Sidney's the icon just because he's the focus of this snippet of a fic. Sometimes, fiction really hits home, and this is one of those instances.

( Fiction hits home in real life sometimes. )

Yes, it's a bit early, seeing as the preseason hasn't started yet, but why not draft players who will get hurt within 2 weeks of them being on my team? The Hockeywitch can start taking out players in preseason ( Read more... )

I have too much to say to put this on twitter, or on FB, and FB isn't really where I do my hockey ramblings anyway, I've found. I've been rather... remiss... in my ramblings about hockey lately. I should fix that.

Well... we're back in Pittsburgh, and the Pens haven't lost at home in this year's playoffs. And that hopefully continues, because I'd wager to say that this game is a must-win for Pittsburgh.
