Narnia Dispatches would like to extend a slightly belated, but most heartfelt congratulations to Patrick Kane on an outstanding 2015-2016 season, one which resulted in him winning the most prestigious award of all, the Hart Trophy. The Hart Trophy is for most valuable player as voted on by the media. He also won the Ted Lindsay award, which is also for most valuable player to a team, as voted on by the other players.
Oh wait! Hey, there are 3 awards in that second picture, what's up with that? Oh yes, Patrick Kane also won the Art Ross Trophy, an award that goes to the NHL's top scorer! I think Mr. Kaner probably needed a forklift to haul all of that brass home, don't you think?
What I admire about Patrick's incredible evening is that he had this highly successful year with such a dramatic off-field situation going on.
Congratulations "congras", Mr. Kane. *tips hat*

Wow! Look at all those awards. I guess the boyfriend is going to have to help Patrick cart off all that heft. #FriendsWithBenefits
Btw: I caught the "congras", PG. LOL!
Wow! Look at all those awards.
He really cleaned up, didn't he. Cleaned up, dusted off, Swiffered all over the room.
Only one of the many benefits of following FlyMe is I have been greatly exposed to the world of NHL hockey. *wink* And I followed through the whole personal trial and then the way Patrick followed through with the season after the whole ordeal fell through. And he poured it on towards the end of the season and it just seemed like every time I turned around, Patrick was having a big game.
The fact that he ended up having the kind of season that he did, despite all that happened, is mind boggling.
And yes, I'm sure that Mr. Toews is quite proud of him and I don't know, maybe they had a toast with the Art Ross "goblet". LOL.
I forgot to add in the post that Patrick was the first American to win a MVP award in the NHL. That is something for him to be quite proud of.
Btw: I caught the "congras", PG. LOL!
*wink*
I think 'Congras' has become a legit tag, don't you?
Hi! I just got back from a minor league baseball game.. went 13 innings! It was fun, they put on a great fireworks show.
YAY! *rolls around in this post* I'm so proud of him. I got into hockey when I was about seven because my parents started taking my brother and I to games a few times a year- the fandom side I only got in about three years ago after discovering those two.
https://twitter.com/NickFriedell/status/748936052187037696 He was on the radio the other day and I don't follow the NBA but I know Lebron is like the best player in the game and is Patrick's favorite basketball player so to compare him to Jonny is so sweet :) and says a lot about how much he admires him.
Hey, that sounds fun, FlyMe. And you got to see some fireworks, too. That's even better!
I think Patrick overcame so much this past season and he still gets a lot of verbal abuse from fans which I have seen and it hacks me off. For him to win the MVP on a vote from all the players in the league is very impressive.
:-)
It is! And the faces of the league speak highly of him. I have learned after months of arguing to just ignore people who wouldn't know a fact if it bit them in the ass.
I think it’s amusing how Austin and his beard tried to sell the notion that they were vacationing in Tulum, Mexico on June 30 and July 1. Traveling a three hour flight to Tulum, just to post some grainy pics of them lounging on generic chairs, eating at some nondescript restaurant and biking somewhere indeterminate. Inadequately, trying to establish they were there for 48 hours before hopping on another flight and traveling seven hours to Deerfield, Wisconsin for a wedding.
LOL! Let’s get serious. Austin Nichols travels to Tulum, Mexico. The guy who loves the ocean (a true water baby) and is fascinated by architecture, yet doesn’t go to see the ancient ruins of the only Mayan city built on the coastline. Doesn’t snorkel. Doesn’t paddleboard. Doesn’t surf. Sure Jan.
Mayan Ruins
From Austin’s Crowdrise page:
“And when I moved to the coast at 18, I left all the lakes and rivers behind for the Pacific Ocean. So now I spend a lot of time surfing, paddling, snorkeling, fishing.”
From a 2009 article about Austin’s love of Marfa, Texas:
Q-If you weren't acting what do you think you'd be doing?
A-Oh that would change every week for me. Sometimes I get into different things. At one point in my life I wanted to be a golfer. I used to golf when I was young. Also I wanted to be a professional water skier. Then I wanted to be a sports announcer.
Also I've really been interested in architecture lately. I really want to buy a house and fix it up. There's this incredible artist out there that inspires me, Donald Judd. All of his work is in Marfa, TX. It's a really small town that has kept his work and the buildings that he owned all around it. The town now is really influenced by his style and it's great. I was there to check out recently with some friends and it was amazing.
They weren't pictured anywhere near the water. No doubt because they couldn't physically place Wangchols at the beach. Their pictures had to be in certain scenarios where someone could perform their photoshopping.
And if this isn't revealing, this article appears today in the Daily Fail, I mean Daily Mail. It's about the "trip" and the headlines plus the entire story is about who? Wangchols? No. It's about Paul Wesley & Phoebe TonkaTruck.
