Re: Fic Discussion - Jultz
From: (Anonymous)Right, but I talked about what I would do (I'm here, obviously), and appealing to meme was just one of the things I would try, if I had a burning desire to write an AU where knowing another team would obviously be important? Even if I am just writing a quick game scene, I will look it up to see if the person I'm putting on the PK might realistically play on the PK. I haven't done a crossteam fic in awhile, but when I did, I looked up rosters/interviews/descriptions of previous games, etc. I'm not saying there's no way I could ever get anything wrong, but it's not like it's completely impossible to check yourself on details. Again, the person sub thread OP complained about missed info available on Wikipedia. That's not coming up against a giant dearth of information. That's not caring enough to look anything up.
Re: Fic Discussion - Jultz
From: (Anonymous)I didn't watch any Team North America games, for example. My impression from deke is that Connor McDavid got way too many minutes relative to production and was fine, but not spectacular, whereas Johnny Gaudreau was an amazing star. My impression from the professional hockey pundits is that McDavid was easily the best player on the ice, yadda, yadda, yadda.

From: (Anonymous)Are you the OP? Copying a small subsection of a comment I already read that does not answer my question is not helpful. If you're trying to indicate that you're annoyed by both the commenter and the author, that's great, but it still only gets at some of what I was asking.

From: (Anonymous)IAWTC, it's not as if meme, and meme's choice of performance metrics in this case, is unbiased either. People tend to be really conveniently selective about what "objective" stats they'll cite to ~prove their biases are correct. I've literally seen, in the same conversation, someone argue Ovechkin was better than Malkin and Crosby combined in this year's Pens-Caps series because of point totals, but Kuznetsov was also really good because of advanced stats, his linemates just couldn't finish.

From: (Anonymous)Re: Random Hockey Stuff
From: (Anonymous)http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/corey-perry-has-rare-chance-to-join-niedermayer-in-hockey-history
In all of the history of the game, only Scott Niedermayer has won a Stanley Cup, Olympic gold medal, World Championship, World Junior Championship, Memorial Cup and Canada/World Cup title. Perry can join him if Team Canada can win three more games in the tournament.
[snip]
What Perry is on the cusp of accomplishing is something rather special. Sidney Crosby, who has won everything but a Memorial Cup, lost to Perry’s Knights in the final in 2005.
Maybe Crosby can get his Oscar doing the skating stunts for a movie about Perry's life.
Re: Fic Discussion - Jultz
From: (Anonymous)I'll give more context, that might help - the fic covers a long timeline, so I'm not objecting to the author namedropping Giroux as a big cheese in the latter sections. Just the mention in 2010. (Sid asks Geno if Giroux sent him over to fight him.)
However, the commenter seemed to think that Geno made Giroux unnecessary and he shouldn't even have been included at all.
Really I'm just being petty. It's not a huge thing.
Re: Fic Discussion - Jultz
From: (Anonymous)Thanks! Honestly, I'd think it was weird to ask any player if another player sent him over. That's not how fighting works.

Re: Random Hockey Stuff
From: (Anonymous)Yeah I think if it was the flatter look of Stanley C Panther or Gnash it wouldn't be as weird. Cartoony-ness helps a lot to make them less scary.

From: (Anonymous)Injured blocking a shot, took a puck to the foot, out for 8 weeks (and lbr, that's probably a minimum). Grr.
I hope he at least gets to hang out in Toronto for a bit longer and cheer on Team Europe. One of the things that I realized the other day, though probably not as close as Brassard & Hagelin were with him, Gaborik is yet another friend-teammate of Zuccarello's that got traded away from him.
