ok the important question is, are these new guys fuckin nerds? do they watch jeopardy every day and play chess at the hotel and wear dorky little ear guards and always, always remind the teacher when there’s supposed to be a quiz? I see a lot of people commenting on dubas signing young guys but I think it’s important to note that belonging to the pittsburgh penguins retirement home isn’t about your physical age ok it’s about whether you are a scrupulous rule-follower who loves practice and enjoys a quiet yet cutthroat night of board games with the boys
we found ryan graves once reading "the nickel boys" by colson whitehead. and he apparently knows way too much about his teammates' zodiac signs. though both of these WERE in colorado. but I think he's a little bit of a nerd and you just need to let that blossom in him.
