Re: World Cup of Hockey

This is only vaguely related but there was discussion about the Olympics here so I'm putting this here:

https://twitter.com/frank_seravalli/status/737397744478912516

Bettman: "I'm pretty sure our teams don't want to pay for the privilege to disrupt our season." (regarding 2018 Winter Olympics in S. Korea)

Okay, so what does it meaaaan? I'm too stupid/tired/bad at English to interpret this apparently?

If they go to the Olympics, there's this weird break in the middle of the NHL season because the season's not over when the Olympics come around.

The major sticking point in the NHL allowing its players to go to the Olympics is the cost of insuring the players. He's saying why should the teams foot the bill for someone else's event they're already having to accomodate in the schedule.

Bettman wants the IIHF and IOC to foot the bill for NHLers participating in the Olympics (insurance, transportation, etc.). Without that, it's unlikely the NHL will agree to allow players to participate.

If you do watch, skip to the episodes that actually happen during the season.

Taylor Winnik and her friendship with Martine Forget almost make up for thirteen episodes of Maripier's "storyline" never really going anywhere. But because she's basically the main character, while you might go a couple episodes without Kodette LaBarbera, Paige Getzlaf or Angela Price (Or basically anyone who isn't Taylor, Martine or Maripier.) she's in every. single. episode.

I don't want to spoil it in case you do end up watching but the final episode of season two has the most aggravating "MP's and Brandon Prust's relationship seems kind of fucked up" moment of the season.

(Basically, there are some really good moments but if you're already tired of MP, probably not something you want to watch.)

That is not the oddest reason. At all.

Re: World Cup of Hockey

(Anonymous) 2016-05-30 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
The break the other anon talked about, along with the IIHF not wanting to pay for insurance for hockey players who play in the Olympics, meaning the team's would have to dish it out for any players who participate.

nonnie, please spoil me for the mp/prust stuff.

na

Can you spoil me? I wouldn't watch but your wording made me curious.

I read this and enjoyed it, BUT I also thought it was basically Sid!whump and over-the-top sexuality angst and I like a lot of icehot's stuff so it's not like I'm an especially demanding consumer. Also it started dragging towards the end.

I'm iffy on Oksana's presence, although I'm not 100% sure I agree with the yenta deal. (I *was* happy to see she's got a dude who's good to her and we get some hints she has a life beyond talking to geno, but she sometimes felt like a plot device and only sometimes felt like a full-blown character.)

Jen Bullano is a badass (And if they’re rude, I’ll kick them in the balls,” she finishes, startling a soggy laugh out of Zhenya.) and I liked Flower, but if you like supportive teams this is NOT the fic you want to read imo.

As a Minnesota fan this one is kind of hilarious to me, because Haula is one of those players who turns it on for a few months and then disappears almost entirely for the next three.

Out of curiosity, what would fit "oddest reason" criteria?

Re: Ask Meme

They kind of gloss over it, but when he was sent down to Utica and then wasn't picked up by any team at the trade deadline he felt "rejected" and took it out on MP. Like, verbally. MP says he said some "hurtful" things to her,and that he blamed her, but she doesn't elaborate.

She reveals this in one of the interview things that they show, while their at his house in London discussing the wedding/his training/next season and she's also like "OMG He's finally talking to me about how he's feeling!!!" and you're just kind of left sitting there like "He should of done that before he blamed you for shit that is not your fault??? This isn't healthy at all!!"

"Why do you have such a soft spot for Dylan Strome?" "Ah, well, I wouldn't call it a soft spot..."

Like the other nonny said, the later episodes are more interesting and slightly less forced. If you don't like MP, there is a LOT of MP and her drama. So much drama. They are heavy on Taylor, MP and Martine, light on all the other women. (Is Keshia even really on this show? We never, ever see her.)

Pundits overwhelmingly in favor of Sharks, stats models overwhelmingly in favor of Pens. Any theories as to the reason for the discrepancy? Are people overestimating the Sharks (and if so, why?), or are analytics broadly failing to account for something (if so, what)?

Summed it up to another nonnie above, but basically he wasn't happy when he was sent down and then wasn't traded at the deadline and he took it out on MP. Like, she literally says he blamed her and said some hurtful things to her.

DA

At least once an episode I end up yelling "JUST DUMP HIM" at MP through my computer screen. I wish she'd listen to me.

(also, i still wish that kinkmeme fill where a super drunk shea weber decides he wants gaudreau to be the first guy to fuck him and gaudreau makes it a REALLY good ASG experience would be completed.)

Yikes. How on earth could he find a way to blame that on her? :/ And not great either that they don't really seem to talk...

He must be incredible in bed. Because I cannot figure out why else she would stay with him.

(Is it the hockey player thing? Like she's pretty hot. She could probably chase a jersey that isn't such an dick I feel like ...)

On the Pens side, if they're using analytics from the regular season or even the previous rounds as a predictive model, they might not be taking into account Daley's injury which happened fairly late, and the fact that the Lightning straight up are weaker defensively and in goal (and also more injured) compared to the Sharks.

If the Penguins played weaker teams and had better stats, it doesn't necessarily translate to their matchup against the Sharks. Only the Caps were a fully healthy threat. The Rangers were not looking so great. And the Lightning would have been stronger with Bishop and Stamkos and a less rusty Stralman.

I don't think the Pens will be a pushover by any means, but just doing a matchup position by position (forwards, defensemen, goal) - the Sharks are both healthier and stronger. Especially the Pens blueline look to be getting pretty thin.

yo, hot or not, she doesn't deserve to be treated like crap. If he's a shitbag to her, she deserves someone who treats her better. Full stop.
