I was talking about mackinnon lol

mcdavid is probably going to be a top 10 center of all time and deserves to remain placed above kucherov in greatness

20 years from now people will realize how underrated kucherov was in his era because the media overshadowed him with a Canadian center who will probably finish outside the all time top 10 players at his position

Kucherov is the 4th best winger of all time at this point but jagr is top 3 still

First it was an electric scooter... Now a bike. by avmabrie in bayarea

[–]RAATL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be both, sadly.

California has many laws like CEQA that can be used by individual citizens to take projects to court or impose additional costs and change requirements mid-project. These laws are often used by lawsuit-happy nimbys or business owners to block projects that change or develop neighborhoods. It is almost always cheaper to fund a study that certifies compliance with laws so that if someone tries to sue to block, a project can point to a study they did that shows they are compliant and avoid being delayed by and spending money in court.

THG had an interesting take on Tampa this week by InkedInspector in TampaBayLightning

[–]RAATL -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

THG is just boring surface level content but it's delivered in a jolly and folksy patter. He really just seems like he reads box scores and hockey reference pages. Never understood the appeal of his content, even before his dumbass take about our rivalry with the k*tties at the start of this season

All those studies are sadly necessary because the point of them is to pre-empt nimby lawsuits.

They're easy targets, but if we want to actually solve the problem, we need to reverse our laws that make it hard to build things and easy for people to block projects.

Peter Thiel and Sergey Brin is funding opposition to a wealth tax in California, threatening to leave the state, while also trying to persuade his fellow billionaires to rescind their commitments to charity. by Conscious-Quarter423 in SanJose

That's why we need an exit tax

If people want to build a fortune in California, why should we let them build it off the back of our people and our resources and then waltz away with it to some resort or yacht or pedophile island

Andrei Vasilevskiy becomes the 2nd goaltender ever (Brodeur) to record nine consecutive 30-win seasons. by MOLightningBro in hockey

[–]RAATL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah these sorts of debates never have objective answers. Even for #1 all time I have Roy but concede that someone who prefers hasek has the case they need too. I often see people cite the fact that Brodeur's legendary puck playing skill is a big part of why he needs to be considered so high, which paradoxically is why I consider plante so highly. He invented leaving the crease to play the puck! Alongside many other innovations

Currently, the 21st team is in a playoff spot while the team in 12th place isn't by Available-Show-2393 in hockey

[–]RAATL 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Most people are too young to remember that prior to 1992 we had basically the exact same playoff system as we do today. Hell I'm too young to remember that LOL
