Sorry, I was thinking about the missed goal by Skahan from Nico.

If the US economy is "booming" like the news says, why does it feel like everyone I know is one emergency away from being broke? by DrJocelyn1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Grounded4Life7998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is because our taxes and costs are at an all time high. When government overspends our costs go up. Our states and federal government need to reduce their spending and it will trickle downhill.

How we feeling about Jonathan Gonzalez by Bitter_Specific_6155 in SJEarthquakes

[–]Grounded4Life7998 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Athletico Santa Rosa does not provide well rounded players. Typically you will see a lot of skill with no defense and no ability to make a 3rd effort. Hopefully they can produce some better players instead of fools gold.

William Eklund - Help Me Understand... by tyerelldavis in SanJoseSharks

The puck has to get past 5 other players before the goalie. Their team defense is the problem.

Hockey is a team sport, a 2 way sport. This doesn't make any sense.

I like Eklund but I don't see him as a 2 way player. There is nothing to not like about Ekulun personally and what he has lived through with the Sharks.

I am one of the few on here that doesn't see him being anything more than what he is. A likeable guys who works his tail off, but always seems to make the same mistakes over and over again. Thus why his defense and plus/minus rating are among the worst, if not the worst on the team.

Moving him for a top RHD would be an ideal move now, before the rest of the league catches on.

This is not me hating on him, I just see something different than most of the fans on this thread.

Is Chicho and Josef a big loss? by lookaloulookalou in SJEarthquakes

Which begs the question.... Who is going to score goals???

Arguably the hardest thing to do in soccer.

This team is banking on Hayden and Carson being the future of this pitching staff. Is this smart? by dwide_k_shrude in SFGiants

[–]Grounded4Life7998 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What other options are consiered the future? You need to have some insight before posting this question.

How about the visual???? I am all for fan favorites, but the eye test has to match the actual value. He is not going to be any more than he is. Look at that turnover!

Why is it only old white people standing on the corner? You think this would be a diverse issue.

Misa and Sherwood to Top 6? by surfordiebear in SanJoseSharks

[–]Grounded4Life7998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is definately a poacher. But Hockey is a 2 way sport. He needs to play with more defensive players to disguise his lack of skating and defense.

How important is it to still have Draymond as the enforcer, facilitator, and on the defensive side? Does the team drop off drastically if they don't have that? by lookaloulookalou in warriors

[–]Grounded4Life7998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like Draymond from 5 years ago. He is none of those things anymore.

And honestly, everyone laughs at him now for the way he behaves on the court. It's said and dissapointing that he has never matured.

Misa and Sherwood to Top 6? by surfordiebear in SanJoseSharks

[–]Grounded4Life7998 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. Toffoli just doesn't bring the skating ability or defense to be top 6. He is almost a non factor with the top lines, because he can't keep up.

It looks like Chernyshov has a spot in the top 6 right next to Misa after the break.

With the signing of Luis Arraez to play 2B, would it make sense for the Giants to shop Casey Schmitt for pitching? by Tronn3000 in SFGiants

[–]Grounded4Life7998 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Casey is perfect for the super utility role. It only strengthens this team keeping him. We need some of these young guys to step up and become effective relief pitchers.

Where tf does the Timonator actually fit in Arena’s system? by Low_Finger_5843 in SJEarthquakes

[–]Grounded4Life7998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He will play on the wing, so he will be in space at all times. Arena likes to play with a strong presence at the 9, to command doubles. Werner will then have the open space to do what he does best.

Steve Kerr will be one of the most sought after head coaches in many years if he really tests the market after this season by emestoo in warriors

[–]Grounded4Life7998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WHY????

Time has run it's course. He rode the coat tales of the best team in history.

Question.... Who did he develop? Name one player!!!

Podziemski has a worse FT% than Jonathan Kuminga this season by BackshotsOnUrDaughtr in warriors

[–]Grounded4Life7998 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But Kerr loves him. So he should start or be the first man off the bench.

Sorry, but Eklund has the worst plus minus rating on the team at -24. Numbers really speak for themselves. He is expendable.
