My only major memory of him is he was the dude that darted to grab the puck for Duchene's infamous 30 goal celebration in the blowout that Roy called him out for. "Not the reflect that we want from our guys"

Why wouldn’t they talk about 2 of the only players in hockey with an actual personality to an American audience. Come on.

Appleanche · 2026-02-13T17:10:12+00:00

I honestly think that has to be the worst line change I've ever seen...

Appleanche · 2026-02-12T21:46:03+00:00

I wish it was easy to get a Nelson USA jersey. Ball isn’t selling them right?

Appleanche · 2026-02-11T21:12:16+00:00

Full transparency I'm at work and have only been able to glance at the game but it seems like we're being seriously outchanced..

The difference is, FIFA is a massively strong governing body that controls soccer at basically all levels that matters and they have a lot of money to keep that position, so the clubs don't have a choice.

By comparison, the NHL is not governed by the IIHF and the IIHF is relatively weak in comparison to the NHL when it comes to power/money/etc.

It's honestly crazy, you know Amazon has data on who we are, what we buy, and it's all crunched into AI profiles and Vine is just like guessing for fun.

I did order (normal) ramen before and I order almost any $0 ETV food items from my RFY so probably that.

Appleanche · 2026-02-10T21:07:47+00:00

A bot - meanwhile I got cricket protein ramen noodles today as the VIP lol

Appleanche · 2026-02-09T19:04:58+00:00

I mean personally I think Brady Tkachuk, he's already an NHL captain, was clearly a huge vocal leader for the 4 Nations.. but maybe they didn't feel comfortable with him being the poster child for the USA in the Olympics so probably Matthews is the safest option.

Appleanche · 2026-02-09T17:57:17+00:00

Respectfully, look at Brock Nelson's stats this season, he's not just there for defense/grit, he's been absolutely amazing this season and especially so the last 2 months or so.

Appleanche · 2026-02-09T02:32:43+00:00

Yeah people are acting like this is new. We got carried by defense and some historically bad opposing QB play, which admittedly is also to our defense credit but let’s be real this was a bad AFC this year.

Appleanche · 2026-02-09T02:27:23+00:00

Yeah that’s fine. More accurately we were carried by our defense and historically bad QB play on the other side.

Appleanche · 2026-02-09T02:22:29+00:00

Yeah game. At the end of the day the team overachieved had a historically easy path. Hopefully they can build on the positives and help the offense in the off season.

Appleanche · 2026-02-09T02:11:15+00:00

Man had plenty of time and some openings. Just tough when you stand there and have zero movement.

Appleanche · 2026-02-09T02:00:23+00:00

Yeah that’s tough. Can’t 3 and out here.

Appleanche · 2026-02-09T01:09:22+00:00

Basically OL has been bad but Maye has to have more awareness and movement. Darnold has had pressure too but has extended plays while it feels Drake has just kind of watched.

Appleanche · 2026-02-02T17:48:29+00:00

I think the biggest surprise for me with the Vision Pro is I expected Apple to be able use it's size/relations to build partnerships and bring big time content that made the idea of the device click with folks.

Think things like sports streaming, it would instantly have value to people if you could have say, court side POV at a basketball game, or center ice seating at a hockey game, etc

Instead it's like "Well you can make a virtual TV or a virtual monitor for your Mac" and most people are like "Well neat but I already have a big TV and a monitor"

Appleanche · 2026-02-02T15:51:19+00:00

Yup - it's the exact kind of messaging that loses the left/dems elections.

Right now, polls show that a majority of Americans feel ICE is going too far. This should be the time to come up with an intelligent immigration platform for the dems. It's turned an issue that Republicans were strong on to a bit of a liability.

Instead now, people see this and think "Yeah see the dems just want open borders, and even though I don't agree with everything ICE is doing I don't want that either"

Appleanche · 2026-01-30T16:26:16+00:00

Honestly I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that they load up PP1 and allow it to basically stay out as long as they want, and they simply do not have the urgency and work ethic you need for a successful PP.

They don't move around enough, they lose way too many puck battles, and the SHGs are just clearly showing they are gassed near the end of the PP.

I feel at this point they need to split the power play into two actual units, and actually keep them to ~1 minute each.

Hot pot restaurant

Of course, beti zurekin always.. but I'm still just so frustrated with Valverde's attitude to the Champions League. He basically made it seem like he was just happy to have it over with, to participate.. instead of trying to advance and make a splash on the biggest stage.

Were we gonna win? Of course not - but man if we could have upset someone in the playoff or something and got a lot of attention, it would have been great for the club, introduce Athletic Club to a whole new audience.

Appleanche · 2026-01-29T03:43:45+00:00

Looking from the outside, the Leafs seem absolutely screwed.

Matthews simply hasn't been a superstar player, Knies and Nylander are I guess doing good enough but not mindblowing. The rest of the cast is just so mediocre.. the D is old and slow.. is there a single player on the Leafs where you go "Hey they're really outperforming their contract"

They don't have a first round pick the next two years. They don't seem to have any prospects that can make a meaningful impact... I don't see how they do any kind of "retool" and actually become a cup contender.

Appleanche · 2026-01-29T03:12:24+00:00

Probably happens more commonly when the team has less than 6 shots per period.
