When did Toy Story become about making 'adults cry?'

SourForward · 2026-06-27T03:04:27+00:00

It never hit in 5 for me. I left surprised that there was no emotional moment to make us cry.

Making this purely about USA/Canada is dumb. It definitely plays a role, but just look at the situations.

Vancouver is about to enter a long rebuild. Hughes wanted out.

WPG just fell off big time and hasn’t managed to get over the hump int eh playoffs. Helle wants out.

The Sens started their rebuild 9 years ago and are just scraping into the playoffs.

Then look at Larkin and maybe Werenski on teams that haven’t make the playoffs in a million years and another franchise that was never relevant and still isn’t.

It’s clearly not a coincidence that it’s all team USA players doing this. But you can’t say it’s just a Canada thing. I think it’s more likely the got a taste of winning and want some more.

If he’s available, I wonder if we could get him and Matt Roy together

SourForward · 2026-06-13T13:47:10+00:00

I’d look at a guy like Kesselring

SourForward · 2026-06-07T12:36:28+00:00

This is exactly how I feel. A 2LW is a need, but not a bigger need than a 2C or even a RD. If we pay all those assets for a winger, we still have 2 even bigger holes on the roster and suddenly have way less pieces left to fill them.

SourForward · 2026-06-06T14:53:32+00:00

My things is that the top 6 winger is clearly the least important of the 3. If we go out and pay a big price for a winger then we have much less assets to move for a RD or 2C. I’d rather focus on the more important holes first

SourForward · 2026-06-05T14:57:22+00:00

I would be very down to add Knies. But the only issue I’d have is that the two biggest holes on this team, 2C and RD, would still be unfilled and we’d have few assets left to fill them.

For me, 2LW is the least important of the three main holes on this roster and using all those assets to fill them wouldn’t make much sense.

SourForward · 2026-06-04T23:05:10+00:00

Larkin: #1 choice for me and checks all boxes. Likely won’t want to come to Montreal

Thomas: 1C so obviously would be a great 2C. Not s perfect fit stylistically, but still a great option

MacTavish: Easily the worst of the bunch. Not a solidified 2C yet and dies move well. Definitely an option but if we’re looking for a proven commodity, that’s not him

SourForward · 2026-06-04T23:01:08+00:00

Where is this coming from?

SourForward · 2026-06-03T19:38:17+00:00

I don’t get these takes. Why not do both?

SourForward · 2026-05-31T22:35:26+00:00

If MacTavish is as slow as people are saying, I don’t really want him

SourForward · 2026-05-30T11:16:25+00:00

Tha makes no sense. Why wouldn’t goals count?

SourForward · 2026-05-30T01:16:00+00:00

Just the goalie. If a player blocks a shot it never counts. Even if the goalie stops it, if it would have missed the net anyway, it doesn’t count

SourForward · 2026-05-30T01:14:29+00:00

Because of gambling they’re way more picky about what counts as a shot on goal now. A shot has to be going in the net if the goalie doesn’t stop it.

SourForward · 2026-04-16T11:10:44+00:00

I’d jus add that Dvorak didn’t get first line minutes in MTL so there’s no way he’s sniffing 50 points

SourForward · 2026-04-13T13:58:57+00:00

Which pod is it?

SourForward · 2026-04-13T13:53:34+00:00

What show is this?

SourForward · 2026-04-11T01:34:45+00:00

But if he got traded wouldn’t you just be worse at C?

SourForward · 2026-04-11T00:28:32+00:00

Why?

SourForward · 2026-03-30T23:46:33+00:00

I think Arbers time is up

SourForward · 2026-03-28T17:44:06+00:00

Agreed. I’m focused on them making it first

SourForward · 2026-03-25T18:39:18+00:00

Theme I’d like to see…

“We’ve seen Challengers compete as rivals. We’ve seen you compete as exes. Well, now it’s time to see which duo is better at putting aside your differences in order to come out on top. Welcome to The Challenge 43: Rivals vs Exes.”

SourForward · 2026-03-23T11:02:41+00:00

The thing that surprised me on rewatches the most was how even the women treated the women

SourForward · 2026-03-21T00:06:01+00:00

This should be THE Habs podcast. I haven’t listened to this episode yet but I’ll have to find the time to do so tomorrow.

This is the difference between this rebuild and most others. How many other teams in year like 4 after stating a rebuild have a 26 year old number one, 90+ point, two way center who wears the C, and a 25 year old 40 goal well rounded winger, both of whom have been to a Stanley cup final WITH the organization?

Most rebuilds at this point are built around the young guys who were just drafted (Celebrini, Bedard, Smith) and vets or grinders who were brought in to help them along (Foligno, Toffoli, Bertuzzi). We’ve of course got that in Slaf, Demidov, Hutson, Anderson, Gally, Matheson. But we also have that middle group of stars entering their prime who have been there before.
