    For me it’s Torrey Mitchell and Devin Setoguchi. They were instantly inseparable as San Jose Sharks rookies, rooming together and sharing a rented Corolla. (There are many classic Shark Byte interviews of them together; I always liked the one where Torrey discusses his PlayStation FIFA soccer expertise, and Devin rolls his eyes and harrumphs like a long-suffering spouse [since he claims he’s better at it].) They were housemates for four years through all sorts of ups and downs (including a season-long brutal injury where Torrey’s shin collided full-force with a goalpost during ’08 training camp) and then I actually cried when Devin got traded to the Minnesota Wild on NHL draft day in 2011. (There were still some moments to make me feel better, like the classic Puck Daddy article on hockey players’ love of Lululemon underwear…Mitchell was quoted as saying that most of his went suddenly missing when Seto got traded, and he was going to ask Devin what color his were when they next played a game, since he knew what color he bought.) In 2012 Torrey signed with Minnesota as a free agent (more tears for me, since he was my favorite Shark, but I was happy that he was reunited with Devin). This summer, Devin got traded to the Winnipeg Jets, so I’m sad for them again, but they’ll always be my favorite bromance. And hockey’s got a lot of stories like that…

    I don’t watch any sports in RL. I’m just not interested enough in the games to sit through hours of televised sports with my basic knowledge of the games. I like reading sport tropes though and find the blurbs interesting.
