@HockeyHomegurlHattiehere with all your pucking news! Ladies, ladies, ladies! Have you seen the picture trending from our trusty source of everything, hockey hotties? #sayitaintso If you’ve seen it then you’ve been weeping in your pillow like this girl right here. Team captain, @torrancebailey, our favorite center for the Seattle Vipers, is taken. It’s been years since we’ve seen a woman on this man’s arm, and I am shooketh. We all deemed him perpetually single. The man is a vault. Rumor has it via our bookstagram besties that the woman in the spotlight of my ire is none other than author @jazminnestarrauthor! The word on the street is that Starr cancelled a series of releases, left her fiancé and fled across the states to hide and lick her wounds. #factcheckingforafriend. I don’t know if it’s true, but your girl is here for the tea. Stop the presses, our boy is definitely slumming it with this one. Tor, you can do better. You’ve broken a lot of hearts. The bunnies are crying rivers, if the running mascara is any indication. Tell me what you think of the picture above in the comments. Let’s talk about it. @HockeyHomegurlHattie out. #dropsmic

@surlypuckfan:Why you gotta body shame? I think she looks beautiful. So, what if @torrancebailey found someone to love. Good for him. #MindYourBusiness

@bouncybabe78:Absolutely heartbroken. #gutted Say it ain’t so indeed. Torrance Bailey is my dream man. Not hating on @jazminnestarrauthor though. Love her books. #Facts When hockey and books collide it’s the perfect marriage. Sad, but good for them.

@stickslave: @torrancebailey needs to focus on the cup. #stanleycupforthewin He doesn’t have time for wasting time on relationships. I mean, she isn’t model worthy. #rollypolly Sorry, not sorry.

@Mistyeyedbecky: I am #cryingariver! Marry me instead @torrancebailey @jazminnestarrauthor needs to fulfill her obligations to her readers. #Getthosebookswritten No offense. She needs to be in the writing cave and not chasing after hockey players. Is this for real?

@callmebunnyqueen:Shouting NO!!! *frowning face emoji*

@vipersgirl4life:I was there!! She was all over him. What a #desperatedamsel I can’t believe he even looked her way. @jazminnestarrauthor you don’t belong on the ice. #Booksareyourjam Leave the hockey players to the true fans. #NotforBIGgirls

@bookishwormstastic:It is true? @jazminnestarrauthor has been #MIA, and her readers are wondering when we are going to get her next bestseller. I support you Miss Starr, if that hockey God is your new muse. #Gowithit Your book tribe has your back. Don’t you all have better things to do with your lives? #GOreadAbook
