Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Re: Hockey Media
From: (Anonymous)"ESPN The Magazine published a piece that chronicled Kessel’s NHL draft combine experience, through the eyes of the Columbus Blue Jackets’ managerial staff.
There are other questions. About his relationships with teammates. About his rep as a party guy. Then Boyd goes directly to the scouting report. "How would you respond to this: 'A little bit immature, needs to work a little harder in the gym, practice a little harder, needs to learn some social skills, people skills.' We'll leave it at that."
Kessel's voice falls to a whisper. "I'd say, okay...yeah a little bit...some of that stuff...it's a little hard...work on some of that stuff, I guess."
It's over soon after that. Kessel looks disheartened as he leaves. MacLean looks sad. "If what they're saying about this kid isn't true, it's criminal. Because I don't know if I ever heard the negative stuff like I have with this kid.""

From: (Anonymous)It's so ridiculous. I could laugh at it, maybe, if it weren't so prevalent. It's everywhere, even in paid articles by otherwise sensible people.
Re: Fic discussion
From: (Anonymous)(Also some typoes like He understands, it’s ruff, Jack just needs a little space. Ruff *is* an English word but I'm pretty sure the author meant "rough".)
And I have a hard time buying Eichel characterized as secretly shy. (I *could* buy it but this author didn't make it work for me.)
Overall, readable but *I* wasn't impressed and even for a nonnie who really really wants Eichel/Reinhardt I probably wouldn't rec this. (Lake/beyond belief's fic where they watch massage videos together worked a lot better for me. http://archiveofourown.org/works/6481756 )

Re: Fic discussion - the space between the blue lines
From: (Anonymous)Anybody reading this series? It's OC/OC, two guys each of whom have their own (non-relationship-related) issues, updates fairly regularly so far. I'm a little annoyed that the everyone in the story knows what McNamara's deal is except the reader - that's just cheating, IMO. But I like the character interactions.
Re: Hockey Media
From: (Anonymous)Sidney Crosby's teammates don't do the right thing when he asks them to? Bad leadership! /s
Re: Gossip/Player's Lives.
From: (Anonymous)Given that iirc at least some of the Montreal media were attempting to claim Galchenyuk's (hopefully) ex-girlfriend hitting him was because she caught him cheating with Devante Smith-Pelly, yeah, Montreal media genuinely outing someone seems an entirely likely scenario.
(Now wants a fill for "PK's involuntarily outed and has to deal with the fallout of being both black and the first out NHL player in a city with media that eats their own" even worse than I already did. Bonus points for Carey being an awesome BFF and Beaulieu and Gallagher being dicks about it.)
Re: Gossip/Player's Lives.
From: (Anonymous)(This is not to say that the Montreal media wouldn't out someone or that they're not horrible, because they really are, and I have no trouble imagining them doing something that shitty.)
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Re: Fic discussion
From: (Anonymous)*********************************************
Also anything with sex workers that *doesn't* have them quitting for Twu Luv gets an automatic bonus point from me. I will never not be pissed about that K/T a few years back where Kane is a successful street-level pro and Toews is an escort and the fic *still* has them quit despite neither of them having a clear alternative source of revenue/exit plan and the narrative not backing up any kind of either a) really hating their jobs, b) "I'm not cool having sex for money any more because I'm seriously *with* someone" or c) jealousy on either of their parts (iirc, anyway).
(I'm more into the approach taken by something like labellementeuse's Benn/escort!Seguin or rest's Benn/stripper!Segs, both of which have at least a little onscreen discussion about dating a sex worker and neither of which ends with Segs quitting.)
Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 4!
From: (Anonymous)As someone who generally looks like she's been pulled backward through a hedge about five seconds after leaving the house, I can only conclude he's some kind of wizard.
Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 4!
From: (Anonymous)He's very smiley all the time (when not being all murder eyes). Besides he awesome flow, he also has a very nice hockey butt. His reaction to almost hitting Braden Holtby with a slapshot when Holtby's mask came off was great and he just seems like an all around good dude.
There are worse players you could pick to be irrationally fond of is all I'm saying. :D

From: (Anonymous)Every month I think THERE'S NO FIC AT ALLLLL, but then I see these posts and it's like "huh... there were a few I guess" lol.

From: (Anonymous)Re: Hockey Media
From: (Anonymous)I'm rooting for the Sharks (old guys without a Cup + Cupless franchise + everybody I *really* wanted is out) but Kessel getting a Cup ring would be a nice consolation prize.
If his Pittsburgh media presence bears any resemblance to his actual off-camera self, the people skills/"locker room cancer" issues are just as much bullshit as the "too fat to play" body ones. (Also, although I seriously doubt *Kessel's* anywhere on the autism spectrum, something about him getting told he needs to learn social/people skills makes my neurodivergent self cringe.)
Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 4!
From: (Anonymous)Excellent point. IIRC, the whole thing started because of a discussion about Dylan Strome and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and where are they now?
I still think Strome was-- perhaps unfairly-- hampered by his bizarre roster pic. Poor kid. (and yet, LOL)
