Re: How will things go for the first out NHL player?

I know! Of 90s and earlier I really only know about the superstars, anyway.

Yep, I'm with you. I would love it if someone wrote that kind of fic.

Someone else (or maybe you?) brought up Jagr, and I had actually thought of him as potential fanon guy just cause he's an older bachelor. But aside from all the stuff about how he is apparently quite religious, I just have a hard time imagining it for some reason.

Imagine if he is gay and did come out though, that'd be incredible! Someone that good, such a key NHLer, a super 'masculine' type, etc - the haters wouldn't know what to say.

Like M&W said, "And I really hope that it is one of those players that everybody, or most traditional sports fans look at say, he’s the guy’s guy, he’s that guy’s hockey player. I really hope it’s someone like that. That becomes the first, the one that’s almost teflon to criticism. I hope it’s that kind of guy."

When you called Jagr super masculine, all I could see was:

Haha I forgot about that picture. Jags is working it.

In general though, definitely a "guy's guy" kind of player.

Not really related but I just remembered the pitchfork photo ... classic Jagr moment. http://img.reflex.cz/static/old_reflex/imgdb/original/phpfYDWtH.jpg

Hertl's recreation of it was pretty cool too. http://isport.blesk.cz/clanek/hokej/171196/goly-i-vidle-supertalent-hertl-se-fotil-jako-jagr-s-veresovou.html
