is there a(nother) fangirl in the house?

Dear people with experience in hockey RPS: is the immediate Crosby=>Ovechkin association something typical of civilians too, or is it a fandom thing? Inquiring minds want to know!

[Background:

A roommate: It's playoffs!

Me: *busily typing out tentacle porn* Cool, what sport is that?

A roommate: Hockey!

Me: Oh cool, I have friends who are so into hockey smut. I think they are into Crosby?

A roommate: Meh, not my team, but speaking of Crosby, have you heard of Ovechkin?

Me: ...I might have read a smutty fic or two about them, yes.

And now she's strutting around the house wearing an awesome pendant: Ovechkin's face photoshopped onto Oviceraptor(?) dinosaur, raising the household quotient of fannish awesomeness by about 200%.

I want another fangirl in the house! But sports geekery counts anyways, I guess.]

I mean, I'm just saying here's Crosby and Ovechkin dressed in skin-tight clothing bring a birthday cake to the hockey league's chief disciplinarian. (Yes, that's a thing. There's a chief disciplinarian. There's also something called the combine where 17 year old boys' bodies are measured and evaluated so the stats can be passed on to their future owners. Literally. It's a beautiful fandom to be in.) Like, that is a thing they've done, in real life. The shipping takes care of itself.

Ahaha, yeah, I remember that part from our conversations! It's like a dystopian AU, only real, and with super-expensive ship promo materials. *deeply impressed* Truly, a marvelous fandom if ever there was one.
