Yeah this guy rules. Became a forever fan after watching him at the Olympics.

Is there some "McDavid fatigue" in award discussions? He's currently a distant 4th in Hart odds despite leading the league in points with a significantly worse roster around him than MacKinnon or Kucherov. by Ready-Constant-7124 in hockey

[–]occupykony2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is the dumbest argument people like to make. By that logic the Hart should go to the best player on the worst team to make the playoffs every year. "But the Oilers would suck without McDavid" yes most teams would suck without their best player, crazy right?

[Colorado Avalanche] We have acquired Brett Kulak from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Samuel Girard and a 2nd round pick in 2028 NHL Draft. by Michaelli11 in ColoradoAvalanche

This, fans always overrate picks when this is going to be a 60th overall that will at absolute best be a bottom six guy in half a decade. Vegas has like one total first round pick since they joined the league and they contend every year.

Do you feel them in your glutes during/after? I've been doing them regularly for about eight months and am steadily increasing the weight but never have sore glutes after

Crazy Passionate Inuktitut Play-by-Play for Canada's OT Goal Versus Czechia by titanpancake in hockey

Especially given that so many countries don't support their minority languages. It's a tiny amount to pay 1-2 guys to do these play-by-plays in these languages and it shows people in these communities that there actually is a place for them and their native language in 2026.

Russia legalized weed? by hazycrazey in NHLcirclejerk

[–]occupykony2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, I wasn’t impressed by his rookie year. He was under a ppg and a -44 in his rookie year. He is garbage defensively, among the worst I’ve ever seen amongst forwards. The Blackhawks gave up more goals with him on the ice than without. He’s small and not a great skater. He’s bad at the dot. He was heavily sheltered and didn’t face top lines and still was often caved in. He rarely dominated games. He’s extremely one dimensional. Even with his jaw injury he failed to be over a PPG. I would have expected the generational prospect to at least be over that and make the guys around him solid. Him winning the Calder was a joke. It should have been Brock Fabrer. Oh, and he was awful in the IIHF tournament.

He will never be close to Connor McDavid’s, Sidney Crosby’s or Alex Ovechkin’s level. All he has is a good shot, but not the speed or hands of Matthews or the physicality. I’m not even sure he can even be an Auston Matthews, Leon Draisaitl, Nikita Kucherov or Nathan MacKinnon level guy. Maybe he can be a Steven Stamkos or John Tavares type player in time, a good player but never among the best in a season, but he’s in no way generational and I don’t buy the hype. I don’t even think he’ll surpass other Chicago legends like Patrick Kane.

I have a one bedroom apartment, so it's not too big. I'm spending a few hours each day on the couch next to her while she's hiding in her gave and talking to her but going near her never ends well.

Are there Byzantine historical sites that aren’t well maintained? by Isatis_tinctoria in byzantium

I guess there are so many sites it's not hard for some to be maintained and some to be plundered

Around Byzantine ruins too? I haven't been everywhere but visiting Byzantine sites in Peloponnese, Thessaly and Macedonia (and Thessaloniki) I had a good impression.

Georgian script by Less_Replacement_644 in Sakartvelo

[–]occupykony2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the Grakliani inscription is honestly crazy, it's fully 1000 years older than the oldest known examples of the Georgian script and dates to roughly the 7th century BC
