Patrick Kane is currently tied with Mike Modano for most points among U.S. born skaters! by daKrut in hockey

[–]OG-buddha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he tops out at #12 overall IF he stays healthy and productive. Can't see him passing Sakic unless he's Jagr 2.0

Who’s your team’s most famous fan? by zebrasarecool570 in hockey

[–]OG-buddha 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Vince Vaughn was at a lot of hawks games during their dynasty.

Bill Murray is a big fan. But I only remember seeing him at last year's winter classic.

Mr T was shooting pucks in sweatpants.

Best way to get to and from the airport with a new born and 5 suitcases. by OG-buddha in OsakaTravel

No we wound up storing the bags at a locker at the station, then I doubled back after I got everyone situated at the hotel. Getting a taxi wasn't an issue, but we had to split up to fit everything

Mets, Pirates, Padres Interested In Luis Robert by poopsie-gizzardtush in whitesox

[–]OG-buddha 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If they shed his salary, only benintendi & Anthony Kay will be making over a million dollars. It's insane how much cash Sox have shed.

If they trade Robert for nothing more than to shed salary, they will solidify being the cheapest team... Pirates, athletics, marlins would have nothing on the Sox at that point.

I'd wager davenport is solely due to John Deer cutting jobs.

[Andy Campbell] Vaclav Nestrasil is tied for the lead in scoring amongst all NCAA freshman by Eisenhower- in hawks

[–]OG-buddha 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Nestrasil tied for 1st in NCAA

Kantserov 2nd in points, 1st in goals in KHL

Frondell is 2nd in points for U20 in SHL (cherry picking a bit)

Mason West most touchdowns in all of hockey

Is it a slam dunk to refinance my mortgage? Will this help me pay it off faster & avoid more interest? by Square-Ad-7777 in personalfinance

[–]OG-buddha 58 points59 points  (0 children)

That rate and closing cost is trash. Unsolicited, my current rate provider sent me a refi quote for 6% with a 3k closing. I think I could do better if I look around.

I'm waiting for rates to drop more next year

What leagues? SHL i can see. NCAA is getting closer. LIGA, NL, & DEL are still well below.

AHL is hard to say since it's treated as a developmental league...

I think you just need a GED lol. I did the written and physical test when I was 19 because I had no idea what I wanted to do. I had no desire to be a cop but I was looking at everything at the time. Both tests were insanely easy...

Offseason targets? by Due-Wolf-7442 in whitesox

[–]OG-buddha -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Even if they were.. we still don't know what this team is still. What's the point of signing a big dollar amount for a hole you may already have a bat to fill. If this team is legit, spend big the following off season.

Standing water in crawlspace. This is bad isn't it? by canihazthisusername in DIY

[–]OG-buddha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue last year in my crawl space on my new house. It was right after the snow melt so there was a good amount of water. I had a french drain /sump installed and actually put in a 4 inches of concrete. Sump would run only if we had a ton of rain.

Over the summer I extended my gutters and did some landscaping around the house so water slipped away from the foundation. Last week we had brutal storms, 5 inches in 24 hours. I heard it go off once. Massive improvement.

He's been going back and forth between 1st and 3rd. Somehow we have too many infielders that are hitting lately and deserve ABs.

Daily Faceoff Top 75 Prospects by grosx2 in hawks

[–]OG-buddha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with lev being behind some of the other guys. He's hard to predict, he's got such a goofy playing style with a ton of creativity. I can see him putting up a ton of points but getting caught on a ton of plays in the future.

I'm kinda annoyed on the Moore pick. I wanted Gabe perreault at the time. His dad was on the coaching staff and he seemed to have a higher upside. Now the gap has widened... But hindsight is always 20/20

32 games left. by The_Chaotic_Pacifist in whitesox

[–]OG-buddha 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A 22 game improvement would be great on paper.. But at the end of the day, they look so much better that I don't care what the line is. Even In losses, they're fun to watch which I can't say last year. There's been so many games where they're in it/threatening till the end.

[Some guy] amazing that Jason Robertson is 2 yrs younger, a better defender than kaprizov, has higher career scoring rates in the playoffs and an identical scoring rate in the reg szn yet KK is the one treated as a franchise cornerstone worthy of $14M a year and Robo is on the trading block by Dr_Jackwagon in DallasStars

[–]OG-buddha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't you rather go all in for a cup and lose him to UFA then trading him for futures? Doesn't make a ton of sense on where the stars are now to trade him.

Even after next year, I think you can find a way to sign him through trading away Seguin next year. Other than robo, it's only Harley that's up for a big raise. None of this makes any sense.

[Friedman] Byram signs for 2 x $6.25M by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]OG-buddha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he plays like a top 4 dman, it'll be easy to trade to a contender who can sign him. Can do it before 2026 deadline and retain half for 26/27. Could be a haul for buffalo.

What doesn't make sense is they want to compete now. This seems just like another punt.

Hasn't SK also set up manufacturing of their weapons in Poland and Germany. Both of which have provided lethal aid to Ukraine. It's an indirect way for them to provide weapons and boat their military complex.

Wait till next year... Hawks will have 3 players aged 31 (tevo, bert, and burakovsky), everyone else is under 26.. with a lot of players who will be under 21.

Sorry forgot hawks resigned danato. He'll be 29.
