The crying one? Yeah, that was something. Even if/when he's not a Blue, I'll still have a soft spot for the big dork. He's like the perfect mix of a dorky dad joke and a competent mother fucker.

AYRT I guess part of my problem is that he started off with the Wild and I just blanket hate them all, but sometimes that goes away when someone moves on to another team. Like, even though I hate the Hawks, I became quite fond of Kris Versteeg when he was in Carolina (and through his summer dance collaboration with Jason Demers). But Clutterbuck with his memorable name and smirky hipster face is just...ugh.

So with this comment it becomes blazingly obvious I'm a Stars fan. LOL

So I just realized Hockey Wives started again when I wasn't paying attention. Is it worth getting into again or is it more of the same?*

*meaning, of course, I will delay watching until I have something serious to procrastinate on.

DA

Same here. I'm going to be sad if he leaves because that also means less Stella hanging out with the other Blues babies, too.

Yeah I mean I have pests and hot-headed bullies in both categories. My list is very subjective and you can also probably follow my fandom trajectory.

That's very neat, anon. When asked for actual details instead of vague huffing, you resort to personal insults - but you make it such a goddamn ridiculous insult in the context of what you're complaining about that everyone takes up the "wtf" banner, instead of noticing you're unable to support your point.

I have one favorite that I closely follow, a handful that I casually like and will root for when they're not playing my team but don't really follow, a bunch I'm completely apathetic about, and 2-3 I casually dislike. I don't hate any because I'm very bad at hating things.

I only really love players on my team (Caps), but other players I kinda like include:

Kopitar (and his puppy!!! and his Cup baby!!!)
PK
Lundqvist (idek, and not when he's playing my team)
Backes (not the same conference, so animal love sways me. plus i hate the Hawks and my first playoffs involved "Wakey, wakey, Backes.")
Tarasenko
Hertl
Willy Mitchell
Luongo
Stamkos (100% because of the figure-skating commercial)
Joel Ward still has my love
Joey Hishon. Not even an NHL player, but it's hard not to feel bad for that guy.

Players I used to like more than I do now:

Landeskog
Malkin (has fallen to HATED designation)

Players I wish I could like more than I do:

Panarin

Players I don't like but don't care enough for it to be hatred:

Toews
Corey Perry

HATED (it's not all the same kind of hatred):

All the Pens. Every one of them. Some because they're Pens, some because I genuinely dislike them and the things they do.
James Neal
Matt Cooke
Patrick Kane

I want to know the logistics of the pet-saving operation. Do they keep it going as is? Do they move their foundation? With Jax gone and now maybe Backes, won't anyone think of the homeless animals?

sa

Seguin would also fall under "don't like but don't care enough to hate."

Someone questioning whether you're willing to accept how people can be annoyed by your team's fans after many, many, many different threads and anons explaining themselves isn't really a ridiculous insult.

🙄

I assumed they were talking about reddit threads, tbqh.

ayrt

I'm thinking now it's Haula bc he seems to destroy my team and so I hate him.

I think one of the other guys would probably pick up the St. Louis arm of it (I think Petro and Shatty are fairly involved? Although Shatty may not be there next year, either...) or they probably have local volunteers to help out with things. Or the team itself might keep things up, since there are a lot of pet owners and it's become sort of ingrained at this point, along with things like the children's hospital visits and all of the children's charity work that Steener does. I think A4A itself would be reasonably easy to move with them and run from wherever they end up, since afaik it's mostly based online and then partnered with one of the local rescues.

Or Backes can just fly in to save animals in his free time.

da

The question wasn't "how can people be annoyed at Pens fans?? we're so great!," it was a specific question about one claim that was made, that someone else provided a good answer to. Bringing an ad hominem attack about lacking empathy into it is not only over the top, it's a little ironic given the topic of discussion and some of the remarks that have been made. And given that the impetus of the thread was "I am so annoyed that I follow Pens fans on twitter and they talk about Pascal Dupuis all the time, it isn't even that sad, get over it!" (and not a Pens fan coming onto meme saying "let's all be sad about Duper together!), even as someone who frequently finds the Pens fanbase insufferable, I don't have much sympathy for that complaint.

And he is a former Gopher, so the feeling of hatred is completely reasonable

Didn't Steen used to drive around town and pick up stray animals for rescue too? I seem to remember reading that and they painted it as some weirdly intense past time (but then Steen seems weirdly intense so)

I irrationally enjoy Haula because in a preseason game once he scored against the Pens and one of the Pens twitters posted the terrible "holla holla we dem boyz" song and it always makes me laugh now.

This is perhaps the oddest reason to enjoy a hockey player. But meh. I'll own it.

I have 2. Because loving the Oilers is a challenge and sometimes I need some levity (that said my second team is the Penguins which comes with their own set of challenges. But given that I look at the Pens through Oilers colored glasses that's often all the levity I need 😄)

Anon, I do believe you are misremembering that thread.

http://dekedangle-rpfanon.dreamwidth.org/6145.html?thread=28867329#cmt28867329

No one even says Dupuis *should* get it. But perhaps you're talking about a couple of Pens fans you saw in a dark alley somewhere shit-talking Zuccarello, not the actual Masterton nomination thread that occurred on meme, that a casual observer might think you are referring to?

I'm very happy to correct what might have been a hilarious misunderstanding! I hope if anyone has evidence of other Masterton threads that occurred elsewhere they will link them, so we can all consider the evidence.

I hadn't heard that, but that seems like a very Steen thing to do. Weirdly intense is a good way to describe him, lol. I've heard he visits a lot of sick kids at the hospital in his down time, too.

He does know and I'm sick of it! Sick of it!!! The only prescription is 100k of Johnny getting reamed out by various athletes in the greater Boston area.

na

This is... so charming?

I would read 100k of him having various bigger, bro-type athletes wrapped around his little finger by power of cuteness. They're just hanging out, guys being dudes, and before they even know what's happened they're competing with each other to buy him drinks/bow ties/whatever else his beautiful heart desires.
