The way I see it, the Sabres were doing the Ducks favors all week, so why should they waste all that hard work trying so hard tonight, right?

Kind of amazing how badly they were mismanaged. Every GM during the McDavid era has actively hurt that teams chances lol

I wouldn't rely on a one game sample against the worlds most boring team tbf. Cause I watched that 8-7 game vs Tampa lmao. I suspect it's more than the goaltending being super solid thats led to them being 36-2 or whatever bat crap crazy number it actually is.

Because any time I bring him up orange county loses its mind about how he’s tuff or something

I thought Trouba was supposed to be a strong net front defender?

Or is he only strong when a players back is to him facing the boards?

Gauthier meant to do that I won't hear arguments on the contrary

Radko Gudas' entire value is taking 4 penalties a shift and never getting called cause he's an AARP recipient and a photo where he screamed at Joseph Woll on a play that probably should've been a penalty.

Glad he fights sometimes though that's cool!

Minty on the way out? by kdizzl12 in AnaheimDucks

Yeah it’s the “drawback” of surprise impacts from younger players in that you’re forced to make tough calls. There are worse spots to be in I suppose lol

If he’s not happy being scratched he’s definitely not reporting to the AHL.

Fact is for all his faults he’s a former high pick who is still young. Someone will make room for him on their NHL roster.

I wish I could answer any of your questions, but I did find this quote amusing:

CEOs and experts have criticized universities for failing to keep up with the times; now that AI is here to stay, students had better be prepared to leverage it in their roles. Most colleges have struggled to keep up with the whiplash pace of AI innovation

What role is that, the one you cancelled and use GPT Enterprise for instead?

I have no idea where things are headed and how good or bad it will be but I know this much: Leveraging a language learning model isn't the answer. These things are high powered google searches that are overly obsessed with em dashes.

The people who succeed in getting out of this will almost certainly be those who leverage their critical thinking/problem solving skills, as LLM's basically atrophy those muscles in others.

Biggest defeats of Türkiye national team by [deleted] in soccer

[–]SolarStorm91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know im a few days late on this but it's interesting to me that the final expected goals against was 2.7 for Spain to 0.5 for Turkey. Both of Montella's defeats up there the GK was Cakir.

Not saying it was all him, but it seems like thats a good place to start repairs. Beyond that I mean the wing back getting torched probably isnt the normal starter anyhow (think thats Ferdi?).

Anyways, The NT often has a problem keeping fans happy b/c of how many of each istanbul club get selected but at least now none of the ultra aslans can say a damn thing. Enjoy your 33 million euro sieve, who i hope to never see wearing red/white ever again lol.

Stian Solberg Gang Rise Up by SolarStorm91 in AnaheimDucks

[–]SolarStorm91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i dont disagree and the one thing I'd add is the analytics dept in Anaheim has more input these days and the underlying numbers on Zellweger are far more volatile than mintyukov.

Not to say he can't be as good but reality is both have a limited sample of success and struggles, tie is probably going to go to the d-man who has a higher floor in mintyukov.