Wangchols would appear to be the friends
An excerpt:
Australian actress Phoebe Tonkin and her American boyfriend Paul Wesley first met in 2012, before they started dating in 2013.
And the pair have proved they are still going strong as they cosied up to one another during their romantic holiday in beautiful Mexico.
Phoebe, 26, shared an Instagram snap of herself posing in a bikini with her shirtless beau - the image was simply captioned, 'Jungle twins'.
The pair appear to be holidaying with a bunch of friends, with one friend sharing shots of the group to Instagram and revealing they are in Mexico.
And the pictures they included?
Night out: Paul and Phoebe are seen here at dinner with their friends
Biking the day away: Paul is seen here riding bikes with friends
LOL! I mean, what is the everliving point of carrying out that whole charade if you are not going to put your names out there? Isn't that the point of all the Instagrams and the Snapchats and the Tweets and I don't know what else. Everything but skywriting, I think.
Please, Mgmnt. Either run the whole race or have a seat in the stands where you belong.
;D
Excellent point, M&M about Austin and architecture and yet he doesn't Instagram himself seeing any of the sights while in Talcom? Instead he's supposed to be riding a bike that looks like it was built for a kid instead of a big bad boy like himself.
Man, I am having my first bad coffee from Scooters. They forgot the sea salt caramelicious flavor for one thing, but now it's all watered down and smh.
Update on another one of our OTPs. TMZ is continuing the coverage of the Babygate. I love how the ending statement is not about Louis. Not about the Babymama. Not about the "girlfriend". But, about Larry:
PART I
Louis Tomlinson, Baby Mama - Custody battle over his Girlfriend.
Dax Chat Live. 2nd July, 2016.
Louis’ story gets pride of place, and, although others are covered, through the device of viewer comments, the central “Baby Mama” story is woven through the whole 20 minute show. The words DNA and paternity test are used no less than 14 times. All the other plot points are there - jealousy, perfume, custody battle, relationship durations, nannies, money, and that Louis has done everything right. They bring up 1D’s future, Zayn and Gigi, solo Harry, and even manage to get in a couple of Larry mentions, too, and eyebrows….It is, once again, very instructive of the way this being, and will be, played.

Complete Transcript
(viewer questions in italics)
Dax: I want to get to Louis Tomlinson and…
Nikki: Danielle…Briana…
Dax: No…Briana…Briana Jungwirth, the fact that they are going after each other now…um..
Nikki: All because of…
Dax: …all because of Freddie…
Nikki: Danielle…
Dax: All because of Danielle…
Nikki: Its just a little love triangle over there…
Dax: People get so fired up about this One Direction stuff!
Nikki: Ohhhh, yeah…this is a good one…yeah
Dax: So, here’s the back story. Basically, Louis feels that…ah…that ah…Briana inconsistent with the amount of time that, ah, she allows him to spend time with Freddie, that it’s all over the place. One thing is that he wants to go to court now, he wants to get joint custody, physical, legal, custody, plus have 50/50 split time with the baby, and….so we started digging up a little bit more, to figure out why there’s so much drama here…
Nikki: Yes…
Dax: …and it’s all over Danielle….(addressing Nikki “would you like to talk?)
Nikki: Yeah, sure. So, basically Briana is upset that every time Louis has visitation with Freddie, the baby comes back smelling like perfume.
Dax: (outright laughing) …I love this…
Nikki: …which just makes no sense…
Dax: This is such a…a…jealous chick thing right here…
Nikki: It is! I mean, how long have Louis and Briana…Danielle…been dating? A year?
Dax: I don’t think it’s been a full year, has it?
Nikki: Its been longer than a night…it’s been longer than a one night stand.
Dax: It’s been longer than that, but it hasn’t been a year. It’s been a couple of months. But the funny thing is…
(this is interrupted by Charles, who wants to check that Dax’s twitter promo for this chat is in line with “the brand”. Charles gives his approval “it works”)
PART II
Dax: (resuming)…anyway…um…so what it tells me is that Briana…she’s a little…she’s jealous. I get it. It’s your kid, I’ve got children, and I’ve gotta realise that if someone else was hanging out with my kids, I feel like I would be jealous, but at the same time, I think….what better person to hang out with…is someone who actually enjoys being with you kids, and picks up your kids, and spends time with your kid, and is loving towards your child…that’s not the person I would be mad at. I would be mad at the person that is ignoring my child, that is abusive towards my child, that is just in it for the partner, not for the kid.
Nikki: Well, its like Briana has a lot of deep-rooted issues about other people caring for her child, because….can’t Louis not even have a nanny?
Dax: Well, that’s another thing. He can’t even have a nanny. It’s…it’s…weird…it’s very bizarre…
Dax: (reading viewer comments)
“None of this is real.”(Dax….. says Tori.)
