OMG, I am completely overwhelmed by FEEEEELINGS. Seriously, there's an RDA of Geno, and if you go over it, your heart explodes. MY HEART HAS EXPLODED. WITH JOY.
ISN'T HE TERRIBLE LIKE THAT??? I just want his parents to like, conduct a seminar. HOW WE CAN ALL RAISE OUR CHILDREN TO BE PERFECT TEDDY BEARS OF HUMAN BEINGS 101.
HE IS HE IS. GENO, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE THIS WAY? I CAN ONLY HOLD SO MANY FEELINGS.
Maaaaan. My Best Beloved and I were trying to figure out what everyone's His Dark Materials type daemon would be in hockey RPF, and we agreed that most hockey players have wolves - they hunt in packs. But Sid has a polar bear, which is probably the result of being a massively threatened and harassed outcast while his daemon was settling. CLEARLY GENO ALSO HAS A BEAR. A BIG BROWN BEAR.
...We also think Patrick Kane has, like, a ferret, and is regularly mocked for having a daemon no other hockey player would be caught dead with. We've maybe put too much thought into this.
OOH, DAEMONS ARE SUPER-INTERESTING. I do have to disagree with you and the BB, though. I think hockey players would have very different daemons. I'd be surprised if they had any non-carnivorous daemons, but I think they're a bit more multifaceted than that. And I have thought about this a lot, because A Person Who Shall Remain Nameless is scribbling a Harry Potter AU and so I (because I'm a nerd), went through and figured out the wands for, like, the entire Blackhawks organization. And it was a lot more diverse than you would think! Though I totally agree that Geno's would be a grizzly bear and Kaner would have some sort of ferrety creature. Like, Tazer I would think would be some sort of owl or maybe a raptor. Solitary, majestic, judgmental. I'm not sure Sid's would be as big or as outright aggressive as a polar bear. Sid's always reminded me a lot of a cat, though I think he'd probably be something more like a bobcat or lynx. I MEAN I COULD KEEP GOING WITH PRETTY MUCH ANY PLAYER, but basically I would say that yes, all carnivores,

They are adorable! Looks like I have acquired a new sports fandom. Last one was tennis, also acquired here on LJ. Oh, you writers... you entrap us with your passions!
This was incredibly sweet and funny. I hope I can find games streaming on ESPN; I'd hate to have to get a TV after seven or eight years of living happily without one... Thanks for the intro! \o/
You'd think he wouldn't mention Crosby in Russia because almost nobody here cares about or even knows him BUT NO. He does. Randomly. Yes, Geno, we've heard all about Sid's amazing work ethic already. Thanks so much for the primer, it was wonderful except for all the magnificent bullshit about shooting on the streets. Mistranslation I swear))).
TOTES FORGIVEN. And, uh, I may have been saving pictures and links ever since I wrote this (from new stuff, and I keep adding links in if I find old stuff) so this is obviously going to be a thing that I keep adding new parts to because HE KEEPS VISITING ORPHANAGES AND RUINING MY LIFE.
Also he did a Q&A (unfortunately I can't find a better source) where he talks about his DREAMS FOR HIS FUTURE CHILDREN (and if they're going to play hockey or not) and also, you know, his feelings on how Sid is the greatest in the world. He has no idea why people ask him so much about Sid! MAYBE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SHUT UP ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM, GENO. MAYBE. THAT'S. WHY.
