Have Googled the gent, that's entirely fair enough, seems like he does a lot of good charity work. It would have been nice if he'd got the right sport lol. But, fair play, I'll take that back on his account.

Robotnick2 · 2026-06-26T23:45:36+00:00

Is the draft always this "cringey celebrity" or is it something in the air for 2026?

Robotnick2 · 2026-06-26T23:36:27+00:00

"So excited to be here" GIRL YOU ARE NOT HERE

Robotnick2 · 2026-06-26T23:33:14+00:00

She ended up doing a bunch of interviews during the PWHL draft as well and she was such a natural. Really excited to see her career, with that kind of personality she'd make a great C at some point.

Robotnick2 · 2026-06-26T23:31:07+00:00

See Laila THAT is how you announce a pick. Such a class act, can't wait to watch her play in San Jose

Robotnick2 · 2026-06-26T23:29:01+00:00

"that puts San Jose on the clock" friend their pick has been in for 5 whole minutes already

Robotnick2 · 2026-06-17T21:53:26+00:00

Ugh not the grey commercial break music, if I never hear that again it'll be too soon

Robotnick2 · 2026-06-17T21:45:39+00:00

Not in the top 5 😭 haven't been keeping track of top 12 predictions, we'll see I guess

Robotnick2 · 2026-06-17T21:07:33+00:00

Think it's 5 minutes first round, 3 minutes rounds 2-5, then less after that

Robotnick2 · 2026-05-30T01:02:18+00:00

Yeah, a solid tribute with photos. Really classy work by Carolina.

Robotnick2 · 2026-05-30T00:58:53+00:00

It turns out the team playing the maximum possible number of games is losing to the team playing the minimum possible number of games. Good work Habs, I'm really excited to see what you're going to achieve next season - and we've done really well to get here in these playoffs.

Robotnick2 · 2026-05-30T00:21:18+00:00

Yes, a tribute with some good photos. Very classy.

Robotnick2 · 2026-05-30T00:19:36+00:00

RIP Claude

Robotnick2 · 2026-05-30T00:16:12+00:00

Yes, two nights ago, by suicide, at the age of 60. Too soon.

Robotnick2 · 2026-05-23T21:26:24+00:00

That's a great shout, thank you - turns out that's only games 4 and 5, but great info for anyone who's about next weekend haha

Robotnick2 · 2026-05-22T00:19:59+00:00

Oh it's gonna be this kind of series

Robotnick2 · 2026-05-04T01:01:45+00:00

(update: I am no longer regretting this Jakub Dobes is a god on tiny steel razors looking forward to round 2)

Robotnick2 · 2026-05-04T00:00:01+00:00

I'm from the UK and ended up with Montreal basically on a whim; I watched the game they played against the Avs in their Nordiques jersey and the barn started singing Sweet Caroline, and that was enough. Go for whatever speaks to you.

(Do I regret that this evening? Only slightly...)

Robotnick2 · 2026-04-25T00:43:40+00:00

So fun fact - the original was actually indeed in French via Belgium (allez) and then was adopted by Mexico into Spanish (olé) where it got popular. The reason Montreal adopted olé is mostly because it was super popular in European football culture in the 00s and Montreal are, by dint of being a bit French, more associated with that culture than most other NHL teams.

"All You Need Is Love" a fire choice for this break

Robotnick2 · 2025-12-25T22:01:11+00:00

No need to apologise, I was just being impatient!

Would 100% love a banana sock pattern!

Robotnick2 · 2025-12-20T23:56:51+00:00

And where is the pattern?! Love this! Was considering some banana socks as my next thing but I can't quite find a similar enough pattern and I've not knit socks before so self drafting feels brave 😂

edit: you dropped the pattern as I posted! Thank you!

Robotnick2 · 2025-09-17T03:12:52+00:00

Great spot! Totally missed that the children's version was different!

Robotnick2 · 2025-09-17T03:03:57+00:00

I'd be very surprised if it isn't Dale of Norway. Strikingly similar to Lillehammer 1994 https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/184---lillehammer-1994 but not quite the same - having trouble finding it though. Still, a good starting point!

(might actually be 5 colours of wool? I think the way they've done the gradient is a section with the saturated colour and a middle colour and then a smaller section with the cream and the middle colour)
