I've just spent 2 1/2 hours going down the 2015-2017 rabbit hole of Dallas Stars content. And holy shit am I feeling nostalgic. I miss that freaking team so much. Like yes, this current team is really good. But the old team was just so much fun!
Again at least somewhat coming out of a hiatus!
I already posted a new Tyler Seguin one-shot, so feel free to check that out - or if you're new, check out my oldies! Hopefully they're still enjoyable. :)
Am accepting requests, as most of my requests are at least 7-8 years old. I will still go through them, but I want to make sure I'm still doing relevant players, haha.
Prompts open tomorrow, January 22, sometime between 8-9am pacific (whenever I am caffeinated enough to deal with AO3)
I didn't specifically bar any specific players from being prompted or being used in fills in the rules because to be honest I forgot Evander Kane exists, but consider him banned
Mad respect, however, if you prompt or fill Brodie Brazil/Jason Demers
Prompts/fills about non-rostered prospects are allowed BUT you have involve either the franchises or the Bay Area somehow, don't just write Will Smith/Ryan Leonard in Boston and not have the Sharks featured somehow
This is not a challenge for reader insert or Y/N but you are welcome to create OCs as long as they follow the prompt and the rules.
And finally, reminder of the rules.
Any questions, hit me up in the ask or in DMs. Thanks all! See you on AO3 this week 🫡🦈

Jason Priestley has boarded upcoming CBC drama Wild Cards, as the Canadian network unveils its winter slate.
The Beverly Hills 90210 star will play lead character Max’s father and master conman George in the series launching January 10 in Canada. It will debut at 8 pm January 17 on The CW in the U.S. followed by Family Law at 9 pm on the network. Priestley’s recent projects include Eastsiders creator Kit Williamson’s Ctrl Alt Del movie and Viaplay’s Börje – The Journey of a Legend.
Set in Vancouver, Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of Ellis (Grey’s Anatomy), a gruff, sardonic cop and Max (Riverdale), a spirited, clever con woman. It has already been picked up by The CW in the States for next year.
Amongst its hefty winter slate, CBC also unveiled workplace comedy One More Time about a second-hand sporting goods store created by and starring stand-up DJ Demers. Elsewhere, Supinder Wraich and Enrico Colantoni star in Allegiance, a police drama about identity and belonging, policing and politics, and finding truth within the heart of a flawed justice system, while there are Season 3 recommissions for established comedies Run the Burbs and Son of a Critch.
In unscripted, The Great Canadian Pottery Throw Down will launch February 8 featuring Seth Rogen as guest judge, while Travis Dhanraj is set to take up the Canada Tonight mantle on CBC News.
i was thinking yesterday that it seems like a lot of jewish players are defensemen, so i tried to put together a more complete list of active players than i had made before. by “active” i mean players who had contracts within the last season.
we have in total 27 active players: 11 defensemen, 13 forwards (7 wingers, 6 centers), and 3 goalies.
40.74% of all active players are defensemen.
48.15% of all active players are forwards, but 25.93% are wingers and 22.22% are centers
11.11% of all active players are goalies
when we narrow this down to just nhl/ahl/echl/prospects, we have 18 active players: 9 defensemen, 7 forwards (3 wingers, 4 centers), and 2 goalies.
50% of all active nhl/ahl/north american prospects are defensemen
38.89% of all active nhl/ahl/north american prospects are forwards, but 16.67% are wingers and 22.22% are centers
9% of all active nhl/ahl/north american prospects are goalies
so i was kind of right regarding the defensemen. i don’t know... just feels philosophically correct to me.
(nb: while it’s possible i’ve missed some guys, there are a few omissions that were purposeful. i did not include players like andre burakovsky or jason demers on this list--i.e. guys who have been identified as having “jewish ancestry” but as far as i can tell do not identify as jewish or at the very least were not raised by a parent who identifies as jewish.)
UPDATED TO INCLUDE BEN FINKELSTEIN AND STRAUSS MANN. :D
