* There was a Torrent Takeover Watch Party at Sports Bra yesterday. Seattle was playing Vancouver in Denver, and sadly they lost. But, it was a cool event. The organizers had bingo cards for things that might happen during the game and also handed out Hillary Knight stickers.
There were people at the event I knew, but they were gathered at one table for someone's birthday party. I think one of them was inviting me to sit with them, but I am not joining in on the birthday party of someone I don't know. Maybe it would have been chill, but I've never seen that play out chill.
* This is a wild pull:
Olympic torch bearers have numbers, and they go in order. They put in Hudson in at #87... that's Sidney Crosby's number! Whomst did this? There is no way he was accidentally given the Sidcross number. Especially since he's one of those players who is very associated with his number, it's a whole thing.
* Goaltender Brandon Bussi needs a nickname to call him by. People need to stop trying to talk about how exactly the 'u' should be pronounced and whether his name sounds exactly like Bussy. Different parts of the North America have different vowel sounds and you can't push pronunciation nuance like that because some of those vowel sounds don't actually exist in some regions. Also, AFAIK sounding exactly like Bussy is the correct one, so trying to make Booosy or whatever happen is not going to happen.
Get him a nickname, or live with hearing about people trying to get into Bussy's crease for the next ten years. There is no fixing the situation by trying to push an unusual way to pronounce a vowel.
Signed, someone with unusual vowel sounds in their birth name. West coasters cannot pronounce my birth name the way I do, they don't differentiate between those two sounds, and I never want to have another conversation about it again as long as I live.
