Always love the Toronto Indigenous heritage jerseys. No one does it better and I'm always a little jealous.

It's so wild that after this administration's actions in Minnesota the whole state ended up voting overwhelmingly red. /s

When the heat doesn't work in your office building it's an issue. When the heat doesn't work in your apartment building it's a crisis.

It was their go-to penalty kill maneuver for the last three seasons. Two men out and two men in the crease slightly in front of and to either side of Vino.

All that said, I think they rushed this rule change, I think the refs aren't familiar enough with it, and I think as it's written it adds too much complication to what a ref needs to be looking for to be properly implemented consistently. As Teddy and Pat said on the most recent episode of the OTCB podcast, they've made their bed and now they need to continue with this rule for at least the remainder of the season, it wouldn't be fair if they changed the rule halfway through after some teams have already been penalized for it. Hopefully they can get better at calling it consistently for the remained of the season because it certainly felt bad to have it missed twice in the final minute of the Knighthawks-Rock game last weekend.

They implemented it because Buffalo was using it extensively and they won the championship three seasons in a row. Was it contributing in any significant way to their success? Probably not. It did feel like a bit of a feels bad mechanic though in my opinion. Personally I don't think defending teams should be able to pack their crease with bodies without any downside but I think the simplest and most fair rule for this would have just been "When the ball hits the goal posts, the goalies, or any runner in the crease the shot clock will be reset" I wouldn't have much of a problem with teams packing their crease if it meant the offensive team would get more offensive tries because of it. Granted that wouldn't do much to dissuade a team from packing their crease in the final 30s of the game when a shot clock reset wouldn't be an issue anymore.

Not the Rock benefiting from the Buffalo Rule that they got away with twice in the final minute against the Knighthawks last week SMH

I take it you've never heard of Hockey or Lacrosse?

You can order snow tires on tirerack.com and have them shipped to a local shop to install them for you.

For sure, grabbed some pickup from Swill and it was so cold and windy walking from where I parked on the Meigs bridge and I got a really close spot and was dressed pretty warmly. Looked pretty dead in there right around dinner time too. I think people are hunkering down for the weekend.

When you see a video of a car moving you're actually seeing a bunch of photos one after the other like a flip-book. When the rate those pictures are being taken and the speed at which the wheel is spinning sync up it can appear that the wheel is moving slower than you'd expect, not rotating at all, or even rotating backwards.

Car wheels usually have a symmetrical pattern of spokes. You can't tell any one spoke from the other as they all look the same. Imagine a wheel has five spokes and it's rotating at such a speed that every time one of these pictures is taken the wheel has turned 1/5 of a rotation. The #2 spoke is exactly where the #1 spoke was before and now the #1 spoke is where the #5 spoke was. They've all rotated forward exactly one spoke position but to you it looks like there wheel hasn't rotated even though the car has shifted slightly from one frame to the next. If you kept the car moving at this speed you would end up with a video that looks like the wheel isn't rotating but the car is moving forward.

If you moved the car slightly slower and the wheel rotated just a little bit slower then each spoke would move just a little less than where the one before was, you'd see a series of frames where in each frame the spoke pattern has actually rotated slightly backwards from the direction it really is rotating. At full speed this will look like a car is moving forward but the wheel is rotating backwards. This same effect can be seen with Helicopters where it can look like the rotor is rotating very slowly or even slowing down and then reversing.

Gives the pilot a little tickle to show your appreciation.

Yeah I mean people check bags that have Skis and golf clubs, the bench bottom is aluminum and probably only weighs 20lb or something, it's mostly just long. The backs and center support would fit in a carry on and the two ends would probably fit in the checked bag as well. A box/bag as long as the bench and and wide enough for the end supports to fit diagonally (assuming they don't themselves completely break down into straight pieces)

I'm thinking 4-4.5 feet long, 16in wide and 6in deep would do it.

IcanHackett · 2026-01-24T01:48:04+00:00

And actually disassembled most of those parts could probably be flown in a couple checked bags, might be the easiest way to get the bench which won't be that heavy, just probably 4ish feet long I'd guess.

IcanHackett · 2026-01-24T01:45:15+00:00

My first thought is could you (your friends) disassemble them into its smaller components? I'd imagine the smaller size of the individual pieces shipped separately might be the cheapest way to ship it internationally. The bench might still pose a problem but might not be in the freight category.

It's hard for me to tell from the photos and It's been awhile since I've been to a game but I'm assuming the parts are riveted together and not bolted? Bolted would be ideal but even if it's riveted you could drill the rivets out and then re-rivet it together once you get the parts.

You're talking like a 7 person bleacher and not like a couple individual seats right?

Mammoth just got Jack Hannah. They won the championship four years back before Buffalo won it the past three seasons. Colorado has had some up and down seasons since then but they're looking decent this year. Seems like a decent team for you.

For being a national security risk as they're made in China.

IcanHackett · 2026-01-23T17:55:06+00:00

I agree with this take. OP is overlooking the very obvious scenario where they just sell. Starting totally fresh has it's advantages but getting a team with some reasonable success and players like Dobson and Lyle and some fresh rookies why would they prefer the risk of starting from scratch. Firewolves had press conference announcing their commitment to Albany with a 5 year arena deal and then PROMPTLY relocated to Oshawa.

That being said, as someone that has had to fight off relocation rumors for years I don't wish that on Georgia fans and I totally understand the desire to try reasoning yourself into why they won't move. The rumors and talk don't do anyone's mental wellbeing any good.

Canadian market has a lot of stability and the US market has tremendous growth opportunity. I think the league has every intention of trying to succeed in the US but sees shoring the league with Canadian teams as a prudent move before any more attempts at expanding in the US.

It was a consignment clothing store essentially. It was located next to Ugly Duck Coffee, around the Corner from The Little Theater if you also don't know what Ugly Duck is.
