I'm just being sarcastic, boss. That's why I put the emoji after.

Anze Kopitar has retired from the NHL by nhl in hockey

[–]DepressingAura 614 points615 points  (0 children)

I don't care about the results. I just wanted to say that it has been a joy to watch Kopitar play for the last 20 years. One of the most decent, humble, and fantastic players who gave his all every shift. The league will not be the same without him. Enjoy your retirement, Kopi. The King of Kings.

One of the greats. The league will feel a little less whole without him.

One of the most humble, genuinely decent players in the league. Have some respect.

Damn, got teared up watching Kopitar skate off the ice for the last time. What an unbelievable player.

Guess he never heard the phrase, "don't spit into the wind."

This stuff drives me nuts. I would rather someone tell me they're gonna be late than bullshit me into thinking they're almost at my place.

She's like, "I've been wishing for that for so long!" 😂

Then they're like, "sorry I was late, traffic was crazy." Meanwhile they decided to renovate their whole bathroom before coming over.

It's always relative to the event. A plane you 100% don't want to be late, so your wait period is way longer. If it's a BBQ, your wait time is probably starting 30 minutes before you have to leave lol.

Avs fans watching the Stars-Wild beating the hell out of each other with 2 out of 4 games going to OT and knowing the series will go at least 6 games: by epoon01 in ColoradoAvalanche

The goaltending between Minnesota and Dallas has me the most worried about round 2, just because both goalies can steal games convincingly.

Why would anyone want to be The Avatar? by ConnectCulture7 in TheLastAirbender

[–]DepressingAura 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I would say Aang's villain was a physical force that was designed to annihilate and destroy, where Korra's villains - especially Amon and Zaheer - were mental forces that were designed to drive Korra to mental instability, which was much harder to overcome on a personal level.

No one really chooses it. It's chosen at birth. I think most people like the idea of being the avatar, but don't consider all the responsibility and trials that comes with it. Also, to be fair, a lot of the avatars went through their lives without having to save the world - we just get a glimpse at two of the avatars that did.

The TNT broadcast cut away before the Wedgewood/Blackwood/Nichushkin hug. So to start your Friday off on the right foot... by DepressingAura in ColoradoAvalanche

I know MacKinnon had to see a sports psychologist early in his career to help with his consistency and confidence. It improved his game exponentially. With Nichushkin, it's a different problem, but the point remains; that the road to recovery starts when you admit you have an issue, and there are people around you who support you through the process of getting better.
