How very peculiar! I think now you need to acquire a mongoose or two.

The usual suspects, I guess - Landeskog, Sharp, Seguin, Lundqvist. Mostly that's because other people are always talking about them. Hagelin, maybe, whose prettiness is underrated, I think.

See, I think two of those guys listed are vastly overrated, and not just because I have higher standards when it comes to judging celebrities' looks.

Whereas Landeskog and Sharp I recognize as "conventionally" good looking, even though they don't do anything for me, but I don't understand how anyone finds Seguin "objectively" attractive at all. Like, I get if one personally finds him attractive, I have favs who I think are objectively not conventionally attractive, but they're attractive to me. So I have to agree with the anon who said there's not really such thing as objectively good-looking -- or I guess, that what "objectively" good-looking is is still a subjective thing, even if it's a different thing from the phenomenon where your average-looking favs are really attractive to you.

I always thought Sharp was, like, barely above average, but his arrogance really makes me want to drop the "above."

Ha! Well... I wouldn't argue very hard with you about that.

It's a really, really simple rule, and people still manage to fuck it up! See example #2 from this year's noms: somebody trying to get Sid and Claude in under Pens RPF. Which, uh, Sid is one of literally 5 characters who have too many fics written about them to not qualify in the realm of hockey...and, at least in this reality, CLAUDE GIROUX HAS NEVER PLAYED FOR THE PENS. This should not be hard, people....

Okay, I can guess the top four, but without looking it up I'm at a loss for #5... Seguin, maybe? Or one of Keith/Seabrook?

Seguin is tagged in 1056 fics on AO3, so it would probably be him.

It' Seguin. Neither Keith nor Seabrook is even close. Sharp would have been a better guess, but he's not particularly close, either.

Also, what makes this rule even more wishy-washy is that a lot of people, if they tag a ship A/B, won't bother with tagging A and B as individual characters, and the character filter doesn't take ships into account at all. So those numbers are undercounting.

Meh. Far as I know everyone involved has said that was a bunch of really hurtful BS, and I'm not a big fan of anyone being tried and judged forever more via rumor and social media, but I understand not being able to 'unfeel' that uneasiness/ick factor. That said, I always found the oh-so-handsome Sharpy thing more of a laugh - like yeah, with the right lighting and grooming he was more basically symmetrical & a generic 1950s chiselled features Clark Kent white boy version of handsome than many hockey players, but he was/is always way more interesting and attractive to me for what he brings on the ice and to team dynamic than for his face.

(OTT aside I know it's a typo but 'cheating tumors' has to be the best tongue-in-cheek euphemism for metastatic cancer I've seen in a while...)

Interesting. I admittedly checked out of Blackhawk Island after the PKane stuff. But I was under the impression that the inter-team stuff was written off as BS but pretty much everyone was like "well yes the stuff with whoever's (Keith?? Seabrook??) wife isn't true, but you know it's different on the road..... and with this minor Chicago celebrity (news anchor maybe??)"

It just felt like the big team blowup ended up not being true but everyone sort of tacitly admitted that he was also not super faithful either. And that is my enduring impression. And also probably why celebrities sue for libel.

Ah. Ok. Yes, I was only referring to the articles and rumors re: an affair with Keith's wife and subsequent statements - I admittedly know jack shit about anything else - but it sounds like for one reason or another we can agree that Sharp's not the top shiniest Ken doll on the hockey shelf.

I don't personally find anyone in the NHl attractive - they're all far too male for me. But Seguin looks a lot like dudes women into men seem to go for to me, which is why I'd list him as objectively attractive.

Hi folks! Commish!Nonny here.

I'm sorry for my long absence. Once my NHL team lost in the playoffs last season, I had to take a looooong hockey hiatus, plus I started a new job in May that has been very demanding of my time.

However, I just attended a couple of WCoH exhibition games, and the love is back! :D

So, let's talk fantasy hockey! I can renew the leagues from last season, which means that everyone who participated then will receive an e-mail (at the account you used for the league last year). Anyone who does not wish to play again can opt-out and new folks can join. There is also room for all the leagues to expand (by two players for A and B and by 4 for League C).

If you'd rather start all over again with new leagues, that's going to take a bit more work. I'm not sure I'll have the time to start from scratch, so if we choose that option, someone else might have to take over.

If we go the league renewal route, they do offer the option for us to keep some or all of our rosters from last year, but I think that is a) not fair to any new players, and b) less fun. (I find the drafting a huge part of the fantasy hockey fun for me, and a great way to run up to the new season, researching players and ordering my draft list--but that might just be me.)

So, who wants to play again? Who wants to play for the first time? Any thoughts, suggestions, recommendations for how to make it better than it was last year? I'm all ears!

(PS, I haven't tried logging into my Commish email account in a while, and I'm quite sure I have no clue what the password is, so if you've sent me any e-mail there, I apologize for the lack of response. I'll try to get back into that today.)

I'd love to play again and think renewing the leagues would be fine. I also agree that drafting is one of the more interesting parts and would want to start a new roster.

\o/ welcome back, commish!nonnie!

I definitely want to play again, and renewing the league + doing another draft is fine by me. Let the draft order nailbiting begin.
