“Charlie Work” in the Context of Hockey
It’s Always Sunny in the NHL
Because of the implication
It’s well documented how obscure the show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005 — ) is when it’s shown out of context.
I want to take out-of-context moments from the show and put them in the context of each NHL team heading in to the Olympic break.
Anaheim Ducks
This is probably how the New York Rangers feel about Jacob Trouba and Chris Kreider being Anaheim Ducks.
Buffalo Sabres
Buffalo presenting themselves as contenders also makes me think they require sunscreen.
Calgary Flames
Definitely the kind of distraction method the Flames would use to keep you from seeing just how bad they’ve been.
Carolina Hurricanes
The big-brain Eric Tulsky-method of calculating necessary points for advantageous positioning in the playoffs, only for it to inevitably backfire.
Chicago Blackhawks
Connor Bedard realizing that he’s got next to no goal-support from the rest of his team.
Columbus Blue Jackets
Once a week has been about the rate of consistency the Blue Jackets have had this season. Plus, they stink.
Dallas Stars
Jason Robertson, because he knows when to strike.
Detroit Red Wings
I guess wins are like crack cocaine for the Red Wings. They want them, and they keep getting them.
Edmonton Oilers
The mentality that Edmonton has quietly adopted as the season has gone on.
Los Angeles Kings
This is how the Kings should feel about losing Anze Kopitar for his final season to injury.
Nashville Predators
This is the Predators defence trying to figure out how to play their position.
New Jersey Devils
It’s sort of like the way Jack Hughes just can’t ignore the possibility of getting injured.
New York Islanders
This is Mathieu Darche when he called up Chris Drury about acquiring Carson Soucy. Darche really needed to check in since that was only the fourth trade the Isles and Rangers have made together in the history of the NHL.
Ottawa Senators
I think this sums up the season the Senators are having from their own point of view.
Pittsburgh Penguins
I don’t know, there’s something about coming out looking like a bird to defy all expectations.
St. Louis Blues
This is why you don’t leave St. Louis: they’ve got one of the worst road records in the NHL.
Seattle Kraken
You have to imagine this is how this team feels having changed coaches on basically an annual basis.
Tampa Bay Lightning
The Lightning trying to figure out how to get past the first round of the playoffs again.
Utah Mammoth
I mean, I’d feel the same way if I were a team in the Pacific Division right now, too.
Vancouver Canucks
Trying to justify trading Quinn Hughes.
Vegas Golden Knights
This is just the way of the Golden Knights in general.
Washington Capitals
This has to be the only valid explanation for the Caps not playing the way they did down the stretch last season.
Winnipeg Jets
I’d say this is an accurate depiction of the state of affairs in Winnipeg this season.

Hopefully, this achieved two things:
- You want to watch more hockey.
- You want to watch (or rewatch for the thousandth time) It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005 — ) because it’s a hilarious show.
Anyway, I don’t know how many years I have left with this article, so I’m going to get real weird with it.
Later, jabronis.
