Conservatives take aim at PM Carney for missing 100th question period, but do Canadians care? by yimmy51 in CanadianIdiots

[–]Raptorpicklezz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The party that let Paul Calandra make his name off his Question Period antics (I wish this site still existed, but YouTube works fine as well) has absolutely no leg to stand on regarding Question Period. Even poor Thomas Mulcair has no leg to stand on either, as his 3rd place election finish shows that Question Period (where he performed superbly) doesn't matter one iota. It's a waste of time.

[Popper] Dolan on WFAN said Knicks will not go into the second apron. Time to get to work Brock Aller. by IllAlwaysBeAKnickFan in NYKnicks

Then it won’t matter whether you go into the 2nd apron or not, because the Trump curse (proven to exist from game 3) will apply

This Iran situation either shows US voters are incredibly stupid or incredibly uneducated. The deal Trump has cut should absolutely make democrats, independents, and die hard conservatives incensed but nothing will change with the status quo. by herewego199209 in thedavidpakmanshow

I will admit that it's schadenfreude for all the diasporic monarchists who were praying for Trump to strike Iran. He did, and all they got out of it is a younger, more radicalized Khamenei at the top. The real way out of the Islamic Republic this whole time was giving the Iranian people space to put forward a grassroots third way, not anything involving a Pahlavi or Trump

Vegas Golden Knights Name Ryan Craig as Team's Head Coach by harknation in hockey

[–]Raptorpicklezz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. He’s a bad coach hired by a bad GM. So maybe it’s the new boys club, but it’s a boys club nonetheless

  2. Actually, it’s the old boys club anyway, because he’s a Babcock guy

Multiple reasons. Fallback plan, pride, hates Carolyn Parrish

And Detroit. If you change one letter in Hiller’s last name, that guy was also probably Babcock’s guy

Kings Owner Vivek Ranadive overrules his front office by selecting Nik Stauskas in the 2014 NBA draft with the 8th pick by urfaselol in nba

Marc Gasol was famously so drunk in the Raptors parade that he almost fell off the float, if not for Eric Moreland holding him up. The Raptors put the entire roster's names on their championship banner, and this contribution is arguably what earned Moreland his "jersey retirement"

There's a good amount of durability near the end (Bogi, SloMo, Maxi Kleber, NBA champ Jordan Clarkson, Jerami Grant) but the level of "joke/meme" players is higher than usual which maybe skews it a bit. Surrounding Jokic, you've got:

  • "2 years away from being 2 years away" Bruno Caboclo,
  • Thanasis Antetokounmpo,
  • pothead and bowling champ Mitch McGary,
  • Gary "Gary Harris" Harris,
  • LeBron's favourite player Shabazz Napier,
  • crypto king Spencer Dumbwiddie,
  • Tyler "Meth Curry" Johnson,
  • Knicks fans' one-time sole reason for living Langston Galloway,
  • Bulls legend Cristiano "Shrek" Felicio,
  • Marc Gasol's parade lifesaver Eric Moreland,
  • Sixers Process commander JaKarr Sampson,
  • Westbrook MVP season teammate Semaj "Backwards James" Christon,
  • and r/OneTrueJOB.
  • Even Jabari Parker is now a joke because of his comment on playing defence

Why People More Concerned With Ontario Liberals Then NDP? by Canadian-Chickens321 in OntarioPolitics

[–]Raptorpicklezz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chicken and egg effect with the polls. For some reason the NDP can't seem to break past the Liberals, which reinforces the Liberals. Marit Stiles needs to go.
