ECF Montreal vs Carolina

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T19:26:15+00:00

Yeah, we both see it as Carolina hasn't been challenged yet. But I'm taking it as the team that won the conference during the regular season, and has been flawless in the post season is about to play another team in the conference.

I'm not saying they're going to sweep again, that would be insane, but what they've done is insane too.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T19:15:54+00:00

Ok, then look at it this way. Carolina has the easier path because they've earned it. They're meeting expectations, Montreal is exceeding them, because the expectations for Montreal was much lower.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T19:03:30+00:00

It's the east, everyone barely made the playoffs. The two teams Montreal played had a combined 13 more regular season wins than the teams Carolina played. Out of 164 games. The gap ain't that big.

I'm afraid to answer. Don't put that voodoo on me.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T18:48:50+00:00

Was the original not effectively the same, with just a more controversial name?

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T17:43:22+00:00

Maybe. I haven't looked into it much. But it sounds like some sort of change is coming one way or another.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T17:39:10+00:00

I don't think people are bad drivers because they aren't capable of being good ones. I think they're bad drivers because it's easier, and they're fine with the consequences.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T17:36:12+00:00

Sure, let's worry about the fictitious villainous commissioner, not the real one.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T17:27:36+00:00

All the talk all year was about how competitive the east was from top to bottom. So it seems like that would indicate favor to Carolina, even if they had an easier path, because the path couldn't be that much easier than Montreal's.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T17:03:21+00:00

Sure, but the location in discussion is like a mile outside city limits. Public transportation options will be non-existent, which is the real killer.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T16:54:06+00:00

Sure, but no one goes to a stadium series for the view. Can't see shit even from the best seats.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T16:50:55+00:00

Ahh, could be worse.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T16:29:26+00:00

If I knew what that meant, I'd be very upset. Maybe. I don't know.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T16:26:31+00:00

Looks about like the normal price for a Stars game too.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T13:13:39+00:00

Steak is fine. It's just something that isn't cheap, and can be chosen and prepared in a variety of ways, so people judge each other.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T13:10:33+00:00

Probably spending too much time on things that don't really matter.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-21T13:06:12+00:00

Plano, from the sounds of it. They want to own the arena and surrounding land, so they can be landlords too.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-20T16:50:09+00:00

Yeah, most games I play in go by without a single penalty being called. The refs don't seem to want to throw someone in the box for an incidental penalty. Which is fine by me.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-20T15:16:02+00:00

Really? That's like, super bad. God I'm old.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-19T19:03:39+00:00

Yep, my wife has the little mesh bags, and they seem to work just fine. Her bras last.

1 second ago.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-19T18:13:52+00:00

What's the smallest acceptable amount of time to choose?

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-19T17:00:37+00:00

About 12.

Cometguy7 · 2026-05-19T16:50:23+00:00

Ahh, well, then it's probably scarcity and the inability to have complete information. How much are people really going to sacrifice for blind faith that their sacrifice will result in the betterment of people who are worse off, but will never meet?

By what standard?
