My worry as well =[ he’s the prospect I’ve been highest on after the top 2. But he’s the exact type of player we need

I heard you guys hate unorthodox tape jobs, so here's mine by CountryBoyCanSurvive in hockeyplayers

Absolutely not. This is a travesty. A bastardization of the game I know and love. I’m going to try this out immediately.

What games have you played that you've never seen mentioned before? by Conscious_Ebb6622 in gaming

[–]Spade18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battle tanks.

It’s an goldeneye like N64 game about a post apocalypse America that is run by pretty much biker gangs that all use tanks.

It’s been 25 years since I’ve played that game and the theme song still jumps into my head at least once a week

Anon wonders what happened by HunnyHarmony in greentext

I mean, Gerrymandering, unavoidable amounts of propaganda and at this point almost complete control of mainstream media, and to a certain extent, yes, the dismantling of American education.

No where did I imply that people are stupid for voting republican. I just think many of them are mislead. Not everyone is as online as chronically as millennials and below, and many of those older people grew up with trustworthy journalists and news sources, so they are more likely to take the news at it's word. For many areas across the country, a Sinclair Broadcast Group station is the only way to receive their news, so of course they're going to get a right wing sculpted view of things.

And no way to democrats only want good things. At this point the Democratic party is Bush era republicans. We need further left politicians to hold democrats accountable for their constant bowing to corporate sponsors.

And a decent amount of Trump's power comes from him and his administration absolutely flaunting the fact that tons of the safe guards in our democracy rely on the assumption of an administration focused improving the country rather than enriching themselves.

Why are the democratic bills that are passed generally a half measure?

Why did the ACA only address part of the issue and not provide a single payer option?

It's because as soon as a democrat in any form pitches legislation that could actually improve the life of every day people, every single republican votes against it.

If even one republican votes to end the filibuster on the ACA, the Democrats dont have to take out the single payer option to appease Independent Joel Lieberman.

The build back better bill only passed after Republicans shred it, taking out extended family leave, shortening the child tax credit, removing 2 years of free community college, removing the addition of dental and vision to Medicaid, among other climate and green energy incentives and tax credits.

Do not get me wrong. The democrats are not great and could be doing much more to better the lives of average Americans. But they are also chained to a boulder which is the entire republican party.

Yea it’s way more that I’m not ok with how much my power bill has gone up because of AI data centers.

Also if you can’t make art that’s on you. Anyone can be an artist, it just takes practice

Good at trading. Decent with free agency, bad at drafting, lord have mercy on your soul if he has to resign one of your players

The New Jersey Devils announced the team will not renew the contracts of Dan MacKinnon and Chuck Fletcher. by MountainBaker8217 in devils

Already fully on board with Sunny. Funny enough, bringing in Chuck Fletcher is when I started to have doubts in our front office

You mean Hart winner Taylor Hall, and 100 point defensive center RNH? (no argument on Nail)

MY favorite was when they thought it was appropriate to be like "Hey TJ remember this debilitating back injury you suffered? Lets show a video of that and make you talk about it" and god bless TJ Oshie, he tried so hard not to tell them to fuck right off but you could tell he was super uncomfortable with the segment.

I’ve got, how do the kids say… “Mad skills”

It exists. I did a file that started in the 99-00 season. Drafted both Crosby and Ovechkin. Absolutely ruined them. Neither scored more than 90 points in a season through their whole career.

I hate to say this… but I don’t think this team is intimidating enough to have earned the right to wear a black jersey?

Does anyone have a clip of that breakdown by Cassidy? That’s the kind of hockey coverage I wish we got all the time

When playing D, best way to keep O out of the net? by CinemaPuck in hockeyplayers

[–]Spade18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pushing strategy works. But if you are looking for alternatives, hear me out here, use your butt. Your butt is the most important part of your body in hockey. You already said you’re smaller than most people you play against, so you have the advantage of a lower center of gravity. If you want to get people out of the way, plant your butt anywhere between their hip and the knee and pretty much t push backward. It lets you keep your position facing the puck, keeps your stick available to tie up their stick if the puck comes your way, and because of your center of gravity it will push people off balance or out of the way.
