- How can you not be romantic about sports?
- Pittsburgh Penguins, tbh
- Snark aside, finally sat down and watched it today. It’s really, really good.
- The Buffalo Sabres...actually good? Yeah, not a typo, and that's who the Penguins will play tonight before the Olympic break. @hunterhodies.bsky.social and I get you set for the game, talk about the lineup changes, and more. Come hang out: youtu.be/kFyAR5BjYRY?...
- Welp, enjoy one more year of Paul Skenes! Those picks and prospects are gonna SLAP!
- When the Penguins return from the Olympic break they will play 19 games from February 26-March 31. 15 of those 19 games will be against teams who, as of today, are in playoff position. Enjoy the Olympics, because it’s going to get VERY real when we come back.
- I said it during the 4th last year: I’m tired of these assholes monopolizing and acting like they own patriotism. They don’t. They’re the antithesis of it. I love my country the way an adult loves another adult; I recognize the flaws and want to make them better. That’s patriotism.

- Reposted by Patrick DampI get this, but here's where I'm at: Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us. Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.

- Today I learned that former Steelers kicker Shaun Suisham runs the Penguins Elite girls hockey program. Not sure what to do with this information, just reporting it.
- Alex Carpenter, star of my NHL26 HUT team, with an elite tip-in on the power play.

- Thinking about making some jokes on Bluesky. Perhaps indulging in some whimsy, as well.
- Reposted by Patrick DampBluesky is that special place where someone will take time out from serialposting about how ICE can never defeat one mid sized midwesern city to post about how ICE is going to commandeer every voting booth in the US and all is lost
- The Pirates find themselves in a really shit situation. They very well may could’ve tendered offers to all these free agents, but given their history, no one believes them AND on top of that, given their history also a very real chance these players do not want to go to Pittsburgh.

- Reposted by Patrick Dampone of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

- Reposted by Patrick DampToo many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.
- You ready for maybe my most impassioned and unhinged rant in my history on Locked On? @hunterhodies.bsky.social certainly wasn’t. The uncalled spear was bullshit. Listen and tell me you agree or I’m stupid: youtu.be/2AnRzP7nSSs?...
