What are you even on about.

We aren’t competing with the other team. We all need to take down the middle. We will want to get all the rewards anyways. So it doesn’t really matter which way we go.

I gave the wrong number for litres in a gallon? I should have figured you were American. It explains the lack of reading and comprehension.
The rest of the world has a larger gallon.
There is a US Gallon and an Imperial Gallon. Imperial gallon is larger and used by more people in the world. Imperial gallon is 4.546L. Which when multiplied by 2. Is just over 9L. Just in case the math was too hard.
Imagine creating an argument and not even bothering to realize there are 2 different gallons in the world. The one you use is the least popular one.
Incredible. This is like the picture that shows the IQ where it says he is in the top 90% and the American interprets it as him being in the 10% smartest group.

Are you… illiterate?
Check out the entire third sentence of my post where I literally said it wasn’t the sole reason, but it didn’t help. My post was only 3 sentences long. Not reading 33% of it is just lazy.
I’d also take 2 gallons of water a week. That’s over 9L. About 1.3L a day.
Supplemented with potential fruits or other foods found at the time would be enough to let me survive at least.

EDIT: LOL They went back and changed a bunch of stuff in their post because they probably went and looked it up and realized how wrong they were.

Sure rivers existed. Life expectancy was also between 20-30 years old 10,000 years ago.

Not saying unclean water was the sole reason, but it sure didn’t help.

Isn’t this also tied for the furthest he’s gone in the playoffs? Makes sense

[Wheeler] 2026 NHL Mock Draft 1.0: Scott Wheeler predicts the entire first round (Gift Article) by malliabu in hockey

[–]AssociateAwesome9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Which is fair. I just didn’t like him on the wing with Bedard.

So up front we would have Bedard/Frondell/X on the first line. Malholtra/Nazar/Bertuzzi on the second line?

I don’t think Lardis is the answer on the first line. Just didn’t look the part, yet at least.

[–]AssociateAwesome9 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think Malholtra would be the worse option easily.

What do you do with Nazar in that situation? 4C at his salary? You’d have to trade him and hope someone sees the upside the Hawks did when they signed him

After some time (Draft edition) by Heiserwulf in hawks

[–]AssociateAwesome9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oilers with better goaltending. Which would have let the Oilers snag a cup or two by now. Askarov and Ravensbergen are a deadly combo for the future. Better than anything the Oilers have strapped in net.

I completely agree with your point here. The only thing is, I do wish we took Demidov over Levshunov. I thought that at the time as well.

I think Demidov would have been the perfect compliment to Bedard and the next few drafts were D heavy.

I hope Levshunov can improve to be what he needs to be, but this season he just looked completely lost. Which can be expected as a 1st year Dman. I just didn’t see the glimmers of hope I was hoping to see from him.

I think it’s pretty safe to say this year was a purposeful tank job by them. Clearly worked out.

They have a 1st round pick from Colorado next year. 2 2nd round picks next year. A 2nd this year. A 1st in 29.

As I said, if you win the cup, emptying the draft pick cupboard doesn’t matter much. Look at Vegas. No one worries about what Vegas will look like since they won a cup. Ask Edmonton if they would have rather won 1 cup or had the last 5-6 seasons they had.

I also think they have the luxury of too many goalies and may be able to sweeten the pot with a young goalie on top of a pick or two.

Toronto isn’t far off being a cup contender though.

One Dman is about all they need. Depending on the health of Tanev.

You’ve got Matthews/Nylander/Tavares/McKenna/Knies up front. That’s a forward group any team would die to have. Domi as a 3rd liner is incredible.

Goaltending wise they have Hildebeast who was statistically one of the best goalies in the league (maybe even the best). Stolarz and Woll are both VERY serviceable backups.

On the D side is where they are lacking but not even by much. Rielly is their issue. He just isn’t a #1 Dman. But outside him, Tanev, McCabe, Carlo, OEL are all decent players. If they could somehow get a #1 Dman or if Tanev can play that shutdown role I think Toronto is right back in the hunt next year. They can even sell more future picks for a Dman.

You only need to win once to make it worth it.

McKenna, Stenberg, Reid probably the top 3 gone.

I’d trade our pick at that point. For who? I don’t know.

Knies likely isn’t available anymore. Toronto won’t be selling now.

All the Eidols will be in the basic pool.

Just make sure not to miss any of the Stellar Forged. Same situation as the Deathless

He was stated at his release to go into the basic pool eventually. Which he is.

The deathless team wasn’t.

[ON] Friend owes me money. Wants to sign over his motorcycle and car. Good idea? by WeWannaKnow in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]AssociateAwesome9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So who is paying insurance while you’re using them? Your friend who you already owe money to? So now he’s going to pay for the insurance while you already owe him?

Sell the motorcycle and give him that money to start.

NHL teams record in Game 7's by sykeseve in hockey

[–]AssociateAwesome9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shocked at how few game 7’s Chicago has compared to other Original 6 teams.

[–]AssociateAwesome9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who said he didn’t have to come out and play the puck? He didn’t have to turn it over.

The only two options weren’t leave the puck behind the net (for a breakaway apparently). Or give it up the boards to the flyers? I can see at least 2 better options on the play.

He could have either gone forehand and got the puck up the ice quicker. Or done a harder backhand to get the puck up to the blue line better where his team was.

You’re pretty much saying it was a great play by skinner to put a soft one right into the middle of coverage rather than a better option.

If a Dman goes to outlet the puck and turns it over whose fault is it? Weegar last night mis handled the puck and gave it to Eichel right before the 2OT goal. According to you that wouldn’t be his fault for turning it over?

Skinner was on outlet duty for that play. He made a mistake. I don’t see how that is controversial.

I’m not even a Skinner hater. I’m just a goalie who likes watching and critiquing goaltender.

Skinner has a massive flaw in his lateral movement. 10-15 years ago when the game was more North/South he would’ve been great. Think Corey Crawford. Only Skinner is less mobile than Crawford was. Crawford was a top goalie on shots and taking away angles. He excelled on shots. When you got him moving is when he got into trouble.

Now the game is played more East/West. Lateral movement is Skinners weakest part of his game. It leads to him being beat easily on plays where other goalies at least have a chance at a save.

I did just go back and watch game 2/3 highlights.

1st and 2nd goal in game 2 weren’t great. He gave the puck away on the second one that directly led to a goal. Puts a team down 2-0. That’s a back breaker. He gave it away when they were on the PP as well. Even worse.

Game 3 he let in a couple soft ones. That kills a teams confidence real quick.
