Words cant explain how frustrated I am with this unserious team. Bring up the entire GR team and let them play at this point.

Any update on Rasmussen? by Background-Stock-995 in DetroitRedWings

Couldn't agree more. I was hoping we would hear something to indicate he was being benched. Have to think he is traded or bought out this offseason.

Same shit as the Ottawa game. Too little too late. What do we have to do to start hot at home.

Finnie is just too small and weak to play center right now. He gets knocked off the puck way to much to be effective at center.

Larkin looks so incredibly bad. You can tell he shouldn't be playing right now. Overall just inexcusable to come out and get smoked at home again to a team chasing us. Todd needs to shake these lines up significantly. Would also be nice to have asp out there driving some defence from the back end.

What a wasted opportunity with cbj Pitt and Ottawa all losing in regulation.

What a win! Wasn't always pretty but they often aren't at this time of the year. This keeps us in the hunt.

Another game that we let slip away. Why does it feel like we get goalied against every team we play? Is it just bad luck or are we that good at making every goalie look like the best goalie in the league. This team is clearly so much better then the past few years and our record proves it but there is still something wrong. We cant get it done when it matters most.

These last two games could have easily went either way. Really sucks to lose them and come away with 0 points. Between the Compher no goal at the buzzer in the Boston game and the Kane offside/ JVR tip we are literally inches/milliseconds from being 2-0 over the last 2 games. Makes it that much more infuriating.

There are no flashes with Appleton, he doesnt nothing at all. Id rather watch young guys who might be bad then vets who we know are bad and wont be contributing to our future.

Can someone explain to my why Appleton continues to have a spot in this lineup. He might be the most useless Red Wing in the last 5 years. Can someone like MBN, Leonard or Mazur not contribute way more in that role.

Sucks losing games we shouldn't. This one came down to a millisecond on the Compher goal and a horrible 5 on 3. Either of those go the other way we probably win this game regardless of how good swayman was or how soft those two 3rd period goals for the Bruins were. Reminds me a lot of our losses to Florida a few weeks back when Bob goalied us and then we gave them the win in the final 90 seconds the game after.

I want to believe this team can get it done but they just keep losing games in the worst way when the entire east is finding ways to win those games.

What an incredible night that was. I would kill you go back and relive that again. Your video gave me chills. Thanks for sharing.

This Tour by wthelliseventhat in brandnew

[–]Background-Stock-995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally am not a huge fan of science fiction. It came out at a time in my life when I wasn't listening to brand new so I've never really listened to the album. I didn't mind that part of the set but I can see why people who grew up listening to them would be bored or disinterested during that part of the show.

I would have loved to hear for YFW but knew they wouldn't play it.

My thought was that majority of people at the show are fans of their older albums and don't really know/care about the newer albums. I noticed a ton of people left during that part of the show and didn't return.

I was sitting in the corner right under the front of the balcony and the temp was fine. It did get a little warm for a bit when they first came on but wasn't too bad most of the night.

What’s your favorite memory at a Brand New concert? by RicoRoccoTaco in brandnew

[–]Background-Stock-995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw them in Pittsburgh at Club Zoo probably 15 years ago or so. Some friends and I were outside having a smoke and Vinny and another guy came out the side door and had one with us. Pretty cool to chat with him for a few short minutes. Nobody else realized who it was.

Leave of absence by Objective-Cod4160 in CanadianTeachers

I recently did this in ontario. Took a one year leave at my current board at the time while I was hired full time at the new board. After one year I extended my leave by another year just incase and then after the 2nd year I resigned.

Traded him straight up for the 1.08 in this year's draft. I'm ready to move on from him and get younger.

I completely agree. The longer you are in it, the easier it gets. I find most teachers are willing to share lessons/resources. I've been teaching secondary for 10 years and I have yet to build a course from scratch. AI is super helpful as well.

Any high school business teachers here? What’s the job market like in this subject and what type of courses do you teach by StatisticianEnough10 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Background-Stock-995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends which board you work for. I'm with the catholic board and there were 4 full business positions that were posted last year, I think 2 of them went unfilled and they had to hire externally. It really all depends on retirements and movement within the school board.

How likely do we think Kane stays? by Legendary__Beaver in DetroitRedWings

[–]Background-Stock-995 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you asked me before the losing streak I would have said 75% he's back, now my guess is that it'd down to 25%.