“Briana has a nanny” (Dax…well…that’s…she is allowed to have a nanny…)
Nikki: She’s allowed to have one….
Dax: He’s not allowed to have a nanny because she feels that that will…it’s not good parenting…
Nikki: Right…
Dax: (indignant) How is that fair?
Nikki: It’s just weird. I mean, she…but then again, she’s the mom, so…it’s like…I feel like she…it’s like she (owns?) is up here (gesturing high and low points with her hands) and Louis kinda has no…
Dax: Here’s where it gets baffling. If he does go to court and starts battling her out, right now, he…we were told…he pays around 15,000 dollars a month in child support…
Nikki: Right…
Dax: That’s not a…that’s not a…like, per a judge. That’s like him just giving her 15,000 dollars a month in child support, plus he’s got her living in a million dollar home in Calabasas, for her and the kid, so if he goes to court, and the judge goes…”Woah! 15,000 dollars a month is way too much, plus you are paying for the living expenses. I think that it should only be 5,000″. She’s gonna get screwed. All for being stingy because your baby smells like perfume…
Nikki: Exactly. Because Louis has done everything that I feel…like…he’s taken his duties, and he’s taken it…and he’s done a great job…
Dax: (reads viewer comments)
“He should get a DNA test…after she has enough jealousy…silly girl”
Dax: Everyone’s been talking about this DNA test. Listen, it’s not for us to decide if he should take a DNA test. I know that the fans would love for him to take a test, just to prove to them that he is the father, because of everything that’s happened…and baby gate and this and that…
Nikki: (goes off topic, except manages to include DNA)…about Fetty Wap and DNA…
Dax: (resumes viewers comments)
“Paternity test, please”
“Paternity test needs to happen”
“He is not the father”
“It’s not Briana or Louis”
Nikki: (reading viewer comments) …oh, the fake baby…
Dax: (explaining) Oh, well, they think it could be someone else’s baby that’s posing as their child, or whatever…(dismissively).
Dax: (reading viewer comments)
“Ok, so Louis thinks that Freddie is his because they dated for months” (Dax….Listen, we don’t know…we weren’t there…I can’t say that…we don’t know…whatever he believes, and if he wants to take a paternity test, he can take a paternity test…)
“One Direction is dead”
“This pregnancy has been the most stupid staged celeb pregnancy ever. He has never spoke up, ever, and has been slagged off, big time”
“I’ve never heard of Briana until they randomly announced it”
“Dax, do you have eyebrows?” …(Dax, touching his eyebrows…last time I checked, I did.)
“If you look at a picture of Louis and Freddie, you’ll see they look so much alike, the eyes, the eyebrows, the nose” (Dax, quickly moving on…alright.)
“The pic of him with Freddie was proved to be photoshopped” (Dax…oh, we’re not getting into this…)
“He isn’t the father though”
“What do you think about Zayn rejoining One Direction?” (Nikki…I don’t think that’s happening) (Dax…that’s not gonna happen) (Nikki…Zayn’s very well off on his own)
PART III:
“I’m the father” (Dax…says Carlos).
“He’s doing well out of One Direction” (Dax…that’s true)
“How much was the house my boy Louis got her?” (Dax…ah, it’s a million dollar house…it’s rented…I don’t think it’s an owned house…)
Dax: (Moving on to other topics)…and if you guys have any questions on Louis…or Ariel, or whatever, still throw them in, I will talk about it…
Dax: (more viewer comments)
“What do you think about Harry going solo, and One Direction’s future?” (Nikki…I think One Direction is done) (Dax…I don’t know if they’re done, but I think that’s going to…eventually that will happen, and you will start to see more of them going solo…I think Zayn was the first one, then you’ll start to see Har…whatever…)
“Is Larry real?” (Dax…oh god, we can’t get back in to this guys…)
“Is Gigi and Zayn done?” (Dax…I thought that they were back together) (Nikki…Gigi and Zayn…yeah, they were never done apparently…ah…they support each other)
“Do you think Louis needs to take a paternity test, for, y’know, the ‘custody battle’?” (Nikki…haha…no, we’ve said this before…it’s his prerogative) (Dax…because if he thinks…he believes…he’s the father, the only reason they’re gonna…the only reason there is gonna be a paternity test is if he doesn’t think he’s the father, then there’s no need for a paternity test, and the judge is not gonna say “go take a paternity test”. His name is on the birth certificate, her name’s on the birth certificate, and that’s all the judge cares about.
(Dax…oh, I didn’t talk about Larry yet…) “Larry is real” (Dax…says Lena)
Dax: Alright, we gotta go. Thank you for joining us….Nikki, thank you…and we will see all you guys next week…
