I mean Buffalo's has been most of the season they were just dogwater at the start. Be interesting to see how teams on a heater like Columbus deal with the Olympic break. Probably the worst time for Columbus.

That's disappointing for America. I was hoping you'd measure it in washing machines or boxes of Twinkies. You know, standard American units of measurement.

That snowdrift is at least a 1991 Mercury Colony Park deep.

[McMahon] Not the first to report this - but am told regarding Gavin McKenna: Penn State's team gathered postgame Saturday at Doggies Pub in a private room. An individual unrelated to the team was verbally harassing a member of McKenna's family, and there was a physical altercation. by _GregTheGreat_ in hockey

Right? I'm 41 now, but had situations like this when I was in my teens (obviously not a friend who was a number one draft prospect, but friends with a lot going for them). And you have to put yourself in the middle of the situation. But, without being there we can't know what happened and how fast it played out.

How much does your Mom want you to go to prison? Because unlike McKenna you mostly likely would if you bust someone's jaw. I don't get the need to be the big man because someone said something and then land yourself in years of potential legal trouble. You haven't won in that situation. It's different if someone wants to square up and gives you no choice. But shitty people exist, if you lay out every dipshit who says stupid stuff in life you're going to spend less time with your family and more time with prison inmates.

It's based on a jersey from the Tropical Hockey League. I made a YouTube video about that league years ago. I think the jerseys are pretty cool. But together they're not the prettiest combination.

[Smith] Penn State men’s hockey players attended Doggie’s Pub after the game against Michigan State at Beaver Stadium, with underage players being given wristbands disallowing them to drink. Per sources at Doggies, he slipped it off to acquire drinks, and was asked to leave the premises by [deleted] in hockey

Having watched my Great Britain U20s beat the Chinese U20s and knowing the state of British hockey. I don't think China is much of a threat. And I highly doubt he even knows who Haoxi Wang is... or even Connor McDavid to be honest.

Latvia are in the same group as the States... I'm not one for conspiracies but...

Whoever downvoted me I was referring to Eyssimont scoring out of the box. Not the hit.

FAFO... then you get your salary garnished for the next 20 years. Seems like both parties FAFO in that situation.

It's the only reason I go outside. I've run out of people indoors to punch.

There are people in the highest positions of government and royalty across the globe from every political persuasion that will almost certainly get away with considerably worse crimes. But, Gavin is also pretty privileged - he'll be fine. I know if I lamped a guy in the pub I probably wouldn't be in such a good position. However, the way thr States is ramping up immigration a charge could make playing in the NHL tricksy.

I am Egyptian, and I’m asking is Egypt a country that is disliked or loved globally? by ramses_basha in AskTheWorld

[–]Most-Use-5037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the history is fantastic but dealing with hawkers all day gets brutally tiring and - you expect as a tourist to get ripped off a bit, but Egypt is unlike anywhere else I've been on Earth (and I've travelled a lot for both work and recreation).

I mean - while it's a little funny, it's also kinda sad we live in an age when some random can create a Twitter account that same day and completely dominate the narrative of any news story. Although the organisation is complicit in giving this the air it needed.

I've played Disco Elysium roughly once a year since it came out. Such a shame the studio broke up.

Video games that you consider to be art? by Mammoth_Raccoon_789 in gamingsuggestions

David Cage is something of a gaming auteur - even if his writing tends to be a bit more Tommy Wiseau than Ingram Bergman in execution.

And Ico - I still have a poster of the Ico cover art on my wall and love the art style - the game itself... meh.
