some ramblings about the night of assists bc I don’t want to forget these little things 😍

sidney: just exceptionally pretty close up in person; thighs just exceptionally massive up close in person (cue even the dudebros behind me gushing over how big they were); apparently inherently lucky bc all three times I witnessed him place someone’s bet for them when asked, they won; not above cheating nudging the wheel to keep spinning later in the night if it wasn’t working out for people; braces (hot - should wear more often) but no hat (sad)

geno: in fine form; BIG hands, very deft; his face is just so expressive all the time, it’s delightful; no hat or braces (sad) but still effortlessly hot

tanger: still holding court at his blackjack table after everyone else was done; wonderfully judgemental, loud and dramatic over people’s choices; sent pojo to find him another drink when his was empty; braces and hat (👌)

pojo: so cute! kept trying to send the ball the wrong way at the roulette wheel; did not seem to mind in the slightest kappy telling him what to do whilst gently mocking him for it; was dancing to the street band at the end of the night & just generally having a fun time; braces and hat (good boy)

kappy: in his element; bossing pojo around; no braces or hat (boo)

dumo: is Not Good at mental maths bless him and checked every hand with us before paying out; gave me a $25 chip instead of a $5 at one point - tbf the lighting was low lol - and was just like ehhhhh keep it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯; says london reminds him of dc apparently; hat but no braces (“looked a bit amish” according to my friend)

jake: saw sid cheating helping by nudging the wheel and decided that meant he could too but much more blatantly; not above just spinning the whole thing again; generous with the payouts; sparkly braces but no hat (looked cute)

jason & rusty: did not seem to know the rules (not sure anyone did); had a very fond little lovers spat about it; jason mostly pleased they gave him the little stick you use to push things around with; hit himself in the head with it at one point; jason wearing his special velvet shoes again, rusty rocking a hat & beads combo, both wearing braces (nice job boys)

tristan: sweet boy, sweet smile; braces and hat (excellent fit in general)

dan potash: delightful; apologised that I’d witnessed two losses so far this trip; dismissed several hall of famers with a hand wave when talking about how good sid is; taller than expected; glittery waistcoat & hat, excellent shoes (a+ outfit choices all round)

sully: seen briefly, looked hot; regular suit, no hat (I would have liked to see it tbh)

burkie: seen briefly; giant beads instead of the open tie round his neck

r-hex: not seen, just as well tbqh

“Sid was my favourite player growing up and we’re buddies, and it’s always fun to play against him. He’s a little bit more serious than most of the buddies I play against. You usually can talk to your friends, but he’s all business on the ice… I just said, ‘Hey,’ and he looked at me and ignored me. He’s pretty serious, but that’s okay. I don’t know if he’s mad at me or what. I’ll have to see.”

ngl I think it would be fun if the nhl gave specific players like a secret independent mission to complete during the all star weekend that they have to discreetly carry out for bonus points. jack hughes has to get mcdavid to compliment his edgework, steven stamkos has to get another player to try on his jersey, dylan larkin has to get five separate mascots to fistfight him. i think it could grow the game

Baseball’s always another sport I liked to play growing up (x).

“87 Right Skate First / 71 Left Skate First”

#they do this so their skates can kiss in the middle #geno’s left skate… sid’s right skate… *metallic muah*

just rediscovered this article and the line “He’s not built to run” always takes me the fuck out, so I’m already winded and wheezing when I get hit with “You’d see him and think he was a normal kid. Then he’d turn around.”

And while we’re talking about ice, I think it only polite to appoint today as “Sidney Crosby Bum Appreciation Day”. Thank you for all the hard work Sidney.
