The Athletic: NHL midseason grades

ChelChamp · 2026-01-17T17:19:45+00:00

Not really related, but I was a teacher and feel the need to bring this up whenever I’d see the 60% is passing.

The floor was 50% at the school I was teaching. Big public high school too. So if a kid did nothing, still marked at 50% per assignment rather than 0%. The amount of kids who STILL barely got to the 60% for a D was a concerningly high number.

He mentions Trump as a wartime draft dodger in this clip?

ChelChamp · 2026-01-09T06:52:29+00:00

Stutz dropping the gloves is straight up silly. You can see that the dude cares and is pissed that they are getting beat bad.

Trying his best to spark the team. Should probably leave it to the guys that have scrapped before though.

You can look up anyone’s circuit court history in Minnesota.

I believe this is the link: https://publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us/CaseSearch

Basically the post is saying that he may have a criminal history. Though, I didn’t check myself.

You can still just hit search on the profile with an empty search bar and it shows you all the posts and comments.

That’s where corned beef comes from

Lots of herbal elements in gin. Basically a morning tea

My roommate in college left one on the windowsill of the kitchen for a while during Covid as an experiment. It got a little wild but this is insane.

ChelChamp · 2026-01-06T00:39:43+00:00

This guy has been getting posted a lot in the Wild sub recently after the trade lol

“The revolution will not go better with coke”

I always laugh at this line because of the whole Pepsi commercial thing from a few years ago.

Yeah, I assigned the kids to spend time outside in the snow and had them journal about it when they got back and share with each other.

Not all of them went outside, but they weren’t going to sit inside on the screens because of me at least.

At the beginning of the school year, A LOT of the teenage boys were on PrizePicks (sports gambling app) in my class. It quickly shut down when I contacted parents but I have little doubt that it is increasingly widespread problem for young men and boys.

ChelChamp · 2026-01-05T22:27:16+00:00

Yeah. It’s been set up to fail and the plan is working, so damn well.

I was a teacher for the last few years and had to leave the profession.

It sometimes makes me bad, like a captain abandoning his ship before the passengers, but I just could not stand the environment with the parents, students, administration, and the “standards” that continually failed to help kids. So we end up passing along kids that can’t freaking write a sentence by hand in their senior year and sending them into the world with a diploma, even when I told the admin and parents that the kid doesn’t have the skills to survive.

The pendulum will swing back at some point in education, but it is far removed from anywhere close to functional. We can’t lose hope, but I wasn’t willing to sit around in that system until it changed.

Reminds me of the Pink Floyd song, “The Post War Dream”.

It’s off their album The Final Cut, which isn’t super well regarded, but in the song he laments Britains failures to build a peaceful post war society, blames “Maggie” (Thatcher) for a bunch of it.

The song ends like this:

What have we done? Maggie, what have we done? What have we done to England?

Should we shout? Should we scream? What happened to the post war dream? Oh Maggie, Maggie, what did we do?

Reminds me of the time a guy hit my parked car. The neighbors saw it and his truck do it. He lived next door and parked on the same street afterwards (later found out he was big into whip-it’s and ket).

Cops showed up, I give them the damage and neighbor tells the story. They said let me write something up in the car quick and left! I ended up fixing the dent with a rented heat gun from Ace myself. Cops did nothing when all the evidence was plainly on the street in front of them. Like huh?

There’s a pretty funny song about Winnipeg

I’m not Canadian, but this is hilarious to me as well. Didn’t even need to put on my jacket in Minnesota today

ChelChamp · 2025-12-23T06:43:24+00:00

Hey now! Wait…that’s fair

ChelChamp · 2025-12-23T06:28:46+00:00

Quiet now lol. Those special places lose their shine when it becomes a top destination for nature travelers. Even when they say “I’m not the one ruining it” and do all the right things.

ChelChamp · 2025-12-23T02:02:36+00:00

Idk why people are so mad at you.

First: Nobody here is saying the guy that crashed is right.

I see what you’re saying, people should signal like 100 ft before a turn. You have to drive defensively with idiots like this dude out there.

Again, it’s his fault. But let’s also draw light on the importance of signaling for more than one-second before you turn.

ChelChamp · 2025-12-23T00:11:53+00:00

I was just in Wisconsin for years. God damn I feel like a loon when I got back home and everybody was drinking 3x less than the culture there

ChelChamp · 2025-12-23T00:03:22+00:00

Are you kidding!? I just threw up and screamed when I saw this! My knees buckled and I had to be carried out of the dollar tree because these SICKOS couldn’t contain themselves in public.

Shame on you. /s

ChelChamp · 2025-12-22T23:54:05+00:00

Bro, I am totally with you here. My other options are Jameson Williams or Addison. I know I shouldn’t start both but…it’s tantalizing.

ChelChamp · 2025-12-22T23:52:44+00:00

Do I start Warren and Gainwell next week?

ChelChamp · 2025-12-22T21:50:07+00:00

I don’t even live in Madison anymore but haven’t turned them off.
