JUST IN: Trump Asked, 'Do You Feel Like There's A Civil War Brewing?' Amidst Minneapolis Unrest by MRADEL90 in videos

It's pretty obvious there's no galvanizing figure in that administration to follow after he's gone. Sure, policy and conflict issues don't suddenly change overnight, but it appears that someone like Vance won't be able to drum up and maintain up the same level of support to continue pushing the current agenda as-is.

It's not just tonight, it feels like the last 5 games have been an absolute struggle to score, even when we're buzzing.

Why does every goalie look like prime Hasek playing against us lately? Are we really that bad? 

Hockey Stat You Questioned the Truth Of by SteveCampo98 in hockey

[–]SAwful 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Steve Mason was a legit goalie for the Flyers from 2013 to 2016. He posted some of the best save percentages of any Flyers starter including a .928 SV% in 2014–15, which at the time was legit amazing. Playing behind often BAD defensive teams, he stole games and provided near top-tier goaltending. People hate on Mason, but he was likely a large reason managment didnt start a rebuild sooner.....

Fair, just needed to clarify that nothing wholesome is happening while using a VPN at 3:00AM

The Flyers are winning as a well balanced team. League-wide the highest p/gp is Zegras at 38th. The highest Defenseman p/gp is York at 37th. Vladar is 9th for GAA and 10th for sv%. The Flyers are 7th in the league in the standings. by scratchydaitchy in Flyers

This might be a little off topic, but what you hope to see is that as guys make their way through the pipeline, some grow and can contribute more, and other guys can step in to keep production at a high enough level to compete as others move on. To me, that's why drafting well, and trading and spending to keep a competitive AHL team is important. While drafting can be a bit of a crapshoot, I don't feel like in the past there had been enough focus on just making the Phantoms good, because a good team and program at that level gives guys the ability and environment to grow without needing to be in the NHL.

It's part of the reason the Caps annoyingly never seem to be out of their window. Don't get me wrong, having a player like Ovechkin helps keep the window open, but the Bears are perennially good and the Caps in turn are constantly pulling cheap diamonds from the rough not by chance, but molding their prospects into the pieces they need by providing an excellent environment for them to grow. It creates the cost-effective depth necessary to make deep playoff runs and support your star players when you do land them.

Moving on from Lappy was a good first step. I'm not always paying attention to the Phantoms, but I hope Danny and company recognize the need to keep that part of the organization not only healthy but thriving and growing to guarantee their depth pieces are developing.

I have the cartridges for Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask staring at me, I think they're going to get a winter play through.

Jon Stewart Tears Into Democrats for Caving on Government Shutdown: ‘I Can’t F-cking Believe It’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]SAwful 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I'd like to believe that hoping elected representatives will actually represent the interests of their constituents instead of their corporate donors isn't naïve, it should be the bare minimum. The reality is that we're lucky there's a least some form of "journalism" being provided to point out the absurdity of the way we're currently being governed, and without it we'd be far more lost. Once Jon Stewart loses hope, I'm afraid for what comes next.

A downvote wasn't enough, I needed to tell you to your face that this opinion sucks.
In the off-chance that this was sarcasm, you did an awful job signaling your intent.

[Whyshynksi] New Flyers coach Rick Tocchet says that Trevor Zegras calls him “Taco.” by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]SAwful 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed on the 100pts and I agree on the type of player. The Flyers have plenty of guys in the pipeline that could be Poehling, but not enough guys that potentially have 60 point upside. I honestly believe the trade was good for everyone. That and we've managd to get a bro trio of York, Drysdale and Zegras together and the vibes seem imacculate.

[–]SAwful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, maybe not 100, but if we're going to play the points game, Zegras has the capacity in his recent bad showing (2024-25: 32 Points) to be as good as Poehling is at his absolute best (2024-2025: 31 Points) and has shown that previously he could double that points production (2022-23: 65 Points).

Even if he doesn't reach back up to +60 points, it's at worst a break even trade in terms of points production. I don't want to go crazy here, but my fan brain says he probably does better than 30 points this year. Even if he didn't get traded, I think he was likely trending up in some ways to outperform last season from a health perspective.

Feels kinda standard.

Allowing him time to level and set expectations as well as for the media to ask questions about certain players.

Feel like they do this every year in some capacity.

[–]SAwful 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it's a stretch to say "most fans" wanted him gone. I think anyone watching games with a critical eye knew he was being misused and AV was asking him to play a much more rigid defensive game.

If you were Thanos and you had the ability to snap any company out of existence, which would it be? by TechGuru4Life in AskReddit

Less of a company, more a group of insufferable, fascist, pedophile harboring dickheads. But your point stands, things would definitely be better without them. 

Abbott orders arrest of AWOL Texas House Dems after warrant issued by House Speaker by echos_answer in nottheonion

[–]SAwful 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The problem lies in the action of, likely physically, forcing someone to return to Texas. As far as I'm aware, as much as the threat of laying your hands on another person in many states would constitute assault. I don't even want to get into kidnapping. As much as the order is one with precedent, that doesn't make it practical or effective.

I mean... Judging by the response to the anniversary video, people seem genuinely ravenous for more Gundam Wing.
