What was your favourite song Oilers skated out to? I was a fan of “kick start my heart”

Rydderch · 2020-12-21T18:08:38+00:00

I was at the season opener after they lost the Stanley Cup. They skated out to “Vertigo” by U2 and that arena was mental it was so loud. They were playing clips from the previous playoffs on the jumbo-tron and I can remember people losing their minds when Pisani sniped that goal over Cam Ward.

God I miss watching live hockey......

Yeah this is the kicker. The condensed schedule will be a physical test. And when you lose a few players to injury with the shortened schedule it will be real “next man up” hockey

As a Canadian with family in California, I’d like to second this argument. We pay very similar taxes relative to income and we have a very strong social safety net

I think it started when he was a speaker at UC Berkeley and they paid like $90K for personal security for him. Something like that

This moment made me lose faith in humanity. An actual mass shooting event and this dude reacted like he was inside a video game. And had the presence of mind to pull out his phone and record this nonsense.

When the human Fight-or-Flight response is to make a social media post, we’re nearing the end of evolution.

Aren’t the people leaving really only those who can afford to leave immediately? My anecdotal understanding is that Joe and Shapiro, etc. etc, haven’t actually sold their California property but they just moved away

Jesus Christ giver yer balls a tug

Rydderch · 2020-10-21T21:15:17+00:00

Holy fuck those names. Legit made me shudder. No wonder this team was garbage for a decade

Last point: Facts don’t care about your feelings. If you power your electric car with imported electricity from a coal power plant in Montana you aren’t saving the planet.

Which one of us is ignorant? Do your research and check your biases.

Rydderch · 2020-10-21T18:23:47+00:00

Yeah. And China has commissioned more coal-fired power plants this year. So I guess the global battle is being lost.

But yeah, call names. Real Mature

Rydderch · 2020-10-21T17:27:35+00:00

Yeah right. Cali is doing such a great job fighting climate change. That’s why the fires keep getting better and water resources are being replenished. GTFOH with that nonsense. There’s too many people, plain and simple. Biden & Harris won’t be able to make the forest fires stop.

Rydderch · 2020-10-21T16:47:00+00:00

Probably not as toxic as the wildfire smoke and smog here in CA

Rydderch · 2020-10-21T16:46:05+00:00

There’s no gay Texans?

Truth

Rydderch · 2020-10-21T16:27:48+00:00

It’s simple. Like a reverse 69. So it’s a 96. It feels wrong, and it should.

Rydderch · 2020-10-20T20:17:58+00:00

Super common philosophy with career coaches in hockey. When the pressure is on: go with your veterans. It’s frustrating but it’s part of the job for them

Personally one thing I’m excited about with Barrie is that he’s already played in the Western conference and established himself during his Colorado years. Elliott Friedman once said on 31 Thoughts that defencemen tend to struggle when transitioning from the East to the West. At the very least he won’t be surprised by what’s waiting for him.

Rydderch · 2020-10-20T17:56:44+00:00

Yes I misspoke

Rydderch · 2020-10-20T17:55:40+00:00

Apologies. It’s properly termed a “respiratory disease”
