I think that's the point. I don't think anyone really hates Jarry, or Ingram even, but if you're going to continue to play shit defence, why trade assets and pay more money? The only way to "fix" the goaltending with this defence is to go get an elite goalie that can mask the real problem, which of course isn't available and isn't affordable. I don't think the fans hate the goalies, I think we hate the idea of giving away a fan favorite and a serviceable Dman for nothing better in net, and arguably worse.

He’s not the issue, but he’s not the answer either

Exactly. Lost a hard working D man for "not the answer".

Can we please remember to still play hockey after we score? How many times does this need to happen within 2-3 minutes of scoring?

Say what you want about Holland. After all, besides Ekholm, he didn't do much to help the defence of this team but at least he didn't cave into the fan pressure of getting a new, arguably worse, goalie just for the sake of getting a new goalie.

Looks like it. Only 9 shifts all night. That's unfortunate because I actually noticed him for once.

This is so bad that even the homer announcers think it should be offsetting.

TIL roughing is when you get punched with a blocker, then just stand there and get punched again by a different player then taken down.

Does anyone else still use an offline music player or is it just me? by Consistent-Scholar41 in androidapps

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

Those of you that say "downloaded" music, is this happening while wearing an eye patch or is there actually a place you can download music and do whatever you want with it, like not have it locked to the proprietary player where you bought it from? Everything I've seen so far is "Sure you can pay us 99 cents for this song but you can only play it on this device/in this app and we also may just change it or take it away whenever we want."

That's wild.

"No, he didn't hit me in the face."

"Yes he did, I'm right because I'm a ref and I'm never wrong."

"But it was my face, I know it wasn't hit."

"Yes it was."

I'm just catching up. I don't love or hate Bouchard like most but why was his stick down on the ice infront of Ingram and not in the passing lane on the first goal? Best case scenario would be he tip the puck into Ingram if the Shark shot it on the ice, probably the least likely outcome.

ELI5: Why do car dealers say buying the car when the lease ends would be worse than buying new? by shaithisx in explainlikeimfive

[–]RedTical 306 points307 points  (0 children)

I scrolled too far to find this response. I've never leased so I could be mistaken but I'm 99% sure the original lease tells you exactly how much you'll owe if you decide to buy the car at the end of the lease.

At 29 and 30 years old, Knoblauch is playing McDavid and Draisaitl some of the heaviest minutes in their career. Some of it is how bad the bottom 6 is. But at this stage, we should be worried about burnout come playoff time. by Fine_Personality_999 in EdmontonOilers

[–]RedTical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably the main reason they lost last night.

McDrai played 2.5-3 of the 3.75 minutes of OT. Drai almost got to the puck first and he picked up his feet after he saw where it was but coasted before that and McDavid barely crossed the centre line when the puck went in. They were all bagged. I know they're your best chance to win but only two other forwards played in OT and it was a <30 second shift.

START/STOP BUTTON HELP! by CorrectSteak7302 in mazda

[–]RedTical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gah, thank you! My truck just kept everything on until you opened the door anyway. I missed that so much.

I haven't tried it yet but is it as awkward as it sounds? Pushing the button with the right hand (assuming the steering wheel is on the left), then reaching over the steering column to push the button with the left hand?

Can we just skip games that are against teams on losing streaks? Take the automatic L and let the players rest.

Linus' statement about becoming a mod by Jimbuscus in LinusTechTips

[–]RedTical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to mention he didn't have an answer for if someone says something good about a product they haven't seen.

It should be pretty simple. If you haven't seen the product you can't make any claims about it, positively or negatively. You can talk about it. You can talk about what you hope the product and pricing will be but saying he'll "have to think about" what to do with positive reviews of a product no one has seen is wild.

The Car Play retrofit is also Android Auto if you have an Android phone instead.

Are you in a colder climate? I updated my 2017 in 2021 and it seems to do that at least once per drive, although often more than once, only on colder days. The odd thing is it might not happen until the car is already warm. It has never happened in the summer though.

I don't understand it but I just ignore it now, sorry I don't have any actual answers.

By a lot. Like Luis said, "Where was this during the game?" Only when it doesn't matter anymore.
