every time my hockey team disappoints me, i distract myself by finding a new bit to commit to.

the headspace I’ll be in while live tweeting the rangers season opener

Behold, the cuck commentary desk

[gabby ⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ @vegasvix_]

this is how I’m gonna need the first 2 weeks of the nhl broadcasts to look bc I can’t remember who or what got traded

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

@SchneidsShuttle this is so sweet. 🥹

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

“i guess i just hoped one of those bits would eventually commit to me too, ya know?”

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

@J5_Wilshy I fear I created an even more risqué handle.

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

yall got any good ideas for usernames for me? gunna rebrand the account back to focus on rangers content.

it took me weeks to pick “blueshirt blonde” and thats no longer an option for what should be obvious reasons.

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

after hours of work, ive decided on my new handle.

it is not only the best pun ive ever written- but honestly it may be the best hockey pun ever written by anyone.

non zero chance it may also get me kicked off this app. guess we’ll see!

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

@J5_Wilshy truly it’s a crime I can’t use the ones I’ve come up with. BarDown_AssUp would be ICONIC

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

someone out there needs to make their handle “spamrosen” which is the best idea ive had but doesn’t feel quite me.

@01RedZ28 Oh that’s very good

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

@Wiccasan I love a pun.

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

@J5_Wilshy lmao whats funny is i posted this bc risque puns are all i could come up with by myself. 🤣

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

@_Ortiz33 @StatBoy_Steven First of all HI I MISSED YOU GUYS!!

Second of all… okay that actually slaps. Not shocked an idea like that came from some of my day ones on here

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

@METSfan_256 i was blonde my whole life and im struggling to shed that part of my identity. i still feel blonde. my brunette journey is so new i don’t feel right claiming to understand the full experience

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

@ourbestieshesty MISSED YOUUUU

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

maybe now we can all laugh about the fact that my hiatus from twitter last season was bc I was working at msg during last hockey season.

anyway im sure its just a coincidence the team spiraled into chaos while i was there, versus me being like cursed ya know?

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

@MPermass1982 thank you!

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

my relationship with the rangers is uniquely toxic bc my parents met at a ranger game.

no matter how sad or angry or disappointed I get by this team, i am also aware that without them, I am literally never born.

I only exist bc they do.

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

@taypaigewhite oh girl you need a hug. im sorry you didnt get to watch the 94 cup win. but in a way you were there in spirit? my logic may be flawex

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

@harleygusgus oh these sound like good ideas to keep in my back pocket for later in the season

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

damnit, two games in and i know too many of our new players names already. this throws a massive wrench into my efforts to avoid emotional attachment to this team.

Anyone have tips for building some emotional walls real quick? Avoidant men this is your time to shine!

[nikki. @BarDowntoPuck]

change of plans: to prevent any emotional investment in this season, i will assign each player to represent one of my exes based on vibes.

as of now, im short a few dozen exes. so the rest will be assigned to random people from my past that i consider to be unsavory.

[UKErangers @J5_Wilshy]

@Big_Nikk_Energy Pretend you dated (insert player name here). Things were going great until you took this trip to Vermont. He showed off the emotional range of a carrot, he’s moody, and he made a pass at the hostess at the bead and breakfast… and you still have r more days together.
