1) i seriously need to stop posting on tumblr
2) my brain has been complete mush these past few days... T__T i have non-sports posts i want to make on main but i'm too lazy atm and also i lost my draft for my very elaborate gbbo/jbo post which i don't think i can ever recover emotionally from ๐Ÿ’”
3) this was supposed to be a pre-season post but now it is just a normal-season post because bahrain already happened ;__; and i'm watching the f2 sprint race... and CARLOS SAINZ HAS APPENDICITIS.......... GIRL HELP.

one last oscar post before starszn begins anew... (โ† i wrote this as the opening and then did not finish this post in time lol typical. tbf is it ever really starszn until rh24 is leading the zone entry on our fuck ass power play!) i'm truly so tired of everything all the time and idk how much energy i'll have to gif things for a while but i will probably get back into meandering hockeyposting at some point soon enough... ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ can't believe we've started off with an 8-1 oils thrashing + bboeser return to form.

anyway i wanted to write this post because despite having shared endless thoughts re: oscar and/or my unfortunate level of investment in mclaren's continued success, i feel like i haven't written a truly objective overview of his performance this season or factually summarized all of my analyses in one area. i revisit my anticipatory 2k23! post somewhat frequently since it contains thorough-ish amounts of investigation into my belief in mclaren's organizational structure and oscar's potential fit onto the team and i thought it would be worth it to attempt a new retrospective now that 17 race weekends (and one essentially historic developmental jump as far as modern regs go...) have come to pass.

this is 9.4k words long )

i was going to do a little deep dive/look back on my quinn4c thoughts but i'm so tired and i feel exceedingly stupid about everything so it's whatever. i think by april he was already the consensus fan favorite and it was inevitable that he'd get appointed/it became a question of when not if so by then i was like ok i'll stop talking about this and in fact i really do not care anymore... but i was really out there in jan/feb writing my daily lil thinkpieces huh

checked out of hockey pretty hard at the start of the final mostly because of real life but also because i didn't feel strongly about the matchup either way and it was abundantly clear vegas would win. the better team always prevails and the cats never stood a chance. as much as it irritates me to think that the stars put up the best fight (starsoomfirl was like That Should Be Us but at least we won 2 and lost 2 in ot, likeee what kind of empty ass victory is being able to say you were the only team to take vgk to 6 lol) it's at least kind of funny that two south florida teams beat boston in uniquely embarrassing ways and then followed the same script to championship defeat. also i genuinely don't have anything for or against vegas other than the usual specialized judgments everyone is privy to for 1-2 players on any team so it's kind of hard to peddle the same vitriol everyone seemed to experience at the behest of matthew clutchuk. anyway

finally got ted lasso over with (horrible show) and then also finished jury duty (lovely sweet touching finale) so at least we're making progress somewhere in life. i'm already looking forward to next year but just....... idk. unrelated to hockey i kind of wish i were going to the gp this weekend because it actually would have worked out and i constantly want to visit montreal in general (crying) but regardless i am most excited for * with beloved wisa and i hope i'll be able to fulfill my desire to watch a home game soon but we'llll see lol. weird to think i was so resigned to having to leave * forever and was like great now i have to watch fucking * hockey instead, not that there's THAT much of a difference as far as i'm concerned, but honestly who even knows at this point. either way i'm looking forward to more stars games and i'll make it work in whatever painless way i can :')

feeling so crazy and tired but also normal i guess... lichrally everyone keeps trying to tell me how to live my life or how i should feel about the direction in which i am taking my life and it's like bro i am trying my best. but even if things are constantly weird and inscrutable i am putting in the effort to trust the process and that's the most i can ask from myself at this point really.

2 weeks until the draft and then the whirlwind of ufa season. we WILL get through it the fun is yet to come ๐Ÿ˜Œ

may 26 already!?!?

anyway i was having a really hard time and i in fact continue to be having a really hard time but it's a little less bad in this exact moment so i will take advantage of my 5-second window of normalcy to engage in some Reflection and Updates without hopefully sounding too insane.

ok apologies for previous insanity... T__T this is not going to be a real post either but i should try to preview this series with a bit more clarity

vgk are not a team i'm confident we can go down 1-0 and rebound easily against, especially considering the circumstances of the other ot losses. i'm not sure whether the fact that miro was especially bad tonight is something to worry about (long minutes and fatigue finally accumulating?) or something to... believe in? because it's nice to see wyatt was getting dangerous looks and that top line all collectively showed up, because it's like ok if we can just get miro back to standard and have a bit of depth scoring we'll be more generally sound, but i also umm fell asleep in the 3rd period because i've been feeling so sick so i will have to review the matchup some more later lol <3

quest for the stanley cup ep2 KILLED ME i was so pissed that ep1 had literally 0 stars content because it tried to split coverage of all the other 6 teams pretty evenly and then the sea-dal portion was entirely about seattle like girl wtf. i have been very much enjoying what ContentTM we have been offered although the espn broadcast is literally like the most unbearable thing ever
