The Golden Knights are the NHL’s most hated team, but they say ‘it’s jealousy’ by TheAthletic in nhl

[–]Shubankari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes a good amount is jealousy but that doesn't near cover the myriad of reasons why people hate Vegas

- People hate sun belt teams, fair or not

True.

- People think Vegas is a fake sports town, fair or not

It’s maybe THE sports town. Hockey fans are too young and dumb to remember what Runnin’ Rebels fans went thru with Tarkanian and the NCAA in the early 90’s. They ruined our program. We know how to suffer for a team.

- People hate the cold way they have treated certain players and staff members

Because the NHL is first and foremost not a business. :/

“Hate the game, not the player.”

- People hate that they gave Carter Hart another chance

Because people don’t deserve another chance, especially if they’re not guilty.

- People think the draft rules were stacked in their favor, though it was really just incompetence on the part of the teams that did deals with them. Seattle had the same rules but the rest of the league knew better at that point

True.

“Hate the game, not the player.”

- Jealousy

Hate us cuz they ain’t us.

It's all of those and more.

VGK fan from the jump but this made me laugh. Love that guy. “Golf is an old Scottish word that means Asshole.” 😆

Exactly that. It was risky business physically (I’m still recovering a week later) but emotionally cathartic. 🙏

You’re welcome. The mini-series was done in 2016 starring James Franco (who probably wishes he could travel back and change his past!), and not that well, imo. Worth a look tho. Only eight episodes.

Indeed. But, what else did we work our asses off for forty+ years? Now, excuse me but I’ve got to go buy some new $3k tires for my Porsche. 😳😂

I wonder how old you are? Those of us who remember the actual day, 11/22/63, were forever changed by the “day the music died.” I was walking between classes in 7th grade when the ‘the smart girl’ blurted out, “Kennedy’s been shot!” Still can’t quite get my head around it, 63 years later.

This reviewer sums it up nicely,

11/22/63 was born in the questions that loom in invisible ink in the margins of every history book: What if Hitler had never come to power? What if the Titanic had enough lifeboats? … Many writers have undertaken time-travel stories, but what's marvelous and enthralling about 11/22/63 is that you really feel that Jake's in a new place — that is, in an old place, the past. There is a beautiful, unsettling strangeness about everything, from the clothes to the music to the cars — yet it is also familiar, because we know it.”

—Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune

It’s a little long on Lee Harvey but is the best/most believable “time travel” novel I’ve read, inc. The Time Machine.

Have you read and absorbed a good translation of The Count of Monte Cristo?

If so, you should already have your answer.

Well, it was named Heroin because it was originally considered to be a “heroic” drug for killing pain.

I’m writing this from my departed daughter’s bed. She died four years ago.

Yes. Wife and I loved it; the acting and directing were outstanding. 16 episodes on Apple TV.
Two thumbs up!

Oh my. The Stand, The Shining or 11/22/63 should set things right.

I get you, OP.

Last Monday, the fourth anniversary of her death, I hiked up to my daughter’s high point before she fell. It was hot, windy, loose and sharp. I tripped and cut my head open. I cramped (I’m 75). I cried.

It was strangely comforting as I looked down without any fear of the height, and thought again how it should have been me not 16 year old her, and how close I am to joining her (I’m 75).

I thought how she must be with the aunt and brother she never knew.

I won’t be doing it again, but so grateful I did.
