I was with you until this part. Of all the many things to complain about re: Pens fans... Dupuis? He had a Players Tribune article come out just this morning about realizing that his teammates were worried he was going to die, of course people are gonna talk and feel sad about it.

I haven't read the article by Dupuis yet, but the article Cullen did is pretty adorable: His kids offer commentary and analysis, and Kessel apparently asks about their opinions every morning. ("When I get to the rink, Phil Kessel is always asking me, “What are the boys saying? What’s the analysis?”

I’ll tell him all about their scouting report and he’ll just be dying laughing. He gets such a kick out of it.")

Also, Trevor Daley's kid looks just like him.

*eyeroll* please, talk more about how adorable the Pens are on my venting thread about how I'm sick of hearing about the Pens

I was responding to the anon you're referring to, not you, bud. Calm down.

It was still a reply to my thread so I clicked it. Maybe talk about stuff in the hockey articles thread?

Just a few days ago, someone vented about how they were sick of hearing about the Sharks and the attitude of Sharks fans on twitter, and a Sharks fan commented about how actually Sharks fans are ~funny and ~cynical while other fanbases are whiny and complain too much about calls and injuries (which lol of course the Sharks don't have any, so). Don't recall any complaining then. That's the nature of a public, communal forum.

Because the comment was topical? Please feel free to complain about fatalistic Sharks fans (I can see how that's annoying from the outside).

Re: Fandom Venting

Threads on meme go in non-topical directions all the time. Meme would look drastically different if they didn't. There would be no Eyebrow Bracket if they didn't. I understand being annoyed by that particular comment (I did eyeroll a little tbh) but the "you can't talk about that here because this is MY thread!!!" attitude is silly.

Aww, I love Cullen. Kinda mad he wasn't that good for us, but what can you do.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. I always wondered how players dealt with school for their kids on one year deals.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I kind of want fic now, except I don't really want fic about anyone's actual kids. I guess I want trade fic with fictional kids? IDK. But the logistics sound interesting.

Re: Fandom Venting

DA
I feel like Marycontraire's Brioux fic best fits this, from what I've seen in fandom, though she def. used Briere's RL kids as characters. Still, the fic where they're in Germany is probably most what you're looking for.

istg my TL is crying about Dupuis on any given day, though. There doesn't even have to be a new article.

Nah, he has a cup already, so nothing that happens to him is sad. /s
