FSL Stan

All hail François St-Laurent! I'm his number one fan, ignoring every other on-ice official out there. Hit the 1000 game mark, but not done stanning yet! 🙌🏼

Folks, FSL is IN the playoffs for 2026!
His R1 G1 partner: Jake Brenk.

The NHL has a referee who was born in Connecticut (the birth state of the person running this account).

Today is the JST (the CT-born official) and FSL show.

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

LET'S FUCKING GO.

[Scouting The Refs @ScoutingTheRefs]

Referee Francois St. Laurent is back in action, officiating his first game of the season tonight at Los Angeles Kings vs. Montreal Canadiens. Tonight's crew: https://t.co/TjAfReigMK @LAKings @CanadiensMTL #GoKingsGo #GoHabsGo #LAKvsMTL #Habs #LAKings

An Islanders fan makes a desperate attempt to influence the goal review at Sharks vs. Islanders...

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

This is later by my standards. I'm fighting with my brain about other topics, but I'm trying to push them aside. The game is in just over two hours from now. WE HAVE A GAME.

[Scouting The Refs @ScoutingTheRefs]

Welcome back Francois St. Laurent #8! He's working his first game since October 21, skating at #SEAvsCAR with referee Francis Charron #6 and linesmen David Brisebois #96 and Julien Fournier #56

I kind of spoiled this last night, to be honest. You knew this was going to come. You probably didn't know which game. I showed two people the link, though. So there were three people who got the memo. WE HAVE A GAME.

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

42 days. 22 October 2024 - 2 December 2024.

Tomorrow, you all are getting the front page of game notes again. I AM EXCITED.

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

We're literally AWOL. No on-ice activity since 10/21.

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

I gave you guys a bunch of hints last night. Only fitting that I would also give you the screenshot for your evidence and the fact that... WE HAVE A GAME.

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

One game in the NHL tomorrow, as the league prepares for all teams to be in action on Tuesday.

You'll never guess who has the assignment for the lone game. Front page of the notes in the AM...

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

If this was a few seasons ago, and the "stan" of Skilliter was still on this site, we'd be dominating coverage of this game tonight. If he does come across this... WE HAVE A GAME.

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

It's been almost forever since FSL's last game (Saturday). Time to get back into it. Should be fun tonight... WE HAVE A GAME.

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

Ignore CAR/TBL. We actually have 13 games tonight. Saw this set of notes last night, though. I guess we'll be giving devoted attention to this one. WE HAVE A GAME.

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

FSL was in Pittsburgh yesterday. Here I am, thinking "yeah, he'll stay east". Checked all game notes in GMT -5 that were up. Nope. Was waiting for Ottawa's. No way he's going west, right? (Ha. I fail in Logic 101.) WE HAVE A GAME.

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

First regular-season game of the 2024-25 season for FSL. Why not have it on TNT?

[Scouting The Refs @ScoutingTheRefs]

Refs Jake Brenk #26 and Francois St. Laurent #8 work Rangers vs. Penguins with Derek Nansen #70 and Matt MacPherson #83

Usually, I'm waiting with frustration until the first set of game notes with Frankie's name on the front page. We're two days (today) into the North American season, and here you go. WE HAVE A GAME.

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

Welcome to a neutral site! Yes, this is the Kings as the home team. No, this is not being held on the west coast. Quebec City is where it's at. WE HAVE A GAME.

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

Going with the game summary screenshot this time. NHL doesn't have this up on the actual site yet. After a few days off, FSL has migrated to MTL for tonight. How to learn French? WE HAVE A GAME.

[FSL Stan @FSL8_Stan]

If Kilian Hinterdobler sounds familiar to you, Oilers and Kolner Haie in 2018 say hello. Then they will remind you that Hinterdobler worked that game on lines.

Also working that Global Series game? FSL.
