Sebby: Hey guys, I think I fell asleep.
Sebby: What did I miss?
Sebby: Did we find Cap a new boyfriend?


A long moment later. Perhaps in the wee hours of the night

Best Boston Bros No 🧢

Marly: so…
Marly: anyone want to talk about what we saw

Hammer: hollander looks fking good up close and shirtless bro
Hammer: no wonder he pulled rose landry

St. Vicky: and roz too
St. Vicky: apparently

Sebby: What the hell is going on?
Sebby: Was Miles Allen not there?

Carmy: not now rookie
Carmy: ngl first I was fcking terrified that they were both outside the back entrance… at the same time
Carmy: and then i legit thought they were fighting
Carmy: like one of them was about to get taken down
Carmy: but like in some kind of aggressively close and sexually charged way….
Carmy: I mean theyve always been weird about each other

St. Vicky: word

Hammer: but then u realized they were trying to suck each others faces off

Carmy: ugh hammer wft bro
Carmy: thats disgusting

St. Vicky: hammers right tho
St. Vicky: that was the most aggressive making out ive seen.

Hammer: bro both their backs gotta have brick burns from the walls they were pushing each other up against

St. Vicky: theyll look like theyve been mauled by a bear tomorrow

Marly: I still didnt follow exactly how they both ended up mostly without shirts

CC: dunno if thats what we should focus on
CC: but yea im still in shock that roz pulled hollzy

Sebby: HELLO?
Sebby: I think I’m seeing things again…

Marly: wait for a sec sebs we dont have time for this right now
Marly: wtfdym conny
Marly: of course if anyone in the league could pull hollander it would be our cap

St. Vicky: i thought we believed in roz

CC: cant imagine hollander getting close with anyone bad at hockey
CC: he seems like the kind of guy that believes exchanging bodily fluids with anyone worse at hockey than him will ruin his game

Carmy: uhm…
Carmy: are you saying hollanders a virgin

CC: wat

Carmy: if hollander cant fuck anyone whose worse at hockey than him

CC: im sure girls dont count
CC: hes got rose landry
CC: no ones can resist rose fucking landry bro
CC: no guys no girls no one in between
CC: unless ur one of those people who dont do sex
CC: which
CC: no shade thats cool too but hollander uhm
CC: seemed pretty into roz

Marly: wtf conny

CC: wat
CC: its true
CC: andi said so she told me and shes usually right

Marly: ok alright fine god help me

Hammer: lets be real roz makes him better at hockey
Hammer: or maybe its the other way around
Hammer: either way games are always intense when we play against montreal

St. Vicky: 🤔

Marly: youre not wrong…

Hammer: i feel less bad about losing to montreal
Hammer: does that make sense?

Carmy: no it does not make any fucking sense hammer
Carmy: but we are cool about roz right
Carmy: and hollander
Carmy: roz and hollander
Carmy: we said we love him not matter what
Carmy: no walking that back now

St. Vicky: ok i support roz in who he chooses to love or fuck
St. Vicky: love is love and all
St. Vicky: plus hollander really did him a solid
St. Vicky: after what happened with boiziau

Hammer: thats more than a solid bro
Hammer: we were all talking the big talk
Hammer: but cmon we all knew itd be hard to find someone better than boiziau

Marly: and knowing now that rozs type is good hockey players…

CC: miles allen wouldnt have worked

St. Vicky: sure but i cant get behind cheating bro
St. Vicky: not even its hollander and roz
St. Vicky: and i have hella respect for both of them

Marly: ok but rose landry landry was dancing with other people
Marly: really close
Marly: you told us that vicky

St. Vicky: fine thats true

Carmy: maybe they have an open relationship
Carmy: some people have that
Carmy: no judgement there either bro

St. Vicky: dumbass thats usually because some asshole guys want to cheat on their girls and make it sound legit

CC: hollander doesnt seem like the sort of guy that would do that

St. Vicky: do we really know anything about him tho
St. Vicky: off the ice

Marly: lets not assume the worst of anyone until we can ask roz
Marly: or maybe hollzy directly
Marly: cap doesnt have family closeby but he has us

Hammer: im happy to have a chat with hollzy

Marly: not you hammer
Marly: if its going to be anyone its me

Hammer: fine wtv you can go first
Hammer: wow i just thought of something

Marly: do not think anymore than youve already done hammer

Hammer: can you imagine if roz and hollzy had kids
Hammer: theyd the best hockey players in the league by the time theyre old enough to be draft

Carmy: not how biology works

Hammer: and you know how biology works because?

