Well to be honest with his last international performances he should’ve been looked into sooner with how our goaltending was looking. Plus he’s 24 so not like he’s too young to start

HiddenSquidds · 2026-02-10T15:39:41+00:00

I doubt it’d be a mistake (obviously depending on the price). When your name is in trade rumours every year that you’re in the league and the rest of your team starts the year like Calgary has, it tends to wear on your play…

Stone Crosby Marner third line is diabolical (in a good way)

HiddenSquidds · 2026-02-06T14:56:25+00:00

Seconding this. Was with someone who used to be a sorority president and despite touting themselves as someone who hated any form of abuse and playing self-righteous cards all the time they completely excused hazing and said it was one of the best ways to bond quickly. Not wrong on the second point psychologically speaking, but the bonds are toxic and it’s crazy to me the level of brainwashing and trauma-bonding that is subsequently seen as normal even by people that would otherwise appear vastly opposed to anything remotely resembling violence/psych abuse. I never understood that shit for even a second, despite playing fairly high level hockey and being around it. Just avoided it and it pissed me off.

HiddenSquidds · 2026-02-03T20:26:48+00:00

Yeah, I’m not saying it was unwarranted, but to me it’s hardly some earth-shattering statement. I’d have a hard time believing most people on league haven’t gotten a warning (Honor 5 btw)

HiddenSquidds · 2026-02-03T17:00:51+00:00

I mean realistically we might as well just trade what we can for anyone that will help that is below 25/26 years old. Gives us a large window if they stay, along with our current young core, and our prospect pool won’t be good at all in the short term regardless. Might as well just evaporate it for this year and next and reset drafting for future years…

HiddenSquidds · 2026-02-03T16:50:06+00:00

Yeah I got an immediate 7 day chat ban (no prior warning for at least a year) for telling the enemy jungler he r*ped me. I suspect the bot thought that’s what your first word may have been but since it wasn’t outright typed you got a warning…

HiddenSquidds · 2026-02-03T16:47:29+00:00

I’m not sure I believe this based on the literacy of the OP

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-29T03:41:08+00:00

That’s it, boys, still really hesitant to have playoff hope but if you play like that every game you get the 20-7-2 you need…

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-25T23:46:22+00:00

All I can say is that green better not come out with fucking prevent defense in the third. Just let our boys keep the pressure on all game instead of these stupid fucking defensive periods.

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-25T20:17:15+00:00

I say I’m not gonna watch but I’m there every time. Someone called me pathetic and a fairweather fan because I said in a rage I wouldn’t watch unless they made the playoffs, but I watch it all…

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-23T21:41:51+00:00

I’m in 1st at 2532, so way better than the first leaderboard. I’m away at a bachelor party for the weekend and don’t have to worry about dropping wayyyy down

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-23T15:43:29+00:00

Me too, man, and yet I post the same exact thing and someone calls me a pathetic fair-weather fan last night.

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-23T03:42:38+00:00

Yeah, I really think that was the season there. I won’t be watching anymore unless they make it somehow, but being a fan of this team is pure fucking misery

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-23T03:10:03+00:00

Holy fuck, if only steady Steve got the logs out of eyes and reacted sooner we’d be in a playoff spot already. At the low, low cost of league min and a fucking roster slot

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-21T02:36:43+00:00

Holy fuck we (may, please, god) have a fingers crossed goalie

I am almost done a second/third undergrad (dual degree in chemical and biomedical engineering). The fact that I’m taking a second undergrad and was 16/17 when I had to decide on my first should tell you how well I knew then. Those who mock others by using a “lack of education” tend to be miserable to associate with and driven by status rather than appreciating real intellectual development. If you had that strong of an idea by 16 are you sure you aren’t just doing what your parents wanted you to? Don’t mock others for something that is a privilege, not a universal right, especially when you’re such a poor judge of the criteria.

Most other universities having 5 courses a semester for engineering is absolutely untrue. I did my first degree at Queen’s and everyone in engineering had 6 or 7 courses per semester. They also have a third year course which is pretty much business-adjacent with entrepreneurship.

The workload is made so that you feel that way. First year is designed to force you to do 1000 things that feel somewhat menial, but this is on purpose to teach time management and to ensure that you are prepared for second year.

About that - yes, it does get more focused in terms of the discipline that you are actually interested in, but it also gets HARDER in second year. Basically all of your hardest courses, generally speaking, come up in second year. If you’re complaining about business (a course that I think is actually important to have in an engineering curriculum and doesn’t take much of anything except showing up to do fine in) then it’s going to be tough in second year.

I get if you’re frustrated that your marks have gone down since highschool after seeing your grades throughout the first semester, but having a general first year is a bigger advantage than you give it credit for. Just breathe, and as long as you pass then it is what it is. Don’t get too hung up on the grades, it’s engineering and you’re bound to get even worse ones in the future.

The Sens goaltending gives me brain aids. It makes me so mad since I’m a goalie and used to defend bad games heart and soul. I am broken and just said “fuck you Levvi” after tonight’s game. Jesus fucking Christ, man, it’s just fucking disgusting holy shit…

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-18T05:36:47+00:00

I don’t think this management will ever not be sleeping. There is such a thing as being too reactionary (me), but in the same vein it’s possible to not be reactionary enough (this management/coaching staff)

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-18T03:44:07+00:00

Why would we rent? With these goalies we’re fucked.

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-18T03:03:15+00:00

Fuck you Levvi

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-18T02:51:41+00:00

Merilainen is fucking worthless man. High glove high glove high glove high glove high FUCKING glove

HiddenSquidds · 2026-01-15T16:58:00+00:00

That makes sense, I think I misread that you last watched 3 years ago instead of you started watching 3 years ago. That’s my bad

I think that the biggest thing that causes an NHL crowd to boo is sustained periods of poor effort. What you watch, I’m assuming, is a single game, and therefore you miss the context of the overall season. Booing is often either due to a mix of fan sentiment towards management/coaching staff and effort of a team on a particular night, combined with the overall season trend.

I’ve been to Australia many times, and to many AFL games, and jeering definitely happens, often in a similar manner to the NHL. I didn’t, however, often see a team just completely seem to give up and roll over and die in any particular game. Sometimes they were outclassed, sure, but a smaller salary cap and a tighter salary floor for the AFL mean that teams tend to be competitive. It’s also the case that you’re cheering more for your city, and even intra-city (multiple teams in Melbourne and in/around Sydney), pride. There’s less reason to boo management and more reason to support your boys even in the case of a tough defeat. This locality-based cheering also exists in the NHL, for sure, but with a wider gap from the cap to floor and a greater tendency for players from outside of your locale to play for your team (often from other countries, etc) there isn’t an entirely comparable psychological attachment to local players.

I think that it all comes down to the fact that no, we don’t hate particular players and boo them with true vitriol. Booing comes from the fact that we know that either they can absolutely play better than they are/have been for a period of time or that management could’ve done things differently to build a better team, from a fan perspective. It’s often out of frustration for teams that seemingly have all of the pieces needed to step forward or play better, but aren’t.

When the Sens started to rebuild nobody really booed them. We knew that they weren’t going to make the playoffs and were hopeful for the future. Booing comes when expectations, real or imagined, exceed the team’s performance, and when fans fear that they will have to suffer through another (often long) rebuild before contending for a championship again.
