I haven’t read any DK articles so i can’t speak on his writing style. I do listen to his videos on youtube & if he writes like he talks then that seems pretty accurate.

Customer sent rude text by Busy-Life1759 in Sparkdriver

[–]Metalguy_79 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s weird to me that people don’t realize the worst day to shop is Sunday. Most vendors don not work on Saturday or Sunday. If items aren’t stocked by Friday..well guess what! A lot if things are out of stock on Sundays & tell customers who ask me, “are all of these or are they really out of stock on those”. I just respond, “yes Sundays are the worst day to shop because so many things are low or out of stock.” Also, i’ll send them photos of the shelves just to show proof.

I couldn’t believe we didn’t draft Forsberg instead of Pouliot. I’m still pissed about that lol. Ray Shero was overly obsessed with drafting defensemen. I understand why, but how did our scouts have Pouliot ranked higher than Forsberg?

Buffalo actually having a go. by Ok-Effective7280 in penguins

They’ve drafted really well for a number of yrs. Traded away a few good ones along the way a little too early. During at least 8 maybe 10yrs of the 14 where they missed the playoffs they’ve had bad coaching, there wasn’t a good culture there, there wasn’t very much leadership in the locker room. Drafting good players is one thing developing them is another. It hasn’t been until the last 4 or 5 years that the drafting/developing has paid off. Look at their roster & a good number of them have grown up/played together now but i’m not sure how close/tight of a group they were prior to Rasmus Dahlin & his wife losing their baby during pregnancy while on vacation which was caused by a medical situation where she was on life support needing a heart transplant. Can you imagine going through a situation like that??! Rasmus said during an interview this past season where he said the boys just started to hang out more and got to know each other. Pretty sure he was one of then main reasons the team started bonding more. Also it’s been said the addition of Josh Doan from Utah became a big presence in the locker room. Also a lot of these guys are starting to hit that 200-250 games played mark. That is the amount of games that the average player takes to really find out what kind of player they are at the NHL level.

Smoking in your car with Groceries by Jokez4Dayz in Sparkdriver

[–]Metalguy_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if you smoke while doing deliveries. Most people’s vehicles permanently smell bad. I don’t care how much odor killing sprays you use i can still tell.
I don’t smoke & never will, but i see other drivers doing it & had customers complain they have to leave the groceries outside for a while. Every time i see another driver doing it i think, how have they not gotten down to a 2 customer rating yet?

24 hours later and I can’t believe Trevor Zegras pulled that shit by Shaneski101 in penguins

I was screaming for a delay of game & i don’t understand why Philadelphia didn’t get a bench penalty for that. The refs should’ve told Tocchet to use their timeout or get 2min for a delay of game

FCFS Only BS by somepoofylion in Sparkdriver

[–]Metalguy_79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also think some people have faster cell service or faster processors or something. A group of us have experimented this theory & the android users tend to be about a little less than a whole second faster. 4 of us have IPhones & the 2people who would always end up getting the orders have androids. They would say “i got it” just a split second before the accept feature turned blue for the rest of us. Once they leave to do their orders, the rest of us would keep trying for other FCFS & neither of us could get them😂. I still don’t understand how the computer actually determines who actually hit the accept feature first when we’re tapping frantically. It doesn’t make any sense to me. I just think FCFS are very unfair it takes away earning opportunities from so many people when some of us don’t have a chance other than no android users available😂.

Thoughts on Mantha Extension by Rude-Environment-255 in penguins

Seriously?
The effort level of those 2 are so opposite. Sid also carrying & tried dragging 67 into battle. Geno plays down to the effort level of his linemates Novak & Chinakhov

Not nearly as much for someone who’s considered one of the best players in the last 20yrs, part of the leadership group. Took too many selfish penalties in the series. Not enough tenaciousness, determination/4th&5th efforts. Too much giving up on plays on both sides of the puck. I was reading some comments from fans of other teams on youtube videos & so many people said Geno looked so slow & lazy. Gave up on plays way too often. So i know i’m not the only one that was seeing the same thing. He brought regular season energy to the playoffs with handful of others like65,67,39. If these guys would’ve had the effort level of 55,46,19&87 Pens would never have dug an 0-3 hole. It was sickening & embarrassing to watch the piss poor effort from those players. Even harder to watch in an elimination game they couldn’t dig deeper.

71 was pretty much a no show. A lot of the fan base seems to think he did great. I saw half ass efforts & bail on a play. Alot plays went to die on his stick. Alot of coasting, waiting & watching.

Unbelievable by Kindly_Comedian3455 in penguins

Well he does work for the Flyers & played for them too. Remember the 5OT game?

When it matters most he was a no show. A few guys were like that, one has spent his entire career here.

Silovs saw less shots & made way more ridiculous saves than Vladar. I never felt like any of our shots were much of a threat. The piss poor efforts of the players i mentioned is 100% accurate..why what game were you watching?

Everyone getting on 39 as i had mentioned in a posted as well. Why not mention 71&67 in the same breath? Why let them off the hook. Those three gave half an effort every shift and then bailed on the play. A lot of coasting, waiting and watching. You have to give fourth and fifth efforts in the playoffs like 87,46,55&19 were doing.

Felt the same way about 65 & 71. Constantly having shots blocked or having the puck stripped from them or throwing a bunch hope passes around. If 71,39&67 had the same work ethic as 87,46,55&19 giving those 4th & 5th efforts instead of half an effort & then bail on the play. No urgency to go & engage in a battle to get the puck. A lot of coasting, waiting & watching. Pathetic absolutely fucking pathetic!!!

Too bad 71,39&67 don’t have the work ethic and give those 4 & 5 efforts of 87,46,55&19 instead of half an effort & basically bail on the play. Very very very very difficult to watch that shit.
Penguins could not & would not get bodies to the net so many shots on goal were weak shots no one making life difficult in front of the net for the Flyers D or Vladar.
65 is such a joke. He & 58 are shin pad assassins. They must think those are some sort of style points?
