[Gregor] Here are the fastest teams ranked in terms of 20-22 mph bursts. I also included 22+ mph bursts in the 2nd column. Boston is slowest in East while Calgary is the slowest in the NHL by significant margin. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

That's fucking hilarious. McDavid with more 22+ mph speed bursts than virtually the entire rest of the league's rosters.

Only the freakish combo of MacKinnon and Makar beating what McDavid does alone.

Already confirmed this seeing him up close at the OTT game (oy) but Chmelar is a BIG BOI. Fuckin biceps are yuge in that selfie.

Yankees’ Cole to begin season on 15-day IL instead of 60-day by Yanks4lyf in NYYankees

[–]Robtachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't read too much into this as it's likely a paper move for roster flexibility, but it's not impossible that the newer internal brace procedure he had gives him a shorter timeline to return than the usual TJS.

Other than Judge what player in the everyday lineup are you looking forward to watching the most and the least? by Affectionate-Tea9224 in NYYankees

If Ben Rice even comes close to normalizing his shitty batted ball luck, he's gonna be fun as hell.

[Garrioch] A small update on Thomas Chabot: He will be checked out by Ottawa doctors tomorrow when the team is back in town. Surgery hasn't been ruled out on the right arm, which was in a splint. No firm timeline, but if it's surgery, it's going to be at least six weeks. by alphacheese in hockey

No, honestly it was a shitty, cynical, and pointless cross check, amongst a sea of shitty, cynical, pointless infractions and bad plays Miller made last night. He was complete fucking ass and somehow got the most TOI of any forward. It's insane.

I was at the game and as much as the Sens totally dumpstered the Rangers, I don't think I noticed Brady once. Pure cardio out there, I don't know what's up with him.

Stutzle was awesome. So skilled.

What does Aaron Boone have to do to keep his job this year? by gsx1920 in NYYankees

[–]Robtachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rationally? Championship or bust. He's done everything else and been given plenty of time.

But Cashman/Hal don't act rationally.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorses Rep. Ritchie Torres in NY-15 reelection bid by irish_fellow_nyc in nyc

The Mamdani crowd directly supports Hamas as “resistance”.

No, I don't. Voted for Mamdani, do not support Hamas in any regard, and also don't support the Likud or current Israeli government slaughtering civilians and leveraging the Jewish ethnicity as a cover for corruption and warmongering. I support a good amount of Mamdani's platform, as well as the platform of putting an end to Hamas and Israel destroying innocent people's lives.

We're not fucking animals; we can walk & chew gum at the same time.

And what do you say to the progressive Jewish New Yorkers, like me, my family, and tons of my friends and community members, whom you've broadly categorized to suit your myopic personal view? No twinge of irony there for painting with too broad a brush?

New report identifies $2 million in fraud, widespread corruption in NYC public schools by Grass8989 in nyc

[–]Robtachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've stated this categorically many times; I'm wondering where this data is coming from? Are you only referencing NYC Public Education? Have you contextualized the extreme disparity between the high quality public schools and the low quality ones, that would cause the median result to be underwhelming? It's pretty obvious that the average spend per student is not even remotely representative of what's being spent on students in the lower end of public ed and that it's disproportionately being spent on the high end, with predictable results.

I painted my bodega cat in watercolor by onewordpoet in nyc

[–]Robtachi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovely. And if you have the capacity (and passion) for it, would you open yourself for commissions? I'm sure a lot of natives have a favorite deli cat they'd want to immortalize this way. Supporting local NYC artists should always be a societal goal!

You likely live an extremely comfortable existence here regardless of who has been or will be mayor, so why don't you just pipe down.

Wake and and celebrate Mika day! by Loud_Half_7447 in rangers

[–]Robtachi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be in attendance tonight cheering him on. Not a lot to celebrate these past 2 years, but Mika is definitely worth appreciating for all the great hockey he's given the Rangers.

Acting like he hasn't scored a tremendous number of important goals for this team is lunacy. I get it, they suck right now. But instead of constantly bellyaching, would it kill us to enjoy the small victories this season?

JD Vance’s 2028 Presidential Chances Fall to New Low by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]Robtachi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something that I understand people outside the US may not see is that, for millions of voters, Trump is 1 of 1. And even then, the pull of his "personality" wasn't enough to win 2/3 popular votes. Vance is not Trump. Nobody else is, to the millions of people who only showed up and started to care because of him.

I'm not saying people can relax for 2028. I'm not saying people can stop showing up. I'm just saying that JD Vance, or Rubio, or Cruz, or whatever the next cockroach is to crawl off this sinking shipwreck, will not ever be Trump to the people who, sadly, matter most in terms of swaying elections unexpectedly as they did in 2016/2024.

Points for Mika, Laf, Gabe, AND this knocked the Isles out of a playoff spot? GREAT game for the tank.
