[sergeifyodorov]

I’m curious because of how you rank Cale, who do you think are the top 10 players in the league? (We can exclude goalies because they’re such an entirely different skill set but would love to hear their separate ranking)

oooh ok this is. an inchresting question... under the cut bc dashclog Et Cetera.... the cody sergeifyodorov unoffishul players rankings at This Very Moment In Time. get mad at me if u want idk let's dance

number ten: sidney crosby. Old Man Still Has It, More At Ten

number nine: david pastrnak. arguably -- and i am going to argue it -- the best pure shooter in the league. the reason hes not like theee goalscorer of all time is bc he generally lacks puck carriers/space creators/isn't much of a puck carrier or a space creator of his own, but like. based off shot alone? hundredth percentile.

number eight: elias pettersson. two way centre... the usual vancouver oish% boost but also just a fantastic dual threat AND a legit lady byng candidate with a penalty differential big enough to severely boost his value just based off that. like imho there's nothing that petey is specifically Good At (like how pasta is a pure goalscorer) but he's basically got no weaknesses. and hes gay

number seven: cale makar IS very good. conn smythe norris etc but most importantly he did win a hockeyblr babygirl of the year award so theres that too. some crazy bobby orr pointgetter. real good defensive results too. like hes crazy good and they say hes crazy good for a reason

number six: ill concede. leon draisaitl

[GAP OF PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SIZE]

number five: quinn hughes. i don't know what fuckass magic this sad little man has. decent finisher. great playmaker. best power play quarterback in the league. makes anyone who plays with him appear to be "oh shit, this guy's a great partner for hughes!" (i have seen this with at least 5 diff players, not one of whom anyone would consider Quite Good on their own.) L + ratio + oish% + makar has devon toews + youngest captain in the league + you bet that conn smythe and norris combo is his soon enough

number four: nathan mackinnon. best dual threat in the league (no one who's a better passer than him is a better goalscorer, and no one who's a better goalscorer is a better passer.)

number three: nikita kucherov. i want you to do something for me. i want you to go to espn dot com. i want you to go to espn dot com slash nhl. i want you to go to espn dot com slash nhl slash team stats tampa bay lightning. it should be sorted by points for you. there's dearly beloved creepy eyes keeta right there in first. 94 points as of me writing this. crazy number for right now. wolfboy of all time brayden point should be in second. take a look for me rn at the difference between those two in points. what the fuck

number two: auston matthews. is this leafs bias? sure. im a leafs guy. im just saying that he's a better goalscorer than ovi in his prime, and he's a centre and great defensively too. i could tell you that he is fifth all time in goals per game, and two of the four guys ahead of him were born in the 1800s. i could tell you that he has 48 goals in 52 games right now, and 0 empty netters. i could tell you that if you only counted goals he scored when the leafs were down one or tied, he'd be in the top ten in goals this year.

[GAP OF PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SIZE]

number one: connor mcdavid. he has almost as many assists as the second-best in his draft class (mitchell) has points. he has 930 points in 620 games. he is the only player in the salary cap era to have a 150-point season. idk there's just fuckin . no one like him. like generally an untrained eye can't really see how much better or faster any given player is than the rest but like. you can with him. he just Looks a step ahead of the pack. top five all time, and he's in his prime rn!!!! lets go connie all my homies love connie

i feel like tumblr would enjoy the products of the first time i took adderall, in which i decided suddenly i wanted to watch hockey and choose which team i watched based on AO3 Men’s Hockey RPF (Real Person Fic), M/M pairing statistics.

anyway

CONCLUSION The most popular players to fic ratio is not correlated to the number of Stanley Cups. The correlation between general popularity and AO3 popularity seems hit or miss. The Bruins, Red Wings, Rangers, Canucks and Kings do not have any players in the top 10 on A03, despite being in the top 10 most popular. The Blackhawks are the exception- taking in to consideration multiple Patrick Sharps cannot exist at the same time- they have the most players in the top 10 on AO3 and are also the most popular team. The Penguins have two players and are the 3rd most popular. THe Maple Leafs have two players and are the 7th most popular. The Flyers are the 8th most popular and have no players, if Patrick Sharp is in his final form.

Position as a captain or alternative captain seems to give you a distinct advantage as all top ten players on AO3 were either role at some point.

Nationality may over-represent Russians in fic. There were no Swedish players in the top 10, despite there being almost twice as many Swedish players as Russian players. This is taken out of context of teams, however, and has a low sample size for popular players.

This is not statistically noted, however on further research Olympic medalists make up the top four most popular players on AO3, along with 2 other players in the top ten (3 including Fleury). Skill may be a factor in AO3 popularity.

"Sidney Crosby" is tagged in more fics than "Sidney Crosby/Evgeni Malkin" and is, as a whole, the most popular player. "Jonathan Towes" is the second most tagged player, despite "Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews" being the most popular relationship tag. "Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews" and "Sidney Crosby/Evgeni Malki" and their respective players seem to be the focus of Men's Hockey RPF on AO3. Both of these tags are of their respective team captain and alternative captain. All of the top five most popular relationship tags are between team captain and alternative captain. Three of the top ten most popular relationship tags are between (alt.) captains and non-captains.

Colorado Avalanche defeat Edmonton Oilers to take Game 1 of Western Conference finals

Colorado Avalanche defeat Edmonton Oilers to take Game 1 of Western Conference finals

Jared Bednar dared Connor McDavid to beat his best players.Image: Getty Images You have to hand it to Avalanche coach Jared Bednar. He does have one of the best checking centers in the NHL at his disposal in Nazem Kadri. It would be easy, explicable, and defensible to just toss Kadri over the boards every time the Oilers put Connor McDavid out there, and be done with it. After all, it’s pretty…

Ok but now I need all your thoughts on who are Jonny’s kids and who are Patrick’s;

Jonny: Riley, Hagel?

Patrick: Alex of course, Stromer?

I can’t sort Kirby, he’s ✨ their tall child ✨

WELL.

I second your observations here. Hagel is an interesting one because I've always thought he physically looks like a cross between Jonny and Patrick (he is the real lovechild). Like he has Pat's hair/complexion/scruffiness etc but he has Jonny's eyes. I'm not sure which one he's closer too, but probably Pat.

Kirby, I associate more with Jonny probably because of the similar stature and demeanour (ie more 'stoic')

I think of Strome as a Pat child just because he's more sensitive (several teammates have commented on this).

Kubalik and Kurashev are both Team Toews.

And other players are based on vibes because we don't see much of them:

Jonny: Reese Johnson, Borgstrom, Hardman, Gaudette (gone but not forgotten)

Patrick: Entwistle, Slavin, Lankinen, C Jones, Ian Mitchell
