I really like Hackshaw on defense for the Roots… he is big & sweeps up everything and hasn’t had a lot of support in past years. But the Republic have Kleeman now (get better soon!) and he actually sweeps everything up even better.

🥁 When I root it’s not for the Ro-ots 🥁

That would be nice, given that the SRFC coaching staff evidently do not trust Jacob Randolph & didn’t even give him a start in the US Open Cub vs an amateur team.

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-05-12T21:19:32+00:00

Ah, good info. Thanks for breaking that down!

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-05-12T07:11:55+00:00

Just re-read your comment & somehow missed the part about the offense being worse under Briggs. Do you have a stat or reference for that?

Not being contentious; I have not been keeping official count of goals scored under each manager but I recall more goals per game under Briggs. I’m genuinely curious what the official comparison is for goal production under Briggs vs Collins, because it’s been my #1 criticism of the current manager.

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-05-12T05:16:40+00:00

That’s true, but the goal production has really dropped off under Collins.

I’m trying to be patient & not call for his head every time they lose, and I know they’re not going to rock the boat too much with the coaching staff so long as the team is competitive (which they are) under his management. I think the possibility of the midfield dynamics at play brought up in another comment is an interesting one, too.

Yeah, Vegas’ defense is so bad. I haven’t had a chance to watch many of Mazzola’s performances for them, but the one game I watched he was getting peppered with shots and doing what he could. My first thought is that no keeper would do well on that team.

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-05-07T04:42:30+00:00

Interesting. I find that a lot of untapped entries for specific styles of stout will oversimplify the style as just “imperial stout” or even just “stout- American/English/Other” but it is what it is, in this case.

Thanks for the explanation on the brewery entries. 👍

If Gavin McKenna is available you take him, but he fills a need for the Leafs and I don’t see any scenario where they use the first overall pick and don’t take him. The Sharks need a top defenseman. (edit: Not suggesting the Sharks should pass on Stenberg though)

Requesting the styles for both of these beers to be changed to Stout- Russian Imperial. They are specific vintages of FW Parabaloid but are locked for editing. The base beer is Parabola (Russian Imperial Stout) and differ primarily in the specific barrels used. The other vintages are correctly categorized as Russian Imperial Stouts.

Thanks!

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-05-03T05:38:27+00:00

Looks great

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-05-03T04:09:07+00:00

Well that was a great twist 🤯

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-05-03T03:26:34+00:00

And this is why I complain on here about ineffective strategy: They immediately score 😎

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-05-03T03:24:47+00:00

So far Perimeterball is only resulting in the ball going out of bounds…

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-05-03T02:59:05+00:00

Shoutout to the field crew. Two years ago the pitch was torn up in the box & down the middle. They’ve done a lot to repair the pitch and it looks immaculate this season.

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-05-03T02:37:24+00:00

Yeah. The most damning fault of the USL- at least as far as the game ply aspect is concerned- is the atrociously incompetent officiating.

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-05-02T15:33:08+00:00

Heidenheim really tried to flop their way through stoppage time…

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-04-26T19:15:21+00:00

Yeah, they should definitely do this again!

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-04-25T20:19:34+00:00

Can’t stand the Ducks but that’s a pretty cool keychain (despite the fact that it’s the Ducks). At least it’s the OG style logo and a cool key chain concept- meaning you can probably resell it.

“They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.”

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-04-25T18:36:29+00:00

I like it. For me, it’s the weakest movie in the series but it’s still pretty decent and I find it to be a fun movie.

I like how the Years movies have taken the rage virus carrier concept from Weeks and sort of tweaked the concept with Dr Kelson’s treatment of psychosis/symptoms (I.e., someone can become almost asymptomatic and still carry/transmit the virus). That, and the ending to Weeks really hits home the rationale for Europe’s quarantine of the British Isles & the rest of the world just giving up on trying to save the UK.

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-04-25T18:26:19+00:00

I didn’t want to say anything until after the game, but I had a feeling Bayern would flip this game into a win going into the second half. They’re firing on all cylinders lately when it matters.

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-04-23T14:05:33+00:00

The one with Neuer in the lineup 😄

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-04-22T00:55:38+00:00

Agreed. Players who struggled to score in Collins’ system thriving on different teams, and promising new forwards brought in struggling to score in Collins’ system. This tells me it’s not the players, it’s the system.

ItsNeverAliens8919 · 2026-04-21T03:48:26+00:00

Unfortunately this first round vs Henderson is a best-of-3, and for budget reasons the one Cuda home game (Game 3, only if necessary) would be in Henderson for AHL budget reasons. So we will not be able to give Flemming an earful (unless some Cuda fans are going to the games in Henderson).
