16: A Normal Time for Ice Cream

(August 21, 2022) It's the World Juniors 2022 special! To celebrate, we play our very first game, indulge in a lot of music discourse, and opine on the state of the Flyers. Gather round, y'all. We love our horse girls here. Links in the Notes

Avs Stanley Cup Tour

• It’s not an Avs party unless someone plays All The Small Things. (Darcy Kuemper)
• Erik Johnson names a horse after Cale. 
• Cale shows the Cup to grandma. Do we joke about the feet pic?
• Cogliano and Landy in a horse drawn carriage for Nate’s cup day. 

Representation station

• Joel Martin Head Coach of Kalamazoo Wings. 2nd black HC

World Juniors

• The return of Ivan Ivan. Why this name?
• Connor Bedard is ridiculous (and kind of a little shit). 
• Luke Hughes is the best Hughes. And playing injured. Did we learn nothing from Draisaitl?
• Kent Johnson Michigan goal. That’s what they teach you in Michigan. 
• The Latvia ice cream saga. Making the quarter finals. Martin Lavins video. Our very own Puff actually offered to get them ice cream
• Thomas Bordeleau, mama’s boy.  
• Scoring leaders after prelims (aka Luke Hughes and Bordy fangirling for US, McTavish for Canada)
• Mason McTavish dick trick. Reminder of what the lore is for calling it that
• Goal songs. Ranking?
• McTavish came so close to breaking records. 
• KJ fake slapper to McT one timer. Hot damn. 
• Gold medal game goes to OT. McTavish for Vezina. KJ golden goal. 
• KJ and Bedard play 3 on 3 every Sunday.
• Bedard “shit himself”? Good interviews.
• Narratives of Dylan Garand and Devon Levi. The promise to get the gold this time.  

Social media/off the ice: 

• Shattenkirk tells all. Trevor Zegras gossip. 
• Johnny Gaudreau wants Chuck Fletcher fired. Just like Jess and Iris. 
• Nick Suzuki i
