Re: Ask Meme

This would be a great question for its own thread, IMO.

Re: Ask Meme

[(Anonymous)]

No one asked.

Man, what a rollercoaster of emotion! It's like "aww happy Finns :)" "aww sad Russians :(" over and over again, lol.

Good picture, a+. I have to admit I saved it to my computer lol, it goes along well with those photos of Jack Eichel & co looking absolutely crushed (I forgot the context of those though, oops).

I know! But he didn't last year!

Re: Ask Meme

I meant because it'd be a fun new topic and it wouldn't get buried in the ask meme thread, but you do you, OAA.

Re: Ask Meme

I'm curious about that, too! I wonder if authors will settle on (mostly) one guy to ship McDavid with eventually, lol.

But otoh I'd actually really like a long fic dealing with just that ldr drama between them, lol. Or future fic where they're traded to the same team.
I used to not care about them at all but I've become kind of attached now.

Re: Ask Meme

I would read Eichel/Reinhart but I can't actually think of anyone on the Oilers I would ship McDavid with. I think in my mind he isn't quite a part of that "kid line" group yet with all of their history, and it seems like one of them might get traded soon anyways. Maybe he'll get a cute new rookie next season to mentor/make out with.

who should win the Stanley Cup - a VERY SILLY THREAD

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, here you get to argue to your heart's content about how ~deserves to win. However, you are only allowed to use FRIVOLOUS arguments.

Good argument: The Sharks should win because they have the best beards.

Bad (not silly enough) argument: The Sharks should win because they have more guys that haven't won the cup.

I feel like we should throw this open to all the other teams, too - why does your team deserve the cup this year, even if they didn't make it to the final?

How about Draisaitl? Although I admittedly don't know much about him besides his nationality, enjoying his hockey, and finding him attractive.

Re: Random Hockey Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Right. I think that got posted on TSB, and I wanted fic for it because ... um, yeah. Money shot, indeed.

Re: Prospects and Juniors

[(Anonymous)]

I also want someone to be shopping a pick. The latest rumor I read suggested Edmonton might? At long last?

Re: who should win the Stanley Cup - a VERY SILLY THREAD

I'm not sure this counts as silly, but the Pens should win so I get to see Sheary and the other WBSers sprayed in the face with champagne.

Re: Random Hockey Thread

[(Anonymous)]

I just read a Yotes fic where the author was very upset with Boedker and said so in her author's note. Does anyone know what the context of this might be? Something that happened after he went to the Avs?

Re: Ask Meme

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt
Yeah, that seems like an option. I read that one fic about them recently but my next to 0 knowledge of Draisaitl wasn't enough to make me actually ship it, you know? Maybe if somebody convinced me *eyes emoji*

The Sharks deserve to win because they have a cat. The Penguins don't have a cat.

Re: Ask Meme

I'd read Dylan Strome with Nick Merkley: Alex DeBrincat 2.0, since I don't want to break up the Killer D family.

Was it the one with the wrong German despite there being only one sentence of German? (By which I mean, the one with Rieder lol.)

I assumed she was just mad at him for leaving/not signing with the Coyotes again.

Re: who should win the Stanley Cup - a VERY SILLY THREAD

Solid argument, I'm convinced! :D

Re: who should win the Stanley Cup - a VERY SILLY THREAD

Does the cat have a home now? I thought I saw something about it getting adopted, but now I can't remember.

Anyway, it's a black cat, so you will get very differing opinions on whether or not that's a point in the Sharks favor! (Full disclosure: I also have a black cat, and she's delightful, but I have never won the Stanley Cup since I got her. HMM.)

Re: Random Hockey Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Ha ha, I don't know enough German to know it was wrong. But yeah, that's the one. She also wrote quite a long OEL/Boedker post-trade fic that also seemed pretty upset with Boedker, although I couldn't tell how much of that was earnest and how much of it was for fic angst.

Yes, Jo has been adopted! (Along with another cat, I think? I read an article, but my attention span isn't long enough to retain the details of feel-good stories.) She's still the Sharks kitty, though. She has more hockey swag than I do.

The Sharks are such a weird team at this point that even bad luck becomes good luck for them. Look at how many games they won with their black cat shrines up! (Disclaimer: I have no idea how many games they won with their black cat shrines up, I just saw pics on tumblr.)

The Sharks should win because Jumbo Joe told the world that if he scored four goals in one game he'd have his cock out, stroking it, and nobody on the Pens has ever made such a promise. When one of them talks about his cock on the record they can win.

Re: who should win the Stanley Cup - a VERY SILLY THREAD

The Pens should win, because that Sharks don't have any babies small enough to fit in the cup.

Re: who should win the Stanley Cup - a VERY SILLY THREAD

I really thought this was going to end with "And the Sharks should win via Jumbo Joe scoring four goals in a game and living up to his word," and now I'm disappointed.
