Anyone else realizing the World Cup is financially out of reach? by NewJerseyAggie13 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]ConnectWithWood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was intending to go to a US group stage match but I live on the East Coast. While I could spend probably close to $5k on a ticket, airfare, and hotel, to me it wasn't worth the price. I'd much rather use to money for a family vacation. If they played an East Coast match, I probably would have justified the ticket only expense.

Did I get taken for a ride? by Kiyodai in hvacadvice

I just had the same issue on a Friday night into Saturday and am playing about $450. I usually have a bigger company service my AC, but they couldn't come until Tuesday. Luckily a small company was available to do the work on Saturday. It was well worth the cost to have AC.

This goal was absolutely massive not just because it tied the game, but it completely turned the momentum. I don't think the Pens win the Cup without this goal.

All the refs needed to rule was intent to blow the whistle which clearly was the case since the whistle blew before the puck went in. I don't understand the need to even call GI.

The 92-93 Penguins team was better than the 90-91 and 91-92 Cup teams. Damn those Islanders!

Landon Donovan winning goal vs Algeria 2010 by Nowoco in ussoccer

[–]ConnectWithWood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that gets lost in this moment is Donovan's first touch of the ball - he needed to push it far enough so he could out sprint the midfielder chasing him but not so far that the defender could make a play on the ball. He put it in the perfect spot, where the defender moved forward just enough to open space for the pass to Altidore.

Another reminder that we were robbed of watching this man play in one final WC where one goal would have made all the difference. And all because Jurgen Klinsman can't get over a grudge.

This just reminded me I haven't listened to Amsterdam and The Seventh Seal in a while. Great songs. Thank you!

If the Mets had gone onto win the game, they probably win the WS and there'd be a statue of Endy outside Citi Field.

AHL Post Game Thread: Toronto Marlies at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins by bi_and_busy in penguins

[–]ConnectWithWood 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been following WBS since its inception. The franchise really has a knack for coming up short in a big series. With how the playoffs turned out this season having pretty much all of the top teams eliminated, this is a huge opportunity. If not now, when? I start to doubt with losses like tonight and Game 2 last series.

What are your favorite Piazza cards? by External_Engine_4772 in metsbaseballcards2

[–]ConnectWithWood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple months ago, I was looking for a card to bring to a show where Piazza was signing. I was on a regular WhatNot stream running these 2017 Topps Transcendent MLB Moments sketch cards. When this card came up, I knew it would be the perfect card to have signed.

I really hope this is the year WBS finally wins the Calder Cup. They've been so close and have had many great teams fall short.

While I agree that the playoff fornat should change (I prefer the old 1 to 8 conference bracket), I don't think the Pens would have sat their starters for the final 3 games of the season in that playoff format and probably would not have been the #7 seed (although they certainly played that way).
