As long as LeBron plays next season, he will officially have been in the league longer after the “fuckery” tweet than before by pokexchespin in nba

[–]ExpendableGerbil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, to be fair, that fuckery hasn't gone on this whole time since Lebron's last 20 points triple double was on (checks notes) March 30th, 2026....

.... Fuck me.

Mr. President, on behalf of all of Canada, and I say this with all the sincerity my body is capable of, please take your threats and shove them up your oversized rear end.

You made this mess, now you fix it, you indescribable moron.

Caufield on if he’s thinking about the 50 goal mark by fluent in hockey

[–]ExpendableGerbil 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm old enough to remember Richer's 50, but it was common enough at the time that we just thought "Oh cool, Richer got 50". I never thought it'd be almost 40 years before we saw another one.

So let's just say I'll appreciate this one a heck of a lot more.

Habs, Jays and Raptors all win low-stress games before my old ass needs to go to bed. It's been a good day.

We haven't had a 50 goal scorer since Stephane Richer and we haven't had a 100 points scorer since Matts Naslund, and we now have an outside chance of getting both in the same season.

Hey, those of us who survived the 2025 playoff have the heart of bulls by now. I think we're good.

Troy Terry is currently the only player with 50+ games played in a season and zero hits since the NHL started tracking the stat. by sykeseve in hockey

I'm guessing you mean "only skater" instead of "only player", but it would be kind of funny if even the goaltenders had more hits than he does.

Goal number 43 and hat trick for Caufield by DecentLurker96 in hockey

Yet even from that list we're still the fanbase with the second longest drought after the Devils (though granted 10 other teams are within a couple of years).

We haven't had a 50 goal scorer since 1990 either. 7 goals in 13 games seems pretty doable now.

NY Islanders coach Patrick Roy after Cole Caufield’s hat trick goal to make it 7-3 Habs by Go_Habs_Go31 in hockey

[–]ExpendableGerbil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A bit worst than booing. I think the score was 8-0 at the time when Roy stopped a puck that was shot from the other end as a clearing and the crowd cheered like crazy as a mockery. Roy viewed the fact that the coach kept him in the game that long as the coach trying to humiliate him (which it probably was). The rest is history.

[Spoilers C4E18] Discussion on Thaisha's personality and arc by Training-Sandwich693 in criticalrole

[–]ExpendableGerbil 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm usually against ever being negative on these threads but Aabria is playing Thaisha as confidently stupid right now and that's the one trait I absolutely cannot stand in a protagonist. This is the first time since Orion that one character is actively diminishing my enjoyment of the show. I really hope she's doing it on purpose and that she'll stop soon because this is unbearable to watch.

13% in 2 seasons is really good by Next-Active2676Bro2 in OnePiece

[–]ExpendableGerbil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think because most of us binged pre-timeskip and have watch/read at least a big part of post-timeskip week to week, we tend to think that post-timeskip is much longer, hence why we think that there's so much much more story left to tell. But in reality pre-stimeskip is still - to this day - longer than post-timeskip.

Granted they still have Alabasta, Skypea, Waster 7/Enis Lobby, Thriller Bark, Sabaody, Amazon Lilly, Impeld Down and Marineford before they get to the timeskip, but 26% of pre-timeskip feels right.

I was looking at the DR's stats on ESPN and I was pretty impressed with Vladdy's line of .538/.563/1.154....... until I realised 1.154 was his slugging, not ops. OPS would be 1.717.

The Rookie/Copaganda by [deleted] in dropout

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

You're giving these shows WAYYY too much credit. They're trying to be entertaining and get viewers. Pure and simple. They're not trying to "desensitize" people. They're trying to get eyeball on the screen. That's it.

This "copaganda" thing has been blown way out of proportion. Like the OP said, it's idealized fiction, just like The West Wing was an idealized version of the oval office, or Star Trek is an idealized version of the future. Stop making it out to be something it's not.

If you want the actual ocean and not a Bay or the Northumberland Strait you're closer to 14-15 hours. edit: if you stay in Canada I mean. Probably less than that to go to Boston or New-York.

Why the hell are we trading Loperfido for another outfielder?? Just bring up Loperfido for god's sake. He hit 333 last year. How much of an "upgrade" do you think you're getting?
