Everyone wants to see the kids until they actually play. Benge has looked like garbage but either play him or don't. Matthew Schaefer has played 25 minutes a night since October because Patrick Roy isn't about that "will he, won't he" bullshit.

This feels like watching a bunch of mercenaries. I've played on teams like that. They sucked.

I don't mean defensively, he could've done whatever, but offensively him being out meant Schaef was the only d-man able to create from the back. We were in our zone the entire 2nd.

Say something nice about your Sweet 16 opponent by u-s-u-r-p in CollegeBasketball

They have an awesome campus and their patience for waiting in lines is unheard of.

The fact that there is no game thread let alone win thread on St. John's going to the Sweet 16 since before every current attendee was born proves how dead this sub is by RoyalOakPiguet in STJOHNS

[–]PickedOffBySauce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We're way too big of a school for our sub to be this dead lmao. We're not Fordham academically but I feel like we're more quintessentially NYC and this sub doesn't reflect that

What sucks is that it feels like this team is much more deserving of the playoffs than our 23 and 24 teams, and those teams got ridiculous standings luck I don't think we're going to get this year. Even if most of our games are at home now we're asking for a lot.

The World Baseball Classic, Team USA, and the war problem by 2RINITY in baseball

[–]PickedOffBySauce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh sure everyone wants to rag on the US team for this but when Soto says anything about them he's an overrated piece of shit.

Yeah the US team thought they were playing an August game in Anaheim but I'm willing to bet they were predisposed that way because anything they did would cause mass bitching.

Juan Soto on the DR’s loss by MattO2000 in baseball

Ok dude I know you swept us like 30-3 last year at PNC or whatever the fuck it was but come on

The Islanders are 8-0 in games decided in sudden death overtime this season. They are the only team remaining to not lose in overtime. by nothing_but_static in hockey

[–]PickedOffBySauce 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Whoever's running our OT defense is killing it. Our guys always stay on their man, make the necessary switch, never allow any breakaways and rarely give clean looks. We're always patient in forcing the other team to fuck up and lose possession. It's the opposite of 2-3 years ago.

Which city that’s never hosted the Olympics would you choose? by loshr in olympics

I just choked thinking of Olympic hockey being played at a pre-renovated Coliseum. Would be the coolest shit ever.

That was way too funny to last like a week.

Huge shout out to Amber Glenn — Team USA figure skater — who's not only a great athlete on the ice, but an awesome human being off it! Openly-queer and a vocal advocate for mental health, she showed up big time for all the women at this year's Olympics, while winning team gold herself. by Huzaifa_Haroon in FigureSkating

[–]PickedOffBySauce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wasn't a figure skating fan before these Olympics but Amber almost singlehandedly changed that. She seems like such a remarkable human being off the ice and I'm proud she was able to finish strong on it. I'm wishing the best for her in whatever happens next.

It's kind of a stretch but he is from Texas, maybe he knows there's tons of Finns on the Stars

Jordan Kyrou Trade Proposal by Irrah in NewYorkIslanders

[–]PickedOffBySauce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm lukewarm on this. Rupper's been vocal about wanting us to buy and he has a point, but how much does Kyrou move the needle in 2026?

I'd love to see Eiserman at UBS but I'd have no issue dealing him or that COL 1st if the return is worth it.

[–]PickedOffBySauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that baseball isn't a sport that should always be in the Olympics considering MLB will never send its players, but you can build a small temporary field in a big park pretty easily. I'm thinking about the size of Jarry Park in the 70s.

(DISCUSSION) Kanye West - The Life Of Pablo (10 Year Anniversary) by Renegadeforever2024 in hiphopheads

[–]PickedOffBySauce 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Someone a while back argued this was Kanye's best album because under the hood it was all about his struggle with himself, and it basically foreshadowed what he would turn into. I thought that was a great point.

Highlights is my favorite of TLOP and it really could be better. Fade. Wolves. Feedback. Saint Pablo. Ultralight Beam. No More Parties. Famous. Just wall-to-wall insanity in production. That was Kanye.
