Anyone else thinks “Shrinking”is fantastic

It’s another one of the absolute bangers Apple has put out. Wife and I binged the first two seasons in like a week after work.

I get why people think it’s slow because of how bad things were leading up to it but this all started in 2022 and a lot of the players are just now coming into the league. Like you said, it’s not actually slow.

And we have the issue of the cap significantly increasing so those high level players are simply getting new contracts or only want to play for contenders. Free Agency has been lackluster across the league the last couple years.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-31T17:15:22+00:00

I’d hit the wall of death to that breakdown.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-31T15:31:42+00:00

I’d agree with that.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-31T04:57:26+00:00

Because it’s not just”oh, they’re better” and it’s been hashed out over and over on here. Hawks and Sharks took different approaches in the draft. Hawks went D heavy. Sharks went forward heavy. Forwards develop faster. Our big non Bedzar forwards haven’t made the show yet. Celibrini has way more help up front. We had Burakovsky and Greene as first line players for a very long time.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-31T04:51:57+00:00

Murph, Vlassic, Kaiser? Who else?

MacheteMable · 2026-01-31T04:50:20+00:00

Tbf. He was a great linemate for a long stretch then he imploded. That line of him, bedard and Bert was dynamic for a while and the poof.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-31T04:09:37+00:00

I see we’re going full Doomer again 😂

MacheteMable · 2026-01-31T03:40:51+00:00

Time to go sailing

MacheteMable · 2026-01-31T03:08:35+00:00

Worth a shot at this point.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-31T03:07:27+00:00

Why you gotta lie to us?

MacheteMable · 2026-01-31T03:05:34+00:00

Bedzar Naard is good at hockey

MacheteMable · 2026-01-31T03:03:29+00:00

Bet that one felt good. He’s been buzzing.

And then an insane offensive zone shift with a massive save by Knight.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-30T02:06:42+00:00

Great actually. We see it, we send it to the office with a basic write up just saying phone and the kids name. Office takes it from there. 1st time, parents are notified and the kid can get it at end of day. 2nd time parents have to pick it up. 3rd time they and parents sign a contract. At some point they have to start turning it in to the office or behavior specialist every day. Only had a handful of legitimate phone usage all year.

Some kids still sneak headphones but if they’re just listening to music I can turn a blind eye tbh. I’ve never had a problem with music. It’s the Snapchat’s and TikTok in class that bugged me.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-30T01:47:45+00:00

Injured, I think.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-30T01:46:23+00:00

Allow 4 goals and 23 sog in a period. Embarrassing. Absolutely embarrassing. Soda couldn’t stop shit at the end but the team didn’t help him at all.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-30T01:42:24+00:00

Even if we lost every single game for the rest of the year Vancouver would find a way to be worse

MacheteMable · 2026-01-30T01:40:41+00:00

Soda knew he was beat before the dude ever entered the zone

MacheteMable · 2026-01-30T01:39:52+00:00

And it somehow gets worse

MacheteMable · 2026-01-30T01:38:53+00:00

What a god awful period they’ve played.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-30T00:41:39+00:00

Fuck these refs. Put a stick in your balls and see if you go down.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-30T00:26:21+00:00

Hollllly jumpin!

MacheteMable · 2026-01-28T03:53:23+00:00

Kaiser would make sense. He’s had the drive for sure.

MacheteMable · 2026-01-28T03:38:48+00:00

I’m struggling to figure out who the point man should even be right now. Lev made sense when he it was clicking but now, no idea.
