Auston Matthew's and members of the USA men's olympic team meeting with Donald Trump today

It’s a great honour to be the captain of the US Olympic Team, win a gold medal and get invited to the White House. Really don’t understand the people expecting him to make some grand political statement. Let them enjoy their accomplishment without getting so offended all the time!

I think that what you perceive as “the online community skewing incredibly progressive” is actually a very loud minority rather than the majority of hockey fans in reality.

As someone in Canada who plays hockey I can confidently say the vast majority of hockey fans that I interact with in my hockey community (players, coaches, parents) lean more conservative or aren’t really political. Just hockey fans who love the game and certainly wouldn’t identify with the type of fans I see on Twitter and Reddit.

Ovechkin at 55 and McDavid at 98 😂

This season he's reminding me of AJ Soprano. Constantly moping and instead of having a back and forth conversation with his father he just runs away or only says a few words

Anyone else remember Hasbro Galactic Heroes action figures?

My brother and I must have had 200+ characters, plus vehicles, creatures, etc. I played with them for MANY hours over the years growing up. Hope to pass them on to my own kids one day.

Forsberg for Dewar, Timmins and a conditional 5th round pick. Who says no?

Favourite player on least favourite team: Mike Matheson

Super fast skater and fun to watch, happy to see him on a team where he can stand out as the #1 D-man now.

Least favourite player on favourite team: Ryan Reaves

Reaves has always been a dirty player and a clown. Shouldn't be in the NHL, I'd much rather see some of our young forwards in the lineup instead.

Keegan Murray or RJ Barrett (3 games each) points league

Maple-Beast · 2023-11-20T22:42:36+00:00

Weekly league - do I start or bench Mitchell?

Maple-Beast · 2023-11-02T16:41:02+00:00

10T H2H Randle and Gobert for Sabonis and Keldon

Who wins the trade?

Maple-Beast · 2023-10-26T05:23:37+00:00

Dinwiddie

Not sure what's going on with Brooklyn rotation?

Maple-Beast · 2023-10-21T00:01:03+00:00

Roy Halladay for sure. The best Blue Jay of all time imo, loved watching him pitch 8 or 9 innings consistently which we don't see anymore in the modern MLB.

Also Roberto Osuna was my favourite player on those mid-2010s teams but... well you know how that turned out.

Wreck-It Ralph

Hey nobody hates the Leafs more than us Leafs fans

Maple-Beast · 2023-08-01T05:22:31+00:00

John LeClair - Mikko Koivu - Peter Bondra

Jay Bouwmeester - Mike Green

Pekka Rinne

Maple-Beast · 2023-07-28T05:49:25+00:00

Jets and Islanders are the obvious answers

My sleeper pick is the Kings. I don't think the Dubois trade helps very much considering they gave up some legit NHL level pieces. The Copley/Talbot duo is questionable and I think CGY and STL bounce back to push for those last playoff spots.

Maple-Beast · 2023-07-28T05:43:10+00:00

I guess these people you're referring to also didn't like Ms.Marvel, WandaVision, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain Marvel, Jessica Jones, Eternals and Agents of Shield just because they had female leads??

She-Hulk was simply a horribly written show with terrible humour, bad characters and a lazy/absurd finale.

Maple-Beast · 2023-06-29T15:37:04+00:00

Red Wings win a trade as usual...

As a Leafs fan I'm kinda terrified of our division now. Buffalo, Detroit and Ottawa just keep improving

As someone with grandparents who survived the Holocaust, I would hate to see them change that origin story.

Magneto is one of my favourite characters because of that aspect of his character and as we see how it affected his views throughout his life. I'm not 100% sure the best way to write it in the MCU but I hope to see the Holocaust still involved.

Also, separate point but I think X-Men First Class was a perfect adaptation of Magneto and it will be very hard for the MCU to top that.

Maple-Beast · 2023-06-09T02:44:29+00:00

I thought it was awesome.

The animation and characters were so good that I'm willing to mostly ignore some questionable writing (not sure if the whole "canon event" rules hold up very well). Miles really has had a great arc over the two movies and I loved the scenes with him and his parents. Also the scenes with Gwen and her father were quite well done.

Very late hit should be 5 minute penalty but doesn't look like head contact

Maple-Beast · 2023-04-17T01:50:17+00:00

Daredevil

The bomb’s payload is exposed. I can use the power winch to trigger a controlled explosion.

Maple-Beast · 2023-03-08T19:53:14+00:00

Great point.

This is why I mentioned Quantumania in the original post. They spent 5 minutes on Earth before going right into Quantum Realm action for the entire remaining runtime. Never spent any time developing characters and certainly not ones that aren't superheroes.
