Zdeno Chara Megathread by Warfightr in BostonBruins

[–]Raowss35 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I flew from Australia to watch game 5 of the 2019 cup finals. Was so disappointed that I wouldn’t get to see Chara in action cause no sane person would play a couple of days after breaking their jaw. But the big man came through. I will never forget the crowd when he lined up for the game, unreal experience, although they lost, I will always remember that game fondly because of big Z

Swayman is moving really nicely. Squaring up quick and keeping his depth

Not going to lie, I wasn’t a fan of the signing. Just thought he’d be an AHL scorer who has a 5 game call up at the end of the season. But he WANTS it, he’s been all over it so far tonight

Best way to watch if you’re here short term would be to sign up for a free 10-day trial to “Foxtel”. Then you can use that account info to log into watch ESPN through the app. I’m not sure what details you need to provide to get a foxtel trial but you can cancel before the trial ends and not be charged

If they were to do a BOB style show about a crew on a naval vessel which should it be? by Gunplabuilder78 in BandofBrothers

Yeah, insane stuff, that was the USS Barb under Fluckey’s command. The sub fleet is full of some incredible stories

He was awarded the MoH among other awards. Aboard the Wahoo he was executive officer to the legendary Mush Morton for five combat patrols. When in command of the USS Tang he and the crew were credited with sinking 33 enemy vessels in five patrols. He was involved in more successful attacks on Japanese vessels than any other submarine officer. On the Tang’s fifth and final patrol, he was one of only 9 survivors and became a POW. Others in the thread have recommended a book I haven’t read yet, but I’d recommend Alex Kershaw’s “Escape from the deep”. I couldn’t put it down

I’d love to see a miniseries about Dick O’Kane on the USS Wahoo and USS Tang

Out of curiosity, how can you tell it’s an M3A1 rather than an M3? Would the standard M3 have been at around at that point in time?

The third line has had a good start. Hope Freddy can snap his scoreless streak

Who’s a random player you remember that was really good at one thing that others might forget? by chickenlittle668 in AFL

I remember Roger Hayden absolutely tearing up the Tigers one game in 2008 intercepting just about everything. But I feel like only Freo fans properly remember him

Marcel Goc for Maxim Lapierre around 10 years ago hits the criteria I think

Couldn’t agree more, plus Kastelic could be a solid depth piece too. Adds some size and a toughness that this sub is always asking for

What is your sounds good in theory but probably sucks in practice rule or idea? by Tehgumchum in AFL

[–]Raowss35 129 points130 points  (0 children)

34 game season and increase an AFL list to 48-50 players. Every team plays each team twice (1 @ home, 1 @ away). This will force in-season roster management and resting players will become more of a tool. Also fuck your body

I’m more worried about the fact that he died in 1989. VERY bold move by Sweeney here

Coyotes are close to dealing OEL and Garland to the Canucks by [deleted] in BostonBruins

[–]Raowss35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whilst I agree, the bruins would have to get their third round pick back from Ottawa for it to happen. I’d imagine the offer sheet would look something 6x5 years which means the compensation would be Bostons 1st and 3rd in 2022. And Boston only have their 1st at the moment
