--Backstrom/Karlsson, because I have countryman feelios and also I wanna see some kind of post-Daniel Alfredsson EK fic. Let's face it, Karlsson had a terrible crush. Alternatively: Hedman/Karlsson.
--gonna cheat and put Quick/Brown here because there's 2 fics but the pairing doesn't clear 5k ;___; They played for USA together a little and Quick was sort of like Brown's rookie (he lived with him his first year) and they're both scrappy, blue-collar style players. I just want all the post-captaincy angst and kissing and angst about Quickie's injury...
--Pastrnak/Marchand or Pastrnak/Bergeron/Marchand!!! Liney chemistry and Pastrnak is the sweetest while Bergy is the nicest and Marchand is Not That. Pasta has gap teeth and a nice smile and he's just the best and no one writes him :(
--One draft ship that I hoped would happen and didn't: Matthews/Laine
--One draft ship that could be cute that I have hope for: Hischier/Patrick (meme, Nolan Patrick is distractingly pretty).
--Kucherov/Palat without Tyler Johnson, because I wanted fic from the WCOH (where Palat accidentally cross checked Kucherov) and also because they were lineys for a lot of the year.
