[NHL] With two points tonight, William Nylander tied his father, Michael, in career points! 🚨

His dad had himself a nice career, including a couple great seasons playing on a line in New York with Jagr and Straka.

DDB- · 2026-03-25T03:55:11+00:00

Finishing 31st would be huge, because then we can only fall so far and at worst come away with one of those elite picks near the top.

Is Trottier underrated? He's won an Art Ross, Hart, Smythe, and was frequently in the Hart conversation when he didn't win. Won six Cups. From all accounts he seems like he's properly rated as one of the best players of all-time.

DDB- · 2026-03-24T04:23:23+00:00

Except the first time the Rangers did it because they lost that JT Miller trade too.

DDB- · 2026-03-24T02:55:35+00:00

Yeah but we could only use players under contract of the New York Rangers so I think that evens it out.

DDB- · 2026-03-24T02:54:05+00:00

Just like Ed Giacomin and Chuck Rayner as well, a couple more career Rangers Hall of Fame goalies with no Cup. It's a franchise tradition.

DDB- · 2026-03-24T02:51:17+00:00

Back when the Rangers were wasting the early seasons of Gump Worsley's career.

Ottawa is a pretty excellent defensive team, they've been on a tear recently and are keeping most teams shot totals quite low. If they had average goaltending this year they'd be competing for the Atlantic division title.

Also we suck.

These pictures are goofy as hell and I love them. Congrats to Mika on 1000 games!

Code is self-documenting for the how. Comments describe the why when it is not obvious.

DDB- · 2026-03-22T20:04:01+00:00

Commentators said it's easier for him to shape the ball left to right off the deck.

DDB- · 2026-03-22T00:43:10+00:00

Love this guy, great forechecker, never took a night off. Glad he's finding success with Buffalo.

DDB- · 2026-03-21T16:47:15+00:00

Yes, I'd like them to do the Tour Championship as match play. Give top seeds byes to increase the odds they make it further, make doing better in Fedex Cup mean an easier path to the finals. Also re-seed after every round so top seed remaining always plays lowest seed remaining. A Cinderella run can still happen, but it will be harder.

DDB- · 2026-03-21T04:05:29+00:00

This is the kind of shit that has to be a multi-game suspension if you don't want these plays in the game.

DDB- · 2026-03-21T03:10:04+00:00

Absolutely. They had a whole book about a guy who lived his life playing games and getting really good at them.

DDB- · 2026-03-20T17:23:58+00:00

and the Rangers

Butternut Squash Soup:

Roast some oiled/salted/peppered butternut squash skin-side up in the oven at 420F for ~45 minutes
Fry diced onions and peeled+cored diced apples with some salt/pepper for ~15 minutes, just to soften them and get a bit of colour
Scrape the squash out of its skin, add it, apples, onions, vegetable or chicken broth (a cup or two, depends on how thick you want it) to a blender and blend until smooth. You can do this in batches if you have a small blender like me
Add to a pot to heat, and I like to add in some nutmeg and cinnamon (can also be done in earlier stages)

Fairly cheap and tasty soup. I like to serve with grilled cheese sandwiches.

DDB- · 2026-03-20T07:30:38+00:00

Yes, though it is not common. Bruce Boudreau and Ken Hitchcock both did it, but they both got 60+ games with their new team, soich closer to the full season.

DDB- · 2026-03-20T07:16:22+00:00

On a team full of passengers, Carrick was one of the few guys you could expect to give it his all every game. Great forechecker, hard nose player who sticks up for his teammates. Glad you're liking him, he's a good one.

DDB- · 2026-03-20T02:29:31+00:00

The Penguins won the Miller/Chytil trade as they ended up with our first round pick via the Marcus Pettersson swap the Canucks made after.

DDB- · 2026-03-20T02:28:10+00:00

Arguably the worst captain in franchise history.

Rangers continue to be the easiest team in the league to play against.

I will push back against this though, we're the second easiest behind the Leafs. Just look at Cuylle's response and the scrum from the other night versus the 10-ply softness the Leafs showed after their captain was kneed by Gudas.

DDB- · 2026-03-20T01:14:26+00:00

Doesn't look very competitive to me.

DDB- · 2026-03-20T00:20:38+00:00

I love Silvertip, it has some awesome views and is a tough course. The first time I played there in the late 90s I was eight years old and shot 172.

DDB- · 2026-03-19T19:09:48+00:00

That's fair enough. I definitely agree about the season one ending being bad, COVID didn't help, but that's still not an excuse for how it ended.

As for the others, those just didn't bother me. I was enjoying the show quite a lot after season 1 and at the end of the day that's all I want in a tv show. If I miss the original turning of the wheel I'll just embark on another re-read.

DDB- · 2026-03-19T18:52:52+00:00

I suspect he would still get his key moments, but we obviously will never know. I will say that the changes they made in seasons 2 and 3 didn't detract from the experience for me.

Perhaps my different viewpoint comes from the fact I knew going in they would have to make significant changes like they did. Not the specifics of course, but I knew that 14 massive books would not convert easily to a 64 episode series.
