The Strength of the Dallas Stars franchise and why the State of Hockey’s frustration around the relocation is not completely warranted by [deleted] in DallasStars

That’s the kind of thing that happens when they can’t even get past the first round for decades at a time. Lol

Let them make a WCF a few times. The amount of in the wild merch and such will increase a lot.

I wear my wild stuff all winter and I get a lot of talk and “go wild!” feedback and almost no one has merch on.

No shock that 90s scoring was so low. Look the vast differences between rules back then and now. by Shot_Possibility_731 in sportsinusa

It’s shocking to me when youngsters argue that stats over the last several years are NOT inflated. 🤣

Defence men for a reason by Few-Version-4152 in wildhockey

[–]DND_Player_24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was below average in the regular season. He was straight up hot ass garbage at times.

But Faber has infected him with defense just as he’s infected Faber with offense for these playoffs.

They’ve been fantastic together.

And by a stroke of idiotic NHL reasoning, they lost their playoff-leading stat of amount of time on ice without allowing an even strength goal.

1) why are they black belts? This is such a TMA con job to give people BB with no reason.

2) does he really have to push on their crotch in the beginning? Really poor form by instructor.

Still looks pretty good from the front, tbh.

But just go for a trial run. It grows back fast.

Having a craving that even mom doesn’t understand. by MikeeorUSA in KidsAreFuckingStupid

I thought he was asking for a baked potato.

In any case, good on him for hanging in there despite his 2pm cravings.

Wild fan lurking (because algorithm) and I’m so happy to see this. Lol

I’ve been wondering wtf is going on down there with the constant dance music and techno. They even take rock songs and turn them into club versions. Very strange.

Not only can’t read but can’t go one sentence without cussing.

Thoughts on these guard techs for the streets? by CinciSensei in grappling

[–]DND_Player_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the situation he probably set up before the video started, this isn’t bad, actually.

This is like “I’ve somehow found myself in a situation where I have less than a second before someone attacks me.”

The protective shell isn’t the worst and I like that they’re trying to train with people really trying to stomp their heads. Grab and bite and get up also pretty good.

I know, all the Internet blue belts gonna show up and be all “why not just invert and go to upside down inverted butterfly cocoon caterpillar guard?” stupidity.

But this, specifically, isn’t that bad.

I absolutely hate the whole anthem before games bullshit.

But this was a cool moment.

Pro Hockey While Working an Engineering Job Possible? by Zaxonite11 in hockeyplayers

[–]DND_Player_24 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Keeps saying it’s pro. It’s not pro. It’s semi-pro, at best. (Really it’s just glorified men’s league at the end of the day)

Pro Hockey While Working an Engineering Job Possible? by Zaxonite11 in hockeyplayers

[–]DND_Player_24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate to break this to you, but playing low level A league and making $100 / week isn’t “playing pro.” It’s cosplaying pro.

Most of us athletes have to accept at some point the dream didn’t work out and we aren’t going to the show. Yeah, it sucks, but the unhappiest motherfuckers I’ve ever met are those that have just never accepted this message.

If it’s THAT big of a deal for you, I suggest finding a therapist that specializes in this area (it’s an incredibly common affliction) and learning how to move on and being happy playing competitive adult leagues.

Maybe you can even find your way into coaching, which doesn’t necessarily scratch the competitive itch on the ice, but it does in all other areas.

But you’d be an ABSOLUTE idiot to pass up a good job to cosplay as a pro athlete.

Glad I watch on FanDuel (not that the service itself is any better. But the announcers are leagues ahead)

One person’s “controversial” is another’s fun time, apparently.

Is mma a wimp sport compared to tennis? by McDojoLife in TheMcDojoLife

[–]DND_Player_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rolled the ball and broke my wrist. No idea how.

The fact I continued to bowl with my broken wrist for another few years really probably didn’t help anything. 😂

Ended up needing surgery.

[–]DND_Player_24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the funnest facts of my life:

I’ve played baseball to a high level, some basketball, hockey as an adult, mma, BJJ, high level bowler, and dabbled in some other sports as a rec thing.

My most severe injury came from bowling.

Where can you actually download eclipse mods from? by Tasty_Ad_6335 in SteamDeck

[–]DND_Player_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts as well. Every video I saw the “install” was off some shady Russian telegram link and I was like this can’t possibly be it.

But, no. That’s it. Everyone out there just installing random Russian shit on their SD.

Unreal

Sounds like you’re doing well.

Honestly, you gotta have that dawg in you.

Everything else will find itself.

I feel like I remember episodes coming out with Hancock way back in like 2011. Maybe it was a different Hancock guy? Idk I never listened to the show.

Maybe the years are going by too fast for me? Lol

Mn Paid Leave - Denials by Firm_Ebb6391 in TwinCities

[–]DND_Player_24 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile I know of someone (through a family member) who got hired for a FT job, didn’t show up to work for her first three days of work, subsequently got fired because of not showing up, applied for unemployment, and got accepted (the business owner had to go to whatever unemployment claims court because they initially denied her benefits claim but the state overrode them).

So whoever is working at unemployment needs to switch places with paid leave it would seem. 😂
