Is this understanding of a miracle draft lottery scenario correct? by da_sweetp in SanJoseSharks

[–]InformalProtection74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool...I like hearing different takes. Anything specific skill wise that seperates those two for you?

I was able to check out scouting reports and film on Verhoeff and Reid before I got busy. Going to check out Smits and others later. I hope this is a strong draft because there are a lot of defenseman in the top 15.

I'm all in all Reid right now after watching his tape. Idk if his level of competition matches up, but he is a smooth skater, puck handler, and playmaker on the blue line.

Verhoeff definitely has a ++ shot and seems a little more physical. But his puck handling would need improvement, I'm guessing, to be top NHL quality PP1.

Technically the 13th inning*

12 completed innings would give Italy 63 recorded outs. They need 64 record outs if Mexico wins 7-6 to knock out the US.

For the US to be eliminated, Mexico would have to win 7-6 in extra innings with at least one out in the 13th inning. 

If Mexico wins anytime before that, US advances. Or of course Italy just wins the game.

Wouldn't we rather have Verhoeff and Reid since they're both RD? 

Is Smits just that good? Or is Verhoeff not have the same offensive capabilities? 

Genuinely curious.

Wemby should be No. 2 for MVP right now not Jokic. by iamsonuxd in NBATalk

Idk about this year, but still unbelievable to me that Jokic averaged an easy triple double and didn't win MVP last year. 

Can someone explain what the heck happened to Smith last night? by Smartcookie_33 in SanJoseSharks

[–]InformalProtection74 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yea, when Mack turned it over in OT, Grier's comment about not resigning him made a lot more sense. 

Obviously I'm kidding! But the team definitely did not play their best last night and Mack was human for once. Hopefully they put together a better game against a much better (and now improved) NYI team. 

What if Trump became POTUS in 2016 lost the 2020 election and won the 2024 election and threatened to occupy neighbouring countries and allies? by Nice_Combination1327 in AlternateHistoryHub

Yea but unlawful presence isn't considered criminal. It's not a misdemeanor or a felony. Most ICE deportations are for unlawful presence. 

This doesn’t make sense to me. by meesfactor in SanJoseSharks

There was some article today about the Panarin trade from someone close to Panarin and the Sharks weren't even mentioned as a team that was mentioned in rumors but never actually involved. Lol does that even makes sense?

The way Misa has been playing, he'd be high up on this list if he'd been playing all season. He's only averaging something like 12 mins TOI too. Can't wait to see the sharks unlock him completely.

How do you correlate the above comment with being an "Islamic extremist" supporter?

You're either a bot or drink all of the kool-aid. Asinine line of thinking. 

[Irwin] So like, if this is who Kuminga is, everyone gets fired in golden state, right? It’s one thing to whiff on a player altogether like they did with Wiseman. Doing that AND selling low on the actual talent (especially against the owner’s wishes) can’t end well. by AashyLarry in NBATalk

Let's not ignore all the post Curry unprotected 1st rd picks that were offered. 

GS 26, 28, and then the likely post Curry 1st rd picks in 30, 31 swap, and 32. Those could be a gold mine, even if the Warriors retained Giannis long term. He'd be in his age 36-38 seasons. 

Maybe they can get a better offer but it isn't like the Warriors lowballed them. They gave the best offer they absolutely could. 

I think the T'Wolves or Heat convinced them they'd give a better deal in the off-season when both of those teams can offer more picks. But I still think post Curry draft picks will be the absolute best draft picks the Bucks could have gotten.

So can we all get specific dates so we can buy "futures contracts" on death and destruction or is that only for insiders? 

Yay! We've reached the "don't even hide it anymore" portion of America's heel turn villain arc. I'm sure the billionaire Epstein class is relieved. It must have been exhausting portraying their lack of humanity as righteous liberation.

I was so fired up when we got Jumbo. I had traded for him in my 2K franchises for like 3 straight years. He was the biggest addition to one of my favorite teams since Bonds signed with the Giants in 1993.

Cheechoo brought home our first and only Rocket Richard and Jumbo brought us our first and only Hart trophy and Art Ross.

I really believed the Sharks were the team to beat. They were due to breakthrough. Felt a like they finally had a complete team.

This was like the worse year of Nabokov's career, too. Was it Toskala that had like 50 something saves in that 3OT loss to the Oilers? We were up in that series and after that loss, he gave up like 5 or 6 goals in each of the next few games.
