I’m so glad we decided to stay home

Screenshot of NHL app, DAL 0, NYI 1. 3rd period with 15:31 to go.

Sooo, the NHL app left something out again. 🤨

Me: maybe it would be better for the Islanders to not allow their opponents to score several times before the Isles start playing.
#Isles : idk, seems to be working for us 🤷‍♀️

If asked in a non- #isles context, I would say I understand the saying “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”
When Butch Goring says it, I’m not so sure.

Not feeling well, and with the game blacked out for me, I put the radio feed on and closed my eyes. Fell asleep and had a dream the #Isles were winning.
What an unpleasant wake up 😵‍💫

I was a senior in college. I didn’t have a car or a license so I walked everywhere.
My week revolved around cool parties, beer, pancakes, hockey and Lost.

The first time I drove by myself was also the first time I ever drove on a highway or drove while it was snowing. I was terrified, but proud when I made it home. Then I knocked off a mirror scraping the side of the house pulling into the driveway. 😳

By “stopped all social media” I mostly mean obsessively watching TikToks of Ume the tapir calf, but whatever

I so effectively stopped going on Twitter that I stopped all social media. Oops.

I’ve never been so obviously one thing on this type of chart

For the first time in many years, I didn’t buy the Islanders calendar, because I do want a wall calendar and it must have cute dogs on it, and the money must go to good cause, but I don’t want to spend another year looking at any freaking Scott Mayfield or any of the rest of these goons

Merry Christmas to those who partake, here is my hottest hot take:

I hate Elf. Just cannot stand that movie at all.

Scenes from an Islanders fan household:
BF: did you see they’re up 5-2?
Me: yes. (Seconds pass) oh, 5-3
BF: well there’s not enough time left to give it away
Me: there’s always enough time with this team
(Seconds pass)

5-4
😑

But what new and depressing way will they find to blow the lead and lose? Gotta watch and find out!

In all fairness I very much expected them to lose in regulation, so I’m pretty okay with it in this case

How is my radio feed less behind than the TV usually is? I want spoilers and they don’t exist yet. 🫠

The New York ~heavy sigh~landers
That’s it. That’s the tweet. Er, skeet? Post?
#Isles

Who would have thought this literal exact same thing would happen again??

Enjoy some turkey/sorry about all the genocide!

Very Islanders of them

I’m sorry I can’t come in today, my dog is being really cute

You are cool! And we’re color twins, great minds etc etc

Wrong, it’s 330am and they did not lose. Incredible. 🥹 #Isles

My feeling is that I will fall asleep with the Islanders leading and then wake up around 2am to find out they lost.
Maybe this time I’ll be wrong!

I don’t think of my weird impulses as intrusive thoughts because they’re easily dismissed, but they do tend to be more of a “what if I chugged this beaker of chloroform” vibe than “maybe I should eat some sweets”

And there’s probably even more cismen who would lose their shit if you called their testosterone supplements and ED pills “gender affirming care”
