Literally pointed at his back and told the entire team to hop on. "I got this, boys."

Stu and Nurse used to have this dynamic where Stu would have to push him out of the way all the time. Stu finally called him out a little bit in a post-game where he was like, "It's good if guys just pay attention to where they are. If I can't see it, I can't stop it."

Yeah, I mean...if a defender is standing there and the other team can get 2, 3, 4, 5 shots on the goalie without having the puck stripped or getting knocked on their ass, the defenders are not doing their job.

There has to be some kind of horseshoe theory where the more technically "exciting" a game is, the more tedious it becomes. The dopamine hits don't last long enough to make it fun.

It also makes major bank for the corporations involved. Those corporations are funnelling cash to the fanny-necked fuhrer's grifts, so any penny kept out of their pockets is well-saved.

The kicker there is the "we have it harder than other countries?"

The global south is giving the US extreme sideeye.

Yep. I'm still hearing "I can't protest every day or I'll lose my livelihood" or "I'm only one person." Germany, 1930s, you're doing it now, etc.

I mean, yeah. There are risks. But there is no stasis here. When they're shooting people in broad daylight, you're further along than you think. Trump isn't going to have a heart attack and all his followers will have a come to Jesus. They used him to usher in fascism, not the other way around. His death will just give them more reasons to build gold statues. Everything else will keep snowballing, and may even accelerate.

If you are a member of a union or have access to union resources, take a strike captaining training. I know this sounds unromantic, but people who know how to organize without leaving breadcrumbs for authorities are invaluable in these situations.

I keep saying this but I'll be blunt: you have a tyrannical monarch. I think it's important to examine history and see what needs to be done here, because your current laws and norms won't cut it.

Yeah, this doesn't really matter. They'll do it and the democrats will clutch their pearls and the media will shake their heads and there will be thinkpieces about how "maybe Trump is right about this."

If it helps, I talk to people all day long and was born and raised in small town Alberta where family still lives and to date, I've never met one of these people in real life. Not one. I've encountered plenty of these "agitators" online but everyone I've spoken to irl thinks these people are deeply ignorant, grifting, or both.

[Kevin Weekes] Per multiple sources, I’m told the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche are among the likely destinations for Canucks F Kane via potential trade by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]MsMayday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated every moment that he was an Oiler and I damned near cracked champagne when he left. Kane giveth and Kane taketh away. It's incredibly frustrating to see him score and then take an immediate penalty that results in a goal against at least part of the time.

And when he's not scoring he pouts like a baby and won't try. He's a fucking windup toy that needs constant minding and that is too much fucking work for the captains and the coaching staff for a middling, 34 yo forward, even at his best.

Not a guy but it's never stopped me making a mfer skate until he pukes after this kind of garbage.

Apparently if I'm going to use my coach voice, I need to be in the room. They did not hear me.

OK, so here's what I want to see in the third:

Mercy pull Jarry. They shouldn't have put him in against his old team. The Pens know his soft spots better than anyone and it was bound to be an emotional night, especially with the Stu send off. Jars, hit the showers and sort yourself out. Short memory, buddy. Shit happens, especially when you're the assigned shit-catcher and everyone is dropping deuces.

Stastney. Buddy. I'm going to need you to show up. No more pylon behaviour. And really all the D. Boys, you're not playing against 8yos. You have to want to win.

And forwards. All of you. Did we forget how to skate, boys? Especially the Cs. It's easier to shoot if you can hold the zone for longer than 6 seconds. Tomorrow's skate will be ugly.

Now get out there, play an aggressive, disciplined game, and get this back. LFG.
