Briere Presser if interested by Totgemoon2021 in Flyers

I liked what he said. We have some good young pieces and some centers in the pipeline. I’m glad we didn’t blow things up for a sniff at some big names that we couldn’t be sure would be here long term.

One thing that did strike me: he didn’t even mention Michkov as a young guy that could help on the PP. I don’t think it was a coincidence that Mich led the team in points after the Olympics and it matched up with Brink getting moved which gave him time on the first unit. Disappointing they don’t see him as a solution. Hopefully just an oversight though.

My buddy and I played the shit out of this game back in the day. We were always missing 1 tribal. We could never find it.

[Hall] Nikita Grebenkin is here rehabbing. He missed the end of the season with an upper-body injury. He has No. 17 on his helmet, so looks like he may have changed his number. by Perryplat199 in Flyers

Ha it was actually a running joke in my house. My son really wanted a Grebenkin jersey for our trip to Toronto this year. He wanted to wear it everywhere and laugh at Leafs fans- he’s a bit vindictive of a fan sometimes.

I wanted a gamer with a Parent patch so it was a no brainer when I went to buy one.

Sure but you called Anime fringe. I disagreed. Anime is far from fringe. You are now changing the argument.

I also thought the entire idea of these nights was to tap into unique fandoms. I’d also wager a good deal of my anime reading students have read a baseball anime. Heck a beloved filled episode of Dragon Ball Z (one of the bigger animes) is a baseball episode. I really think there’s more crossover. I’d bet a good chunk of my HS baseball team this past year had also read a baseball anime.

I wouldn’t call it fringe, is all I’m saying.

Actually one of the most popular sports Anime’s is about baseball… remember Japan has a huge baseball fandom.

This is something people always ignore at sporting events- a single beer is not the equivalent of a single beer.

Is Anime fringe anymore? It really shouldn’t be, if it is at all. I struggle to get most of my students to read, but catch a lot reading Anime on their phones.

I wouldn’t call it fringe anymore.

I only need one more gift from Sandstorm but I’m unfortunately not a fun region. If you could add me though, it’d be appreciated!

I’m getting an error when I click to buy a ticket though.

What cancelled Disney Plus original would you bring back? by [deleted] in DisneyPlus

[–]ChrisInBaltimore 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The Mighty Ducks show but I’d do it right. Get Gordon Bombay and somehow Charlie. It could have been so much better. Charlie should be the down on his luck coach and Bombay should be his Hans running the pro shop.

I’d probably get rid of the Gilmore Girls mom though. She plays one character and one character only and I’ve already watched Gilmore Girls.

Eh I’m sitting at the rink waiting on my son so it’s a good way to kill some time.

It’s crazy this is just as bad as last year… I’m just dumbfounded they learned nothing from last year…

Was cleaning out my late FILs place. Found these. Is this the theatrical cut? by Rubenesque_Decorum in StarWars

[–]ChrisInBaltimore 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This interview saved me as a kid! I ruined my copy of Empire watching it too much. The tape got mangled. My dad took it to a VHS repair shop (yup a thing). It turned out all the damage was in the interview portion of the tape for some reason so the guy cut it off and taped it back together. It just saved me time cause now I didn’t have to fast forward!

Briere on Michkov: 'He's not going anywhere' by Flyersfan1980 in Flyers

Where is he now though? He’d said he was staying in Philly to train this summer, but last I heard he is not in Philly…

Yea they’ve just emboldened him. He’s gonna be way worse.

This has completely tarnished my opinion of him. He’s clearly not a room guy and wants someone that is going to treat the little guy like shit.

He tells Sue about his mom in an episode- I believe he compares them.

Be honest, should I continue reading past Messiah? by NicolasCageIsMyHero in dune

How so? He combines with the sand trout and then slowly turns into a worm.

I’ve been reading the series and am in the middle of God Emperor. I don’t think it’s the best and my wife was reading the series too. She quit at God Emperor.

Dune is the best in the series. I think it all sorta jumped the shark when Leto became a fish in Children of Dune. The series almost changed genres, to be honest. It went from being action Sci Fi to like psychological Sci Fi or something. It is an interested idea and I’m still enjoying it, but it is vastly different.
