The US has some amazing talent that's going to be up there but they are all under 23

This feels pretty right to me. Especially since my team and the other teams I'll root for are all sorted into the same house.

Though, I think in the Chayka era at least, Yotes are Ravenclaw. And I'd switch Avs with Preds too.

Carey Price, probably? He's not a cinch but if his career doesn't derail he's probably in.

NA

I hate all of drouin's draft era interviews So Much, and while I can allow that he almost certainly has to be different in the room/on the ice and that hockey dudes have different standards for who's fun to hang out with than I do, I would also 100% believe it if someone told me that drouin is just bad enough at people that he's all ego and bluster and fucking terrible at making friends until someone more gregarious reaches out to him first and makes him chill.

Re: Ask Meme

This is so odd. What do you hate about his interviews?

I'd say his best were with Mackinnon, I think he brings out his personality way more. (To be fair Mackinnon kind of does that with everyone.) But his solo ones just made him seem like a quiet kid with not much to say.

AYRT

...you might not be able to tell this from the way the lists are laid out, but the Avs, Preds and Yotes were the three I was most undecided on (the Devils are only at the very end of the Hufflepuff list because I always forget about them when I'm listing teams, poor buggers), so I'm absolutely open to alternate interpretations on them! And I'd certainly entertain arguments about most of the others...

Re: Ask Meme

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm just talking about his solo interactions with press. Just something about his tone in the first few I watched put me totally against him in a way that, for instance, none of this year's draftees did when they were evaluating their own game.

As for the ones with MacKinnon being good, that's precisely my point.

Re: Fic Discussion - aparecium by oops_ohdear

As a Devils fan, the fact that they're Hufflepuff makes perfect sense, ESPECIALLY because people forget them.

As what?? A good goalie in the regular season who's usually hurt in the playoffs but has won some short tournaments with the national team?? I don't disagree that he's a good goalie. But I'm not sure he brings anything to the table accomplishments wise to get in.

Re: Fantasy hockey - Team deleted?

[(Anonymous)]

So I just got an email saying my team was deleted. Commish!nonny, shed some light on why? Was I supposed to go and say "hey, count me in" on an email that didn't go through?

Oh, fuck, I didn't parent up enough. Too many all nighters. Oops. /Shrugs

Yeah, people debate about Lundqvist, and he has a Vezina, an Olympic gold and silver, and good playoffs stats though no ring. If Price gets a Cup in Montreal it might be different.

I have two more nomination spots if anyone has a pairing they missed out on adding!

Re: Exchanges, etc - Hockey Holidays

Killorn's like a big brother to him and they train together during the summer.

http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2015/03/16/drouin-et-killorn-de-vieilles-connaissances

Killorn: "I have a special bond with Jonathan. I've known him since he was 12." / "Now we live in the same complex in Tampa and we play for the same NHL team."

(And now they both train with Joseph Veleno.

http://www.rds.ca/videos/hockey/veleno-sur-les-traces-de-drouin-3.1113577

Veleno: "I want to become just like him.")

(He's not a teammate, but Duclair's a friend and they train together during the summer too.

http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2016/03/30/une-oreille-pour-drouin

Killorn: "I talked to him often, but I didn't force him to do anything. It wasn't my place to tell him you have to do this or not do this. Everybody wanted him to come back. I told him we would welcome him with open arms." / "I know the veterans would be happy to see him back. He's a good guy, he's nothing like a 'bum'."

DA

Lundqvist debate is crazy to me if only because if you leave him out I don't see who you can justify putting in any goalie who entered the league in the past 10-15 years. Luongo might be the only other one in the conversation. Lack of longevity will hurt Thomas.

Re: Ask Meme

[(Anonymous)]

Killorn seems to be good with 90% of the team, which I suspect is at least part of the reason why Yzerman kept him around for 7 more years. Friendship is the best intangible.

If you still have room, Leon Draisaitl/Connor McDavid please. They're the pair I cut because I didn't have room and Team Europe keeps giving me Leon feels.

Re: Exchanges, etc - Hockey Holidays

da Team Europe needs more publicity stuff, I didn't get any shipping ideas like I wanted :( (lmao always on the lookout for people to ship Leon and Mats with...)

Re: Fantasy hockey - Team deleted?

C!N

If I erroneously deleted a team, I am SO SORRY! I double and triple-checked my e-mails and the league message boards to ensure I wouldn't delete someone who said they wanted to play again.

Did you send me an e-mail that didn't get through? Was it bounced back for some reason? There's nothing in the spam filter. There is still time for you to rejoin one of the leagues (A or B). If you're having trouble reaching my e-mail, please drop a sock e-mail here and I'll send you the signup link again.

I really do apologize. :(

Wasn't Thomas 37 when he wont the Cup? That seems like a pretty long-lived career to me.
