College hockey tends to not have open tryouts, at the D1 level - even walk-ons are recruited. When BU brought in players mid-season this year, they were recruited. It's not like football or even basketball, where you have walk-ons for practice.

I would have assumed that for her trainers but the dudes were all wearing their flipflops. IDK, I think I'm just too neurotic for porn because in the next set/location change, she was wearing spike heeled boots and I kept worrying somebody was going to get a hard-to-explain injury from those things.

I didn't go to BU but I'm from Massachusetts and same. Once the college part started, it was like "this isn't right." And if more of it is taking place at BU...

She's also had issues with how the USNTDP works before.

But you're right, the writing felt more messy than, say, Marc and Dan.

I mean, I imagine it's a lot like NHL teams wooing free agents. Every video I've seen has had players saying they had a few teams in mind, some of them were interested, coaches/recruitment contacted them, they visited campuses, then signed their letter of intent, repeat.

A bunch of the Blues dads (Brouwer, Stastny, Ott, and Backes) took their babies to swim lessons. Awww: https://www.instagram.com/p/BFWuICHFNNB/

(I always manage to forget how many Blues babies there are, but there are so many. And yet the worst dad humor offenders on the team have yet to have kids...)

Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 1! - Results

(Anonymous) 2016-05-23 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
The results from Round 1 are officially in! There were a few close races, with Fabbri, TVR, and Josi edging out Saad, Tanev, and Barrie, and a few blow outs (sorry Chris Wideman and Drew Miller. I'm sure you'll come back stronger next year!) There were also a few players who seemed like favorites going into the first round who got knocked out by other heavy weights. Alas, poor Rask, Monahan, and Sceviour. Your brows will be missed!

Thanks to everyone who voted and commented! I'll have the next round of voting up either today or tomorrow.

Voting results are up here:

And the bracket has been updated and can be found here, if you want a preview of the matchups for Round 2:

That is super cute, but wtf are those hashtags? That's not what I thought 'momporn' meant, for one.

Aww, poor Neuvy. :( Also, much as I love him, Adam Henrique's BDO combined with Dylan Strome's AWFUL roster photo must have won Rico that matchup.

Still laughing when I think about his photo. It did his usually good eyebrows no favours, that weird smile was too distracting, lol.

I'm surprised so many of these were blowouts. I thought some of the races would be much closer than they ended up being.

Part of me wonders if whoever was taking the photos didn't see his serial killer stare in his combine photo and was like, "Okay, why don't we try smiling?" The results of which were obviously horrible.

Combine photo, for reference: http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/dylan-strome-poses-for-a-headshot-at-the-nhl-combine-at-harborcenter-picture-id475789914

Oh my god lol! This is indeed very serial killer-y. Although I feel him because I look like a convict in my ID photo.

I was doing some stats fiddling on AO3 and I realized that no HRPF fic has broken 1000 kudos since the details of the Patrick Kane allegations came out, which makes me wonder how many of the quieter people in the fandom said fuck it and moved to greener pastures.

I would not be surprised if the fandom had diminished by significantly more than half.

MINE TOO!

Something this poll already did, is make me aware of his excellent eyebrows, so thank you for that alone, OP!

Probably a lot, especially because K/T was probably the favourite (only?) ship of a lot of readers. (Just an impression I always had though.)

Do you remember by any chance what the most recently posted fic to break 1000 kudos was?

Do we even need goggles for Tom Wilson and Michael Latta at this point?

Looking at fics around that marker, most of them are from two or three years ago. I'm sure a decent chunk of people jumped ship, but it's likely a lot of good writers did, too, since fic as a whole hasn't been Great since then either.

Re: Fandom Venting

(Anonymous) 2016-05-23 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
The most recent fic in the tag to break 1000 was a Check Please fic in July 2015 //eyeroll emoji

After that, it's a thehoyden fic in June 2015. Her most recent is at 938.

na

I came into K/T fandom about 2.5 years ago, and there was a BNF turnover right about then. It looks like a few of the most popular stories since I started reading have hit the 1k mark, but there was another turnover last fall and (thankfully) nobody has really filled the void. Meanwhile everyone who was writing S/G when I came in has mostly gone, and Stars fic has never quite hit the same popularity. The fandom is pretty clearly in a lull (especially with a few new mega fandoms like SWTFA pulling people), but I think with a really catchy new ship and some new blood it could easily take off again....just a question of if/when that happens.

It was Pass It On (Aug. 23, 2015) by thefourthvine, the one where Sidney Crosby texts younger players about their terrible life choices.
