Sid/Geno. Geno got in a car crash before he could come to the US and is currently in a coma, so it's pretty weird that Sid starts seeing him around Consol. WIP. This story feels a lot more intimate and less melodramatic than the coma part of that summary suggests. It's got great angst so far, and overall I'm really liking it.

This is also the person that did that Oshie/Backstrom/Ovechkin fic for rarepairs that I liked, so I'm excited to see what they do here with more words (and possibly less time crunch).

With two(?) fics having Ryan Strome grooming Dylan and/or Connor he is now firmly in the "you're a bad man, Mr.Strome" category for me (specially since I know nothing else about him). Sorry rl!Ryan.

I heard the rift in the Pen's locker room is actually that they all slept with Crosby's secret wife.

Re: Articles and Videos and Specials, Oh My! - Geno in GQ

[(Anonymous)]

It was surprising for Geno to really show his ass in that GQ interview.
So he and his fiance are both Putin supporters; good to know! Everything Putin does, Geno thinks is okay, and Putin is a good leader, according to him.
Cool - anti-gay, anti-free speech, selling weapons to questionable world leaders, etc - Geno is cool with all of this, because the guy's Russian. I love it. If it were anyone else saying this shit, he'd be dragged under the bus, but it's fandom-darling Geno, and he gets a free pass.
The option was there - stick with the "hey, it's noy my job I don't know about this stuff", which is what he started out with, so why state your outright support for such a terrible person?
And it's his fiance, Anna, too. I mean, she wanted to run for office in Russia, and didn't have the paperwork (read: the money to bribe her way in); her split with Geno was caused when she asked him to pony up the cash, and he refused because he wanted her to come to America (because he wants kids and he's lonely due to his inability to make non-Russian friends in Pittsburgh).
Anna comes to the US, and is miserable in Pittsburgh, but she got what she really wanted - an engagement ring. Now, I wonder how long it'll be before we hear that Geno wants a trade to a city where Anna'll be happier (Mike Fisher-esque).
They're both as crooked as each other, but you won't hear a bad word against this guy because people are too far up his ass.

Bangs, Fests, and Exchanges!

[(Anonymous)]

For talking about fandom events. Currently I am aware of:
* Slapshot to the Heart (assignments out, open for treating?)
* New Year's Fest (prompts out, fics to be posted beginning of January)
* Rare Bears: Bruins exchange (nominations open)
* Hockey Holidays (open for treating)
* Hockey Festivus (open for treating)
* Yuletide (open for treating)
* fandom_stocking (signups past deadline but appear to still be open if you hurry, stockings open for treating)

Whew! Tell me if I missed something, which I probably did.

Bump, because I'm about to post a big long list of all the hockey-related stockings.

Prospects & Minor Leaguers

Someone started a thread like this a couple posts back, and I enjoyed it, so I want to do it again.

Re: Prospects & Minor Leaguers

habs traded Christian Thomas, who I was for some reason fairly attached to to Arizona. and yeah, fair he was literally never gonna crack the roster with the depth they have right now at his position, and he didn't look great in the one or two games he played up during this ongoing injury sesh, but damnit he was one of my minor league faves! and now he is gone. oh well.

Fantasy Hockey

Re: Fantasy Hockey

[(Anonymous)]

My +/- category should just be renamed -.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't have anything current or interesting to contribute but I just felt like airing two fic ideas that I've never been able to find the energy to write
1) Something Steve Downie/Stamkos. Downie's kind of an ornery lousy team mate with attitude problems (starting with fighting with Akim Aliu). Apparently he used to be very nice and sweet before his father died (father died in a car crash while sending Downie to a practice as a child). But he and Stamkos got on very well, I saw a fan account in which a person who worked near their rink said he always saw them laughing and going off for lunch together.
2) A long time ago people fantasized about Paulina Gretzky and Crosby dating, and how great their children would be at hockey. I think a Steven R Mcqueen (I'm a fan)/Drew Doughty fic would be hilarious because Luc Robitaille who's Steve's stepdad works for the Kings and Drew is Drew.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm super here for Steve R McQueen hockey slash (I'm not a big doughty fan). But Steve is one of the few "hockey (step) kids" famous enough for me to be comfortable wanting all the insider/legacy grapplings that I want to read about.

Although when it came to the Crosby-Paulina wishes, I always wondered why they didn't say hayley wickenheiser. If this is all DNA based, why skip a generation?

[(Anonymous)]

I've been watching season 1 of Hockey Wives and I rather like it. Many of the wives on the show mention unnamed bitchy wives who are very territorial of the wife room, and I wonder who they are.

Also Kodette Labarbera looks just like Johnny Gaudreau, which is really weird. Especially when she smiles.

Hockey Holiday Videos

Ridiculous NHL holiday videos ranging from massively embarrassment-squick inducing to hilarious. Post them here!

Re: Hockey Holiday Videos

The Caps have gone with an "A Christmas Story" movie trailer. Surprisingly good acting from some players! Several players fighting cracking up! Bunny. Suit. Ovi.

Not me, because I'm busy watching the Bruins play a hockey game. Stellar planning, that. But I'm going to try and catch it later.

[(Anonymous)]

Does anyone know if James Van Riemsdyk has ever had a girlfriend? I just realized I have never heard of him having one and it strikes me as unusual.

[(Anonymous)]

he doesn't even have a tag on the hockey wives blog i checked, which is definitely unusual.

I must say, I'm impressed with the Vancouver announcers. They seem to be pronouncing all of the Flyers' names correctly, even Gostisbehere. (I've heard several other teams' announcers struggle with that lately.)

Has anyone got a copy of Radar Love (Briere/Giroux fic by couturiersmissingteeth)? I seem to have links in my history to a couple other Brioux fics of theirs on Pastebin, so I'm hoping the same helpful anon has Radar Love, too.

I was like "Oooh! Tampa Bay @ Washington. Two fun teams. Maybe I'll watch that game. " Then I remembered that Tampa Bay is considerable less fun right now with my two favorite triplets injured.
