That's likely it. I know that whenever I start reading fic in a new fandom, that's what I do.

No goals in Prague so far. I think I will swap to Finland/Sweden.

I just didn't like the character dynamic, although that's probably a kink mismatch more than anything. Toews was such a total dick.

I flicked back for overtime, which was good. I enjoyed the shoot-out too.

Finland Sweden has had a lot of penalties.

I'm excited about reading this 40k Johnson/Palat/Kucherov soulmark fic.

Re: Fic Discussion

(Anonymous) 2016-09-10 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It's pretty good. The only problem is it's not finished. Boooooo.

Ugh, why. And the mod was the recip, so I guess they okayed it? But ugh.

Are there any NHWL players that came from NCAA DIII or ACHA DI (high level club hockey), or just anything other than NCAA DI hockey? I feel like there were at least a few D3ers last year but I'm not certain.

Re: Ask Meme

(Anonymous) 2016-09-10 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe on the practice squad, but not the team. The Blades have D3 players though.

I read the fic before I read the notes, and tbh it really just reads like it has an ambiguous ending. I liked it just fine as is, though I'm excited that there's apparently a whole second half to it.

There was another fic for the mod in the collection so I wonder if they threw together a short fill as their official gift when they realized they won't be able too finish the 40k one in time and added it in the collection as like a treat

Four of the practice players did, but none of the salaried players.


Kelsey Neumann (Buffalo) played at Syracuse.
Kayla Parsons (Buffalo) played at Norwich.
Julia "Cheeky" Herr (New York) played at Trinity College.
Michaela Levine (Boston) played at Williams.

Why do players in other sports, specifically American football, retire earlier than hockey players do? I feel like I've heard a lot about football players retiring while they're still good. Is it because football takes a harder physical toll? Because football players get paid more and can afford to retire earlier? Is it something to do with the culture?

Re: Ask Meme

(Anonymous) 2016-09-10 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely the harder physical toll and fear of CTE. Unless you're a star QB or what have you, you aren't getting paid shit. Each team's huge and there's not a lot of money to go around.

Re: Ask Meme

(Anonymous) 2016-09-10 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure about other sports, but for American football, there's an increasing trend of walking away because of CTE. There's a lot more focus on it these days and more studies showing just how prevalent it is in NFL players. The increased probability of your post-football life being short and awful is changing the risk assessment a lot.

I mean, the minimum salary of a practice squad member is a little less than 90k, which I wouldn't really sneeze at. It's double the minimum AHL salary, at least. If that's worth the costs (injury, lost years in the work experience or education, etc.) is another question.

Yeah, I didn't read it for a few reasons, but it was 50% annoyance that the cash grab tournament warranted "initiation" as a plot when the WC didn't. Though, mostly, that just made me even angrier at fictional Jonathan toews than I usually am.

Eichel, McDavid, Drouin, and Mackinnon talk about the new lines.
