There's no reason why Dupuis' inclusion can only come at the expense of a player who played in the playoffs, and vice versa. Even if you leave Dupuis off, if you assume the 25 players is hard and fast, that still doesn't leave enough room for all who played. If the Penguins choose to include front office names at the expense of players, that's their choice and shows what they value. No reason to pin that on Dupuis not being sufficiently deserving when he's done everything in the capacity of a good teammate except actually play games. I think that people who write off the importance of this moment for Dupuis forget that his last playoff series was the 2013 sweep against the Bruins. This is the last chance for him to be honored as a player, I don't see how you don't give it to him.

Oops, I didn't mean to mislead. (The surprise feelings were mine, for Rich Clune. I didn't know my depth of fondness for him had lasted.)

Re: General post-SCF thread

Sure, but they'd probably say the same about all the other guys too. I'm not against him being on there, I just think it shouldn't come at the expense of guys who actually played. No disrespect to Duper.

I was thinking of Kunitz. My bad.

Using the google account linked to my tablet, which I mostly use for watching true crime documentaries and sports, google apparently believes I'm interested in East Asian music, bicycles, finance and shooter games. Huh. Weird.

You don't think that "actually playing games" is an important part of winning a championship? I don't necessarily disagree with what you wrote, but my comment was based on the idea that his inclusion would exclude someone who played in the playoffs. If that's not an issue, then I have no problem with it. But I do think that Duper has been honored enough this season. Especially considering that if he were still playing, people would be complaining about him the same way they do about Kunitz.

I have bicycles and shooter games as well for my google appointed interests.

NA

I don't think the one or two games each that Bennett/Pouliot/Sundqvist have played in the playoffs, in roles that different call-ups could have played just as well, necessarily means they had a bigger impact than a player who they gave a special role as some kind of coach (I forgot what they called it) because they valued his off-ice contributions so much. As sorry as I would be for any of those three not to have their names on the Cup, I can see the reasoning behind choosing Duper instead if they have to pick.

Re: General post-SCF thread

ayrt

Obviously it is, but if it's the only or even the most important criterion you're going to use to talk about deserving to be on the cup, there are plenty of front office people who didn't play any games either. And by that logic, why is a guy like Bennett who only played 1 game and contributed nothing to the cup win any more deserving? Even if the Pens do decide they can't include another player because they've given that spot to Dupuis, that isn't on Dupuis and has nothing to do with how deserving he is or isn't. That's a choice they've made, not one the league has forced on them.

This is the first time I've seen her and she doesn't really look like I pictured her.

Also has sidmalkin ever said anything about her? I don't really check her tumblr anymore but mostly it just seems like she ignores her existence, which is her right I suppose.

people are taking this fic way too seriously. i'm usually all for realism too, but come on, meme. this is cracky porn from start to end, with some feelings thrown in. if you don't like crack that's fine, but don't go overanalysing the plot, that's ridiculous.

Re: Fic discussion - Slow Whistle

It took me too long (a few paragraphs) to realize that this is one of those fics that continually refers to the main character by last name only even in his own POV, which is among my top fic pet peeves! Sorry author, but I can't believe that TJ Brennan calls himself "Brennan" in his own head enough to keep reading :/

That's what kicked me out too.

Also, I remembered that author's TW fic and it was full of nonsense, so I was all out benefit of the doubt before I really got started anyway.

Pens have landed in Pittsburgh, Crosby apparently got off the plane and took the cup straight to Malkin's parents.

Yeah I tried to push through but I got to the scene where he's meeting with whoever from the Marlies, who is calling him TJ, because that is his name, and it was still "Brennan thought". Ugh. It wasn't great in general though so I don't feel too bereft.

Thanks for the link. I should have guessed Ben Smith would involved. He was there for what? Five minutes?

Re: Game Day Thread: June 12 2016

He was there for a long while (an entire year?) but spent a significant portion of it out with injury.

That is a fallacy and the logic behind every shitty behind-the-scenes special the NHL puts out nowadays.

+1 It's fucking clickbait by the NHL at this point.
