Re: Fic Discussion - Deja vu

It's not nearly as pervasive and formal as that term implies. Media training: a couple of days. At most. Recently includes: "Don't be stupid online."

Sure, but having done media training for parts of my job, it's pretty much, here's a script, follow it. Like, every interview for individual accomplishment is:
- Credit the team.
- Cite specific other player playing well.
- Compliment opposing team.
- Cite something about upcoming schedule.
- Repeat as necessary.

And for a loss it's just the above, but in a slightly different order. Like, it may be a few days but that level of scripting isn't accidental.

NA I'm pretty sure anyone whose been watching hockey for a decent amount of time could give a passable post-game interview. Just throw in a few, we need to play our game/we just kept playing our game and mention getting pucks on net and you're good to go.

Now I wanna write fic that's 5 things Connor McDavid never said in a post game interview and one he did.

My favourite dumb bit is to mimic the interview with the tv on mute.

na

"Why do you think you lost today?" "Well the other team got more points than us." "What's your plan going forward?" "I think we're really work on...scoring more points than the other team. Also good fundamentals."

"We just need to play our game. And pay attention to the details."

I'm loving letterkenny's parodies on hockey interviews.

I don't think anyone is implying they do presidential debate style prep, it doesn't take that long to give people a basic script and tell them to stick to it.

I want one of them to 'debate' Trudeau now.

Re: Fic Discussion - Deja vu

SA
I'm imagining a system in which the Canadian prime minister gets prima nocta with the number one overall draft pick, and the reason McDavid is so salty about the draft is because he didn't get Trudeau.

Re: Fic Discussion - Deja vu

No kink shame, but I don't want to imagine that at all.

Re: Fic Discussion - Deja vu

No, no, I grossed myself out too. Whatever, Trubama forever.
