.

I’ll do ya one better. If his list is really 3 teams, Yzerman should just mail him a box of tissues
Jun 8
Assuming the package for Larkin from Minnesota is Yurov Stramel 2027 1st, if I am Yzerman I call Larkin's agent and tell him that I look forward to seeing him at training camp.

This type of depth down the middle would feed families
Elliotte Friedman: Dylan Larkin has a no trade clause; if you're a rebuilding team like a San Jose or a Chicago, I would be curious...if he really wanted to do that; San Jose it's gotta be so tempting; New Jersey...does he think they're close - 32 Thoughts (6/5)

Still no

Dylan Larkin (5x$8.7M) to the Devils
Nico Hischier (sign and trade, 8x$11.5M) to the Red Wings
Somebody adds, both teams shake up their leadership groups and core after repeated disappointments. Wings get 2.5 years younger, Devils save ~$3M in cap.

The hockey media landscape is just “reporters” regurgitating the same shit over and over again
Chris Johnston: Re Simon Nemec/Devils: I think he's a piece they could...play to maybe address some other issues at forward - Chris Johnston Show (5/28)

Devils released a behind the scenes video from the war room on draft night in 2024 of Fitz and Mark Dennehy discussing picking Silayev or Konsta Helenius. Dennehy says “you got a 6’7 defenseman who can skate” on the board. I knew we were screwed if that’s the extent of evaluation
Jun 1
Devils have signed Silayev, 2024 10th overall pick. Draft position, size, and skating are huge pluses in terms of his projectability. Some big question marks around his KHL time, especially this past season when his ice time plummeted. Puck skills and hockey I.Q. might be issues.

I’d say that Vancouver being a dumpster fire had a good deal to do with him leaving also

I’m so done with the *just change the coach* mindset with this team. They don’t have a coach problem. It’s abundantly clear their problem is between the ears. A coach firing isn’t the message that needs to be sent. Get rid of a player and tell them there’s more to come if need be

Could the #NJDevils trade Nico Hischier for Quinn Hughes? With Kirill Kaprizov set to make $17M/year, the #MNWild might not be able to afford a Hughes extension.
Enter Devils GM Sunny Mehta. Would you trade Hischier, Nemec a 1st for Hughes?
