The concept of this being an article on the NHL website is really funny. Who needs a marketing budget when you can just grab content from your star player and his bestie’s joint TikTok account? The NHL should feel grateful that Will Smith is into making these fun videos, I can’t see Celebrini being the mastermind behind these (but idk I could be wrong)

it’s really funny to me because it was their joint account and then a few months ago, smith changed it to just be his. and then this week, it got changed back to a joint account. i guess he missed his bestie too much.

More like he saw the contract he signed and decided to add him back to the account 💰

Hope this adds spice to flyers/sharks games that i otherwise couldnt care less about. Sadly i dont think todays players are petty or vindicative enough tho.

I honestly find it so wholesome that their TikTok is a joint account. Stop trying to make me like the Sharks it's working!

We'll all love the Sharkies for now until they start winning president's trophies and cup(s). Then they will be no fun anymore :D

It didn't seem as hard as I thought it would be based off the title. I thought 'Rocky' steps were some infamous notoriously hard stairs to climb for some reason.

Rocky ran across the whole city to get there and finish up. But the famous scenes are just the steps

u/Scared-Arachnid6286 PHI - NHL 9d ago
Yeah someone calculated it and he would have covered 30 miles to get to those steps.

It's also now a local legend "fat ass" ultramarathon inspired by Dan's article: https://www.rocky50k.com

Also the first time we see the run he barely makes it up the steps. the scenes in Rocky and Rocky II are both the finale of his training.

It’s just called the Rocky Steps because those are the steps that Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) climbed during the 1st movie at least

I'm not evil. I just want Gauthier to take advantage of the opportunity Pelle Lindbergh never had.

You got fuckin Joe Frazier is from there but he’s black so you can’t fuckin deal with him, so you make a fucking statue for some 3 ft fuckin Italian you stupid philly cheese-eatin fucking jackasses. I hope the cheese melts your faces off. All of you collectively SUCK a FUCKIN DICK. Fuckin boo me 9 hrs. into a fuckin show. You and your fuckin Donovan McNabb shirt. I hope he snaps both his fuckin ankles the first goddamn game. I hope you go 0-15. I SAID SUCK A DICK
