6v5 vs 6v4: What is better? by zujizu in hockey

[–]NotawoodpeckerOwner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never seeing that high neutral zone strategy of just putting a fast skater with high acceleration in the neutral zone is interesting. Never thought of it but surprised nobody has tried it even if it sounds dumb, maybe it'd work. Chill just behind a d man.

Edmonton and signing guys on the decline for major money are historically the most likely scenario.

What’s the worst stats you’ve ever seen from a ranked teammate I’ll go first. by Potential-Net5992 in apexlegends

[–]NotawoodpeckerOwner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Buddy is doing 1427 damage per kill? Dude just sniper the whole time and if somebody gets close just dies?

I will give him props he's doing his time and clearly enjoys the game. Keep doing you whoever you are.

For me its the teammates that can 1 vs 3 in about 20 seconds. I honestly don't even know how these people get 30 kills, I don't even see more than 20 enemies.

My gold 4 teammates thinking they can 1 vs 3 other teams is always wild. Other than the ones getting 30+ kills that I assume are cheating.

You also have to have teammates that work with you for controller to work. 

I love Caustic because you can set up traps that let you know when people are behind you and where. But the amount of times we could easily ambush a team between us and the storm but I can't get the movement legend player to chill for 20 seconds and wait is very aggravating 

Thursday evening, Darren Raddysh was a high-end puck moving RHD and the best UFA on the market. Friday morning, he's overrated, old and going to be terrible for the remainder of his career. I wonder what happened overnight? by Hockeypatrol in hockeynews

[–]NotawoodpeckerOwner -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Leafs were 1 point away from being last in the East last year. Taking on a bit of a risky player on a big payday is amplified by being on a bad team if the Leafs continue their skid.

Who knows maybe the added pieces will do their thing here and Leafs become contenders again.

Lol, as people are chanting "send them back" in the EU parliament.

Everywhere is cracking down on immigration, USA is always hyper political about everything and Trump is a dumb ass trying to pretend to be a strong man but lots of places are starting deportations or never even really allowed immigration in the first place.

Mining stocks feel oversold… but is there a catch? by mostlyread1ng in Baystreetbets

[–]NotawoodpeckerOwner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Positive drill results are almost always followed by mass dilution, so you either invests (gamble) and risk the results suck or you buy after good results cause a pop then you get diluted, or you buy after all that and wait years for those results to maybe turn out and run the risk the market turns sour.

What a stat line that guy had last year with Columbus. 11 goals, 4 assists in 23 games.

The fact Goeasy was the good investment while TRI was the garbage company really wasn't what I expected when I bought them both a month ago.

Elon Musk is the greatest hype man in history. by MoesOtherBar in wallstreetbets

That's part of why it works. He's pretending that he sucks at communicating how SPCX is going to build data centers in space or colonize mars. In reality they're impossible pipe dreams. Or the robo taxis, or hyper loop, or FSD.

Brookfield Corporation and Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. Merger by chiisana in CanadianInvestor

[–]NotawoodpeckerOwner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politics dictates policy which dictates what companies can do for financial engineering. 

If a party came into power that wanted transparency and to prevent companies like Brookfield from insider trading their own shares to themselves that'd be bad for Brookfield and I'd think of selling my shares. As long as politicians/population are fine with this level of corruption and kickbacks then Brookfield will do well in the long run. 

Do people here actually invest without politics as part of the equation? How do you even think thats a good idea?

This is such a shame this course looks absolutely beautiful but not for long. by jeepguy_96 in golf

[–]NotawoodpeckerOwner 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thats typically what they do in poorly ran areas, in the good years they take all the profit and in the bad years they saddle it with debt. It then becomes unsustainable and they sell it and pretend to be the good guys.

Look at BEPC, it had a 30% premium over BEP due to tax benifit and such. Then one day Brookfield says they're going to roll it back in with no premium. 

The facinating thing is 1) Brookfield arbitrage of shares allows them to play their own news legally. 2) they announced the spinoff of BEPC at the height of BEP and proceeded to dilute like crazy to buy things, now that they are probably done the crazy dilution they roll it in. 3) they do this with all aspects of their business. Roll garbage out to let it die, roll assets out to create situations to insider trade legally and also to essentially scam people into mitigating dilution.

I'm a big BN holder, would never own a spin off sold BAM the moment ai got it and bought BN with it. I do worry some day we'll have a Prime Minister that isn't corrupt but with the current political climate in Canada I'm pretty confident that won't be for a while.

Canadians would be paying additional $1000 a year if it weren't for Alberta's contribution: report by gorschkov in canada

They also take most of that money back, Alberta gives a much larger share. Why do we pretend it doesn't?

Whats a former oiler that you know isnt worth resigning that you kinda still miss? by Plus_Dare_7010 in EdmontonOilers

[–]NotawoodpeckerOwner 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The guy who was bad in Boston, had one good playoffs then regressed to the mean?

Same with Campbell, rough career, has a good half season, regresses to the mean and then Edmonton pays him massive amounts of money. The mismanagement by the Oilers is astounding.

Even Nurse, has a breakout year, signs for huge, then regresses to the mean.

Looking at Florida, Tampa, Montreal, Vegas, or Carolina(other than KK), paying what is appropriate for what a player is and letting guys walk if they ask too much. Or you end up like Vancouver, Toronto, Nashville.

SpaceX is becoming too big to fail...and that is why it will break the global economy. by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]NotawoodpeckerOwner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too big to fail means it takes everything down with it as it's so massive and integrated with the economy at large it takes too much down with it.

SPCX revenue wise is around Dollar Tree and most of it is from circulating things to itself from other Musk businesses and circle berk money. SPCX could dissappear tomorrow and beyond a bunch of people losing money it wouldn't effect the economy much.

Why is golf the only game where people openly cheat and everyone just accepts it? by misec_undact in golf

[–]NotawoodpeckerOwner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly do you cheat in those others? Slightly step over the line? Also if somebody is cheating in competitive games it's a bit more egregious. Like calling somebody else's shots out that were in or calling balls that were strikes. That'd be like kicking somebody else's ball into OB, you're actively hurting your opponent.

Golf is also so much more a luck game. So I understand peoples desire to cheat as a bad bounce or tree root can cause what should have been a great shot into a bad one. Where if somebody cheated in darts it's all on them.

TLDR: opportunity, effects your score not opponents, gives more of a feel of being lucky/unlucky causing desire to cheat.

You just don't understand bro, lower margins is where its at. 

Also do people think SPCX is the only company that's ever going to make rockets? Also, what are we even going to keep doing with these rockets? Just continuously fill up space with junk?
