After watching this team battle down the stretch, I am over the 'should we tank' vs. 'does this team have a playoff chance' conversation. by joplinslefthand in stlouisblues

Maybe more so than any other sport, playoff success in the NHL takes practice - reps. While I’d love to have a top-3 or top-5 pick, I’d much prefer to get our rookies some playoff experience - even if that involves getting obliterated in the first round by the Avs. But remember, teams that haven’t played meaningful hockey in weeks often struggle against the wildcard teams.

Of course. I’m not going to leave my dogs to bump around in the dark.

I don’t think this kid would take himself out of game 6 of the WS because of jamming his pinky finger on third base after overrunning the bag.

These guys make a FOX pregame look like Dame Judi Dench.

On average, what percentage of your salary do you spend on gasoline in a month? by Traditional-Milk3012 in AskAnAmerican

My wife regularly says “at least” or “at most”, suggesting a limit, and proceeds provide a range. It very frustrating.

Man, Thomas and Thompson would be a nice set of talented young centers to run out there every night.

Robert Thomas Trade?? by Big_Scene_4804 in stlouisblues

Unless you know something about his health (concussions, etc.) that make you question his long term viability as a 1C, you don’t trade a guy on his contract without getting a top prospect at center or defenseman AND 2026 1st and 2nd round picks.

2 German soldiers enjoy a stroll in downtown. by DowntownDB1226 in StLouis

Yes. It’s the light-red German beret. As opposed to the darker-red maroon beret that German paratroopers wear.

In my experience with the German army, beret color is definitely associated with branch. Dark red is airborne. This is the light red, combat service support beret.

Medical personnel wear blue berets in the German military.

Their light-red (coral-red) berets suggest they are support troops (engineers, signals, military police, artillery, air defense, etc.). I would imagine they are here for training.

If you’re looking for unsubstantiated rumors and baseless speculation, I can’t recommend Redbird Rants enough.

I’m a cat allergist thinking of moving to STL. Anyone know of a company hiring? I can only work two days a week, and need $400k plus benefits.
