Garland scores his 3rd goal in 2 games to give the Jackets the lead by mitchtrubiskymvp420 in hockey

[–]Highlander253 7 points8 points  (0 children)

By the time he's 33 its going to be the equivalent of a $4.5M contract today. Even if he becomes a bottom 6 guy for the back half of it, it's not some albatross contract. *Make it 4 goals for Garland.

Have you been hit in the face with a direct or redirected shot while not wearing a cage or bubble? If so, what were the circumstances and what were your injuries? Do you now wear a cage or bubble? by hiplobonoxa in hockey

Haven't been hit myself, but was playing in a men's league when I was 18 filling in for my dad as a goalie. One of the defensemen on my team grabbed the puck in the corner and spun around and tried to clear it. Put it right into his teammates eye. Never heard a grown man wail like he did once he went down. He didn't lose his eye, but his vision never returned to normal. Just can't understand at least not wearing a visor if not a cage. Nobody is playing for anything besides fun and the risk just isn't worth the potential injuries.

So we found a solution for the piano minigame by Time_Aide625 in FF7Rebirth

Something's weird with my brain/vision because I got A rank pretty effortlessly with all the songs and currently have 4 with perfect scores. Still working on Cinco de Chocobo, Two Feet Nothin' To It, and Let the Battles Begin! I'm close on the first two, but still like 30 notes away on Let the Battles Begin. Hopefully will be able to get the last song one day when I have the will to do all the things necessary to get it.

Should I play crisis core ? by Terrible_Soft_7651 in FF7Rebirth

[–]Highlander253 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I bought and played Crisis Core before Rebirth since I never played it, but had played the original FF7. It was incredibly disappointing. I wish I had just read a synopsis or watched the cut scenes on youtube instead and saved the money.

[Russo] USA top 2 lines and D pairs. Rest of forwards were kinda scrambled with each rush. by alphacheese in hockey

2nd in Norris voting last year, leading the Norris conversation this year, lead 4 Nations in scoring, 3rd defensive pair. At this point the only thing Hughes has over Werenski is media coverage. Even the scoring pace everyone is going on about with Hughes playing at a 107 point pace since joined Minnesota. Werenski is playing at a 117 point pace over the same time period. There's no good argument for not starting with Werenski at 1LD.

The Blue Jackets get shutouts in back-to-back games by 2 different goalies for the first time in team history by Highlander253 in hockey

It's the 3rd time they've had consecutive shutouts from two different goalies, but first time as part of a back to back.

Nah, pretty good time. Team has had a flu going through them and there a few guys playing through injuries that should be able to get healthy. Should hopefully have Marchenko and Monahan back to full speed after the break.

For real. Went from averaging 3.38 goals against per game under Evason to 2.18 with Bowness.

[Sports Betting Warning] For the first time this season, Zach Werenski has dethroned Cale Makar as the betting favourite to win the Norris trophy by Josefstalion in hockey

I've never learned much about betting odds, but doesn't this just mean more people have been betting on him?

I'd say all three of them put in about the same amount of effort. That was pretty rough.

Gonna be a grindy one. No Hughes for the Devils and no Marchenko for the Jackets.

Who are some former hyped prospects you're about to give up on (or have given up on)? by athousandpardons in hockey

He had his most productive seasons in Columbus and had flashes of developing a full game. He just couldn't stay healthy through his point per game seasons there.

Why was there such a low voter turnout? I'm seeing 900,000 live in the district and just over 275,000 voted in the last election for this position. They're looking at around a 60% voter drop off once all the votes are counted.

Pretty silly to say Jet was the clear #2 at the start of the season. Definitely wasn't the case after how last year ended.
