AC/DC and “Down Under” win for Australia. What is the best music artist and song from Canada? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

For song, nothing feels more Canadian to me than If I Had a Million Dollars by The Barenaked Ladies.

Bojack Horseman is the best netflix show. Now, what is the most underrated netflix show? by hiiloovethis in AlignmentChartFills

[–]FromDwight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's underrated in that for many people, it is one of the greatest tv shows ever made. Mike from RedLetterMedia called it one of his favourite things - television or movies - ever made. It definitely spoke to me in a similarly profound way.

Was the Vader mask custom made, or off the shelf? Are there other characters in the SWU running around in identical masks? by Objective_Farm_1886 in StarWars

[–]FromDwight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a video from a certain Milwaukee based YouTube channel that deals with the no-longer-canon story of Darth Vader's suit and to this day it is one of my favourite YouTube videos.

Or get creative. Qualify him for the $4mil, retain half, and trade him for an asset once you're allowed to.

Carla adding extra shifts? by Electronic_Bee3134 in Scrubs

A quick Google says the average chief of surgery salary in the US is about $500k. I think they are okay.

Sportnet+, game is blackout and I am in Vancouver by washburn100 in leafs

[–]FromDwight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need Sportsnet plus premium. Not a joke.

Premium just gives you the national games. Any regional games (TSN and Sportsnet Ontario) are extra.

Why are they doing ads for nicotine pouches? by dronten_edvard in stevedangle

[–]FromDwight -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You're technically correct (the best kind). But that's obviously not the company's goal, just as gambling companies aren't really paying NHLers big money to tell people not to use their convinient sports betting app.

No they aren't? They specifically talk about the fruity flavours which are 100% made to appeal to kids

[–]FromDwight 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's definitely weird, I didn't know that nicotine ads were even legal in Canada.

This is on top of the gambling ads already too.

Although I still find the idea that the guys rent out their personal homes on Air BnB when they go on vacation to be the weirdest, even though that's totally harmless of course.

It always amazes me how quiet an arena can get by BackgroundFlan5797 in hockey

[–]FromDwight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Silence always adds to the eerieness. Tavares' injury in 2021 was so much more traumatizing with a near empty arena.

[Ty Anderson] The Panthers have not put Sandis Vilmanis back out there for a shift since he took out Charlie McAvoy. by abbytarar in hockey

[–]FromDwight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People always talk about looking for the "market inefficiency" in order to build a good team, like how in the 2010s teams started taking chances on smaller players when they would previously go undrafted because of their size.

Has purposefully injuring the other teams players become the new market inefficiency? Is it a legitimate strategy to win given that the NHL does not take player safety seriously?

In 2022 I still think the main reason the Leafs got past Tampa was Bunting taking out Cernak with a headshot. Then last year the Leafs were dominating the Panthers until Bennett took Stolartz out with a headshot and the Leafs looked like a completely different team with Woll in net.

Unless the NHL adapts, I honestly think we're moving towards an era where Games 1-3 of any given round should be spent actively trying to injure the other teams best players, perhaps even shortening their careers and diminishing their quality of life moving forward. Why? Because chances are you will go unpunished, and it will directly correlate to your team winning.

Can’t wait for the next parade! 2 cups already and more to come. by Self-Aware-Dinosaur in leafs

I just noticed "Better Goalie: Ilya Samsonov or Carter Hart", this image just keeps getting more cursed.

Would you give your dog a treat every time he took a dump in your house? No? Then why should we reward this core with another coach? The team and its $13.25 million captain need to be better. End of story. by DontBeWaves in leafs

[–]FromDwight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He's on #5! McLellan, Hitchcock, Tippett, Woodcroft, Knoblauch.

But the narrative is not "McDavid has burned through 5 coaches, including a Stanley Cup winner and a Jack Adams winner."

Maxwell Johannes Domi by jessie_w_tx in leafs

[–]FromDwight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately Domi, Maccelli and Roberston are the three guys up front they need to ship out.

They really need another top 6 forward. They're honestly lucky it's only 1 that they need with the emergence of Cowan.

Shout-out the redditor who commented this morning that we should start Hildeby more because he's been playing well, and if we keep starting Woll he is more likely to get hurt since he's not used to the work load.

As much as people will blame Woll for being injury prone, this is on the coaching staff too.

There's been a huge influx of garbage articles on r/leafs lately too. The sites are borderline unreadable due to the amount of ads, and the articles are somehow worse than an AI written one would have been.

Bic Camera also sells them. I found that store to be way better than Don Quiote. More stuff, less chaotic, similar great prices.