Carmy: 🖕

Sebby: Can someone please explain to me WHAT THE FUCK is happening?
Sebby: Am I still high? What did the doc give me?
Sebby: Did I die and this is the afterlife?
Sebby: Will I get to meet Gordie Howe next?

Carmy: i wish

St. Vicky: you need to deal with the rookie Marly
St. Vicky: he sounds like hes about to pass out

Marly: get off the chat sebby
Marly: im calling you as soon as we are done here
Marly: and before we all try to get some sleep before the flight
Marly: letting yall know ive emailed management to get the team signed up for inclusivity training

Hammer: wat now

Carmy: why
Carmy: i dont want more training

St. Vicky: cmon marly we already train so much

CC: you cant be serious bro
CC: why we need include training
CC: we include everyone
CC: we love roz and support him we all literally just said that

Marly: look
Marly: i dont know wft inclusivity training actually is ok
Marly: i was just looking up how to support being gay in sports ok
Marly: and people say its important to have diversity and inclusivity
Marly: it was pretty obvious we dont actually know wtf to do or how
Marly: but first we need management know the team is inclusive and diverse
Marly: we all support it and we are serious

St. Vicky: i dont know what that means

Marly: see thats why we need formal training
Marly: maybe then we know the right words to use
Marly: so we can be taken seriously
Marly: if we ever need to make a stance or wtv

CC: ok… not the worst idea youve had marly

Marly: oh fu conner

Carmy: im in

St. Vicky: 👍

Hammer: obviously we will be great at it
Hammer: like everything else
Hammer: all we do is win

Sebby: Uhm I don’t know what we are doing exactly but count me in.

Marly: alright fuckers
Marly: as your A, im telling you all to get the fuck to sleep
Marly: weve got a flight and then early on on ice practice the day after
Marly: and it goes without saying that everything discussed in this chat stays in this chat
Marly: if a word of this gets out i know where yall live

St. Vicky: and ill help hide the bodies

Hammer: copy that

CC: 🫡

Carmy: 🫡

Sebby: 🫡


Ten minutes later. Sebby waits for Marly to call him while struggling to keep himself awake

Best Boston Bros No 🧢

Sebby: Marly!
Sebby: I just tried texting you and calling but you didn’t answer.
Sebby: Is anyone awake?
Sebby: MARLY!
Sebby: VICKY! CARMY! CONNY! HAMMER!
Sebby: Please respond!
Sebby: I need to know what happened to Cap.
Sebby: And apparently Hollander.
Sebby: And the no shirt situation.
Sebby: With kissing.
Sebby: Are you guys sure that’s what happened?
Sebby: I thought we wanted to get Cap and Miles Allen together?
Sebby: And how was Rose Landry involved in all of this?
Sebby: Keep our QUEEN out of this bro that’s not ok!
Sebby: WTAF guys! I need to know the truth!
Sebby: You can’t keep me in the dark forever!
Sebby: I know your room numbers and will break down the door if necessary!
Sebby: ANSWER YOUR FUCKING PHONE MARLY!!!

I hope you loved these dumb hockey boyz as much as I did. If you want to find out more about what happened to Hammer at Ciel, just click the NEXT button. Until next time, love you all.

Crisse – Christ, a swear word in Québécois; the meaning is considered more vulgar/profane than the direct English translation.

Calisse - Chalice, a vessel that holds the wine for the Eucharist; used as a swear word in Québécois.

Gordie Howe - One of the greatest hockey players of all time. He’s probably most famously known for the Gordie Howe hattrick (a goal, an assist, and a fight in a single game), but he’s only done that twice in his 26-season career. This dude played professional hockey into his 50s, which is just wild.
