I love hockey (the New York Islanders), iced tea, hot coffee, and my five kids. I’m almost always listening to an audiobook or a podcast. Born and raised in Kentucky and now we have fifteen acres of woods in north-central Wisconsin.

Connor McDavid’s Edmonton Oilers are having a truly terrible roadtrip.

Husband leaves town and immediately I’m hunched over the kitchen island, eating the leftover scraggles of Annie’s mac and cheese directly out of the pan like some kind of Tolkien creature. Nineteen almost twenty years of motherhood, et al.

First time I’ve ever cheered for a Jake Guentzel goal in my life.

Okay, that’s enough. We need the Tkachukle-fucks to win this damn game. No one needs Bagel or Caillou.

I am never more American than when a bunch of balding dummies with knives on their feet deliver an absolute beatdown in a meaningless international tournament.

I can’t decide which is my favorite part: Auston Matthews as American Jesus or giving McDavid a literal pile of leaves.

At a hockey bar in St. Paul, Minnesota waiting on a massive winter storm and hoping it won’t interfere with me seeing the New York Islanders play tomorrow. The true Midwest in February experience.

I have five teens—one in his second year of college, two high-schoolers, and two middle schoolers. I try to listen and engage with them and what they’re experiencing. And there is a sense of divisive radicalization that I think is being woefully underestimated. They will break the system and smile.

The bone-deep hatred that the younger gens feel for the older ones is the real tsunami of discontent headed our way. But sure, I hope all of ::gestures broadly:: this was worth it!

Undefeated since signing Tony DeAngelo, I just…I think I’m speechless. Bo assist! Next Saturday I get to see him in person.

The Canucks chose signing JT Miller over Horvat (who was both their captain and good friends with EP40, the actual superstar they needed to keep happy) just to trade him to the Rangers. What was the point? And lol to the Rangers. What the hell is Drury doing.

Two games in a row with an Isles game commentated by Ryan Callahan, the universe is just determined to grind me into dust.

I don’t really have anything more to add to the discourse re: the crash. It’s awful and I hope the families can have the space to grieve and heal. But when you’re in charge, you bear the responsibility. Biden owned the Afghanistan withdrawal and the East Palestine derailment and DJT owns this.

Eggs at Aldi are now over $5 a dozen. January 2nd (the last time I ordered eggs since I mostly buy local ones and just keep an extra dozen on hand for baking) they were almost a dollar cheaper.

The Rangers giving up the GWG with 15 seconds left is truly inspired, positively Islanders’-esque
